Concord Escrow is founded by Principal and President Susan Blanchard. Growing up as the daughter of an Army Sergeant, Susan was constantly moving from place to place, and from a young age her entrepreneurial tendencies blossomed with a passion to serve her community. She started her career in New Jersey at a local bank where she quickly worked her way to branch manager.
By 1980 Susan moved to California where she met her future husband and business partner William Blanchard. William, a real estate broker, introduced Susan to the real estate industry. Her love for real estate began with a job at a real estate development company where she worked closely with the escrow company handling the transactions. Within a short time, she began working for that escrow company where she excelled, and within a year she had taken over the owner’s clients and management of the office.
Over time Susan wanted to branch out on her own, so with a wealth of experience and the support of her husband, they opened Concord Escrow in 1993 in Fountain Valley California. By the end of their 3rd year, they purchased a building in nearby Huntington Beach, and with an ever-expanding business they quickly outgrew it and expanded into the building next door, which remains their headquarters today.
Susan credits Concord Escrow’s success to the dedicated escrow officers that have been mentored along the way and their teams that support them. “They are a tight knit family, with loyalty and respect for one another. A feeling of synergy and good energy is felt when you walk into the office. Certainly, the key that makes Concord Escrow thrive.”
With the care and personalized service that is given to each and every client, it’s no wonder Concord Escrow is Orange County’s leading escrow company in the industry.
