Read Bio Cynthia Moller is a Senior Escrow Officer, who specializes in commercial and bulk sales and loves giving back. With nearly three decades of escrow experience, she has an exceptional depth of industry knowledge that she readily offers up in her blog, “Ask Cynthia,” and to her loyal clients at Glen Oaks Escrow in Valencia.. “I like to be out front – talking, writing and presenting ideas about this great industry we’re a part of,” she said. “With today’s advanced technologies, we can easily do this, yet it’s rare to find escrow companies taking advantage of the opportunities. That’s what drew me to Glen Oaks Escrow. They’re a forward-thinking company with amazing communications and state-of-the-art processes that enable me to serve my clients better.” Cynthia started in banking, moved over to escrow and immediately began working on complex transactions like assumptions, notes and deeds of trust. Today, clients appreciate her technical expertise in a wide range of escrow transactions. Her area of specialization is commercial and bulk sales, but she also successfully manages residential and liquor license transfers. Cynthia is also a “front person” in her personal life. As a “drop in” singer with several local southland bands, she often performs at events to support charities like the Food Pantry. When she’s not onstage or working with non-profit organizations like Habitat for Humanity, this hardworking Mom brings her vibrant personality home to share with the three biggest joys in her life – her children.
