Diverse Mortgage Services (DMS), offering title and closing services to lenders and one of the nation’s first Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) mortgage services providers, has been launched by Chuck Sanders, entrepreneur and former running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With a deep background in third-party real estate transaction services, Diverse Mortgage Services (DMS) has an exclusive licensing agreement with minority investor ServiceLink to leverage its best-in-class, bank-level secured, industry leading mortgage services platform, EXOS.
Through this, DMS has already become an emerging leader in providing title and closing services that help Tier 1 suppliers achieve diversity spend goals while exceeding client performance expectations.
Finding that there were no Black-owned title companies with nationwide coverage, Sanders started DMS on a mission to bring diverse representation to the space and to challenge the industry landscape.
“We’re in the business of solutions,” Sanders says in a release. “There is a great need for diversity in third-party mortgage services and Diverse Mortgage Services is a challenger in the market, providing lenders with a nationwide, Tier 1 provider that is committed to driving the industry forward, along with helping to guide and support the next generation of diverse leaders.”
“We are the solution for lenders who are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion,” Sanders says. “We reflect the communities we serve, and we are creating a seat at the table for more minority-owned businesses to enter the space. We are spreading the message far and wide that different perspectives are needed in mortgage services and we’re here to create that platform.”
Sanders is partnering with his son, CJ, a 2020 Bucknell University graduate with a degree in finance, who serves as DMS’s senior vice president of operations and diversity.
