Congratulations to Mary Garcia, our newly appointed Assistant Manager for our Phoenix NTS Office!
Mary can honestly say that she has “grown up in title” having worked in the industry since she was just 18 years old. Growing up as the proverbial “military brat”, Mary grew up overseas in England, returning to the states to at 18 to finish high school in Las Vegas, where her father retired. The only problem was that in the UK, no one can drive until 18. Having never held that oh so important license in her teenage hands, Mary was forced to find a job that she could walk to everyday. She found a nearby company that she worked for after school. As fate had planned, Mary’s boss sold the company, but he promised to find her another job. Luckily for her, he made a call to the title company that had closed their sale thinking that her background in her summer military jobs may appeal to their needs with of all things “microfiche”- remember that? Back in the day when you went to the library instead of Google? Mary was able to sweet talk her way into rides to and from work everyday and said that her office team taught her to drive; in her words- “it took a village!”
It was 1985 when Mary took her first job in the title business and she spent 11 years as a Title Officer. She says that learning title in Vegas was a great opportunity to learn all of the things not to do and was exposed to some “questionable” goings on that allowed her to hone her title instincts!
In 1996 Mary moved to Denver because “it was a nice place to visit” where she was hired by Lawyers Title, she then relocated to Phoenix two years later to her current NTS home.
Mary says that her Fidelity Phoenix team is her true family and she looks forward to seeing them every day. When not working, Mary claims Sedona is her sanctuary where she enjoys hiking and being outdoors. She has two pooches, Duke who is a Lab and a stray mutt, Katie that she rescued from a busy street.
Mary looks forward to many more years in the industry and the challenges presented by the changing environment of our time.
