The experience was streamlined,…read moreextremely professional, and they did plenty of hand holding and explaining the process from start to finish in language we could understand and feel comfortable with. Unfortunately due to changes in our life situation, we were no longer in a position to purchase the home.

Do not trust Williams Homes to stand behind their warranty. I submitted a valid cabinetry repair…read morerequest well within the two-year fit and finish warranty. Their team acknowledged the issue, sent contractors to assess, and even took a cabinet door to match for replacement. The work stalled, and they never completed it. Deborah Correa, their VP of Warranty, was involved throughout the process but became increasingly unresponsive and dismissive. After years of follow-up, she suddenly claimed Williams Homes had no responsibility and referred me to an outside risk consultant who has done nothing to resolve the issue. This is a clear case of warranty mismanagement and a deliberate attempt to avoid accountability. All communication came from Williams Homes. They handled everything until I escalated the complaint. Now they are trying to rewrite the facts and shift blame. Save yourself the frustration. Their homes may look nice, but once you close, the support disappears.

I had an excellent experience with Powerhouse Escrow, especially with escrow officer Rose Lucero…read more She is very pleasant, professional, and highly knowledgeable. Rose explained every step clearly, stayed on top of all the details, and kept everyone informed, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Her responsiveness, organization, and calm, friendly attitude gave me full confidence from start to finish. I highly recommend Powerhouse Escrow and Rose Lucero and would gladly work with her again.

I am a first-time home buyer and this company was chosen by my seller. When they first sent me…read moredocuments, my name was spelled wrong. I pointed it out and they said it was not a big deal and they would fix it. Well, my grant deed arrives in the mail and I'm all excited and what do I see? That same typo in my name. All the excitement about being a first-time homeowner really gets drained when you realize someone named "Dafna" actually owns your home. They did correct the error for me, but I had to pay my own notary fees since I'm not available to go to their office, which is nowhere near my office, during business hours. Flash forward a few months later and I'm working with a lawyer on some estate planning documents. And what does she find? ANOTHER ERROR ON MY GRANT DEED! They actually put the wrong APN. That's a HUGE problem. And again, I'm on the hook for my own notary fees unless I want to take time off from work (which would cost me more than the notary fees.) Attention to detail is so important in every job, but especially in this line of work. I'm very, very disappointed and this company made the already stressful home-buying process much worse.

Rarely do I find an…read moreEscrow Company like Ridgegate Escrow in Valencia that impressively have their act fully together. Jeff Sands, Escrow Officer is a great Manager, along with his team. They are responsive to the needs of the customers (buyers and sellers) and the agents and transaction coordinators etc. that are involved. Jeff works 24/7 and has responded to my questions even during late evening hours and weekends. They're all knowledgeable, organized and dependable- even during a pandemic. There are many examples to support my 5 Star Rating, including the latest example of my seller that closed escrow while realizing that he had paid his property taxes beyond the close of escrow timeframe and needed a refund. Jeff Sands stepped up to the plate and was able to get the overpay returned to my seller in a timely fashion and notifying him how much and when to expect the overpay reimbursement. Ridgegate Valencia is a 5 Star Escrow Company that truly cares!

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to be involved in many real estate transactions across…read moreSouthern California and the Bay Area. Along the way, I've worked with numerous escrow companies--each with its own strengths and shortcomings. Some were decent, others not worth mentioning. But every so often, one stands out in a way that leaves a lasting impression. Capstone Escrow is that company. What makes Capstone exceptional isn't just the pricing--though their rates are fair and competitive. It's the way they do business that sets them apart. Every transaction feels like a priority. Every detail is double-checked, every milestone is acknowledged, and every party involved--no matter their role--is kept fully informed at every step. There's a level of coordination and communication that simply doesn't exist in most escrow experiences. One of the most impressive aspects is how they treat timelines. Whether it's a standard 30-day close or a tight contingency window, you can trust that Capstone will meet those deadlines with accuracy and professionalism. It often feels like there's a dedicated team of ten working behind the scenes on just one file--yours. That's how seamless and dialed-in their operation is. And while the process itself is handled with technical excellence, there's also a human element that can't be overlooked. Velia and Brenda, two of Capstone's escrow officers, bring a rare combination of competence and care. They're not just responsive--they're proactive. I can't count how many times I've received updates or confirmations from them before I even thought to reach out. Their professionalism is consistent, their communication is clear, and their tone is always balanced--firm when needed, kind when possible. In an industry where silence, confusion, and last-minute surprises are far too common, working with Capstone feels like discovering a secret that only a few are lucky enough to know.

We were concerned that our condo will not sell because of the age of the building and appearance. Also, we were not sure if the condo will sell quickly because of other condos for sale and being that we purchased another house already. Nick and Mike explained how the market trends are and suggested strategies and ways to list our property. They really pulled through for us. We received an offer within a month of listing. Nick and Mike informed us of any update on the sale of our property in a timely manner. When we contacted them for any questions, they responded efficiently with the information we needed from them. We believe because of their experience, our property sold above asking price and closed in a timely manner. They used their expertise from pricing, negotiating and closing escrow. They took the time to explain in detail their process and knowledge in the field from the time we met them when we were looking for an agent to the sale of the property. We will definitely recommend Nick and Mike. We are confident they will deliver quality service to our family and friends, as they have done for us.

From the first meeting we had in determining what…read moretype of home I was looking for to the conversation I had today with Danielle about closing escrow, the McKean team has surpassed my expectations. They were extremely methodical about choosing the right home, in the right neighborhood with the right amount of mortgage payments. Every step was explained to me clearly and concisely. When I was in the process of finding a home, Dave was very knowledgeable of the Santa Clarita Valley, and every neighborhood was explained to me and how it related to what I was looking for. His expertise enabled me to find a home on our third meeting and I am now a couple of days from closing escrow. As a first time home buyer, I didn't fully know what I was getting myself into. But as I progressed each step, everything was explained to me and I was informed thoroughly and was enabled to make the best decision possible. Dave and Danilelle were very quick to answer my questions and texts. I had a considerable amount of questions because this whole process was completely new for me. I did not feel at any time that they weren't available or weren't willing to answer my questions. The home buying process with the McKean team has been fun, exciting, and smooth. I've recommended them to just about everyone I know. I highly recommend them. And aside from them being very capable in real estate, they are very kind people.
