Called 911, ran outside and yelled for him to leave. He never said who he was, or who he was working for, it was only after I walked to the road to make sure he had left my property that I saw the truck. Several days later received a letter stating they have the legal right to enter my property. Would have been fine with this had they knocked on my front door(I have ring cameras , I didn't miss a knock) Now neighbor relations are strained and I was extremely frightened.

He got back to me right away, and in the preliminary investigation he did in order to generate a quote, he found a survey the neighbor had previously done, forwarded the map from that to me, and hinted that I probably didn't actually need to do another survey.

After taking a week to look at the plans, he became defensive seeing that another company had already surveyed the entire project at suggested that we use them instead of him. He also commented that he would not be available for the month of October after he spent so much time looking at the plans.

The county retained Bowman & Williams (B&W) to do preliminary damage evaluations in the disaster area. We were required to obtain 3 quotes to qualify for state and federal disaster relief. B&W offered the required survey and construction design services and always came in with a competitive price. As work actually got underway an alphabet soup of regulatory agencies, FEMA, CA OES, WRCB, F&W, made various demands that impacted the design and B&W always responded quickly to keep the projects on schedule. With all the regulatory hurdles, permits, construction bids and county construction requirements it took until FY 2024-2025 to complete the last project and Bowman & Williams stuck with us thru the last bit of paving and the last guardrail.

I called to confirm our appointment for Thursday with DeeDee and she acted as if she couldn't…read morebelieve I called and how dare me! I also asked if we can sign outdoors due to Covid concerns, and her response was "It's supposed to rain on Monday." I replied that we are signing on THURSDAY. She responded with "Well, I don't want to be signing papers out in the rain." Snarky attitude noted, DeeDee. So, we'll be taking our business and FEES that we pay to the title company to a different branch. FYI, there's a 3% chance of rain for Thursday, there's a higher % chance of rain as I write this - and it is NOT raining. Way to make excuses so you don't have to actually deal with customers! They get one star because I called at 4:45 pm on a Friday and she picked up the phone. But my guess is that DeeDee won't be making that mistake again!

For a title company they are very shady about their title work!…read more Chicago Title prepared unrecorded grant deeds to transfer ownership between the sellers and other parties while we were in contract and refused to give us copies of the deeds "since they were personal deeds". Jeanie O'Connor kept saying it will be okay, don't worry about it, we record grant deeds to add or remove sellers right at close all the time. The sellers also disclosed in their disclosures that there was a lien on the property for a Code Violation with the county but it was addressed. The preliminary title report dated August 16th and prepared by Jeanie O'Connor didn't include the matter so we thought it was resolved. It was never disclosed to my buyer or myself that it was not resolved from title until the listing agent slipped up and mentioned to me 2 business days before the close of escrow that she had to run down to the county and get the lien cleared herself. They also refused to close because they waited until 2 days before the close of escrow to check the Statement of Information for my buyer against liens and judgement and some potential matches were found. Only when I told them that the buyer is due a courtesy credit for their late handling of the title work that they let the file close with some affidavits from the buyer. I can't figure out for the life of me why agents or clients ever chose to work with this corporation!
