I had the pleasure of working with Sara for my escrow process. Having done this process with a different company one time before (which was a nightmare), Sara was amazing. She was responsive and communicative, all things you would want out of working with an escrow officer for one of the biggest purchases of your life! We are greatful for a smooth process with Sara and would recommend anyone to use Barringer Escrow. read more

Team Dan - delivered seamless service for all parties involved, my client was happy, processor and lender all very pleased in the end, kudos to Daniel Wallace! read more

Team Cheryl made our lives so much easier during the selling of my Mother-in-law's home! Cheryl Wolfe was smart and efficient and worked at an exhilarating speed to get the job done - in a short amount of time! She even sent a notary to our house to get the paperwork notarized in a timely matter. She responded to any questions and concerns we had and her personality even over the phone was supportive and understanding. We still can't believe the escrow closed so fast, but thanks to Team Cheryl it did, and we will be forever grateful. read more

I recently used Barringer Escrow for the sale of my home. Sara was my escrow officer. Her attention to detail, follow through, and her professional, in-depth understanding of all aspects related to escrow made my experience easy and painless. Sara was highly responsive and pleasant at every point throughout my escrow. read more

Daniel was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process--professional, responsive, and always willing to explain things clearly. The whole team made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend! read more

Barringer escrow has been my go to escrow provider for a number of years. As a seasoned broker of 14 years, it is crucial for us to have a great team to work with to take care of our clients and not drop the ball! Jordan, Dan, & the team do top notch work and give each transaction the special attention to detail it needs. I can't recommend them enough and the value they provide is unmatched. read more

Daniel and team were helpful in guiding me through the purchase of my home. 21 Years old here, first time buyer, highly recommend using daniel and barringer as your escrow. read more

Team Cheryl pulled off a 10 day closing! All I can say is she made it very easy and was incredible in making sure all communication was shared in a timely manner. There were some issues that popoped up (as expected) and all got handled in spite of the short time line. Highly recommend her! read more

I have done several escrows with them and have zero complaints. Always fast and efficient!

10 Stars is what Barringer Escrow deserves. My wife and I are so glad that we picked Barringer Escrow to be our escrow company instead of the random escrow company my real estate agent wanted to use. As a reminder you have a choice and can pick your escrow company when you are selling your home like we did! Jordan was on top of his game along with Team Sara to make sure our closing date was met as our new house was contingent about this house closing on time. Everything worked like clockwork and the communication was on point. Thanks for helping close the sale of our old house so that we can close on our new house. We will use you in the future when we sell again. Thanks again! read more

Barringer Escrow - Real Estate Services Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Wow- if our file would have received this much attention while active, maybe we would have gotten our money on time! This post close review harassment is really unnecessary. Especially since I have emails with various excuses you are now denying. Too bad we didn't record the phone call where the guy was making excuses that didn't apply to our situation. We got our money over 24 hours late when I started requesting to see the escrow code that allows you hold our money after title was recorded and we had no contingencies or escrow holdbacks. A simple apology and quick fix would have gone a long way in me not writing this original review. Try "We apologize for escrow officer Sara F not really touching your file and having her assistant Robert do everything. He wrongfully assumed he could hold up your funds after recording title to wait for HOA docs. We have let both of them know this is not allowed." read more

Barringer Escrow - Here you go- stop lying! - Real Estate Services Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Very honest group of people. I had sold my house FOUR YEARS AGO, and it turned out there was a credit with the exterminator company from escrow (we had accidentally paid twice). These folks contacted us and sent us out a check. I almost thought it was a scam, as how often do you get a call where you REALLY will receive money?! Nice folks, and appreciate them. :) read more

Responsive And thorough I'd highly recommend them! I was assigned a specific person on my sale and they kept me informed all the way ! read more

We were recently referred to this escrow company, which did an excellent job. Very responsive very easy-going. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a reliable escrow service. Closed in 17 days. read more

Cheryl Wolfe is the best escrow officer I've ever worked with. She is always at least 1 step ahead and is extremely communicative. I never have to worry once the deal is in her hands. If you want a stress free escrow officer, Cheryl at Barringer is your gal!! read more

They were amazing. In our situation, the seller was very high maintenance difficult to work with. This was very stressful. Sara and her team were patient and professional which helped keep the transaction running smoothly. I highly recommend working with them. read more

They were very helpful and efficient.  Things went very smoothly and they made the process easy!

In a world where mediocre has become the norm, Barringer Escrow stands alone at the top of the escrow service industry. Cheryl Wolfe and Tasha Rameriz never cease to amaze me with their exemplary work ethic and over the top customer service to real estate professionals and their clients. When other companies say "that's not possible" Team Cheryl proves them wrong. Concurrent closes are virtually impossible with implementation of Dodd Frank some 11 years ago, however, Cheryl and Tasha haven't heard that. They just finished one where the first of two didn't not authorize close until 5:00pm on Tuesday; by Wednesday at 4:49pm BOTH very complicated transactions closed. I know for a fact other companies would have given up told us "it'll go tomorrow". "Ha", they said, figuratively, "hold my beer". If I could give 10 stars I would. read more

Team Cheryl went above and beyond! They were available, even after hours, responsive, and they know what they are doing. I am very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone in need of their services. Their confidence, gave me confidence in them. And a special shout out to Jordan D. for taking my messages around the clock! Thank you guys so much for your amazing work! Your whole team is top notch. read more

Team Cheryl did an outstanding job for my clients while we were in escrow! Thank you so much Cheryl and the team you guys are great and I look forward to working together again soon. read more

I have been using Barringer Escrow for my Real Estate closings for about 12 years now. I've always like the idea of working with a 3rd party escrow company because I feel it puts both sides of the deal on equal footing. Cheryl Wolfe was an escrow assistant when I started with them and over time she moved up to Escrow Officer. She is my absolute go-to escrow officer, although all of the officers are professional and thorough ~ Cheryl and I just hit it off. She gets it done, cuts through the bull, and has the experience and expertise to sometimes pull rabbits out of her hat! Tasha, her escrow assistant, is always ready to help and has a good knowledge of the industry and how to get the job done. Jordan is the go-to man when you have a special issue you need help with, and the owner, Steve, is the big Kahuna who will also step in with his kajillion years of experience and sound advise. Steve recently reached out to a seller of mine over the phone to explain an intricately involved transaction to explain in everyday language the lender wasn't performing on time. This company is hands on, they care deeply about their performance and reputation, and most of all they are just super nice and delightful to work with. Barringer Escrow has my forever seller side business! KATHY SMILEY ~ "The Smiley Team" RODEO REALTY Westlake Village, California 805-390-9323 CA DRE 01744774 read more

Absolutely amazing and professional service from Cheryl Wolfe. A very difficult and stressful buyers agent and incompetent buyers lenders loan personnel overcome by Cheryl due to hard work and complete COMPETENCE! Key word here....other than my listing agent and Cheryl all others involved here should not be agents or loan officers.....nuff said. Cheryl always got back to me ASAP, with precise information. The escrow prices are also the best, so this is a rare case where fees are very reasonable but you also get the best service, sadly rare in today's world ! Absolutely recommend Barringer Escrow, you can not go wrong with them and their great staff. read more

I want to buy another house just to use Barringer Escrow again! From my first interactions with them, all the way through the end of the transactions, they were helpful, knowledgeable, thorough and professional. All my questions were answered quickly and they were immensely helpful during the entire process. Thank you Barringer Team for everything! read more

Precise & professional. Expedited my escrow and saved me $$$. Answered any questions or concerns quickly and without any attitude. Pleasure doing business with this company & staff. read more

Worked primarily with May P. at Barringer for the sale of my condo. She was very articulate and prompt at responding both via email and on the phone. A bit of a difficult situation not because of them but instead due to our HOA manager being exceedingly stubborn on multiple points and very hard to work with. May and her team did not ever let up and kept pushing to get things done. Very courteous, very friendly. Would highly recommend. read more

I am a licensed real estate broker and I have used Barringer Escrow as my preferred escrow provider for several years. The level of service and expertise of their team is head and shoulders above the competitions. When escrow companies are a dime-a-dozen, Barringer knows how to differentiate themselves by going the extra mile. When I need something I have a contact, even when it isn't Monday - Friday 9a-5p. Emails are promptly replied to, files are handled correctly, clients are treated respectfully and we only have to talk about something one and it gets done. Not to mention the team is friendly and fun to work with. Barringer is the best in the biz, going anywhere else you're selling yourself short!! read more

Barringer Escrow has been really pleasant to work with in my past 13 transactions. May, Ren and Sara really understands customer services and takes the time to reach out to Sellers and Buyers in helping to answer any questions they may have. They are respectful people and really good at their jobs. Jordan and Drew are excellent with getting the HUD/seller's net sheet at moment notice. They have a great team and go out of their way to be helpful. They have great pricing as well! A+++ and 5 stars for Barringer Escrow! read more

We are trying to close a transaction with Barringer Escrow tomorrow and despite our detailed communication with Daniel regarding preparation for docs (reverse mortgage loan) he had zero sense of urgency. My 82 year old seller has to be moved out of her home by Monday at 6:00pm. Movers have been paid and all arrangements made. Instead of Daniel sticking around after 5;00 to ensure we had docs out tonight he went ghost - not answering phone or email. I spent $1000.00 of my own funds for seller to stay in her home until Monday. Daniel had zero regard for this woman's circumstance. My escrow company goes above and beyond so I'm completely taken back that something that could have been resolved by Daniel in order to close tomorrow was treated as if it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately we didn't get to choose escrow. I called in to try and reach the MANAGER repeatedly and was sent right to Daniels line. My 82 year old client had to be driven to escrow in Costa Mesa from Menifee to sign docs due to this escrows incompetence. She sat there in their office 3 hours waiting for them to figure out how to do a HUD so we could get docs.... AND then my seller had to be driven home -2.5 hours in Orange County traffic. Day 2 after close and we are told commission check will be sent out from OC sometime tomorrow. Worst escrow I've worked with in 22 years read more

We have been referring all of our escrows to Barringer for many years. Barringer is the only company in the real estate industry that we've ever worked with that will go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure things get done. They do not sit around and quibble over whether or not a task falls under their specific list of services.....if something needs to get done in order to move a transaction along, they just do it, no questions asked. This includes working late at night and weekends if necessary. Their attitude always seems to be BIG PICTURE, and LONG TERM.......which is the satisfaction of their clients. I would gladly recommend Barringer to anyone, and do. read more

I am so impressed with the service, competence, communication and overall friendly demeanor (which makes all the difference!) Barringer escrow provides. They really stand out from the crowd. Eduardo is on top of his game and a total team player. If only they were my escrow on every transaction! read more

I am a real estate broker. I have been working with Barringer since 2012. I was going thru 4-5 escrow companies and not satisfied with any of them and then received a marketing call from Jordan. I decided to give Barringer a try and never turned back. I now refer them to other agents. Here is a list of things that make Barringer different from other escrow companies. Not all escrows can do short sales. 1) Jordan specifically does the HUD so you can submit to the S/S bank. He gets this to me in 15 minutes after request. This frees up the escrow officers time to do their job.2) He will help with negotiating a lien if I ask him to. Like an HOA lien, credit card lien, etc. 3) Steve, who is one of the owners will make a personal call to you or the other party's agent to help with any issues that are causing the deal not to close. As a neutral party, he has helped a few of my deals close when I can't get the other agent to cooperate to try to get the deal closed. 4) Instead of saying no, we can't do it, they will assist to find a way to help to get the deal closed. As for the other negative comments on here, all I can say is that a lot of people do not know what the role of an escrow company is. When you don't, it's easy to bash them because they didn't do what you want them to. And sometimes, by law they can't do it. This goes for some real estate agents that are not familiar with short sales either. I've never had a phone call or email not returned. People, be reasonable. If I need something that is a Rush, I ask them nicely if they can do it. And pretty much, Barringer does them for me. A good real estate agent will explain to their clients what the escrow company is there for and what they do and why they get paid for their services. I have been a loan officer, real estate agent and investor, and I try to learn as much as possible to know what escrow and title does because they are all involved in a real estate transaction. So if they ever don't do their jobs, I will let them know. And this is what I have done in the past with the other escrow companies I have used that didn't do their jobs. I have not had this issue with Barringer Escrow whatsoever. They will assist me in whatever way they can when I ask for help because they value my business and make sure I am satisfied and that is what good businesses do. read more

Not the best, but adequate. They got the job done on my recent purchase, but they were very far from a concierge level or that of other escrow agencies I've used before. read more

Having used Barringer Escrow twice this year I am extremely satisfied with the way the transaction progressed. Dan and Sheryl kept me abreast of any significant issues that arose during the process. As real estate agent we rely heavily on the expertise of escrow companies and Barringer Escrow left me feeling confident that our escrow would go smoothly. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. read more

Barringer Escrow is hands down the BEST escrow company I've ever work with. My partner and I have worked with them over 7 years and they only get better. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. We have used many escrow companies over 10 years - none compares to Barringer when it comes to support, service, and especially in resolving complicated matters that may arise. They know how to work out technicalities most escrow companies are neither able nor to willing to do. read more

It's nice to work with people who genuinely care about their job. Barringer has been great ever since I started working with them last year. As an agent, its important for me to have an escrow company that can take care of my files and make my clients happy. Daniel and his people do that better than any I have worked with. There are a few things that have happened recently which really stand out and show their commitment. Generally I am very good with dealing with any kind of people, having closed hundreds of transactions, but on my last transaction there was a selling agent who was....difficult....to say the least. He made things hard on EVERBODY. There were some charges denied by the lender that the other agent was just determined to get paid. I don't think he ever did a short sale before, because he was just impossible to deal with. I forwarded Daniel the last email from the agent and said the deal might be cancelling. dan proceeded to call one of the owners of the esrow company, Steve. Within 15 minutes, Steve called me asking if he could help in any way. He suggested maybe he could step in as a neutral party and speak to the buyers agent and help them understand the situation better. I thought why not, so he called the agent. 40 minutes later, Steve called me back (having spent the entire time talking to the agent) and said he had made the agent happy and explained everything to their satisfaction. That changed things for the rest of the transaction - from then on, the agent stopeed thinking I was trying to rip off his client and we successfully closed two weeks later. Another time around 3 months ago, I had a deal that was a short sale, but for the 2nd lender only. Dan not only answered my question re how the transaction was different, he also had Steve call me, who is a specialist in short sales. Now I have always considered myself to know more than 95% of the agents out there when it comes to short sales, but Steve showed me a few things that I had never thought of AND had a way of explaining things that made them just make sense. Again, he probably spent 45 minutes with me, showing me every last detail and making sure I didn't have any more questions. He never made me feel rushed or seem he had anything else more important than me and my issue. You don't see service like that nowadays. Dan is the same way and its why I give my best recommendation to Barringer escrow. read more

Awesome and awesome....I would love to work with Barringer escrow again when I sell or buy home next time.

Avoid using this escrow company. We had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Daniel, Sok and Esteban. Their inattention to detail (and possible incompetence) caused a delay in the funding of our loan. When we started asking what was going on they tried to make it seem like it was the Lender causing the delay, so I contacted the lender directly (which they clearly didn't think I would do). I then received the string of emails and communications between the lender, title, and escrow. It was abundantly clear that the lender had reached out numerous times for updates - with zero response from Daniel or his crew. It wasn't until the day the loan was scheduled to fund that someone responded. Then the paperwork they created had numerous errors the lender tried repeatedly to get them to correct, but they were slow to respond, and wouldn't correct all the issues. The lender had listed out each and every item that needed correcting and they still got it wrong. The most concerning part is their apparent lack of knowledge of the legal requirements for recording. They tried to submit a package that was missing signatures and had electronic signatures (they needed actual ink / notarized signatures). They are the escrow company - it is their job to know these details. And when you mess up - own it. Don't push it off on to another party and get caught with your pants down later. One additional lesson I learned, is that my real estate agent was a friend with one of the escrow agents (which I'm sure is common). This just exacerbated the problem because when my real estate agent told me it was my lender causing the delays, and told me that the escrow company was doing all they could to get things through the lender...I believed him. It wasn't until I saw the actual communications from my lender that I realized they were just covering up their own mistakes. This caused the relationship with my real estate agent to fall apart because I cannot believe anything he says now. The escrow company being a neutral third party is a farce with this company. read more

awful company used them a few times and never again. They seem to love to upcharge for thier services and take a while to return calls. They are also very unorganized. Dont use them read more

Barringer opened our escrow in late April of 2019, they received all the info on the home which is a mobile home in a coop owned mobile home park then we needed one last document to close and 3 weeks after the lender requested the document they sent us an email saying they would not be able to finish the escrow due to the mobile home park being owned by the homeowners in a coop! Information they have had since opening the escrow which they have had since April and now it's almost July!! No phone call apologizing for their incompetence just an email. I wish they had negative ratings because this office and staff has been the WORST customer service my wife and I have ever experienced. They told the mobile park manager on a Friday they weren't going to complete the escrow but they didn't tell us until the following Wednesday. read more

I have been doing Real estate for 12 Years and its hard to find a good Company but Barringer is hands down the best Escrow Company. They are there 100 percent for me and my clients. They are always available even on weekends to answer my calls and questions. Say no more they are it! Thank you for your great service, dedication and your honesty. read more
