“First escrow with Newhall Escrow, and I am impressed with the service, the knowledge, and vast understanding of how short sales work in today's marketplace! Shelly, our escrow officer, was incredibly good, immensely prepared always and would deal with the challenge head on without 'bothering' me. I would be told of the event after it has been solved... You will get all your escrow fee's worth with this company. I highly recommend Shelly!”

“WOW !! The best escrow team in the SCV. I have worked with many escrow companies over the years and I can attest that this is the most knowledgeable escrow team around. They know what it takes and when it needs to be done so that your transaction can close smoothly and on time. In fact Steve,Shelly and the team have been known to hold together hard transactions when buyers sellers, banks and agents need a neutral 3rd party opinion on what to do next.”

“Steve and the entire team at Newhall are simply the best. We just completed a transaction that included multiple escrows. Throughout the process Newhall was right there with us and always kept us up to date. This ended up being a very smooth transaction and the closing went off without a hitch! Highly Recommended!"
