Jenny Martinez – Pre-Closer

Jenny Martinez is the pre-closer at River City Title & Escrow. She started her career in title and escrow in 2001 where she gained a strong foundation in real estate law, working with many lenders and realtors from all over the south. Once she felt seasoned in her craft, she landed a job as a loan processor and eventually was promoted to a licensed Loan Originators Assistant. Jenny spent 12 years working on a high production lending team that closed over 250 to 300 loans a year. This was a time of growth and an experience that changed the direction of her career to encompass the closing and title side of the transaction. This was a smooth transition since the two industries work so close  together in the closing and  funding process.  As the teams pre-closer Jenny ensures the buyer, seller, and agent are updated  throughout the process, and the properties title is clear and ready to close.
  
Jenny finds great joy in spending time with her husband Brian and rescued dog Billy Ray Valentine. She loves to spend time in the kitchen cooking and baking, and has a newfound passion for Korean food.  Outside of the office her favorite hobbies include: watching old movies, reading, swimming, and working in the yard.
