Since 1990, Matthew S. Kayton has been operating companies involved in insurance and other related real estate businesses, including land surveying, foreclosure auction and property preservation and maintenance. Mr. Kayton demonstrates deep corporate experience in business strategy and development, joint venture establishment, financial and operations planning, sales and marketing, regulatory compliance, IT, finance and accounting.

Mr. Kayton started his career at First Financial, a division of First Southwestern Title, one of the largest independently owned group of title agencies in the country. In 1992, he became President, increasing annual sales by over 200% in a three year period. In 1995, Mr. Kayton took over as CEO for the parent company, establishing its presence in ten states. As a result of his leadership in reorganizing the company and establishing strong banking, lender and realtor strategic relationships, the company doubled its annual sales.
