She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

When it comes to people skills & salesmanship, I don't think I have encountered anyone in the real…read moreestate industry as impressive as people at Gemini. But when it comes to integrity, their practices are very ummmm questionable, if not outright fraudulent. Before I got into this real estate transaction, I had my dream team trio (Best real estate agent, best loan officer, best settlement office/attorney) which I had been using for numerous transactions for decades and would trust them with my life. Armed with that, my lowball offer on an REO property got accepted, only because I could close within 14 days or less (been doing that for almost a decade). And here's when I was introduced to Gemini.... I received a phone call from Gemini right after I get my ratified contract telling me that they are handling the seller's side, and if I use them, I would save thousands on buyer's title insurance (which was a lie, it was a lot less than that), and since everything is almost done on their side, they can close as soon as I want them to close (another lie). I confirmed if they can close within 10 days, and their exact response was "if your lender can close tomorrow, we can close tomorrow!" (It is scientifically and legally impossible to do that, and I take part of the blame for not sensing this lie/sales tactic). And everything would be smoother without any hiccups (it could actually be true if Gemini was competent settlement office).... So I went with them... BIG MISTAKE... Fast forward, my lender took care of her part in a week, 48 hours prior to the closing, when I get my disclosures from my lender, I call Gemini to confirm, and find out they haven't even gotten started on their part.... And don't know when they can get started... Or tell me for sure how long it could take, maybe weeks, maybe months, they are just busy at this time. Their reason: The person you spoke with at Gemini was not aware of the closing process or our workload. His job is to earn your business! We apologize for the inconvenience and we make sure we will have a staff meeting regarding this issue. The result: The closing got delayed, went past my rate lock, I lost lots of time from my day job, had to reschedule all the contractors, I lost out on the ability to close in the summer time which was exactly a $17,700 loss (in future REI income), an unwinterized REO stayed vacant and open for an extended period of time (when I finally took possession, the windows were busted and most of the appliance were gone, go figure...). The icing on the cake: There were major (10+) violations that they failed to discover/disclose during title search which I'm still trying to fix (the primary job of a settlement company)

I made an offer on a home recently (and ultimately purchased) and First Class Title reached out to…read moreme and indicated that the bank that was selling the home would cover a significant amount of the owner title insurance if I chose them to perform the title work and closing with them. I did. Mistake. HUGE mistake. The home was a foreclosure and because of that, my mortgage broker and real estate agent insisted that specific language be inserted into the contract. At the heart of this, there were 2 issues: 1.) The entity that owned the home, had deeded the property to another entity. So to ensure that I was purchasing the property from the correct entity, language needed to be put in the contract via an addendum indicating who had the deed and who was the actual seller. 2.) Language needed to be removed from the contract that would allow the seller to make document modifications AFTER the closing had taken place. Both of these requests took WEEKS to be completed. Each request was a one pager to be included with the contract. As a result, we didn't close ontime and we almost lost my interest rate lock. The contract changes were the kind of stuff that someone could complete in 10 minutes or less. It was only because of my tenacious mortgage broker and real estate agent that we were able to have a successful closing a couple days late. It was the first mortgage in over 20 years my mortgage broker didn't close on time with. First Class Title is massively disorganized, rude and forgetful. Multiple times we were told we would have the documents at a certain time...only to have to call them up and ask them where the documents were...and only to have to re-explain why we were calling and who we were. If they offer to pay part of your closing costs (title insurance)....DON'T TAKE THE OFFER. You're better off avoiding these people, paying the extra money and having a less stressful closing. Their website says "Your real estate closing on your new home or commercial property shouldn't be a grind!". My experience with them was definitely a grind...in a bad way. The old adage of ....you get what you pay for.....definitely applies here. Avoid them at all costs!!!!!
