MEET OUR LAGUNA NIGUEL TEAM

For a person whose favorite pastime is visiting open houses on weekends, it’s no surprise that Christopher Arce-Dale found his calling in real estate.  He began his career in insurance as an underwriter, and although it suited his technical abilities, it lacked the warmth of communication with customers. He moved into escrow as a receptionist, and more than a decade later he not only has his own desk at Glen Oaks Escrow but is also the Branch Manager at the company’s office location in Laguna Niguel.

“I have a Nordstrom mentality where service is everything,” Christopher shared.  “After I met with the management team at Glen Oaks Escrow, I knew it was the right place for me.”  The organization’s progressive thinking, support system and state-of-the-art technology enables Christopher to focus his energies on providing the personal touch and technical acumen his clients appreciate.  He handles residential resale, 1031 Tax Exchanges, large REO groups and some tract sales along with office managerial duties which entail recruiting topnotch escrow officers and building new relationships in South County.

When he’s not in the office or scouting new Open Houses, Christopher loves spending time with his family, driving through Trabuco Canyon and tooling along the coast in search of a good classic car show.

When it comes to high performance, Hallie Packard is a natural.  She was driving a car by the age of nine, got her real estate license at age 19 and owned and operated a driving/racing school with her brother until turning her attention to real estate full time. Today, she is a business development representative at Glen Oaks Escrow in Laguna Niguel.

“My passion is people.  I like to get out into the community and see where we can make a difference for Realtors, brokers and mortgage institutions,” said Hallie. “Laguna Niguel is such a special city with amazing topography and close proximity to much of what makes Southern California famous – beaches, sunshine, recreation and of course, wonderful communities. At Glen Oaks Escrow, we’re here to listen, learn what folks need and provide our world-class escrow services.”

During her time selling real estate, Hallie assisted in the closing of more than 20 million dollars in sales.  She also became an expert in short sales, a Notary Public and earned a Series 7 certification in financial advising. Exceeding client expectations is her main priority, something for which Glen Oaks Escrow is also well known. “It’s a great fit,” she confirmed. “Our management provides the tools and support that enable everyone in the office to work at their peak potential. We have a highly experienced and motivated team.”

When she’s not out meeting new people throughout South Orange County, Hallie enjoys spending time with her husband mountain biking, paddle boarding and reconnecting with their respective families.
