In my capacity as Escrow Specialist, I am responsible for the initial research processed on a property within seven counties when opening a new order.

I have created several new procedures that have been adopted throughout the office at the request of external customers and have received extensive training on various programs within the industry.

For a year, I worked both positions, facing challenges in both but meeting them with a high success rate.
