Gregory Fortino, COO at Metropolis, a building code and zoning consulting firm, benefited from the support of fellow member Brian Tormey, president of title insurance company TitleVest, in connecting with Compass Brokerage. The goal was to create a synergistic team for TitleVest’s new venture and partnership with Compass under the initiative Verge. This connection was particularly important to Metropolis, as it provides a platform to offer compliance services, code and zoning guidance, and filing services across the entire Compass organization.
The Results
Brian initiated the connection with a phone call and followed with introductions to the Compass team. Subsequent meetings and requests led to the start of multiple projects. Within one to three months of Brian’s introduction, Metropolis began reaping tangible rewards, starting with an initial proposal of $5,000 and establishing a foundation for future work. The connection continues to generate new opportunities and strengthen relationships with Compass.
Brian and TitleVest’s industry reputation, combined with the Verge partnership, positioned Metropolis as the go-to firm for compliance, expediting, and code consulting. The collaboration demonstrates how trusted connections and shared expertise can create meaningful, ongoing business opportunities.
