Chief Operating Officer
Contact: (412) 213-7226 | marloa@propertycloserspgh.com
Marlo Arnold joined our team in September of 2019 with over 20 yrs of experience in the industry. We knew the value she had to bring after running the daily operations of a title company on her own, so we pursued her for a year until we got her!
Marlo’s 20 years of expertise is diversified, which broadens her ability to serve our clients, home buyers and sellers in each transaction. She started out in wholesale lending in Chicago IL, then migrated to a residential Loan Officer giving her a great understanding for what a customer needs when obtaining financing for their home. She has handled mortgage processing for many years as well, so the back end of the mortgage industry is not foreign to her either. Marlo understands the demands of the lender and how to collaborate with them efficiently, as she has worked in that arena for more than half of her time in the real estate industry. Home buyers and Investors can count on her to guide them smoothly through to the end.
In the title industry, she has both processed and acted as a closing agent, so she fully understands the documents that are being created, finalized at the closing table and recorded in the courts to make ownership official. She has seen it all from start to finish.
Marlo describes herself as a hometown city girl! She is married with a teenage son and her rescue dog, and will flash you maybe the prettiest smile you’ve ever seen. We’re just hoping she doesn’t leave us to move to Florida…she’s got a sweater and that heater going in her office year round!
Never regret taking a chance, even if you fall on your face; It's better to know you tried and failed than to wonder the great 'what if?'.

Karen Phillips
Director of First Impressions \ Receptionist
Karen has a smile and genuine friendliness that can be heard through the phone. She always has you at hello!
She is eager to sincerely help each person that calls The Property Closers. We know that buying a home or property for your business can be stressful, with lots of moving parts and at times urgency. We also know that you need your call and your questions answered quickly.
Karen has an uncanny ability to evaluate the need, urgency and appropriate avenue to help. She is calm and cheerful and empathetic, which makes her the absolute perfect person to offer a first impression to our customers when they call.
When she’s not here impressing the socks off of everyone who rings our phone, she enjoys peaceful gardening (where she can rest her voice), spending time with friends and family and shopping. We are so lucky to have her on our team!
