For a person whose favorite pastime is visiting open houses on weekends, it’s no surprise that Christopher Arce-Dale found his calling in real estate.  He began his career in insurance as an underwriter, and although it suited his technical abilities, it lacked the warmth of communication with customers. He moved into escrow as a receptionist, and more than a decade later he not only has his own desk at Glen Oaks Escrow but is also the Branch Manager at the company’s office location in Laguna Niguel.

“I have a Nordstrom mentality where service is everything,” Christopher shared.  “After I met with the management team at Glen Oaks Escrow, I knew it was the right place for me.”  The organization’s progressive thinking, support system and state-of-the-art technology enables Christopher to focus his energies on providing the personal touch and technical acumen his clients appreciate.  He handles residential resale, 1031 Tax Exchanges, large REO groups and some tract sales along with office managerial duties which entail recruiting topnotch escrow officers and building new relationships in South County.

When he’s not in the office or scouting new Open Houses, Christopher loves spending time with his family, driving through Trabuco Canyon and tooling along the coast in search of a good classic car show.

In her early years, Karen Wisdom wanted to be a water meter reader.  When she was turned down because she was a woman and not “strong” enough to handle fieldwork, she left for a field that would give her a fighting chance – real estate.

“As an asset manager, I worked on REOs and bank-owned properties, which was often quite emotional,” Karen recalls.  “When you give people cash for their keys, it’s a very distressing situation.” She eventually moved over to escrow and caught the bug. When the time came to find work closer to home, she did her research and came across Yelp reviews for Glen Oaks Escrow that had her actively pursuing a position with the company. “After meeting with the management team, I knew I wanted to work here and it’s even better than I expected. Everything is awesome – the marketing support, the computer systems and the people!” Karen’s compassionate streak is highly appreciated by those who’ve experienced distressed home sale situations as well as first-time homebuyers. Her escrow skills and knowledge cover a wide array of transactions including: REOs, short sales, refinance, residential, and commercial.

On the weekends, Karen swings into action on the golf course. Giving her husband a run for his money, she works her way around bunkers and sand traps for those sweet long drives down the fairway. Fore!
