I have known and used Gail Hershowitz as an Escrow Officer for over 15 years. In my opinion, she is by far the best in the business. Her dedication, passion, and knowledge are second to none. I have recommended her services to numerous clients, attorneys, and business managers and have always received the highest level of appreciation and positive feedback.
