Golden State Transaction Services
About Jill Landry
Jill Landry is an independent transaction coordinator with Golden State Transaction Services working with California agents and brokers in Danville. A transaction coordinator keeps a deal on track from acceptance to close: opening escrow, tracking contingency and disclosure deadlines, chasing signatures, and making sure every required document — including the Natural Hazard Disclosure — is in the file on time.
Contra Costa County is crossed by the Hayward and Calaveras faults, carries real industrial/refinery-related contamination sites along the Richmond and Martinez shoreline, and has significant levee-protected flood exposure in the Delta towns of Oakley and Bethel Island. See how earthquake fault zones affect disclosure. Mello-Roos shows up in Contra Costa's newer East County growth areas (Brentwood, Oakley); it's uncommon in the older bayside cities.
Verity NHD gives coordinators a fast way to order California NHD reports for their clients: bill it to escrow, pay by card, or send the seller a pay link, with eSign included on every report. More at our transaction coordinator page.
Common questions in Danville
- What's the biggest natural hazard disclosure concern in Contra Costa County?
- Contra Costa County is crossed by the Hayward and Calaveras faults, carries real industrial/refinery-related contamination sites along the Richmond and Martinez shoreline, and has significant levee-protected flood exposure in the Delta towns of Oakley and Bethel Island. That's the kind of county-level context the statutory NHD report is built to surface for buyers.
- Where does the Natural Hazard Disclosure fit in a TC's timeline?
- Most transaction coordinators order it in the first few days after opening escrow, since the seller's hazard disclosures have to reach the buyer before contingencies can be removed.
- Can a transaction coordinator bill the NHD report to escrow?
- Yes — ordering through Verity NHD lets a coordinator bill the report directly to the escrow file, charge a card, or send the seller a pay link, without carrying the cost themselves.
- What slows down disclosure packages the most?
- Missing or late natural hazard disclosures are one of the most common holdups coordinators run into near contingency deadlines — ordering the NHD report on day one avoids that.
