Who?
If there really are people for whom work is a favorite hobby, then Brian Hurley is just such a unicorn. Having co-founded his first escrow company before he even graduated from college, Brian truly learned escrow from the ground up, personally handling tens of thousands of successful closings. It’s an odd professional journey for an academic who graduated first in his class with an MBA from one of the top US business schools and later led one of California’s largest title companies. But that’s his secret: he sees and understands escrow from 30,000 feet and from 3 inches, and his experience and wisdom bridge that distance with solutions, insights and guidance that drive outstanding escrow outcomes.
All of that experience, and a desire to put it to work, inspired Brian to launch Forefront Escrow and its predecessor companies. As the president of Forefront Escrow, he’s our official “answer man” who guides our strategy and shapes our future.
Let’s end the rumor: no, Beth Sackett didn’t invent escrow. It’s fair to say, though, that she elevated escrow in Southern California by bringing common sense and a desire to “get it done” to every real estate transaction. As one of the co-founders of Pickford Escrow, Beth once counted more escrow officers across California than any other escrow company. And with California’s largest real estate brokerage as her founding partner, she counted the perspectives of real estate professionals when building out her approach to customer service, creativity, communication and excellence.
All of that learning, and the thousands of successfully closed escrows on which it’s based, inspired Beth to launch Forefront Escrow and its predecessor companies. As the Executive Chair of Forefront Escrow, she’s our north star when it comes to doing the right thing, doing it well, and getting it done!
