This company does not honor contracts and attempts to hold escrow and earnest money in violation of the purchase contract. Nearly 18 months ago, we were going to purchase a home in Jackson, MI, but the bank did not approve the loan, so the purchase agreement was nullified at that point. The sellers actually sold the home to another buyer within a very short period of time (weeks), yet demanded that they be allowed to keep half of the money or else they would not agree to sign a release. The title company has not been helpful and has allowed an unscrupulous and unethical seller, to tie up the release of the earnest money for nearly 18 months! The contract clearly states that the purchase agreement is void and all money deposited by the seller shall be returned if financing is not satisfied/approved. We live in FL. This title company has acted as unethically as the seller. We are now forced to litigate this matter and until this matter is resolved and we get our earnest money returned, we will continue to file complaints and shed light on American Title company's dishonorable conduct. For $500 in unlawfully held earnest money, this company has purchased endless bad reviews, complaints to the state AG, and litigation. American Title Company is dishonorable! read more
