GLENDALE, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Peak Escrow, a new independently owned and operated escrow company serving Southern California, officially opened today at 6100 San Fernando Road in Glendale. Veteran escrow officers Kristen Hartwick, John Salmon and Nazeli Grigorian, who formerly worked alongside one another at Glen Oaks Escrow, will lead the company as partners, bringing nearly 70 years of combined escrow experience and longstanding relationships throughout the region's real estate community.
Peak Escrow was created to pair the personal attention and accountability of an independent escrow company with the technology, security and operational infrastructure required to support today's increasingly complex transactions. The company will serve real estate professionals, buyers, sellers, lenders and other transaction partners throughout Southern California across a broad range of residential, commercial and specialized escrow services.
"Peak Escrow gives us the opportunity to create a company around the principles that have guided my work throughout my career: accessibility, accountability and personal responsibility for every transaction," said Hartwick. "As partners, we are able to shape the company around the level of care and service our clients have come to expect from us."
Hartwick, Salmon and Grigorian have spent decades working alongside real estate professionals and guiding clients through transactions that often represent some of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. Their shared history and complementary experience provide Peak Escrow with an established foundation of trust, collaboration and practical industry knowledge.
"Our clients trust us with complex transactions because they know we will anticipate challenges, communicate clearly and remain personally engaged from opening through closing," said Salmon. "Peak reflects the standard of service we have upheld throughout our careers and our shared commitment to the clients and professionals we serve."
Peak Escrow has made security and risk management foundational elements of its operations, with professional bonding, errors and omissions insurance, technology systems and cybersecurity protections designed to safeguard sensitive information and funds entrusted to the company.
"We have been intentional about every aspect of Peak, from its operational infrastructure to the culture we are creating," said Grigorian. "Our clients should feel known, supported and completely confident in the people handling their transactions. We are incredibly proud to open our doors and welcome them to Peak."
Peak Escrow is now open and accepting new escrows throughout Southern California.
