Landmark Network, a provider of appraisal management services for the forward and reverse mortgage markets, will open a Boston branch office.

The expansion includes the addition of two industry veterans to the Landmark team led by title and closing attorney Burton Kliman.

"Placing a team on the ground in Boston gives the Landmark operation an opportunity to stay well-connected to our existing lender network while growing our client base," said Erik Richard, CEO of Landmark.

Kliman joins Landmark as branch manager where he will oversee business development operations in New England, New York and New Jersey as well as the expansion into untapped markets requiring valuations services. Prior to joining Landmark, Kliman acted as counsel to hundreds of national servicing companies, lending institutions, mortgage lenders and mortgage brokers covering virtually all aspects of real estate lending and servicing.

William Loud joins the Landmark team as senior vice president of sales and marketing. Most recently, Loud was responsible for business development for Boston Title. His prior experience includes numerous sales positions across the lending and finance industry including five years as an account executive for Saxon Mortgage.

"We are thrilled to have Burt and Bill joining our team to head the Boston branch office," said Hunter Gorog, managing director at Landmark. "They both possess an outstanding combination of industry expertise and business acumen, which will serve Landmark and our clients well as we deliver services to help our customers achieve growth."
