This was a complex transaction involving a buyer in Beijing. We had to be fast, connected, global. Angela and Melissa of Chicago Title in Cupertino were all these things and so much more. Wherever I'm doing a transaction in the Bay Area I'm gonna push for escrow to be held with CTT. Thank you guys so much for making this work as well as it did!
are very professional and helpful. Our lender experienced a little rush in the last minutes and my client were worried about not being closed timely. But, Melissa and Angela are very responsive and try their best to help us. I do appreciate their professionalism, can-do attitude and patience.
