We have an exciting announcement for our commercial real estate customers. Mollie Rostad has joined the KBT team in our downtown Madison office as a Commercial Closing Officer.
Mollie Rostad - Commercial Closing Officer
Before joining KBT, Mollie spent over seven years at the prestigious law firm Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren, where she worked as a paralegal. Here, she developed an expertise in working on low-income housing tax credit affordable housing developments. It’s the complexity and greater good for the community that draws her specifically to these projects. One of her favorite parts of the job is watching how new developments she has worked on end up shaping the community.
In addition to her professional experience, Mollie is familiar with title insurance. Her father, Tom Rostad, co-owned Dane County Title Company right here in Madison. While working for a title company is a small way to honor her father, Mollie says she’s excited to use her experience and expertise to tackle real estate transactions from another angle as part of the KBT team.
“My dad was a real estate attorney who owned a title company locally, so I guess you could say real estate was always in my blood,” Mollie says. “When I started to shift careers to the legal field (I graduated with a science degree from the University of Michigan), I found that transactional law, specifically real estate, was what I enjoyed most.”
As an area native, Mollie is thrilled to continue to help her hometown thrive. If you or your clients are new to the Madison area, Mollie would love to share some of her knowledge about our wonderful city, too.
“I love Madison - to me, it’s not too big, but not too small, either. I love all the outdoor activities available, such as hiking, kayaking, and biking,” she says. “I also love living in a university town where academics are highly valued. When I went to the University of Michigan as an undergrad, I missed being around the water the most. I missed the lakes.”
Mollie has already made a name for herself at KBT and shares a strong connection with Michele Schmid, our Chief Commercial Officer. In fact, Michele's leadership is one of the main reasons Mollie is thrilled to begin her next chapter with KBT.
“I know Michele well and have always appreciated the kind of work she does. My favorite part of the deal was always the closing,” Mollie says. “So, I figured a shift to becoming a commercial closer would be the way to go!”
Mollie and the rest of our commercial team are eager to work with you. To learn more about how our commercial division can help you in Wisconsin and beyond, contact
