Verus Title Inc. hired Chris Mitchell, who has 20 years of experience in the title industry, for the newly created position of managing director of Texas operations. Prior to joining Verus, Mitchell was senior vice president of Capital Title of Texas, LLC.
“Opening in Texas has been a priority for us, and I’m excited that we are now licensed to operate there,” Verus founder and President Paul Yurashevich said in a release. “We believe that the demand for an innovative title agency such as Verus, with industry-leading technology and a national footprint, is significant, and our goal is to leverage that demand through additional planned growth. Verus has been steadily rolling out into new markets and plans to operate in all 50 states over the long-term.”
Fathom Holdings acquired Verus Title in November 2020 to complement its suite of services in the residential and commercial real estate market. Verus has since added operations in Texas and Illinois, and expanded its footprint in Indiana, Maryland and Virginia. Texas is Fathom’s largest residential real estate market, and Verus intends to initially focus on the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
“Verus has been exceeding all of its goals since its acquisition, and we look forward to its continued growth,” Fathom founder and CEO Josh Harley said. “We are also excited to welcome Chris to the team. He brings a wealth of experience and well-earned respect to Verus, as we continue to serve agents and clients across Texas. He has been a true friend to our Dallas-Fort Worth agents for many years, constantly going above and beyond. I know he will bring that same energy to Verus and Fathom.”
