Eric Shewfelt
Eric Shewfelt, a member of the third generation of Shewfelts to work at Wilshire Escrow Company, has been working continuously with the firm since 1982. He began doing foreclosure and trustee work and took over an escrow desk in 1983. He handles all types of commercial, industrial, multi-family and single family residential real property transactions, including 1031 tax deferred exchanges. Trained by his father and uncles in traditional escrow practices (i.e. pre-word processor), Eric understands how to handle many of more complicated types of transactions which may involve land contracts, all-inclusive deeds of trust, and concurrent exchanges. Eric believes in serving his clients to whatever degree is necessary. Many escrows require painstaking work and explanations to principals that do not do this all the time. His vast experience and explanations of how issues are customarily resolved often assist in closing a transaction.
