For Donna Dixon: Donna—Thank you for being an awesome escrow officer. Without your ability to hang on, these hair-raising escrows would have been difficult to get done. Thank you for the follow-up on the trustee sale dates when there is a change on title. Thank you for making the real estate transaction easy again.

For Donna Dixon: Donna Dixon more than met 100% expectations. She made me feel as though I was family and had known her for years. She is very organized, efficient, smart, funny and very professional. She was always on top of the important information. I was thankful she made it all so easy. Thank you!

For Danielle Ojeda: Danielle, you have a wonderful team! Caprina was very pleasant and very accommodating. Also, when I received the escrow instructions, I appreciated the way it was completely and wonderfully packaged (highlights and clearly separated). I came from escrow and I know how much work goes into packaging. Again, thank you and I love working with you!
- May Graza, Transaction Coordinator
For Julie Parker: I want to express my sincere appreciation and recognize the amazing job that Julie Parker did with a closing today. The escrow company selected by the Seller was unable to get a payoff demand after many attempts over the last 2 weeks and had given up. I went to Julie for help this morning because I didn’t know where else to turn. To make a long story short, she jumped into the middle of the nightmare and told me she’d do whatever she could to make it happen for our clients. Through perseverance and a few key industry contacts, she had all the issues resolved within 2 hours! The other escrow company had been trying to get this done for the last 2 weeks! This wasn’t even her escrow!! She clearly went out of her way to throw us a “life ring” at the 11th hour with a commitment to our success that is far above anyone’s expectations. Julie is truly one of our most valuable assets and we’re very lucky to have her as part of our team. I give her the highest recommendation possible and can assure you she has 100% of my loyalty for all future escrows. Julie unselfishly made things happen when others couldn’t! Most importantly, we have happy first time homeowners moving into their new home tomorrow.
