Linda has worked at Valley Land since 1995. She is a licensed abstractor, a licensed title insurance agent and is the head of our Title Insurance Department. Linda and her husband Gary have been married for thirty-five years, have one daughter and two grandchildren.

Sarah has been with us since 2008 and has been working in the title world since 2004-so to say she knows her stuff is an understatement. She’s our go-to expert for anything related to Sequoyah County property and is known for being super reliable, driven, and always ready to lend a hand.

At home, Sarah’s life is full of love and a little chaos-she’s a proud mom to two boys and takes care of a fun bunch of animals, including a dog, cat, chickens, and ducks. She loves being outside, especially near her pond, and finds peace in a good book. Whether she’s at work or at home, Sarah’s a true protector, a natural helper, and someone everyone’s glad to have in their corner.

Linda has worked at Valley Land since 2005 and is the head of our Closing Department. Linda and her husband Eddie have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Lauren-Ashleigh has been with us since 2020 and is one of those people you can always count on. As a licensed abstractor, she’s sharp, reliable, and brings a calm, steady energy to everything she does. She’s a total pro at handling the details, and her kind, thoughtful nature makes her a favorite among coworkers and clients alike. When she’s not at work, you’ll likely find her curled up with a good book or
spending time with her husband and their spoiled cat. Married since 2015, she’s all about cozy vibes, quiet moments, and giving her all-both on the job and at home.

Taylor has been a part of the team since March of 2021. While her main role is a Closing Agent, she is also a Licensed Abstractor and a Licensed Title Insurance Agent. One of her favorite parts of the job? Snapping those, “Just bought a house!” photos for the first time home buyers. Taylor is all about family life with her husband Shade and their greatest joy is their two children, Lilah and Bod hi. She is a big fan of caffeine, a lover of plants, and always
brings a warm, steady presence to the closing room!

Angel has been a valued member of our team since 2020, bringing her expertise and steady dedication to every title and abstract she handles. Known for her quiet nature and sweet demeanor, Angel keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. When she’s not at work, you’II find her enjoying time with her husband and daughter, likely with an iced coffee in hand and maybe sneaking in a little shopping trip.

Bianca is a Licensed Abstractor and our friendly front-line Secretary, bringing a blend of professionalism and warmth to the team since 2022. Known for her outgoing personality and topnotch customer service skills, she’s always ready to help with a smile. Bianca has been married since 2020, is a proud mom to a daughter, and shares her home with two dogs, a cat, and a growing jungle of houseplants. A true nature lover, she enjoys camping, being outdoors, and surrounding herself with
green things-both in and out of the office!

Deona joined our team in 2024 and quickly became a bright and dependable presence in the office. As a closing agent, she brings organization, positivity, and a genuine care for helping clients through every step of the process.

Married since 2022, she balances family life with her love for reading and nurturing her growing collection of plants.
