SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Oct. 14, 2022 – The reimagined and redesigned website of D. Bello, the leading remote workforce solution partner in the real estate land title space, has been recognized as one of the industry’s best by the American Land Title Association (ALTA).

D.Bello’s leadership team accepted the award in San Diego on Oct. 14 at the annual Title Webbie ceremony during the association’s largest annual gathering, ALTA ONE. The award recognizes www.dbello.com as one of the top websites across the land title industry for providing detailed information in clear concise language while underscoring company values. As a member of both ALTA and the California Land Title Association, D. Bello takes pride in being recognized among the best in the industry for providing an exceptional digital experience. 

“Our goal is to provide fully customized, tailored solutions to our clients, and we wanted to capture that in both the design and content of our site,” shared D. Bello CEO Jeffrey Bates. “There’s nothing generic about our services. We are all about custom solutions and our digital presence reflects that and perfectly showcases our personality and culture while giving our clients easy access to the information and resources they need to move forward.”

The 2022 ALTA Webbie Awards were given to ALTA members who have launched a new website, social media marketing campaign, blog or other types of digital media with the intent of educating consumers on the benefits of title insurance. Websites were judged on features such as mobile friendliness, overall user experience, social media integration, image and video use, and content quality.

As part of an overall rebrand in 2021, D. Bello created an updated look that matched the company’s positioning of its Title Production Workforce™ as a modern-day necessity. The company partnered with marketing firm, Bowe Digital, to create a site that incorporates a unique mixture of video, motion graphics, and text to educate consumers on the benefits of working with a fully customized title production process solution partner. 

"When we looked at redesigning our website to match our new branding and messaging, we wanted it to stand out. D. Bello prides itself on providing the highest quality, customized title production services for our clients and we love that our website reflects that,” added COO Andrew Acker. “It’s the result of a lot of hard work and collaborative effort with our marketing partner, Bowe Digital. This award truly affirms our mission heading into this and we couldn’t be more excited."

“We’re grateful to join in the positive change that the title industry is bringing about in cities and neighborhoods across the country,” said D. Bello CEO Jeffrey Bates. “D.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Nov. 30, 2021 – D. Bello, a leading remote workforce solution partner in the real estate title space, is capping off a successful 2021 with a new accreditation relating to digital security and data protection. 

The Southern California company announced today that its main production facility recently gained certification in compliance with the requirements set forth by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The specific standard, ISO 27001:2013, met by the company stipulates that it has the proper procedures in place to manage data security through its Information Security Management System (ISMS). 

“We have always been committed to the security of our systems and operations. Our clients continue to be confronted by a mix of industry and regulatory requirements, and we want to ease our clients’ path to compliance,” said D. Bello CEO Jeffrey Bates. “The matter of data security is never absolute, but taking available strides toward advancing security is a must in today’s technological climate." 

To receive this recognition, the company underwent a rigorous third-party assessment of its production facility where hundreds of Title Production WorkforceTM staff perform services on a daily basis. The audit was completed by QRC, accredited by the International Accreditation Service, and included an evaluation of its business process outsourcing services, along with support functions of human resources, administration, information technology, accounting and data control. 

With this independent review, company COO Andrew Acker says clients can be confident that D. Bello is doing everything it can when it comes to managing its collective information security risks. 

“Obtaining this certification provides our clients with a wide array of additional protections including data security, risk management and business continuity,” he said. “I am incredibly proud of the numerous individuals within our organization who went above and beyond this past year to deliver on our goal." 

D. Bello has experienced impressive growth over the last couple of years as more and more title companies embrace technology and innovative solutions when it comes to responding to increased workloads and staffing issues. In fact, it ranked as a top growing small business in California by Inc Magazine’s Inc5000 Regionals earlier this year.

It's true. We've found a new place to call home. It's just as amazing with ever better weather and a $5 Uber ride to one of Southern California's best airports (hint, it's not LAX). As a company that travels as much as we do, anyplace we can open up a laptop and type typically serves as a functional workspace.

However, there's a lot of important work that goes on in our home office [aside from games on the dart board and office puzzles]. As our CEO Jeffrey Bates said in the Title News Press Release, "our new office location will allow us to expand our capabilities in key areas and continue to attract top talent. Newport Beach’s close proximity to John Wayne Airport also facilitates more efficient and effective travel and interaction with our clients nationwide. Service is a core value in our business and this move strategically allows us to build on that. Our team is excited about the growth we are experiencing and no one seems to mind the local climate either."

We hope you'll stop by and say hi. Our fridge is stocked full, the Nespresso machine is always on, and our golf clubs are within 100 feet.

The move was completed August 1, but if you have any questions on the relocation or are curious about Orange County trivia, be sure to email us from our contact page.
