Kristi always provides the highest level of service for me and my clients. Fun and ready to solve any problem, she is my go-to escrow professional. Whether I'm dealing with a straightforward transaction or a deal with a lot of unexpected set backs, I know Kristi will be fives steps ahead resolving any issues. Plus, if I'm not able to be there when my clients are singing, I trust her and her team to treat them like royalty. In this industry, Kristi stands out and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their lives a little easier.

I wouldn't choose to work with anyone other than Kristi. You feel your transaction is in good hands and know she is on top of everything. It is nice to be assured that your clients will also have a great home selling experience in what can be a sometimes stressful time. With all her knowledge and experience she makes me look good in front of my clients and I am proud to have sent the transaction her way.

Kristi's professionalism and knowledge of her position as an Escrow officer is bar none. When you close with Kristi you know everything will go as smoothly as can be. I've been closing deals with her since 2002 and will continue to as long as I'm a realtor.

I've been working with Kristi for about 5 years now & I've been in the business for almost 13 years....where does the time fly!? I would not send my deals to anyone else!

Kristi is the best! I've worked with her for years on many transactions (personal and for my clients) and her attention to detail, skill at managing complicated transactions, and general friendliness are tops. You can't go wrong with her as your escrow officer.

Kristi has been both a great friend and trusted ally in all our development transactions. She and her teams attention to detail, prompt response and knowledge of the process are unparalleled. With each passing year, the complexity of the transaction process, volume of paperwork and quantity of details the must be managed to execute a buy or sell grow exponentially. Yet they manage it all with ease. Seems as there is not situation they have not seen. Give them a deadline and provide them w/ the necessary documents and she and her team will get your transaction closed.

Working with Kristi and team is an absolute pleasure! Having closed dozens of transactions with her over the last 8 years they are ALWAYS prepared and very thorough. Accessibility is a big part in assuring that a transaction goes smoothly and Kristi's response and reaction time is as good as it gets. Kristi along with Fidelity continually touches base with me to make sure that they are doing their part to make sure that my business is as efficient as possible. Through hard work and attention to detail Kristi has become the preferred escrow officer for our company, Portland Houseworks.

KRISTI IS ONE THE BEST CLOSERS I HAVE. I HAVE BEEN IN REAL ESTATE MORE THAN 25 YEARS AND HAVE WORKED WITH A LOT OF ESCROW OFFICERS. I ALSO HAD A TRANSACTION WITH A COMPETITOR AND I COMPLAINED NONSTOP ABOUT THEM TO THE OTHER AGENT THAT SELECTED THAT CLOSER. FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH KRISTI AND AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT AND RECOMMEND HER TO EVERYONE. SHE MAKES CLOSING VERY EASY AND NICE. AS LONG MY CLOSER IS KRISTI, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY ISSUES.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kristi Walhood for several years. Her attention to detail and unparalleled professionalism makes my life stress free as an agent. Their isn't a time, that I can remember, that whatever I've ever needed or requested from her that she isn't on top of it! It's difficult when I'm unable to work with her. She is simply the best...period!

I have used Kristi Walhood and her assistant, Jennifer Astor, for 4 years and they have given me the best escrow service I've ever experienced. They automatically make certain that all issues are covered, without my needing to remind them. They treat my clients with respect and curtsy and make certain they are kept up to date on all issues.
I've had clients who are not available in the PDX area on the signing date and Kristi and Jennifer have arranged to have the signing via DocuSign, if they are the buyer, or arrange for a traveling notary in the client's geographical area, if they are a buyer. That is so appreciated by my clients.
I've been praised for using such great Escrow Service Professional. One of my recent closing had my seller expressing, "Wow, that was so painless. I had no idea all that was going on behind the scenes, making it so easy for me. "
