Top 40 awards reveal wealth of energy, innovation, compassion Joshua Cahill was undaunted by the maxim that title companies don’t market to consumers. After all, it is also a maxim that some people look at the way things are and ask, “Why?” and others look at the way things could be and ask, “Why not?” When Cahill decided to launch FreeTitleQuote.com, a network of title companies who can offer their rates directly to consumers, he had clearly graduated to asking the “why not” question. At 22, Cahill is the youngest winner of the October Research Corp.’s Top 40 Under 40 award, and a standout among the settlement services industry’s rising young stars. “Josh is the quintessential young entrepreneur,” said nominator Edward Conrad, with Dye, Deitrich, Prather, Petruff & St. Paul, P.L. “He has an admirable drive for success and an extraordinary knowledge of the real estate and title insurance industries. I’ve been able to witness him build an expansively successful company in Florida, but he’s already expanding outside the state. 
This tenacity, with sound corporate forethought, deserves the attention of his peers.” It was just that kind of energy and creativity that October Research was looking for when it sent out a bid for nominations for its newly launched awards program for outstanding settlement services professionals under the age of 40 this past December. “We were just awed by the talent, imagination and drive across the spectrum of professions, and from every part of the country, as the nominations poured in,” said Syndie Eardly, October Research editorial director, in making the announcement. “It was a challenge to select our final 40, and we look forward to launching this again in December for 2008. Judging by the nominations that came in, we know that we have just scratched the surface of the truly wonderful talent that exists in the settlement services industry across the country.” The nominations truly represented every corner of the nation. Janelle Keller, a 23-year-old title officer/examiner, started working for Alaska-based Alyeska Title Guaranty Agency Inc. when she was 18 and just last year helped open a branch office for the company. “Janelle learned every job possible in the title department,” said nominator Beth Knight, title manager for Alyeska. “I have been in the field for 25 years and only have seen one other such talented title officer so young. She can handle any complex commercial order, section land order and is our highest producer in title. She is one of the foundations of customer service and success that this company rose from.” The awards program was conducted through October Research’s print and online news services for the settlement services industry including The Title Report, The Legal Description, Valuation Review and Real Estate Technology News.
