The mindset of dedication is a powerful thing … the decision to hold nothing back when it comes to serving your clients. It’s the same kind of mindset that Regional Director Ryan King and his team at Eastern Title carry into all their interactions with their REALTOR® partners and clients.
With a strong background in the military, a love for helping others, and an unwavering commitment to delivering value, Ryan’s leadership has made Eastern Title a trusted partner for real estate professionals across the country.
From Military Service to the Real Estate Industry
Ryan’s journey to the title industry was not a traditional one. After serving in the U.S. Air Force and being stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, Ryan transitioned into civilian life in 1997. “I got out of the military in 1997, and after I left Langley, I moved to the Washington, D.C. metro area,” he explains. “I worked at Countrywide Mortgage, but after some time, I felt the need to make a change and went to work for Josh, who ran a mortgage brokerage at the time. My wife and I eventually moved to the Hampton Roads area of Viriginia for my wife’s job. In 2016, we moved to Oklahoma, and I saw the immense amount of construction happening in Oklahoma. That’s when the idea of opening a new office came about.”
In a conversation with Josh Greene, the owner of Eastern Title, Ryan shared his observations about the booming construction market in Oklahoma and the potential for expansion. Josh saw the opportunity, and together, they made the decision to open a new office in the state. Ryan’s vision and leadership, combined with Eastern Title’s commitment to service, allowed the company to expand its footprint in a way that would ultimately bring lasting value to clients across several states.
A Service-Oriented Mindset
For Ryan, the key to his success is his strong service-oriented mindset. It’s a trait that has guided him both in his military career and in his current role at Eastern Title. “I’m a helper at heart,” Ryan says with a smile. “I’ve always been service-oriented. If I see someone with a flat tire on the side of the road, I’ll stop and help them. That’s just who I am.”
This instinct to help others translates seamlessly into his work with Eastern Title. As Regional Director, Ryan’s focus is on creating relationships with clients, real estate agents, and partners. “I’m here to build relationships,” he explains. “I’d rather show people the value I can bring and build trust with them. Once that’s established, everything else falls into place. Helping people is my priority.”
Eastern Title’s ability to thrive comes from its commitment to meeting the needs of clients, no matter where they are. “When we got started, what enabled us to grow is that we were willing to close anytime, anywhere,” Ryan recalls. “Literally, we will do that. We cater to our real estate partners and their clients by being flexible and accommodating. Whatever is most comfortable for them is what we aim to do. Our approach is all about making the process as easy and seamless as possible.”
Expanding the Reach of Eastern Title
Eastern Title’s expansion has been nothing short of impressive. The company now operates physical offices in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Florida, and Oklahoma, and it is licensed in many other states.
The company has earned a reputation for being consumer-oriented and focused on delivering real value through its services. Ryan emphasizes that Eastern Title’s growth is a direct result of its commitment to providing top-tier customer service. “We are a consumer-oriented company,” Ryan says. “We believe in delivering real value with our service, and our clients recognize that. They know they can count on us.”
Whether a client is buying their first home or refinancing an existing property, Ryan and the team at Eastern Title ensure the process is smooth and transparent. Their dedication to flexibility, clear communication, and personalized service has set them apart in a highly competitive industry.
A Legacy of Service
Ryan’s commitment to service doesn’t end with his career at Eastern Title. He comes from a family with a long history of military service, dating back to World War I. “I’m a fourth-generation military member,” Ryan shares proudly. “Serving has always been part of my family’s legacy, and it’s something that has shaped my character and my approach to life.”
This deep-rooted sense of duty and service has undoubtedly influenced Ryan’s leadership style at Eastern Title. His commitment to helping others, both in business and in his personal life, continues to drive his work every day. “When people work with me, I want them to know that they can count on me for the long haul,” Ryan says. “I hope they see me as someone who is trustworthy and reliable.”
Balancing Work and Leisure
In addition to his work at Eastern Title, Ryan also finds time to enjoy his hobbies and spend time with his family. He is an avid hunter and has a passion for woodworking. “I love to make custom tables,” he says, explaining how he finds relaxation and satisfaction in crafting his own furniture. “It’s a great way to unwind and be creative in my free time.”
Family is also a top priority for Ryan. He is married and enjoys spending time with his loved ones whenever possible. This balance between work, leisure, and family allows Ryan to maintain a well-rounded lifestyle, giving him the energy and perspective to continue excelling in his professional life.
As Eastern Title continues to expand and grow, Ryan remains focused on what matters most: relationships. He believes that the company’s success will always be tied to its ability to foster trust, offer valuable service, and be adaptable to the needs of clients. “This business is all about showing up every day with a plan, being transparent, and building strong relationships,” Ryan says. “That’s what will keep clients coming back and help us continue to grow.”
