I have had the true honor and pleasure of working with Dorine for the better part of 25 + years on dozens and dozens (if not hundreds) of commercial closing transactions. I can honestly say Dorine is THE best commercial escrow agent we have ever worked with. Not only in the Portland/Vancouver area but even compared to those in other markets around the country. Dorine has the perfect balance of professionalism and personal connection to always look out for her client's best interest while being communicative and timely; even during a tense and difficult transaction. Without a doubt, Dorine is our favorite!

Dorine is doing every thing in her power to get loan to My X-wife funded so I can be bought out of our house. With other things hanging in limbo her efforts could very well save me a couple thousand dollars on my end. She has put the same effort in that I have and ones involved on the other side did not. She is very much appreciated whether we fund on time or not. Dorine did all she could; and that effort is impressive.

There is no one around that gets it done like Dorine Skordahl! She possesses not only an abundance of skill and patience, but the ability to manage through chaos, working with all parties involved, keeping deadlines on track and always has time to take your call or respond to the small requests. Her wealth of knowledge and "outside the box" thinking, truly sets her apart from her competition! She is simply amazing! Hands down the best in town!

While we work with Chicago Title in our area, we've had two transactions involving commercial real estate, combined with on-going businesses, in her geographic area. Dorine has been exemplary is assisting both Buyer's and Sellers as an invaluable resource in the process of working toward closing. Having worked with many commercial escrow/title companies and their representatives over the years, I unconditionally recommend Dorine! One of the best in the business!

I am so happy to have Dorine Skordahl as my favorite escrow officer. There is no task that she has shied away from as I have her handle as many of my transactions as I can. She is always there to get a power of attorney, or travel to an out of office facility to assist the elderly, or arrange for a remote signing, or any number of critical tasks to get the job done. She is so even tempered and approachable that all of my clients have been so pleased with her services. And add to that a super escrow assistant, Kimberly Granning and the power of Chicago Title and it is a win- win for all. Thanks for all you do. You are the best!

What a pro! Jumps in when other have dropped the ball. Cant say enough good about the job she had done in a transaction where the agents are MIA along with a poor transaction co-ordinator, possibly the worst I have ever seen in 25 years. Dorine is a winner.

Great Job and Thank You for picking up the pieces!

I have had the good fortune to have established a connected relationship for almost 2 decades with Dorine, who I consider to be the best escrow officer I know. She goes the extra mile to deliver service to me and my clients that is nonpareil. It is the little things and small touches that finish off the "painting' and she always is able to paint a great closing transaction. She appears so professional and poised and add fearless to that and the whole package is outstanding. I know that in the whirlwind atmosphere we call the real estate industry, the steady hand and communication she offers can sometimes be the only solid rock out there. I know my clients and I and my company are in good hands when she is at the helm. Thanks so much for the opportunity to write an endorsement and champion a champion.

Dorine is a closer par excellence. She is very professional in all aspects of handling a closing: from responsive communications with all parties concerned to on-time completion of milestones in a closing process. She is great to work with on all our closings. If we didn't have another preferred closer in Elizabeth Aldrich at Chicago in Lacey, we would have Dorine as our preferred closer.

Ms. Skordahl is very knowledgeable, effective, professional and is able to clearly explain all matters related to closing. It is a pleasure to work with her. She continue to support the transactions and answer question even months after the closing has completed successfully. She has guided us through three commercial and one residential closing.

I would highly recommend Ms. Skordahl

Dorine Skordahl does indeed deserve a round of applause. We just closed a sale and a purchase with Lynn Posselt of Windermere Mortgage that was super until the last week. The depth and breadth of knowledge, drive, stubbornness and dedication to me and my clients is unsurpassed. Dorine never ceases to amaze me. If I could close all my transactions with her I would be one happy REALTOR. The best of the best of the best and my clients love her as well.
Thanks you from the bottom of my heart for just being you.

I have been using Dorine Skordahl at Chicago Title to close for me for about 15 years now. She has closed 100's of transactions for myself and my team in that time. We use her as often as we can.

Dorine is Smart, Efficient, Friendly, Accurate & Great to work with.She returns phone calls and emails quickly. I have seen her work late into the night and come in early in the morning many times to get a job done.

I have worked with many Escrow Officers in the county. Dorine, in my opinion, is the best of the best. She has extensive knowledge in out of the ordinary circumstances that can occur during a closing. I have seen other Escrow people ask her for advice due to her abilities and knowledge.

Being an escrow officer is a very high stress job. They are constantly under pressure from everyone in the transaction to "get it done quickly". Dorine is the best I have seen at "getting it done" and done correctly.

We highly recommend her!!

It is my privilege and my pleasure to write a recommendation for who I consider to be the best escrow officer in Clark County...Dorine Skordahl from Chicago Title. I have worked with Dorinne most of my real estate career of 19 years. She has never let me down or did less than caring and thoughtful and thorough work on my transactions. If I could, I would close all real estate transactions with her.

This appreciation was ever so resoundingly driven home at the last of 2013 when I had three closings in a row with a competitor, though not my choice. I was disappointed over and over again. In fact, the last closing actually made me angry at the lack of customer service and follow through.

So back to Dorine: she is the best of the best and I hope she has some inkling of just how very much I appreciate her and her high level of service and caring. My clients really like her as she makes it appear seamless. From disabled and irascible Viet Nam vet to sophisticated professional, Dorine makes everyone feel that they are the most important person in the world as they sign their escrow paperwork. She has always found a way to connect with the differing personality types and has a very approachable and yet professional demeanor.

So my many thanks go to Dorine and also to Chicago Title for always making me feel the same way. I matter and they let me know that I do. It is a win/win situation that benefits us all and in particular our clients.

To Whom it May Concern -

I have had the pleasure and honor of working closely with Dorine Skordahl for the better part of 15 to 20 years in my various roles and positions in commercial banking and mortgage brokering. We have successfully closed well over 70 or 80 + commercial loan transactions over the years and I can honestly say Dorine is amongst the very few and elite closing agents in the entire Pacific Northwest that has the unique and dynamic balance of customer service coupled with excellent knowledge and experience of commercial escrow. There is no other escrow agent I trust more than Dorine!

Additionally, Dorine commits fully to her roles and responsibilities as an escrow agent taking full and complete ownership and responsibility for making sure the client is well taken care of while delicately balancing her fiduciary responsibility to Chicago Title.

All in all, I would and always do recommend Dorine and Chicago Title to any client, friend, or business associate looking for a top notch and dependable title company and escrow agent for handling their commercial closing needs.
