Getting our mortgage was tedious and stressful so we were very thankful to have an escrow company that was on top of every detail! TL is amazing and incredibly organized and as nice to work with as they come. She's a breath of fresh air! I highly recommend her and Maritime Escrow.

"I was referred to begin using Maritime Escrow in early 2010 because the Contract Processor that I was using at the time thought that I would be more pleased with their service and nature than the "big" Title Company Escrow Officer that I had been using for the prior years. That was one of the best professional decisions and recommendations I ever acted upon. They make me look good, which leads to customer loyalty and referrals from those clients, which helps keep me "in business", since 100% of my deals over the past 28 years have been referral based. I am and will be a fan and business partner of Maritime Escrow for as long as possible"

"Maritime Escrow has been my choice for the past four years on my real estate transactions. Each client is given full service, timely response on questions and their track record for accuracy is amazing. As a Realtor who represents a lot of clients, Maritime Escrow accommodates each client's situation to make the process smooth and stress free. I am always greeted with a pleasant and cheerful hello both in person and on the phone. Whenever there is another Realtor involved in a home sale and I have introduced them to Maritime Escrow, I am always told what a great experience and choice had been made. The experience of the escrow officers and knowledge of details to close the transaction is top notch. I work with Sally Tadlock and cannot say enough great things about her! Put your next transaction here, and you'll never go anywhere else!"
