COVID really made my wife and I know that we needed a larger home. So, we spoke with several…read morequalified and highly recommended agents. Chris Palamidessi's name had come up a few times with friends - who loved working with him. After speaking with all the agents, we knew that Chris was the perfect fit for us. He was very honest and open in his communications - something we truly value. Chris explained how he likes to handle the selling and buying process in an easy to understand way. He was there to give us advice and make sure we were fully comfortable with the process along the way. Texting and calling us in the evening and weekends - and maybe even more importantly, to give us status updates in real-time. With Chris's expert guidance we had a crazy amount of views on our home, including multiple offers - all over asking. When looking over the offers, Chris really broke them down in a way that was easy to understand. In the end, Chris was there to answer our questions and really help us understand each offer, so we could choose the best offer for our situation. Chris really listened to our needs for a new home and kept his ear to the ground. The day that we signed our offer for the home that we sold, Chris called us with an amazing opportunity for our future home. He learned of a home that was coming on the market and arranged for us to view the home. He was able to navigate the buying process and worked hard to help us have virtually no gap between our homes. His connections with lenders, inspectors, appraisers, title companies made it easy for us to complete all the necessities in a quick timeframe. He really did all the work, including explaining everything along the way. He even took the time to make sure that my wife was comfortable and not nervous during the process. We would highly recommend working with Chris and his team at Captial West Realty. Truly professionals, who care about their clients.

Waited two weeks for a response to a request to open title and escrow. The assigned escrow officer…read moredidn't read anything sent to her and was less than candid when confronted about her lack of communication and response. She then emailed the parties that Placer Title couldn't open escrow because "the volume right now is preventing me to spend the additional time for this order." Beyond reflecting an attitude more than a stone's throw short of professionalism, the escrow officer's response is entertaining for a couple of reasons. First, actually reading documents is apparently "additional time" and going above and beyond for the escrow officer- she clearly had not read anything in the two weeks that the agents and I had been sending her information. Second, the escrow officer sent her email after we had decided to open escrow at another company (specifically based upon her conduct and attitude), the new escrow had been opened and sale documents exchanged. I have used other offices of PTC and have nothing but good things to say about their level of service. I would not recommend PTC's Fair Oaks office under any circumstance based upon my experience.

This is my 7 or 8th time dealing with a title company for personal transactions and maybe 50-60th time when counting work related dealings so I'm somewhat aware of what they can do and how they do things. Probably the worst experience so far. I'd highly suggest going to one of their other offices or another company completely.

Whenever I emailed him with a question (which was a lot), he always either responded to the email within minutes, or called me back right away. With a different mortgage company a few years ago, I often had issues with getting a response (especially to the "dumb questions"), however I didn't have that issue with Jason. His responses were always quick & clear, which was really helpful since it was my first refi. Thanks again for going above and beyond in securing the best rate possible during such a difficult, stressful time. I will be recommending Jason to others.
