reQuire LLC, a release tracking company, announced that
Kevin Dodson joined the company as director of sales. As the director of sales, Dodson will serve as mentor and coach to all reQuire account management and sales training team members.
In his new role, Dodson will be instrumental in the development of sales strategy, goals and plans, and evaluating results and effectiveness of sales activity. He will travel frequently with account management team members to support client acquisition, retention, and business development activities while also establishing strong relationships with new and existing referral sources.
Dodson has been in the title and settlement industry since 1986 when he began working for a real estate attorney. Soon after working as an independent title examiner, he opened a title and settlement agency that he successfully owned and operated until 2005.
Prior to joining reQuire, Dodson held positions working as a business development executive for a title insurance company and as the senior vice president and manager for the title and settlement group of a regional bank in Virginia.
“As an employee in the title and settlement area, I have worked closely with reQuire and have watched them grow from a start-up organization to a well-respected national company,” Dodson said. “As I join reQuire, I feel honored to be a part of this incredible team and am excited about the opportunities as we move forward.”
“Kevin has been an ally of reQuire’s for nearly a decade,” said Robert Pleasants, reQuire’s vice president of sales and marketing. “We are very excited to have him lead our sales team.”
Founded in 2002, reQuire provides a unique solution to the epidemic problem in the industry related to unreleased deeds of trust. The lack of lenders statutory compliance and the inconsistencies in lien release-reconveyance methods among states and courthouses has created an ongoing and costly problem for settlement agents in tracking and reporting the release of property liens. reQuire’s Internet-based release tracking services relieves this burden from the attorney or settlement agent and allows them to spend their time on more profitable, revenue-generating tasks.
