    • Our office doors may be closed or locked, however, we are open for business between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm.
    • Please call us upon arrival to any of our offices. If you are unable to call, please knock if you have an appointment and some one will come to open the door momentarily. If you do not have an appointment you will need to call and schedule or take advantage of our drop locations. 
    • We have added drop locations for your convenience and safety. The Bend drop location is a secure box located outside our north main entrance. The Redmond branch drop is a mail drop built into the left main door just below eye level. 
    • If you or someone you have been around has been sick, please stay home and reschedule your closing.
    • Talk with your escrow officer about utilizing some of our electronic signature technologies to limit time in the closing room.
    • At any time contact your escrow officer to explore alternative signing options, such as a remote notary, “parking lot” signings, or an alternative location. 
    • Signings are limited to appointments only and are for those individuals necessary to sign for the transaction.
    • When you come into our offices for a closing, know we have prepared for your arrival.
      • We will welcome you with a wave instead of a handshake.
