I've had a lot better experience with others. As a part-time real estate agent, I kind of know what steps should be followed and what a GOOD ESCROW officer should help and advise his clients as to if this is the way they want it. He should completely explain to each side what is in the escrow and make sure they understand it. JAMES just seems to skip many steps to wrap up the transaction s soon as possible. This FIRM was asked for by the borrower, so I agreed to them. I shouldn't have done that and used my regular ESCROW. JAMES lacks in DETAILES and fully explaining what each item is and how it affects the paperwork. Is not very professional in how the paperwork is signed and the proper steps in getting " ID " and having both sign at the same time and making sure each party gets the same paperwork.. I got my paper after escrow closed and the other party got hers before. My copies did not even match the borrowers. SOME white-out spaces, some retyping spaces. Not very PROFESSIONAL We should have each gotten copies as we signed them. I think he just wanted to make a QUICK buck on a quick transaction.

My past few transactions, I used the escrow services that my Loan Broker recommends, which is usually an inhouse escrow agent, but this time they had to outsource it. I figured, I've hadn't had a problem with her recommendations before so why not. My broker said this was their first time using Precise Escrow. My escrow agent was James He. The point of having an escrow agent, besides it being the customary practice of having one in a real estate transaction, is for him to handle and obtain the documents necessary to get the transaction completed that is within his ability. I was charged $400 for settlement agent fee, and $100 document preparation fee, $50 for document messenger fee, $20 wire fee, and $175 for Mobile Notary Fee. My frustration is that the services provided should be delivered with good work ethic for the fees. The scheduled closing date was supposed to be a Monday the 13th. The Friday the 10th, before that Monday, James called me asking if I have a contact at AAA (aka my home insurance). He said that he faxed them 2 days prior a request for insurance information and did not get a response. Mind you, this is during the COIVD19 pandemic and most people are not working in the offices, let alone to get faxes; the agents were working remotely (I know because I confirmed with AAA agents that I spoke with over the phone). Generally, time is of the essence in closing escrow. Why did he wait the last day of the week prior to closing to try to get the documents and why did not pick up the phone call earlier to call AAA to get someone on the phone? He even acknowledged that it may talk awhile on hold to reach someone at AAA. Well he did not make the effort. Just pure laziness. If the closing deadline is missed, why would he care, it doesn't affect him, but me! The cosequences of missing a closing date can be $$$ on my end! So I took matters in my own hands to request the necessary documents from AAA. It took me 30 minutes on hold of the 800 number that you can find online. While on the phone with the agent, I was able to have the agent email the PDF document immediately, which I forwarded to James. Why am doing his job that I am paying him to do. His excuse was that he doesn't believe my closing date would be on time because the lender was backed-up due so that's why he wasn't in a rush to get it done. So what. My philosophy is don't give the lender an excuse to say YOU missed the deadline. Instead work like the deadline is a hard deadline so YOU are not the one who can be blamed for missing the deadline. If the lender missed the deadline, then it is on them at least not on the you/me. The lender missed the deadline and extended the closing date because they were backed up. However, my next gripe was that it did not have to be extended much further but for the lack of urgency from James. I get an email from James, the following Friday the 17th, AFTER the initial closing date was extended, indicating he needed another insurance document from AAA. I told him why can't he call AAA (I was busy with my own day job and needed James to handle it for me; that's what I'm paying him for). I get did not get follow-up from him until the next Monday the 20th. Where he emailed me saying he had called AAA that Friday and that the agent he spoke with was suppose to email him the documents. However, he did not get it any documents. Well hello McFly....why don't you immediately follow-up the same day and not wait over the weekend to realize it. Every day I extend the closing date is just extra interest and $$$ that I am paying for at a higher rate. On that same Monday, it took me 5 minutes to get an agent at AAA on the phone and it only took me 10 minutes to get the document from the agent to email it to me, which I subsequently forwarded to James. Clearly, it was not difficult for him to do if he had just put in an ounce of effort. My advice to others you can find better. I have experienced better escrow companies that have provided me with less stress and let me focus on other day job while they handle the services that I am paying them for. If you want to close escrow on time, choose someone else.

So, I actually found Mike through ChatGPT when I searched for top agents in the area, Mike came up first. After reading his reviews, I reached out, and from that very first call, he was exactly who he said he was: professional, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I had interviewed a few other agents, but knew Mike was the right person to work with based on his track record and his kind demeanor. Selling my first home was bittersweet, but Mike made the process feel steady and manageable. His communication is honestly next level, always responsive, proactive, and patient, especially when walking me through paperwork and answering my (many) questions. Even coming from a commercial real estate background, I can say residential is a different world, and Mike handled it all with ease. Mike is a great agent, someone you trust, and someone you want in your circle. He is 100% authentic and sincere. I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with Mike.

We first connected with Ramon in 2025 when we were considering selling our home. After several conversations, we realized we were not yet financially ready to move forward. Even though Ramon had already invested time and effort into helping us evaluate our options, he never made us feel pressured or guilty about our decision. He remained supportive and checked in periodically throughout the year without ever being pushy. A year later, when we were finally ready to sell, choosing Ramon and his team was an easy decision. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly communicative and professional. They created a group chat with my husband and me, which made it easy to stay informed, ask questions, and receive updates throughout the process. Ramon and his team also did an excellent job coordinating showings. They ensured we had the ability to approve or decline requests based on our schedule and convenience, which gave us time to prepare and made the process much less stressful. When we eventually received an offer, due to our personal financial circumstances we were facing the possibility of bringing money to closing. (This situation was entirely unrelated to Ramon or his team and was simply the result of not having paid down enough of our mortgage) Ramon was generous enough to voluntarily reduce his commission, which helped us walk away from the sale with money in our pockets. That act alone speaks volumes about his character, integrity, and commitment to his clients. Ramon genuinely cares about the people he represents and consistently puts their best interests first. Despite a slower condo market in our area, he successfully got our property sold and guided us through every challenge with professionalism and compassion. We are incredibly grateful for all of the hard work, dedication, and support that Ramon and his team provided!
