About Larry Thompson

Transforming Real Estate Transactions Through Innovation | 25+ Years Building Integrated SolutionsMy journey began in with a simple observation: clients shouldn\'t juggle multiple companies to complete a real estate transaction. That insight has guided every venture since.Building the FoundationAfter ranking #13 nationally as a rookie loan originator in 2003, I transformed my original brokerage into Venture Realty, LLC, creating one of the first truly integrated real estate service models. As Branch Manager of 1st Metropolitan Mortgage, I established partnerships that allowed us to serve clients from listing through closing.In 2015, I opened a branch with American Financial Network INC, maintaining top-producing Branch Manager status for nearly a decade. With 23 years in mortgage lending, I\'ve seen how fragmented processes create unnecessary friction.In 2018, I moved Venture Realty under eXp Realty, leveraging their national network while maintaining our comprehensive service approach.Innovating the IndustryThat same year, my wife Kim and I founded Affiliated Title Ventures, LLC, recognizing critical inefficiencies in title insurance. But we needed a better market connection.Enter Schedule Ventures INC and ScheduleClosings.comThe Schedule Closings RevolutionWe\'re building the \"Zillow of closing services\"—a nationwide platform where users find, research, schedule, and book attorneys and title companies without a phone call.What makes us different? We\'ve reversed the traditional sales model. Instead of title companies begging attorneys for business, our platform empowers attorneys to market themselves while automatically routing title insurance orders to our licensed partners.After our 2023 launch revealed critical gaps, we rebuilt from the ground up. Our enhanced platform launches December 2025 with live calendar integration, transparent fee comparison, automated documents, e-signatures, and unified pipeline management.The Bigger PictureSchedule Closings is just the beginning. With domains like ScheduleInspections.com and ScheduleSurveys.com secured, we\'re creating a comprehensive ecosystem for all real estate services.Our goal? transactions annually, making Schedule Closings a household name Core ValuesAs a Christian organization, we put clients first—business success follows integrity.
