At all points in the escrow process, they strive to take great care of their clients. Their vast knowledge of the Real Estate Industry coupled with their fantastic customer service makes them the full package! Aimee, Tracie, Lauren, and Steve all have a distinctive passion about what they do. They are always available and ready to assist me with anything that may arise in one of my transactions. Anyone who works in this industry knows that situations arise quite often and unexpectedly. Thanks to the constant communication, vast knowledge of the escrow process, and positive attitudes that they all possess, I really love working with the Team over at Tiempo Escrow, Inc. I can't even begin to count the numerous times that I've called Aimee to get some random advice about a specific issue that I was dealing with. Aimee is not only a great Escrow Officer to use if you need a transaction taken care of very well... but she is also a fantastic sounding-board to talk to about anything Real Estate related. She is one of the most helpful, articulate, and sharpest people that I know! And her experience is second to none! I love bouncing ideas off of Aimee... she always has a fresh and carefully-calculated response that quickly solves whatever issue I'm calling about. Aimee and the rest of the Team - thank you for all you do for me and my business!!

If I could put negative stars then I would. Run away from using them…read more Owner Amy doesn't have any customer service skills and very misleading company. Just found out that our house deed was incorrectly filled out. Claire who is the senior escrow officer who helped us, did not explain how we could be impacted by our selection. We trusted her to help us ensure that the form was completed accurately and now we're having to get a new house deed. Considering that she is the subject matter expert with these, I would've appreciated and expected her to help ensure that this form was being completed accurately in our best interest. This is an important document that I feel like she dropped the ball with education and ensuring that we were taken care of. Very disappointed and hoping that they rectify this.. I would highly recommend to not use them. They will not do right by their customers.

Selling a home can be…read morestressful, but their team made the entire escrow process feel organized, efficient, and remarkably smooth. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and communication were exceptional throughout the entire transaction. At every step, we were kept informed about what was happening, what was needed from us, and what to expect next. Whenever we had a question or needed clarification, the team was responsive and made sure everything was handled promptly. A special thank you to James, Barb, Gwen, and Alice, who went above and beyond to help us successfully close out our sale. Each of them was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful, and their coordination made what could have been a complicated and stressful process feel seamless. We especially appreciated how proactive the team was in keeping everything on track and communicating with us through the final steps of closing. Their efficiency and customer service gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. We highly recommend Coast City Escrow to anyone looking for a professional, responsive, efficient, and dependable escrow team. Thank you to James, Barb, Gwen, Alice, and the entire Coast City Escrow team for helping make our sale such a smooth and successful experience!

I called in to them this morning to confirm information so we could send a large wire to them. I…read morespoke to Esther and just have to say she was very disrespectful on so many levels. There is a lot of fraud out there, so I completely understand being safe and asking for information before confirming information. I had all the instructions and was just asking for her to verify. I told her the name of the real estate agent we were sending the wire for, and she instantly became very angry and raised her voice and replied; "she already called me this morning and I told her we do NOT have the revised wire amount ready for her yet, and now she has you calling us?!" I replied that the realtor had literally just given us the updated wire amount, moments before; and I provided that new number to Esther. Esther then placed me on hold without telling me - and I was about to hang up when she came back on the line and told me that I had the correct "revised" wire amount. I had one more thing to clarify, as their wire instructions are 3 pages (I have never seen them this long) and they separate the Escrow Company, and then list another completely separate block of information titled "BENEFICIARY BANK" as though they are separate items. I just asked and wanted to be sure there wasn't an intermediary bank (as there often is). I had one account number and one ABA number, but wanted to be 100% sure that they went together with how the directions were spaced out - and separated - it did not look like they were the same party. She said; "I can't give you information, you need to call the realtor." I had given her all the numbers, and she just got stuck on being sure to make me call the realtor (that I could tell she was already angry at). We had no choice as we had less than 2 hours to get the wire processed. .. And the realtor was of course, not happy that we had to call her and she said that the wire details were included in the instructions she provided to us. The realtor advised that Bank of America had just transmitted with those exact instructions and it went through without a problem. Hearing that helped me determine there was no intermediary bank. It's just so sad that she simply refused to just tell me that. My ONLY goal was to not make any mistakes on an extremely large wire. There were so many people it would have affected if I had not done things correctly. We need to be kind and grateful that we have people being careful for MUTUAL clients that we serve. I really do not understand why people take things personally and are so unkind and unprofessional. I can see this company has great reviews, so this might be a bad apple. In the end our wire went through properly.

Lighthouse Escrow (Danylle Hallahan) was awesome, and I'd definitely use them again and highly…read morerecommend them. I've used a few different escrow companies over the years for both residential and commercial property sales and purchases and not all were good experiences. I was selling another property and just wasn't comfortable with the escrow company being suggested, especially after seeing their reviews on Yelp and Google. I was ready to fall back on one of the three escrow companies I have previously used, but was also surprised to find that their recent reviews were no longer impressing me, so I searched for a new escrow company and came across Lighthouse. There were lots of excellent real customer reviews, and they had a legitimate webpage that estimated my fees, a list of people working there with their bios, and the company felt very professional compared to the others. I was impressed that not only did somebody answer the phone, but they were also able to answer all my questions. After a few phone calls with Lighthouse, I requested them to be the new escrow company and the realtor and buyer both agreed. I can say without any doubts that my experiences with Danylle Hallahan at Lighthouse Escrow and her team were outstanding and exceeded anything I've experienced through several other escrow companies I've used. All the fees were clearly laid out before me, and there were no hidden fees. The best part was their communication. They immediately sent me a timetable informing me of when specific things in this process are supposed to happen along with their contacts incase I had any questions. Everybody was kept in the loop during the entire process, and if I had any questions, Danylle always answered her phone or got back to me shortly with answers. Danylle and everybody at Lighthouse was very professional, very helpful, very thorough and very timely throughout this entire process. I'll definitely use them again and highly recommend them as a trusted and professional escrow company.

SELLER BEWARE: Read more closely the "OTHER AGREEMENTS" and "DEPOSIT" sections of the contract…read morebefore signing (see attached images). The purchase agreement my wife signed (upon further review) favors the buyer more than the seller. Go with these folks only if you are desperate to get rid of a property no matter how much money you'll get for it. But if you do want a favorable deal, know that with Superior Homebuyers, we have no protections if all of a sudden, a "financial partner" doesn't want to fund this purchase with less than a week to go before escrow closes, which is what happened to us. Then suddenly without notice, they called us back and said they found a financial partner after a weekend. The "Earnest Money Deposit" favors the buyer--if the agreement gets canceled for whatever reason, the seller loses out on time and effort in communication with our tenant (if you still have one on the property you want to sell) and your employees. Based on my experience, whenever Superior Homebuyers wants to reach out to us, we have been diligent in responding to text messages or calling back. If I need to contact someone over something that's not favorable to this purchase, then I get no courtesy calls back or text responses. Employees are suddenly out of town. They are more like Inferior than Superior Homebuyers. I wrote a letter and mailed it recently, describing how these people who work for this company lost my trust, and as of today (July 9), I've only heard back from one employee, a Chris Hernandez who understood all the problems I listed in my letter to the company's founder/president. Hernandez told me to call back within a week if the owner does not call or write me back. Still have not received a phone call or letter from the firm's president. In fact, when I tried calling the Irvine office the other day, I kept getting a not-in-service message from the phone company.

As a real estate agent, I deal with lots of different escrow companies, and I must say hands down…read moreConcord Escrow is my favorite and the one I'm going to choose every time if I get the option. Mary Marinko is my favorite officer there, but the whole entire company from the owner to the front desk staff is truly 5-star. I would go so far as to say if the agent on the other side wants to use a different company, I'm going to do my best to get them to give Concord a try because it really is going to make a huge difference in the smoothness of the transaction. Not only do they turn things around quickly, but they are always anticipating every little hiccup and making all the parties aware before the hiccup becomes a full blown issue. I'm not sure if that comes from their years of experience - of seeing every kind of weird thing that can cause escrows to delay or derail - or if it's more of the personalities that make up this exceptional team of professionals - an amazing balance of genius brains, attention to detail, and calm levelheadedness in the face of time pressure and emotionally charged situations. But whatever it is, I'm telling you every time I've introduced my clients or colleagues to Concord, I end up looking like a genius myself. No transaction is without its curve balls, but with Concord to anticipate and creatively solve issues, keeping everyone breathing with a sense of humor and focused on our ultimate goals, and their work ethic that gives you the feeling they are personally vested in the success of each transaction enough to go above and beyond when necessary, I always have happy clients when all is said and done. Please do yourself a favor and choose Mary at Concord any time you get the chance!

Incredible Realtor Experience with Sandy Castro from Realty One Group in Torrance, CA…read more I had the absolute pleasure of working with an amazing realtor partner who truly went above and beyond for our clients! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative, knowledgeable, and client-focused. She helped our buyers get their offer accepted in a competitive market and even negotiated seller credit to make the deal even sweeter! What sets her apart is her eye for detail and her ability to prepare both buyers and sellers for every step of the process. She doesn't just sell homes she guides people through one of the most stressful and emotional journeys with confidence, care, and professionalism. If you're thinking about buying or selling a home, look no further. She's not only a skilled negotiator and market expert, but also someone who genuinely cares about helping people achieve their real estate goals. Working with her is a joy, and I can't recommend her enough!
