Melissa of Inyo / Mono title is great! She is professional and helpful; going above and beyond to close on time. I would recommend this company to anyone needing an escrow company.

Professional, friendly, responsive, and expedient from start to finish. I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Melissa and her team. And as mentioned in other reviews, the office space is worth a visit.

Caroline and Melissa worked on my nightmare of a transaction. Our lender dropped the ball a few times but these ladies were gracious, patient and determined to make it as easy as possible for me. I'd recommend them all day. My lender - not so much...
