Arizona Escrow & Financial (AEF) is Arizona’s largest independent escrow company, specializing in commercial brokers, business brokers, and attorneys. Known for its broad range of services in business sales, commercial real estate, and custom transactions, AEF is expanding to meet the growing demand in the West Valley, home to cities like Goodyear, Surprise, and Glendale.
The West Valley is experiencing rapid growth, creating new opportunities for real estate and business transactions. CEO Monica May-Dunn emphasized, “Our commercial escrow services ensure secure, seamless transactions for business sales, real estate acquisitions, and legal settlements.” With more businesses moving to the area, AEF’s expertise is critical for navigating this evolving market.
Tracy Jankowski, Business Development Manager for the West Valley, noted that businesses from California and other states are relocating to the region, further driving demand for escrow services. “We’re building relationships with local business owners, brokers, and attorneys,” Tracy explained, highlighting the company’s community-focused approach, which sets it apart from competitors.
For business owners, especially those with high-value assets, AEF offers customized solutions, such as holding accounts for business sales and mobile notary services for convenience. Tracy explained that many West Valley business owners are transitioning out of farming or selling their businesses. “These transitions can be complex, and we guide clients through the process securely and efficiently.”
Technology plays a key role in enhancing AEF’s customer experience. Monica highlighted the firm’s integration of real-time transaction tracking and advanced cybersecurity to protect clients’ sensitive data. “With dedicated security ensuring transaction protection, we’re confident our clients are secure,” she said. AEF continually updates its software to stay at the forefront of digital escrow services.
AEF’s commitment to Arizona extends beyond escrow. Monica and Tracy are actively involved in organizations like CCIM, RMA, and NAWBO, which support business growth in the state. The company also supports charitable organizations such as the American Heart Association and Arizona Helping Hands. “Investing in our community builds trust and strengthens the foundation for businesses to thrive,” Monica said.
Tracy, with strong ties to the West Valley, is excited about AEF’s expanding presence in the region. “The West Valley’s growth presents so much potential—it’s thrilling to be part of a company making a difference here,” she said. Her background in residential real estate helps AEF form strong bonds with commercial clients and create synergies between both sectors.
Looking ahead, Monica emphasized that AEF’s focus will be on growth, particularly in commercial and industrial real estate. “Flexibility and creative financing solutions will be crucial as we adapt to a changing market,” she said. With strong leadership, technological innovation, and a focus on community engagement, AEF is poised to remain a key player in Arizona’s economy.
