North American Title Insurance Co. (NATIC) announced two new additions last week. Chalo Fleming was named Oregon and Washington state agency manager and Chris Casa was named director of marketing and educational programs.
Chalo Fleming will be responsible for the company’s expansion across Washington and Oregon. With a career dedicated to the title industry and a remarkable record of closing multi-million dollar transactions, NATIC is confident she will successfully orchestrate the independent agency division’s growth throughout the Pacific Northwest.
“We are pleased to have Chalo Fleming as part of our expansion into the Pacific Northwest,” said Geoff Ginn, NATIC’s senior vice president & independent agency division manager. “Chalo has ties to the title business that date back more than two decades. She joins our team with great enthusiasm and brings a proven track record of exceeding customer expectations. According to the independent agents we surveyed in both Washington and Oregon, there is a great opportunity for a strong boutique underwriter like NATIC that is committed to the independent agency. Chalo will be the key to forging productive relationships with top tier agents.”
Chalo joins NATIC from its parent company Lennar. During her tenure at Lennar, her dedication and effectiveness were clearly demonstrated by her securing over 1,700 homesites for her division’s first year in business. Born and raised in the Washington and Oregon area, she brings 20 years of industry experience to her new role, including relationship building skills and passion for success. She joins NATIC as a licensed Real Estate Broker and graduate of the University of Washington’s Commercial Real Estate Development Program.
“NATIC intrigued me,” Chalo said. “They’ve resolved the industry’s core issues with strategic thought, determination and a remarkable team. A team I felt I wanted to be a part of. Their continued success is no mystery and I look forward to creating and nurturing the strategic alliances that will ensure that this company continues to grow strong, as it paves new ground in Washington and Oregon.”
Casa will be responsible for using advanced marketing communications tools to implement and develop programs that efficiently educate and disseminate information to its independent agency partners. His unique combination of title industry perspective, accomplished relationship building background and technological prowess provide NATIC confidence that he will successfully spearhead and strengthen NATIC’s dynamic growth.
“Casa adds a dynamic level of expertise and personality to NATIC's marketing team,” stated Otto Suarez, national marketing director for North American Title Group. "We're very fortunate to have someone of Chris’ caliber on our team. NATIC will benefit greatly from his marketing experience. We are confident his insight will be instrumental and conducive to the growth of our organization."
