I began my career in the title plant, working for 10 years as a Title Officer and Examiner prior to becoming an Escrow Officer. I have managed several branches over the years and worked in Escrow Operations.
I believe that education and keeping up to date on changes in the industry are very important. I received my professional designation as a Senior Certified Escrow Officer in 2002 and I am currently a member of both the East Bay Escrow Association and the State Escrow Association.
I am knowledgeable in resale, residential, exchanges, seller carry backs, wraps, refinances, short sales and REO's. I take pride in my work, providing exceptional service to all of my customers and look forward to working with you in the near future.
In my spare time I enjoy spending family time with my two daughters, and two dogs.
I started in the business as an assistant in Hayward in 1976 and by 1977 became an Escrow Officer. From 1983-1988 I worked for Chicago Title in our downtown commercial center. In 1988 I moved to Montclair as a Branch Manager with another title company. In March 2005 I transitioned back to Chicago Title as an Escrow Officer.
I am known in the industry for being patient, reliable and serving my clients with compassionate care. I have expertise in the areas of Resale, Refinance, Exchanges, REO's and Short sales.
I enjoy spending my free time with my granddaughter, roaming flea markets and collecting antiques. I also like spending time with my Yorkie, Buddy Bauer.
I was raised as a military child in Junction City, Kansas and grew up in Hephzibah, Georgia.
I started my escrow career in 1990 as an escrow assistant in Montclair, and became an Escrow Officer in 1999. I am proficient in handling Resale, Refinance, REO and For Sale By Owner transactions. One of my many strengths is being able to close some of the most complicated deals from wrap around Deeds of Trust, to Assignment transactions. I am known for my ability to quickly resolve issues that arise in any transaction. I have a long time clientele base of residential Realtors and individual developers, and all of my clients experience a genuine southern hospitality when they use me.
I have 2 boys who keep my weekends busy with wrestling tournaments and football games. I enjoy going to Raider games with my husband, snowboarding with the family and relaxing at our family home in Clear Lake.
