I went here with a client of mine so that they could close on their house. In the transaction they…read morewere the seller for the house. When you are selling/buying a house, the buyer is supposed to find and pay for the attorney and all of their fees. This was the first time that I have ever had an attorney state that they needed the seller to come out of their own pocket for expenses. They sent us an email with a bunch of the closing paperwork a couple weeks ahead of time asking that the seller print them out, sign, and have them notarized, then mail the packet back to them. I know it is a nominal expense of maybe $10 or so, but still, not the sellers responsibility. I guess it is a great option if the seller isn't going to be present at the closing, and is out of town, or just doesn't want to run into their ex. But if the seller states that they want to be present at closing, so that they can also pick up their check the same day, there is no need to have the paperwork done ahead of time. After my client did their first batch of papers having them signed, notarized, and mailed back, we got another email for more paperwork to do the same. I reached back out to the attorneys office and asked them can't they just do all that paperwork at the office during closing? They replied back that they didn't need the originals back, but a scan would do. I let them know that since they have notaries in the office we would just do it with them. I wasn't trying to be mean, but I wasn't a fan of having a bunch of paperwork signed out there in case the lending fell through, or the buyer changed their mind the day of the walk through. I will say that Sam in the office was great. She put up with all of my emails, and phones to make sure the deal went through. She did have a great attitude the entire time. #490

Stay away! Tom Holt is by far the worst attorney we have ever dealt with. He was the closing…read moreattorney (picked by the buyer, not us) on a sale of a very expensive home in Chapel Hill. Tom was given explicit wire instructions for payoff of a mortgage on the closing date and unbeknownst to us he decided to FedEx a check over a holiday weekend thus delaying the payoff by 4 days, costing us $1,750 in unnecessary interest. We have closed on more than 6 properties over the years and have never had a check sent via FedEx. When his error was brought to his attention he hid behind a statement that it was the policy of the firm to process the payoff in that manner. When we informed him that we were never informed of their policy (nor had we agreed to it), and reminded him that we had given explicit instructions to wire the funds, he expressed no willingness to accept the error as his. When we requested a refund of our money that he had misappropriated he refused. Nor did he refund his attorney fees. Instead of doing the right thing, he chose to be a jerk and refused. Tom simply put, is not someone worthy of being a fellow Chapel Hill citizen.

Her calm demeanor and patience are some of her greatest attributes. She speaks with such candor that you can tell she is not someone who is just chasing billable hours.
