Chief Executive Officer | Cornerstone Land Abstract   

| $15B+ Closed   Closing & Title Insurance Expert  | Transaction Risk Advisor to Attorneys, Developers & Investors  | Author & Podcast Host  |  #StartWithTheCloseInMind

Most title companies close deals. I focus on preventing them from falling apart in the first place. I’ve been involved in $15B+ in closed transactions, and I still approach every deal like it matters - because it does.

As Chief Executive Officer of Cornerstone Land Abstract, I lead a New York, based title and closing firm built for real estate professionals who demand precision, proactive communication, and real execution at the closing table. I work closely with real estate attorneys, developers, owners, and investors to identify and eliminate transaction risk early - before it shows up as a surprise during underwriting, financing, or closing. From pre-contract strategy through post-closing protection, our role is to remove friction, surface reality early, and protect the integrity of the deal.

I’m the creator of The Cornerstone Report, a title risk intelligence tool used by top dealmakers, and the host of Start with the Close in Mind, a podcast focused on closing strategy, operator judgment, and why deals actually succeed or fall apart.

Beyond title and closings, I’m an active real estate investor and capital advisor, and the founder of Real Estate Warriors - a community of professionals committed to discipline, accountability, and execution in both business and life.

If you’re done chasing vendors and want a closing partner who understands how real deals get done, let’s connect.

Come see what Dorian all about

I help real estate attorneys, developers, and investors close with confidence by eliminating risk before it ever reaches the closing table.


At Cornerstone Land Abstract, we don’t just process files  we pressure-test the deal. We surface title defects, structure issues, lien complications, and timing risks early, when they’re still manageable  not when they’re explosive.


Our approach is proactive, high-touch, and execution-focused. That means real communication, tight coordination with lenders and counsel, and disciplined follow-through from contract to funding. We don’t wait for problems to appear we anticipate them. Because smooth closings aren’t luck. They’re engineered.


As host of Start With the Close in Mind, I break down what actually drives successful outcomes in real estate  strategic planning, risk mitigation, leadership under pressure, and the discipline to see the deal through. The best operators don’t just chase volume; they protect velocity and certainty.


If you want a closing partner who shows up early, communicates clearly, and treats your transaction like it’s their own capital on the line, let’s connect.

I had an excellent experience working with Cornerstone Land Abstract, particularly with Dorian’s team—Rebecca Ortiz and Bianca Tong. Rebecca was incredibly responsive and helped me resolve an old mortgage issue, making the process smooth and stress-free. Bianca was very efficient and instrumental in helping me get to closing quickly. I highly recommend their team for anyone needing reliable and professional title services.

I’ve known Cornerstone Land Abstract, especially Dorian, for years. Despite not being a vendor or client, they’ve consistently treated me with genuine warmth and professionalism.


Their care sets them apart in the industry, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a title company that truly values people.
