Today PALPAZ….

Today, May 8 I needed assistance with a RMD form. Genesis Oyola was extremely helpful and knowledgeable to be on the phone with me to fill out the form. I did not understand many of the questions completely. She had great patience to be on the phone with me.
She is an asset to Strata and I’m sure it to her fellow associates. If I can rate her more than a five, I would.
Thank you again

Brittany Sisneros

Brittany Sisneros, in just a short amount of time, exceeded my expectations of what a Customer Service Representative should be. She listened patiently as I provided the reason for my call, then she quickly addressed the issue, and I was on my way. I appreciated her courtesy and knowledge. Hats off to Brittany Sisneros.

Strata hires kind and helpful staff

I was dreading having to fill out an online form which I had tried yesterday to fill out. I got bogged down yesterday when I tried to fill it out myself and gave up yesterday afternoon.
But then I was lucky enough to talk to Melissa Garcia today. She made everything easy.
. She helped me fill out the form instructing me whenever I didn’t know what to fill out. She made everything easy. What
a relief!
