I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience working with Irene Lehman and her incredible team at Chicago Title Company. As a real estate broker, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Irene on numerous real estate sales escrows, and I am constantly impressed by her unwavering dedication and unmatched professionalism.

One of Irene's most commendable qualities is her outstanding communication skills. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all parties involved in the transaction are well-informed and on the same page. Whether it's providing timely updates or addressing any concerns, Irene consistently keeps everyone involved in the loop, fostering a sense of transparency and trust throughout the process.

Irene truly shines when it comes to navigating high-pressure and high-stress situations. In instances where other parties involved in the transaction have fallen short or failed to meet their obligations, Irene steps in to bridge the gaps and bring everything together. Her ability to remain calm and composed amidst chaos is truly remarkable. She takes charge and handles the challenges with poise, ensuring that the transactions proceed smoothly, even in the most challenging circumstances.

I would be remiss not to mention Kotten Houck, Irene's dedicated assistant, who also deserves recognition for their exceptional support. Together, Irene and Kotten make an unbeatable team, consistently going the extra mile to ensure a seamless and successful escrow process. Their combined efforts and attention to detail leave no stone unturned, guaranteeing that clients can rest assured their transactions are in capable hands.

Based on my firsthand experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Irene Lehman, Kotten Houck, and Chicago Title Company for all your escrow needs. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched. If you're seeking a stress-free and successful real estate transaction, look no further than this incredible team.

We have used Irene Lehman every chance we can. We started using her on our very first transaction. Then the office had their people they liked and wanted us to use so we tried them, but still gave Irene some business. Then about 12 years ago we determined she was the best, fast and thorough on every transaction. So when she changed offices we gladly followed her. She is always our first referral.

Escrow was handled professionally and without incident. Communication was timely and responsive. The property was deeded directly into the buyers' trust without any issues and I suppose that is a little bit of an extra detail that was handled well.

Chicago Title always pulls through! Brad Fischer drove all the way to Kingsburg at the height of traffic time to have sellers re-sign escrow documents because FedEx didn't deliver the package on time. Escrow needed escrow docs to fund and close on time. As busy as they are, they never hesitate to make our transaction any less important as the others. Thank you Irene Lehman, Miriam Salas and Brad Fischer!!
