Nearly 20 years ago, Ryan J. Orr was signing documents to refinance his home, when the escrow officer asked him why he was wearing a suit. It happened that Ryan was a recent college graduate on his way to a career fair. “Let me get the sales manager,” the escrow officer said. Ryan was hired 30 days later, and he says he has never looked back.

Ryan dedicated himself to learning his craft, and his new career took off. “I knew I could get away with not knowing a lot to start, but I needed to invest in my career and be educated to know as much or more than my clients — or if I didn’t know something, I wanted the resources to know who to turn to. So, I joined chambers of commerce, went back to school and took real estate classes, and got involved with leadership in local professional associations. For me, it became very personal, very quick.”

Taking a cue from his favorite sales trainer, Jeffrey Gitomer, who says that business cards are boring, Ryan created an alter ego called “The Title Guy.” This part mild-mannered businessman, part super-hero persona also had a slogan: “Whether you sell, buy or refi — specify The Title Guy.”

Today, Ryan is the face of “Team Title Guy” at Ticor Title in Ontario, where he serves the West End of San Bernardino County. His inside support is 25-year industry veteran Victoria Rebello, and together, they hold their spot among the top 5-10 percent in the nation. “Victoria is service- and solutions-oriented with a bubbly personality. At the volume we’re running, without her it would be almost impossible to get everything done in a day. Making sure you have the right people in the right seats is imperative to success at a high level. Ideally, in the next year, my goal is to get to the top 2 percent in the nation.”

Helping Others Succeed

Ultimately, it all comes down to service. “When someone calls, they will get a response in minutes. If I’m in a meeting, my phone forwards to Victoria, and she will respond. It’s important to me that when somebody calls, somebody answers. I never take for granted that good relationships are based on communication. If we don’t know what you want and when you need it, we can’t exceed your expectations. And we are relentless with follow-up. When there is a challenge, we typically get things worked out. We know how to find creative solutions to get the file closed while safeguarding the parties.”

Ryan’s peers have the highest praise for him and his team. One summed up: “Since meeting and starting to work with Ryan, I have had nothing but great service. I have not opened a title order with any other title rep for about 8 years now. There just is no reason. Ryan is always available and treats me like his only client. I highly recommend using Ryan for all title orders. He is a great connection to other services, as well, and makes himself a valuable resource. Give him a try and you won’t have to worry about title anymore.”

Ryan’s priorities in life are faith, family and business, and his values are reflected in the way he serves both clients and community. He is a founder of the West End Real Estate Professionals (WEREP), a group that meets

weekly to elevate the real estate profession. Inspired by the 9-11 tragedy, Ryan also founded Operation Community Cares, a nonprofit organization that sends thousands of care packages each year to deployed service people.

“In 2012, I unexpectedly lost my father and it was a huge reminder as to how precious life and time truly is. As a result, I run my business by design. I live, work, eat, sleep and breath the community we live in,” Ryan says, “and I’m extremely involved in my kids’ lives. After losing my father, the concept of legacy rang through my mind allowing him to live on and how others would view me. I love the quote that people won’t always remember what you did, but they’ll remember how you made them feel. So I make it my goal to do my best in every situation, and hope that others can say this about their interactions with me. My mission is to help others succeed, and in turn, I am hoping we can grow our businesses together!”

Ryan says he aims to be a strategic partner for his clients, with a focus on education. “A big part is simply listening to a client and their goals, and then applying the right tools. I keep my finger on the pulse of what tools we have and how to leverage them. Most companies don’t take time to train people on their tools. We do a lot of training webinars, and I lead small groups in our Ontario office 8 to 10 times a year. We also host Meetings with Masters at Red Hill Country Club where we invite attorneys, as well, who are tied to the title and compliance market. I can also take training directly to a real estate office to train agents.”

Wondering where the SB2 fees on recordings goes?

California Department of Housing and Community Development Housing Update

Nearly $25 million awarded in recent days, two cities come into compliance, one city at risk of losing compliance

SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Housing and Community Development has announced that more than $3 million in SB 2 planning grant money and nearly $22 million in Community Development Block Grant money has been awarded recently. In addition, two cities have come into compliance with state Housing Element law and one city is at risk of losing compliance.

SB 2 Planning Grants

Fourteen California cities have received a total of $3.15 million in SB 2 planning grants. (See attached list)

SB 2, the Building Homes and Jobs Act (2017) established a $75 recording fee on certain real estate documents to be used for planning grants in its first year, and for affordable homes in subsequent years. The planning grants can be used for updating local planning documents, updating zoning ordinances, conducting environmental analyses or for local improvements to expedite local planning and permitting.

Community Development Block Grants

Some $21.7 million from the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program has been awarded to 18 of California’s smaller cities and counties. (See attached list.)

The money will be used for a variety of activities, such as providing single- or multi-family home rehabilitation, homeownership assistance, public water improvements, fire stations, senior and children’s services, flood draining improvements and more.

HCD administers the Community Development Block Grant program for those cities with populations under 50,000 and counties with populations under 200,000 in unincorporated areas that do not directly receive funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Holtville, City of Imperial Come Into Housing Element Law Compliance

The cities of Holtville and the City of Imperial have become the eighth and ninth cities to come into compliance with state Housing Element law since Governor Gavin Newsom met with mayors earlier this year to address the housing affordability crisis in California.

Holtville adopted an ordinance to allow for a variety of housing types that address the housing needs for low-income families and special needs populations, including farmworkers. The City of Imperial has committed to addressing the housing needs for lower-income families through increasing densities to provide opportunities to support mixed-use development.

Pico Rivera at Risk of Losing Compliance

HCD continues to hold local jurisdictions accountable for complying with Housing Element law, and today sent a letter notifying the city of Pico Rivera they are in violation of California’s Housing Element Law. The city has failed to zone to accommodate enough units to meet is Regional Housing Needs Allocation targets. Pico Rivera has 30 days to respond to HCD’s findings before HCD will take actions to pull the city’s Housing Element compliance.

In addition, HCD is working with a handful of California jurisdictions that are at risk of falling out of compliance with state housing law, including Housing Element law, the Housing Accountability Act, Density Bonus law, no net loss requirements and potential fair housing issues.
