Accurate Group, a leading provider of real estate appraisal, title and compliance services, announced the expansion of its sales team. Matthew Lichtner, a mortgage and settlement services industry veteran has joined the Accurate Group sales team as senior vice president, national account manager, the company announced in a release.
Lichtner, with nearly 30 years of experience, has served in a number of senior level sales positions within the title insurance and information industry. He has extensive knowledge in property data products and services, technology platforms, and business process outsourcing across all segments of the mortgage industry.
“Matt’s focus will be to drive new title and valuation sales, including our industry leading ValueNet suite of products, using his unique relationships within the banking and real estate finance industries,” Accurate Group National Sales Manager Scott Vilseck said in the release. “Matt will concentrate on the west coast, specifically California where there is tremendous growth opportunity for the Accurate Group. He will also market our AMC services to all areas of real estate lending.”
The other team expansions included Richard L. Heltzel III moving from his current position as director of ValueNet, a division of Accurate Group, to join the company’s sales team as vice president, national account manager. Heltzel began his career with the Accurate Group in 2010 and was an integral part of the company’s explosive growth as an appraisal management company.
During that time, he managed Accurate’s Alternative Valuation Division in Cleveland, where he successfully cultivated a nationwide network of inspection companies along with overseeing Accurate’s reseller relationship with ValueNet. When Accurate acquired ValueNet, Rich relocated and assumed the role of director, overseeing Accurate’s GroundWorks inspection business.
“Rich has been extremely successful in his role as director of Accurate’s ValueNet suite of products,” Accurate Group’s ValuNet Division President and Chief Appraiser Scott Waxman said. “Given his prior success within the company, I’m looking forward to watching his continued development as he diversifies and expands within our organization.”
“I’ve asked Rich to lead Accurate in winning new title and valuation revenue in the northeast region as well as specific target accounts across the United States,” Vilseck said. “Based on Rich’s drive and product knowledge, along with his desire to pursue a career in sales I felt this was the perfect opportunity for him to continue to grow within the company. I’m excited to make this announcement – I expect Matt and Rich’s expertise will help further accelerate revenue growth and solidify Accurate Group’s position as a market leader in real estate title, appraisal and valuation products and services.”
