| President and CEO: Jason C. Sheppard |
Jason fell into the Title Insurance Industry after removing himself from Financial Sales. A NASD Series 7 licensed broker
and Series 6 Registered Representative at the age of 19, Jason looked to change his career at the end of 2000 and
immediately fell in love with title insurance and settlement services, as he enjoyed finalizing the American Dream for
people young and old in America. Starting in ground level positions with two of the largest and most respected Vendor
Management firms, Jason quickly moved on into higher levels of operations management and soon to business
development management. After developing his skills in both areas, Jason felt that he and the clients that insisted on
following him, would be better served if he was to develop his own company. TruClose Financial Services LLC is run
with the same technology and efficiency as large firms however, has a more personable feel and offers one on one
relationships and complete customization of service levels for it's clients. As each clients' needs are different, Jason
feels that anything less than complete customization based on the clients' needs is non-sufficient service. To Jason,
customer service is key and he strives to always go above and beyond for everyone.
