Led by example she instilled a strong work ethic right from the very beginning of her career. Elizabeth has been working in the title and escrow industry for 30 years.

Starting at the front desk she learned and grew from working with some truly remarkable individuals. Over the course of her career, she was guided further into the business. Elizabeth’s dedication and undying commitment has helped her gain as much knowledge as she could throughout the years. Eventually, Elizabeth had the opportunity to manage her own branch which she gladly accepted. In 2008, Elizabeth joined Clear Title Agency of Arizona.

Elizabeth’s essential duties include recon on a daily basis, as well as handling all outgoing and incoming wires. Her enthusiasm and drive for this new opportunity continues to excite Elizabeth every day.

Branch Testimonials
"It is less seldom people will take time from their busy day to express a job well done. With that said, we simply must acknowledge the Scottsdale team at Clear Title. These ladies were professional and efficient with the simultaneous closing of our properties. (Selling one home ad buying another) Everything was coordinated perfectly. We spent the night in our old home and the next night, in our new home. These ladies were always prompt with replies to our questions and displayed cheerful, helpful dispositions. We couldn’t be more please with our decisions to choose Clear Title as our title company. We would strongly recommend them to our friends and family. We really appreciate your knowledge of the business and efficiency!"
