No way! I do believe the real Estate agent who works at Remax owns this establishment. She forces the buyers to use this escrow or she will not sell to them. This place is curuot. . Totally not reliable and not a good reliable trustworthy busisness. I'm surprised that are still Open. Fake signatures, fake documents. Big time fraud! . read more

We were forced to use Legacy First Escrow by the Seller's agent. The first red flag was that the escrow officer we were assigned to wouldn't disclose the escrow fee, even though we sent several requests in writing. After all the contingencies of the transaction were removed and we were obligated to move forward, then the company disclosed fees of over $4 per $1000 purchase price. Absurd! The service was terrible, the escrow agent could not be reached and did not respond to phone calls. Closing took 1 and a half days AFTER the company received the final wire transfer. This is the worst escrow company!! Avoid it!! read more

Purchased a home in Southern CA, the seller used Legacy First Escrow, Inc. They charged buyers over $4 per $1000. This is the highest percentage escrow fee I have ever seen and their service is just so-so, nothing better, nothing special, I will never use this escrow in my whole life again. read more

Stephanie didn't even bother to send in the paperwork for my grant deed, only found out by accident It has not been sent to be recorded.. Ask for my escrow fees back and was told they would be returned and yet they never did. This is an extremely unprofessional company I highly recommend you do not retain them read more

Lack timely communication skills, not closing on time due to their inability to get us the closing documents for signature on time.

Legacy First Escrow and the escrow officer Norma Herrera handled the escrow for a condo in Ontario I sold. She took my calls and responded to all emails quickly. She is exactly want you want in an escrow officer. Thanks again! read more

I highly recommend working with Maria Barragan. As a funder, I deal with many different escrow personnels, and I would rate her as one of my favorite to work with. She will go beyond what is recommended of her. We were able to close all the loans on time because of all her hard work and dedication. You will not be disappointed working with her. I highly recommend using her as your next escrow agent. read more

Rates here are very good! This company works with several real estate agencies; of which you have no choice but to use their service. There must be kickbacks involved here; so just keep that in mind if you are strictly against those sorts of things. The customer service (currently) isn't nearly as bad as what I've heard it to be; they must have gotten their act together already. Building is maintained impeccably well both inside & out; they say cleanliness is next to godliness - can't disagree there! Also a lot of people are concerned about scams and overcharging in regards to closings; you WILL NOT have that issue here; as this place has a lot of strict oversight attached to it. read more

Maria Barragan Took over my last 4 recent escrows. 1 was a very complicated transaction. She knew what special paperwork was required and knew how to handle it. She is knowledgeable, awesome, and amazing when it comes to communications, accuracy, and deadlines. She went above and beyond making sure all required documentation was done on all 4 escrows. She was very patient and accommodating to the buyers and sellers. Thanks to her experience, knowledge, and professionalism all 4 of my escrows closed on time. I look forward to working with her on my future transactions. I highly recommend l her. read more

Poor communication, overpriced services, staff run away instead of addressing problems. So not use this escrow company

Had a terrible experience with them, with no return of phone calls or emails. I've dealt with other escrow companies who were very slow in getting the work done, but they would at least answer phone calls and say "I'm sorry for the delay, but I'm working on it". It's still delaying, but it makes all the difference in the world to buyers and sellers who are anxious about the process. Escrow fees charged were more than any other companies I dealt with. read more

Terrible escrow company with SO many mistakes that it's laughable all the way down to the notary the unprofessionalism displayed was horrendous. Unorganized, never on time, and a nightmare for lenders to work with. Jackie Weaver was the agent assigned to us which we were never able to get a hold of and had way too many mistakes in such an important process with ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. Stay away!!! read more

Karla Casco is the best she is a great Escrow Officer she jumps through hoops to close our escrows fast, Thank You, Distress Home Buyers read more

This is a horrible escrow company. Norma Herrera is an unprofessional person that shouldn't been working there. I would call her and she wouldn't want to answer my calls. She would have the other girls in the office relay her response to me. When I went into the office to sign papers, she didn't have the professionalism to introduce herself. Especially when we were sitting next to her office. She knew we were there because the Notary girl asked her a question for me. My brothers and I were very disappointed with Norma. I hope she considers leaving this profession. If she's too busy and cannot handle the work load she should be fired. Her client deserve better service from her. Afterall, we did pay her for her services. I WILL NOT refer any of my family or friends to this office. read more

Very bad experience working with Norma Herrera, as a Real Estate agent I will definitely not working with her and this Legacy First Escrow again. A check needed to be re-issued, I mailed the original check back to Norma on 7/19/2019, on 8/16 Norma email said they received the check and will re-issue, almost one month after I sent the check to her, and up till now 9/2 almost one and a half month, I still have not received the check yet. This is a simple job, but she could take so long, horrible service! read more

Upland Office Very poor communication with my team as a buyer. My realtor and loan agent had to continually contact escrow to obtain information to move forward in my purchase. Everything was completed on our and we were ready to close by a certain date but escrow failed to do their piece. They did not return calls and correspondence in a timely matter and we were not able to close on time because escrow was ill prepared. read more

Best service ever. I have worked with lots of escrow companies and only a hand full have ever made my transaction easy, they are always on top of their game, they really surpassed my expectations. I remember sending an e-mail not once but twice over the weekend and they actually answered them I was trilled to hear back from them not once but twice, Norma the escrow officer said to me "no worries I know you need this" the second time I sent an email over the weekend, Kira the escrow Assitant, replied to let me know she would make sure I received what I needed first thing Monday morning, and I did received it. So grateful to finally have found not only a good bit a great escrow company For sure they will have my business every time read more

Absolutely WORST escrow company. Norma was our escrow officer. For an escrow officer, she is either uneducated as to how to read contracts and work with lenders or her pride makes it difficult for her to accept corrections - at the detriment of the transaction. Her communication is less than subpar. She refuses to communicate with all parties in a transaction. Says she's going to send documents and never does. Zero customer service skills... an embarrassment. I don't know how they remain in business when there are so many escrow companies that far out perform this company by leaps and bounds. Escrow reflects the agents that recommend them - so the reflection on both is no bueno. I hope I don't have to work with this bunch of.... again. read more

Never ever use this escrow company, they're just bunch of incompetence low IQ people who do not know what they're doing!!! Arghhhh I'm extremely annoyed over something that they should know better.., The reality is....they need to know how to differentiate 2 different people with the same last name!!, ok sooo just because someone has the same last name with you, doesn't mean you are that person! As simple as that!!!! read more

We had recently closed a property with Legacy First Escrow. I had the chance to work with Norma and Kira and the majority of my inquiries were done via email throughout the closing process. They addressed all my questions and concerns very promptly through the closing process, and I did not have a single bad experience working with them. When it comes to closing, teamwork and close communication is very important and as a client, I felt their services were well handled. read more

Worse escrow experience in a long while. Norma is lazy and incompetent. These people lie and will not be reliable. If you're looking for professionalism look somewhere else. read more

They were not my choice on the purchase of my home. Sorry to say their service was very poor, phone call and e-mails were not returned. I received my documents misspelled, names and addresses. I called and told them several times and still continued to receive them incorrect. It has been two months now and they have not resolved the matter. I spoke to a manager and she said she understood my frustration. But I'm sorry shouldn't buying a home be a great experience? This was a living nightmare. I will make sure to never use them again.

I highly recommend Legacy First Escrow. I have worked with Norma on many different transactions since 2004 and have had nothing but great service from her and her staff. She recently closed another transaction for us and the service was wonderful. thank you read more
