Sandra is a valued member of Old Republic Title’s Albuquerque escrow team with 24 years of experience in the title and escrow industry.
A native of Fort Sumner, New Mexico, Sandra graduated from Fort Sumner High School and Roswell College of Cosmetology before entering the world of title insurance. She quickly learned the business and built a career with two national underwriters prior to joining Old Republic Title. Her favorite things about her job are interacting with new people, building lasting relationships with her clients, and striving to make every closing transaction a great experience for them.
In her spare time, Sandra is active in a local business networking group and enjoys traveling with her husband of 33 years, Jeff. They love glamping and going on cruises, and are looking to invest in an RV soon, so they can spend more time with their daughters, Nichole and Michelle; dogs Sophie (a 2-year-old Boston terrier) and Brutis (a 15-year-old mastiff/pitbull mix); and hopefully, one day, some future grandchildren!
