I have known and worked with Coulette for well over 30 years now. Having been in the business since 1977, and being recognized as one of the top real estate brokers in the East Bay area, I’ve dealt with every personality and style you can think of when it comes to Title and Escrow companies and their people.
Without a doubt, Coulette is One of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Always on top of things, stays between the emotional lines, and seeks solutions rather than focusing on problems.
I would highly recommend Coulette to the most experienced agents in the business, and especially to the beginners. Surround yourself with great people and your clients rave about your service.

Coulette and her team were absolutely fabulous! Keep me inform at all times. Ahead of the game with preparation regarding upcoming task. Strong communicators! I had the pleasure of meeting the staff while pre-opening escrow and they all greeted me with smiles and professionalism. Looking forward to dropping in on the whole team next week. Jan-ette

Joanne Stellini is our Escrow Officer and she and her co-workers are amazing. Joanne actually takes calls after normal hours and in the case of our last escrow she took calls. We had an agent who we weren't sure was going to put his EMD in and Joanne made sure to keep on top of it. He never did and we immediately went into contact again and it was a 7 day close. There were no glitches and closed perfectly. Joanne is amazing.

Coulette is one of the best escrow officers around. Coulette attention to detail is what makes her stand out from others. All of our clients says she makes it easy for them with all the paperwork that needs to be done when selling or buying a house. I have to give Jackie her assistant a shout out. Jackie is great too!!!

I have known Coulette Darbo for many years as she has always been one of the most intelligent, caring, and organized people I’ve ever met in the Title insurance business. She stays on top of things and anytime it looks like I’m not as on top of something as I should be, she gives me a friendly nudge to take care of my end. Her great work causes me to be able to do even better work for myself and more importantly, all of the family, friends, and clients who put their trust in me to handle their real estate business.

During the middle of our transaction, our original escrow officer unexpectedly moved to another office, which naturally caused some anxiety given the complexity of the deal. However, Coulette Darbo stepped in seamlessly and managed everything with professionalism and expertise. It felt as though she had been with us from the very beginning, keeping the process on track without missing a beat. Her attention to detail and ability to handle the file smoothly truly put our minds at ease. We couldn�t have asked for a better experience.

Joanne Stellini was terrific to work with! She handle my seller's transaction with great communication and patience for rudimentary questions from the estate Executor. When my clients are happy, I'm happy. Joanne is my "go-to" escrow officer for any transactions in Hayward and the surrounding cities.

This transaction was extremely challenging. There was a cloud on title. Coulette and her team went above and beyond in assisting with the removal of said cloud. I would highly recommend Coulette Darbo, her team and Chicago Title and for any escrow and title needs.

Mikayla, you are missed already and it's not even your last day yet.
Mikayla is absolutely the best, very personable, and made her visits bringing us goodies always enjoyable. I never not once saw her without a smile on her face.
Whoever takes over her position definitely has some big shoes to fill.
Thank you Mikayla for EVERYTHING.
