Our Team
Meet The Monarchs
At Monarch Escrow, our team is the heartbeat of everything we do. We’re attorneys, closers, processors, and problem-solvers, but above all, we’re humans who believe in doing business the right way: with integrity, humor, and a deep respect for the people we serve. This isn’t a cubicle farm or a faceless call center. We’re a close-knit crew that’s obsessed with details, allergic to deal drama, and powered by caffeine, collaboration, and the occasional office playlist debate. Together, we’ve built something rare — a place where legal expertise meets genuine connection. Because at the end of the day, behind every file and every closing, there’s a person trusting us to protect what matters most.

With over 17 years of experience in real estate and title law, Hope built her reputation the old-fashioned way — by doing the hard work no one else wanted to do and making it look effortless. She’s equal parts strategist and straight-shooter, known for her uncanny ability to spot (and fix) issues before they ever become problems.
As the visionary behind Monarch Escrow, Hope reimagined what a title company could be — elegant in presentation, powerful in execution, and grounded in the integrity that built her career.
But don’t let the polished branding fool you — she’s as real as they come. A small-town Mississippi native turned trusted advisor aner business partner. Hope brings her Southern work ethic, quick wit, and lawyer-level calm to every transaction.
When she’s not reviewing contracts or mentoring her team, you’ll find her on the sidelines of a soccer field cheering for her two teenage sons.
Hope’s philosophy is simple: protect the deal, empower the people, and make the process better every single time.
That’s not just what Monarch Escrow does — it’s who she is.
