President and CEO Carlos Reyes of Smart Settlements started in the title business in 2006, with his company R&R title. After seeing a need for a change in the business, and the push to become more tech-focused, Smart Settlements LLC became the rebranded product of R&R in 2010. By 2014, the company was implementing digital advances including Green Folders, digital EMD deposits, and virtual closings. The platform offers a group of experienced closing specialists who work hard to streamline the closing process for clients. Smart is #morethantitle because they do not just close, they also open doors. The team provides real estate lending options to anyone looking to expand or grow their portfolio. From flip & fix loans, to construction, or a general short-term real estate loan, Smart lending can help you close in as little as three days.Smart Settlements is still spearheaded by Carlos Reyes today, who began his real estate career over 20 years ago. Today, Carlos is proud to have helped over 20,000 individuals and families achieve their dreams in real estate across Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland areas. He saw and took action on the need for a more diverse platform in title to add value to real estate agents and started smart consulting, which identifies bottlenecks and uses technology and processes to help agents scale. Working alongside Carlos Reyes to build R&R Title was Hilary Reyes, who then followed to Smart Settlements. She developed Smart’s marketing strategy, focusing on their rebrand and presence on social media. In 2018, partner Evelyn Miller joined the team, working as the head of the acquisitions department, along with Rona Jobe, who focuses on their corporate strategy implementing technologies to help scale SMART, and Thomas Randolph, who oversees all operations of the company as well as the client relations division. Carlos and his team at Smart are firm believers that you cannot win alone. With this mindset, they have sponsored many charities, including Jill’s House and Chance for Life. Currently, Smart Settlements can close residential and commercial settlements in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C, and are now expanding their footprint to Florida. Smart Settlements is known for its ability to uniquely combine experienced closing specialists with advanced web-based technology. Their unparalleled customer service makes them the premier settlement company in the metropolitan area. With offices equipped with the most recent technological software in the industry, Smart’s stand-out qualities are designed to provide their customers exceptional service.
