Matt Martin Real Estate Rebrands to Chronos Solutions The company is rebranding and expanding iTs offerings in order To encompass iTs broad naTional reach. M att Martin Real Estate Manage- ment, a national real estate finance services provider, recently an- nounced it changed its name to Chronos Solutions and expanded its brand and service offerings. This update signals the firm's intentions to make its wide array of real estate finance services known to its national market, which will lead to another period of growth. Matt Martin, co-founder and CEO of Chronos Solutions noted the rebranding decision was "a very natural progression for the company." "We felt that MMREM no longer conveyed the true breadth of our firm's capabilities," he said. "We were known for some of our services; however, much of the market was unaware that the firm is much larger and diverse in its offering," he said. "We have grown exponentially since we entered the market, and we will continue to do so. We're a much larger brand than when we started. Chronos Solutions is a much better represen- tation of our national reach and comprehen- sive offerings, and will position us to extend our client base across the board. Chronos Solutions is a technology-enabled real estate finance services provider offering comprehensive solutions for mortgage lenders, federal agencies, GSEs, mortgage servicers, real estate portfolio investors, and more. The company offers a comprehensive array of services and solutions, including advisory and consulting, title and settlement services, valuation, acquisitions, Home Owners Association solutions, REO management and disposition, auction services, and accelerated marketing and field services. Headquartered in Frisco, Texas, the company has a national geographic footprint, and has an established client base which includes federal agencies, top national lenders and banks; leading mortgage servicing companies, and more. "Our clients tell us that we offer the same breadth and depth of services that any of the other national service providers do," said Jo Ann Kruse, COO for Chronos Solutions. "However, they marvel at our ability to manage high volume projects with the same service levels offered by the best boutique firms. As Chronos Solutions, we want the mortgage and real estate industry to know us for our capacity, our capabilities, our creativity, and our flexibility."
