I bring a unique, three-part expertise to complex real estate title matters, making me an invaluable resource for clients across the industry. With over a decade of dedicated experience, my career is built on a comprehensive understanding of transactions from start to finish.
My Background is Your Advantage:
Legal Foundation: For five years, I served as a Real Estate Paralegal at a local law firm, gaining deep proficiency in property law, detailed deed analysis, lien identification, and preparing the critical documentation necessary for clean closings.
Financial Insight: I leveraged valuable time in the Closing Department at Trustco Bank, giving me an insider's perspective on closing requirements and the financial side of clear title conveyance.
Search Mastery: For the last three years, I have specialized as a Real Estate Title Searcher, meticulously tracing the most challenging property chains of title.
Solving Complex Title Situations
My core value is resolving the title issues others cannot. I specialize in those particularly time-consuming, difficult situations that require an expert touch. Unlike services reliant solely on digital records, I provide the essential, on-the-ground support required for resolution:
Physical County Presence: I maintain a consistent, reliable physical presence in the county building. This allows me to personally research, interpret, and resolve gaps in records that are inaccessible via standard electronic means.
Client Support: I serve as a critical extension for attorneys, paralegals, title agencies, and title search companies needing specialized help to ensure their transactions close smoothly.
The result is a faster resolution of title defects and greater certainty for every real estate transaction.
