We moved from Baltimore to the Rockville, Maryland area. Initially we started by trying to find a…read morehouse by ourselves using Zillow and Redfin. That was a big mistake and total waste of time! We got nowhere. Then we found John. John sat down with us and helped us define the exact home that we wanted. This takes more effort than you might think. Within two weeks we found it. And John helped us beat 7 other offers to get the house we liked. Two of those offers were for more money than us! Then he helped us through the negotiation, inspection, and settlement phases. He was there holding our hand through all of it. He knew the area, he knew good contractors, and he knew how to get things done. Now we have a lovely single home in the Twin Brooke area, and we love it. And to think we never even got to meet our agent with Redfin! Bottomline: don't waste your time, go with John.

I contacted Mortgage Experts after being pre-approved for a home loan with Rocket Mortgage and…read moreafter getting under contract on our dream home we were told that they could not move forward due to something that didn't make sense. I decided to try several other lenders because I knew that we should still be able to be approved and the thing that was stopping Rocket Mortgage would not stop another lender. Marcus was very understanding of the urgency to get approved and on to closing as soon as possible as our closing date was less than a month away at that time. I got everything to him right away and he was able to get us pre-approved with another lender. Throughout the process, however, the communication definitely left alot to be desired. In some ways the communication was great (website to check status, weekly email updates to all involved parties, direct phone number to Marcus), but in other ways it was not great as these things only work as well as they are setup or he's available so I would have difficulty getting in touch as the contracted closing date was approaching. The sellers gave us an extension and as that date approached I had difficulty reaching Marcus or was told that we'd get approval or an update over and over and over and over and we still never received it. It felt like we were being given the run-around or generic answers even though things were obviously delayed and not the way he was updating us that it would be. The lender that he chose for us just so happen to be taking longer than they had before, apparently, and his answers were not expressing this, maybe because he didn't realize it until we were delayed more than he expected. All in all, eventually we received the approval and closed on our dream house. The anxiety was already at an all time high because of the unique situation we were in and fear that the sellers were about to move on if we were delayed any more. The lack of communication and and lack of being honest about what was really going on would normally make me never use a company again, but I could tell that Marcus and his partners meant well, and his personality was bright and optimistic despite, which is why I'm rating them 3 stars instead of 2. With a different communication approach they would have easily been a 4 or 5 star rating. But with this being the biggest purchase we've ever done and stress level on ridiculous I really did need that better communication. I may try them again to refinance since they were aware of these issues and may have made improvements since then. If so I'll review again. -Lovergirl654

To All at Emkay Title -…read more We have reached a milestone, in my eyes, in our new home, and our cup had runneth over. This New Year's Day is our first here, and we still cannot believe our good fortune in celebrating this day wrapped in security. That night, as the clock began the countdown to January 1st, my daughter came to me with tears glistening in her eyes, and without saying a word, I knew. Her smile said, "Thank you, Mom, for giving us something all our own. And for giving your granddaughter her own space, her own bed, her own room with a view." And I will never forget my husband's words, "I think this is probably the happiest day of my life. This moment, this day, was meant to be - for us, for our family." And again, as I have done many times since our big move, I thought of each of you in this tiny company. Thank you, Keisha, for your guidance, for the many phone calls to ensure that I was kept informed at all times, for showing me how to fulfill a dream with what little I had, and for your seemingly tireless, non-stop quest to lead me and my family to where we are today. Thank you, Melissa, for your wonderful smile, your ever present glow, for not giving up on me and my numerous demands. It was a thrill to get the final package from you. I remember the little rush of warmth inside me at the little smiley face you drew on the envelope. And thank you to the beautiful young lady at the front desk, Roxie. Thank you for your incomparable high quality of customer service, for your deep reservoir of patience. You are the voice of Emkay, and your dedication to your company shows through and through. You rock, young lady, and don't you let anyone ever, ever tell you any different. I know that there were many more people that were involved in this whole process - real estate agents, lenders, underwriters - that you at Emkay have handpicked to help me out. I owe my gratitude to them, too, and I am grateful that Emkay has chosen you to walk me through this journey. What I want to say to you all is this - anyone that does not see the integrity and value of the hard work you do every single day probably needs to get a job at the White House so they can truly understand what it means to be incompetent. Because that, my darlings, is not you. Whenever I hear of a friend, family member, or co-worker that is looking to buy a new house, I tell them, "Look up Emkay Title. I promise you a painless ride to your new destination." Again, thank you, from my family to yours. A toast to you all, and may you find prosperity, good health, and lots and lots of customers this coming year. We Are and Always Will Be Your Humble Servants, Peggye Washington and Family, Homeowners P.S. Yes, I am copying and pasting this on Yelp, and everywhere else I can find you on the internet. XOXOXO
