Chicago Title announced the addition of Jeffrey Howell to its major accounts sales team. Howell will be the team’s vice president and associate counsel.
Previously, Howell served as the national director of sustainability for Chicago Title’s parent company, Fidelity National Financial, and considers his transition into major accounts sales a natural one.
“My goal is to go beyond facilitating relationships,” he said in the announcement. “My experience is crucial to my clients’ success because it allows me to be proactive in overcoming obstacles that arise in complex transactions.”
A graduate of Southwestern University School of Law, Howell will concentrate on working with commercial real estate attorneys in Southern California.
In addition, Howell’s unique background includes knowledge of energy efficient real estate financing and valuation issues, experience as an instructor at UC Irvine and working with joint ventures with multiple startups.
“Jeffrey brings diverse experience and great technical knowledge to our team. I believe his clients will value his perspective and expertise on title and real estate,” said Joe Goodman, senior vice president and Southern California operations manager for Chicago Title’s major accounts division.
