Services · The Practice

Three escrow desks. One standard.

Residential, Commercial, and 1031/Business escrow. Different deals, different documents, different watch-outs. Same officer-owned model on every file. Open the desk that fits your transaction, or open an escrow and we will route you ourselves.

§ 01 · The Desks

Pick the desk that fits the file.

i
Residential

Homes, estates, second homes.

From a first-time purchase to a generational estate, plus mobile homes, ranchettes, and the small-ag overlays that follow lifestyle parcels in the 805. One officer, open to close.

§ 02 · Standard

What is the same on every desk.

Three escrow desks, three different file rooms. One way of running them. The officer who opens your file is the officer who closes it. Same-day file open. Verified disbursement. No queue, no handoff, no surprise the week of recording.

i
Single-officer accountability

One name on the file from open to close.

No reassignment, no triage queue, no anonymous email alias. The officer who picks up the phone the day you open the file is the officer who sits across from you at the signing table.

  • Direct line to the officer
  • Assistant supports, doesn't replace
  • Same person handles signing and disbursement
  • One thread, one inbox, one signature block
ii
Same-day, written

A file number and a timeline back the same business day.

Send the address, the parties, the price. Inside the day, you get a file number, an officer's name, and a written timeline that says when funds, signing, and recording will happen.

  • Same-day file open, every desk
  • Written timelines, not verbal estimates
  • Wire instructions verified by callback
  • Identity verified before any signature
Open an escrow

Not sure which desk? Send the deal.

Open an escrow → For agents →

Send the contract, an LOI, or a sentence describing the deal. We will route to the right officer and confirm the same business day.
