I've been a mortgage banker for over 20 years, and Barbara and James Myers with Coast Cities Escrow are truly among the best in the business. Their communication is exceptional, their efficiency is unmatched, and their warmth and professionalism make every transaction smooth and stress-free. They're not only experts at what they do, they're also genuinely amazing people. If you're looking for a reliable, responsive, and top-tier escrow company, I can't recommend Coast Cities Escrow enough. Shameless plug, I'm now a local broker owner, and Barbara and James easily rank in the top one or two escrow teams I've had the privilege of working with throughout my career. Thank you both for everything you do. Five stars all the way. - Tim Hardin w/ United Modern Mortgage read more

The best escrow I ever worked with in the past 9 years! Super friendly, reliable, professional and responsive! Compare to the most escrow companies which always gives you the hard time to get them, they will never miss your calls.

I truly enjoyed working with the whole team and appreciate all the diligent work and smooth transaction they brought up together! read more

Barbara & James are phenomenal partners in every single transaction! They foresee problems and are more proactive than any other escrow team I've worked with. On top of that, I'm not sure when they sleep because I constantly see emails they sent at 11 at night. Every step of the way, I wouldn't trust my clients to anyone else. read more

Barb and James did an awesome job with our escrow. They were on it with every little thing, keeping my whole family up to date on every development. They answered the phone every time I called and answered every question I had. They also made extra efforts to close escrow quick, we only had 17 days!

I've been in this industry for, gulp, 44+ years - with 23 of those years as a Certified Escrow Officer and Owner of my own DOC escrow company. I understand loyalty.

My experiences with Coast Cities Escrow has been great thanks to Barbara!! I'm surprised there are negative reviews which luckily, I can't relate to. I heard there was a change in management so my review seems to reflect their current change.

Being in the real estate business for 20 plus years, we have worked with many different escrow companies and wanted to say that Barb & James and their team at Coast Cities in Newport Beach are the best. They are extremely responsive to both us and more importantly, our clients. Oh, did we say that they answer their phones and do not send us to voicemail or some assistant who's screening calls. We've been working with them exclusively for about 7 months and are so pleased that we have moved all of our business to them. We've opened 7-8 escrows so far this year with them and have been very pleased with the results! Unlike a lot of escrow companies, we are very comfortable with them interfacing directly with our clients. They are very good at providing any "heads up" to potential issues so that they can be addressed in such a manner that it will not hold up the close of escrow. You can't go wrong using them!! read more

Barbara Myers, new Team Leader for Coast Cities Escrow, sent me a pleasant note to advise she is part of their new escrow management team. I gave a 1-Star review in 2017 after my $2.4 million home sale, where I lost $6K due to a mistake admitted by the previous Coast Cities escrow team, who provided poor service in every category. Barbara's note is the only positive experience associated with the escrow. If Barbara cares about her reputation enough to advise me, then she'll likely care enough about your escrow to manage it well. read more

Barbara and her team at Coast Cities Escrow have been amazing. Barbara has been on top of the transactions and one step ahead of all parties involved. She knows when to put pressure on the lender or any other party that is holding things up. She has amazed me with her customer service and EFFICIENCY! Barbara and Coast Cities Escrow is now my go to for any of my Escrow's. hands down the best Escrow service that I have ever seen! read more

I am a Real Estate Broker and have worked with many Escrow Officers. This time I happen to be the client of The Myers Team of Coast Cities Escrow. All I can say Barbara is very professional and among the few best Escrow officers I have ever worked with. She went extra mile in providing the services She even answered the email after the hours. I really appreciate her help and highly recommend to all Real Estate Professionals as well as home sellers . You won't be disappointed read more

Coast Cities Escrow has been amazing!!! We've been using them for 2 simultaneous escrows that should have been straight forward but have become a bit more complicated. They have handled it with ease and are so wiling to answer all my questions without ever making me feel like it's a silly question. As a newer agent I am so appreciative to have them on my side. They will be my go to escrow company in Orange County from this point forward. read more

Barbara Myers and her Team are phenomenal! The level of service is beyond anything I have ever experienced with any other escrow officer/team. They are proactive, knowledgeable and very professional. I'm glad I've finally found an escrow officer who is always available to me and my clients. I highly recommend Barbara and her team. read more

My experience with this agency has been an absolute pleasure. I worked primarily with Gayle throughout the process of both selling my existing property and in the purchase of my new property. I also worked closely with Julie in Gayle's absence, further solidifying my experience as purely positive and smooth until completion. Not only did they educate, assist, and direct me through every step of this process seamlessly, but caught any discrepancies, came up with creative solutions, and advocated for my best interest at every turn. I felt confidant throughout the entire process and am very happy that my trust was so well placed. I truly felt taken care of and whole heartedly recommend Gayle, Julie, and Coast Cities Escrow. read more

Closed another amazing Escrow with Team Myers. As always they were proactive and let me know that there was some issues With the loan as per the underwriter. When I called the loan officer and the buyers agent to find out what was going on they had no idea there was even a problem. Thanks to Team Myers and their attention to detail and incredible follow up we were able to rectify the problem and close escrow a day early. Huge Thanks!!!! read more

If I had to give negative review, I would. I don't write reviews but to help the public not waste time, stress, and money, NEVER EVER WORK with this company! Daniel is correct, they charge way too much for what they do... and when you want to change company, it is too late since the escrow has a 30day expiration. Issues I had with them: 1. Horrible communication. They are never clear on what is missing, what the issues are that is causing the delay, and what can be done to resolve the block. I asked for information, they said they will send in the evening, I waited and nothing until the next morning. This occurred many times with many documents and update request. We had to sign documents, multiple times, at 7-9pm in order to make deadlines. 2. Horrible time/schedule management. Waits until deadlines pass before communications. Communicates after hours when delivery services are closed or when people are having dinner. I received a call at 9:44pm, telling me it won't close if x, y, z, doesn't occur... Really? Calling me at that time for what? So I can't sleep well? I was forced to "work" 24/7 to accommodate their delays. 3. Does not take ownership on tasks (Blames Others for her delays). Claims they did not receive required documents but they were clearly sent to them via email. They were not pro-active in ensuring required documents were acquired in a timely manner. They blamed lender, agent, and buyer all the delays when it was clearly on the escrow's end. Every conversation I had, was 'they (lender, agent, or buyer) ' need to do this 'NOW' or else you will not close. We almost lost our house because of their delayed service. It came down to the last minute of the last day before where the bank and county records were waiting on the documents. Lender, Agent, and us worked day and night getting missing documents because escrow failed to complete them in a timely manner. God bless the lender and agent who worked just as hard as us to push the escrow company to do their job. Buyers and agents beware, do not use this escrow service! Ever! Ever! Coast Cities Escrow is TERRIBLE and EVIL! They really want to make your life miserable... stressing you out, aging you... inserting 'hate' into your hearts... DO NOT WORK WITH THEM! Even for less money, go somewhere else. read more

I have worked with James & Barb for years and they are the best! A true partner that always works hard to get things done right and quickly for the client which is so much appreciated when it comes to closing a transaction. Very knowledgeable and experienced and knows how to navigate through any issues that could possibly arise with a closing. They are the GO TO Escrow team for me and my clients. read more

I just closed another transaction with Team Meyers and they were great as usual! Please know that the bad reviews seen here are not from Barb and James. They are reviews from the people that worked there before Team Meyers worked there. Barb and James go out of their way to answer questions for me and my clients. They have routinely been patient and willing to do whatever they can to assist all parties to the deal. I highly recommend their services! read more

Barbara Myers and her Team at Coast Cities Escrow provide superior customer service. I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism. They are extremely knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Barbara is always available to answer any questions that I or my clients may have at any time and will never keep you waiting/wondering. She meets and exceeds my expectations in each and every transaction. I use their services every chance I get. If anyone is in need or considering a new Escrow company to work with, I highly recommend Barbara and her Team at Coast Cities Escrow. read more

I was ready to try a new escrow company for my listings and was referred to Coast Cities Escrow. Barbara and her team at Coast Cities Escrow were absolutely amazing and if I could give them 10 stars I would...seriously. Barbara is extremely helpful with all parties involved and goes above and beyond to make it a smooth transaction. She gets an A plus in her communication and organization. Her entire team is professional, knowledgeable and always available when needed, which isn't what I was used to with my other escrow companies. She is now my forever escrow gal as a listing agent and I would absolutely refer them to anyone looking for an exceptional escrow company. You will not be disappointed. read more

Apparently, I share a very similar experience to everyone else that has commented here. My experience was horrendous. They claimed that all of my e mails were lost in their spam - yet they did not check their spam. They also claim that they did not receive my phone calls. I would avoid these guys like the plague. I just changed my escrow to Granite Escrow and I am confident that I will have a better experience and results. read more

Barb and James are super great and know the escrow business. They got me through a very complicated escrow involving a trust, reverse mortgage company that would not provide information and an HOA that was hell to work with. Barb never loses her temper, but that Reverse Mortgage company was the exception. Despite all the problems, we managed to close earlier than the thirty day time frame in the RPA. Will definately continue to use them. Cliff Swan read more

Avoid them! - They are not professional. Miss phone call appointments, don't return calls. - They charge more than what has been agreed. - They charge even for fees that you have paid directly to third parties. - They are supposed to pay off the seller within hours of the county recordings. They don't, and may keep funds for days. - The Newport Branch Manager, JP, is rude, cuts the conversation all the time, has not even learned to apologize for wrong doing. How arrogant! One star review is too much for Coast Cities Escrow. read more

Team Myers has been nothing but GREAT! Very punctual, pleasant and know their business! I have been in the business 33 years, This is my 1st time using them and I will definitely use them again and again! So glad I found Team Myers! I look forward to many more transactions together. read more

i`m not happy with this co. at all ,the charge $6400.00 to do the escrow and i have to all the foot work and they charged for their notary. i used ditech mortgage last time and never left my home for anything , they came to me and cheaper too. read more

UNORGANZED! This office appears to be very small. Julie Parker is Branch Manager, but when she is out of the office, the other girl in the office is clearly not in the loop. The entire transaction I had to 'babysit' each day, as a Realtor, it is the duty of the escrow company not the Realtor to supply amendments, etc. Julie relies on the Realtor to be her assistant to the transaction. Then, the closing package hasn't arrived a week after the actual close date...really?! Do your clients a favor and save the energy you will have to put into working with this office. read more
