Our Team...
Julie Scianna is President and co-founder of Landmark Title & Escrow Co., Inc. As an independent policy issuing agent of First American Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, she underwrites for the largest underwriters in the nation. During Julie's 25+ year career, she has underwritten and organized closings in six different states.
In 1996, while still a college student, Julie was hired as a receptionist for a local title company and quickly moved up through the various departments, eventually being named CFO of the company. The need for reliable, efficient closing services in her hometown prompted her return to the Bay in 2000. Thus, Landmark Title & Escrow Co., Inc. was born, opening its doors at 142 Main St. in December of that same year. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused major damage to the building so the company temporarily relocated to Hwy. 90. In 2007, Landmark Title found its permanent home at 521 Ulman Ave.
The devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 stirred in Julie a renewed commitment to the re-growth of the community. She served a 4-year term on the Parks & Recreation Commission for the city of Bay St. Louis, aiding with the rebuilding of parks and community spaces destroyed by the storm and currently sits on the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity Bay-Waveland Area, Inc., which serves both Hancock and Pearl River counties. She is President of the School Advisory Council for Holy Trinity Catholic School. Julie, along with her husband, Harvey, have volunteered countless hours with the Cub Scouts and both are active volunteers in various capacities within their church and son's school.
The youngest of nine children, Julie is a native of Bay St. Louis, MS, and a proud alumna of Our Lady Academy, Pearl River Community College and the University of Southern Mississippi. She resides in Bay St. Louis with her husband, Harvey Timberlake, and their son, Jackson. They are active members of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church and the Bay-Waveland Yacht Club.
