We quickly found out why they are the title company of choice by our realtor. When we were signing documents they were very explicit about what each document was for. They walked us through what we should expect and the time frame for when we should expect it. They also kept us abreast of what we needed to do in order to ensure a smooth transaction. With such a big transfer of money, it's great to have a company that goes above and beyond to make sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

This can be a very confusing process with the debt to income ratio of my LLC as well as being stationed in California but wanting to buy a house for my family in our state of residence. I worked with 4 different lenders and Heckman Mortgage was the company that fought for me to get the loan while others thought it to be too complicated or couldn't happen. For this, I owe Heckman Mortgage my gratitude for getting me the house I will enjoy for decades to come. Hire them is a must!

They provided us with the correct contract to used the would protect both sides of the transaction. Advised us on everything we needed and made sure there were no liens on the property we were purchasing. We purchased the property from an elderly lady who doesn't go out much so Deborah was kind enough to drive all the way from Tampa to Ellenton, Florida to do the closing with her. Communication with great with Deborah since we were first time investors we had a lot of questions and they were answered very timing. We were always in the know with these ladies and appreciate all of their help. Eventually we sold the property and was able to closed within 2 weeks with our buyer. We couldn't have asked a smoother transaction. Beyond 5 stars to Title Providers and I am highly recommending this team for any of your real estate need.

Very unresponsive... Listing Agent was CLUELESS!…read more n addition to her overall obvious lack of knowledge or interest in the house, as well as her "I'm too busy for you" attitude when our agent DID speak to her, there were issues before we were even able to submit an offer: before offer: She told my agent that she already had an offer that she hadn't looked at because she had so much paperwork and that she "had people coming" - we didn't know what that meant We asked for the seller disclosure - multiple times - no response We asked regarding details about the house - age of some of the items and such. We asked about the microwave as it was listed, but not seen in person or in the pics - she had no idea We asked for the title company information - this delayed us by most of a day because we were unable to get this information in order to submit the offer. Even when we finally received the title company name so we could submit the offer - it was not complete. Our agent put in a call to the brokerage office AGAIN... since she got no response from the agent, but AGAIN could only leave a message... To which there was AGAIN no response.. After the offer was submitted: We AGAIN asked for seller disclosure - listing agent ignored that, sent the full name and address of the title company (too little too late), and just stated that she had received our offer. Acknowledging our offer was brief but it was the only courtesy extended without having to ask. Our agent AGAIN tried to reach someone at the brokerage - STILL no response Offer had a deadline of EOD 12/9. We heard NOTHING until the 10th, despite numerous texts, emails, and calls to the listing agent from my agent. Late on 12/9 or early 12/10, our agent finally called and left a message to say that we had rescinded our offer because the deadline had passed and we felt that the listing agent's lack of response was unprofessional and discourteous.... And we knew we would likely get no response anyway. On 12/10, the listing agent FINALLY responded with a phone call, and wasn't even sure which agent she called (I.e., my agent). My agent asked if the listing agent saw her multiple and varied attempts to reach her. Listing agent said she was unaware of any attempt at communication because she "didn't know how to work her new phone". The listing agent had to ask my agent why they were even speaking then... Basically, she wasn't even sure why she was returning my agent's call. Eventually, listing agent disclosed that she had multiple offers - and that she was having trouble reaching the buyer whose offer they were accepting (not my offer...which was more than fine at this point)... Listing agent DID say that if anything changed she'd call us - but we know this won't happen as it was obvious she didn't even know to whom she was speaking! If you are looking for a listing agent... Think twice about this agency... Not only was the agent representing their client clueless and unresponsive, but apparently, the office personnel (owner?) is uninterested in responding to buyers as well.

I don't believe that they have much interest in selling or helping you buy any property that does not make them a very fat commission. I believe they treat anybody in the lower range like dirt. They never once gave me an opinion on the units I was looking at, but yet proceeded to tell me that I'm not letting them help me when they did nothing. In my experience, I would never recommend these people and I think maybe they're burnt out and I understand that happens, but I can't make that my problem. They will also tell you they're very busy and did not bother them in so many words.
