MBL Title is thrilled to announce the hiring of Lee Small as Vice President of Business Development.In this role, Lee is responsible for developing and cultivating national clients and business opportunities in the commercial real estate field, as well as maintaining and enhancing relationships with existing clients and referral sources.

Since 2015, the company has closed more than $3.5 billion in transactions including individual transactions with insured values approaching $200 million.

“We are so fortunate to join forces with Lee,” said Matthew Lopez, MBL Title CEO. “He has already made a noticeable splash in our industry with his spirited, methodical approach to business development— and he has amassed impressive support from real estate titans in what is an amazingly short period of time, by any standard.”

Lee joins MBL Title after serving as director of Business Development for Thomas Title & Escrow where he was responsible for generating more than $400 million in transactions. Prior to that, he served in a leadership position at Wildcat Oil Tools in Midland, where he grew the company from two locations to five, and as a TV sports anchor in Midland and Waco for five years.

Lee earned his undergraduate degree in sports media from Ithaca college and his MBA from Pepperdine University, graduating magna cum laude and as a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies. He was the recipient of an Elkins Award Scholarship for his academic accomplishments and completed a study abroad at Beijing Sport University during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

Lee is heavily involved with The Real Estate Council (TREC) where he is the Young Guns Public Policy Chair as well as Urban Land Institute and NAIOP. Outside of work he gives back through Big Brothers Big Sisters, Friends of Teach for America and Make-A-Wish. Lee was also a member of the TLTA Leadership Academy in 2018.

As VP, Lee will provide detailed answers and solutions to complex commercial title and closing questions; assist with client underwriting on title, escrow and closing costs; and facilitate presentations with clients and organizations to help them better understand the national title landscape.

“I’m proud to be part of a team that is truly making a mark in the title industry,” said Small. “MBL Title is leading the way in innovation, and making the big guys look over their shoulders. This is an exciting day and I can’t wait to help MBL Title achieve even bigger and better things in the very near future.”
