Great service. Smooth escrow process. very good communication throughout. Would highly recommend them!

Catherine was our escrow officer and made the process extremely easy and was very timely with all of her responses to our questions and providing us all of the necessary documentation. Her and the entire team at Uptown Escrow made our first home buying process seamless. We could not recommend Uptown Escrow Services more and highly recommend that everyone in the mountain area uses them. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them! read more

Catherine was our escrow officer and provided us a timeline to purchase our home and we absolutely stayed on track. communication was consistent, detailed, and on going. Her team reached out to us, helped us stay on course, and answered any questions we had. This home purchase experience was wonderful! Completely appreciate everyone! read more

Great team, efficient, very communicative and wonderful people to work with. We used them for both buying and selling properties over the last few months. Highly recommend. read more

Uptown escrow provided amazing service to us from start to finish on the purchase and the sale of our home. Catherine was on top of everything. Quick communication. Working at all hours and going above and beyond. They sent a mobile notary the same day. Seamless transaction. I would highly recommend. The #1 escrow company. read more

I had the opportunity to deal with Uptown Escrow for 2 sales involving a home and a dock in Lake Arrowhead. The experience I had with the ladies at Uptown, Laura, Catherine, and Jill was outstanding and I would say way above my expectations. I know I was not their only client, and I did feel like their most important. They communicated with me in a timely manner, handled all matters professionally including some fun conversations, and made the process very easy for me. Along the way, a glitch occurred in the sale of the dock, not of their making, and even though the matter could have been detrimental to them financially, they continued to advise me as if I was the most important. Their thoughts and knowledge helped me deal with the challenge and I really appreciate their honesty. You can tell they really care about their clients and service when all goes smoothly, but a business that also cares when there are huge challenges that will affect them, really sets them apart from the normal customer service that we all appreciate, and puts them in an outstanding category that emphasizes commitment no matter the circumstances. Thank You Uptown Escrow Services for taking great care of us. read more

Catherine and the rest of Uptown Escrow just helped us with our latest home purchase and all I can say is that it was the best experience buying a home I have ever had. They explained everything along the way to make sure we were always informed and went above and beyond with every part of the process. Catherine even drove 2 hours to us for the final signing which made things so much easier for us. Thank you Catherine and everyone at Uptown Escrow! read more

This was a horrible expereince. I would not trust any large transactions through this escrow company. Catherine was extremely disrespectful. Due to miscommunication at closing with her and Jill I lost nearly 1,000 dollars in interest with the mortgage company. She was defensive, sent an email to me and all brokers and members of escrow team describing what I did wrong and how she did nothing wrong. Took ZERO accountability and attempted to humiliated me, so unprofessional. This was my 8th house and 10th escrow company I've worked with. Shocked with the poor management and handling of funds. Go elsewhere. read more

We have used Uptown Escrow twice now and we cannot recommend them enough. We have used other escrow companies in the past and we've never received the service that we have with Uptown. Catherine & the team are absolutely phenomenal and sharp! They were on top of every detail of each transaction and always answered our questions so promptly and efficiently. The value they provide is truly unmatched and exactly what every client needs and hopes for. Thank you Catherine & team for your impeccable service, expert knowledge, & professionalism. We won't use anyone else for our escrow needs. read more

I used Uptown Escrow on three real estate transactions and they were great. We worked with Michael Figone on all three transactions. He was knowledgeable, quick to respond, and a pleasure to work with. Will happily use them again, if needed. Thank you! read more

I've sold multiple properties (of the mountain) and Uptown came *very* highly recommended by my local realtor. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. 1. Had to follow up multiple times with communication. Don't get me wrong, they answer right away, but they never have the accurate answer. 2. Scheduled notary to sign seller docs. Was told $50 over the phone. Was $65 on my closing statement. 3. Notary was given inaccurate closing documents. I told the escrow agent multiple times the sales price had changed, they said it was fine and it would be fixed for signing. It wasn't. Was told on phone by escrow agent (at signing table) that a corrected form would be sent. Had to follow up multiple times before they sent it to me another day. 4. Seller sent funds Friday morning, Uptown (conveniently) "didn't receive funds" early enough to disburse on everything on Friday but was told by someone over the phone that they were so busy due to the last day of the month (the day before!!). So who is lying? Oh, but the house was already sold. Just no money. 5. Monday evening now - no money in my account. Mortgages not paid off. They sent proof the funds disbursed late this afternoon (wires take several hours for receiving institution to process). Another day still no money. Finger pointing saying title hands disbursement (an escrow company's fiduciary responsibility is to handle disbursements, why are they having title due this?)... If your realtor recommends this place, I'd recommend you find your own office or ask your realtor for another office. read more

What a truly great experience! We mostly worked with Michael, that said, the entire staff was always friendly, helpful and professional. Any questions we had, any input we needed or any updates we requested, Michael was always accessible and responsive. An extremely positive experience from first contact to close. Our go to from now on. Dax & Reese read more

A special thanks to Uptown Escrow for once again closing our escrow in a smooth and efficient manner. It is always a pleasure working with the kind and organized crew at Uptown. we highly recommend using this team for any of your escrow needs. read more

We loved all of the staff and how amazingly they handled all the process. Thank you!!! Absolutely recommend. read more

This was the easiest, speediest escrow we've ever had. Painless from beginning to end. Used another escrow with previous purchase but the agent was rude and it made the entire transaction horrible. Highly recommend Uptown Escrow. read more

Uptown escrow efficiently handled my closing in Running Springs in October 2021. I recently received a tax bill from San Bernardino county indicating that I was responsible for property taxes as of July 2022 even though it' was already closed. The county tax collector said that my name was still on the property and I was liable for the taxes. I tried working with the county tax collector and assessor but was not able to correct the matter. I called Crystal at uptown escrow just to see if she could give me some hints of what to do and she said she would take care of the problem for me. She dealt directly with the assessors office and got the name of the property corrected so that I was no longer liable for the taxes. I was amazed that she would go to all this trouble when my escrow closed nine months previously . I can't say enough about Uptown Escrow. Thank youvery much Crystal. Bill Bryan read more

I used Catherine at Uptown Escrow for a property I had listed in Crestline. It was a quick transaction with a lot of twisty title issues. Catherine performed like a champ. She works really hard to solve challenges in a timely manner. She always promptly returns calls and emails. As a Real Estate Broker of 30+ years, I'm hard to impress. But I am...Impressed! read more

It was such a pleasure working with Catherine and Michael. They even closed me in less than 2 weeks. Nothing short of amazing! I highly recommend Uptown Escrow Services as they go above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction and that all your questions are answered. They were professional and prompt every time I reached out. Awesome service from start to finish! Thanks again Uptown, I am thrilled to move into my new home. read more

We just closed a transaction in Twin Peaks with Catherine Figone, the Escrow Officer at Uptown Escrow Services in Cedar Glen, CA. She was unbelievably swift in all communication, precisely accurate with all documentation and was charming & professional the entire time. A truly remarkable & outstanding experience, most Escrow Officers do not offer customer service and skilled performance at such a preternatural level. Truly impressed. Great work Catherine! read more

Have worked with numerous escrow companies over the years and had a positive experience with Uptown Escrow Services. Hallie and all the professionals I worked with were fast to respond to my emails and made the transition very easy. Highly recommend. read more

The team at Uptown Escrow Services is amazing. They handled escrow on the home I recently purchased in the San Bernardino mountains. I have never met or worked with such a professional and friendly team. They were right on top of everything. Their communications were timely and accurate. Their detailed numbers work was impeccable. And each and every one of the team members I interacted with was friendly and approachable. I cannot recommend them more highly. read more

Not recommended. They are really slow to get your money to you. Slow to follow up. Plus they made mistakes on numbers. Worst experience I have had from an escrow company. read more

Amazing escrow company! All of the people who work at Uptown are top notch! They go above & beyond with their services. For example I had a seller in China that was very hard to communicate with. He was on a different time zone & had a busy work schedule. Crystal would communicate with my seller by text or call all hours of the night. Even past 12am. Catherine is also excellent & is one of the sweetest people you will talk to. I've never had a bad experience with Uptown. They are always on top of it! read more

My family and I were buying our first Cabin this year. Our realtor Amber Woods, referred us to Uptown Escrow. They saved us. We also had a 30 day loan that was going to be denied at the end because the bank DID not listen to the professional expertise at UPTOWN. Needless to say, Uptown is professional, they know their stuff, especially in regards to vacation homes. They are the tug boat, in a sea of cooperate banks. Trust in them. They will steer you in the right direction! Thanks Uptown! Joel and Peggy read more

Uptown escrow is the only place in the mountains that I will use for my escrow needs. They have been great in the three times that I have used their escrow services. The first time I used them, I got great service. I made a mistake by letting another escrow company handle my escrow on a different occasion when I needed escrow services. I didn't know there was such a difference in escrow companies. After realizing that the escrow company does make a difference, I know that Uptown escrow is the only company that I want to do business with, in the mountains. They are professional and go out of their way to make it a seamless process. We needed to get paperwork signed, and Catherine stayed late to accommodate us. read more

Can't say enough good words about Catherine at Uptown Escrow. They were by far the most helpful and competent folks in our whole purchasing process. Quick response, super knowledgeable, and excellent communication throughout the process. I highly recommend them! Thanks again! read more

Just closed an escrow with Crystal. We had a wonderful experience! Quick responses, super friendly, always ahead of schedule and we closed early! read more

Incredible service and very attentive personnel. Escrow is never easy, but Uptown helped us through the process with great ease even while we were traveling overseas! We expected a rough process since we'd be in differing time zones and needing to sign documentation, but Crystal and Catherine were very responsive and helpful with all of our questions and concerns. In the end, we closed with no issues and are now happily moved into our new place. Many thanks to everyone at Uptown Escrow, especially Crystal and Catherine, for helping us get into our dream home! read more

Just finish closing Escrow with Crystal and I can't say enough about the level of service, She made the entire process so easy and was there to help along the way when I needed her.

Absolutely amazing! I love the team at Uptown Escrow. Our home purchase was not the easiest one. Everything we could go through we went through.

OMG! Exceptional service with a fun and pleasant attitude! Professional, knowledgable, and on top of it! Love them! Best escrow experience we have ever had read more

Catherine at Uptown Escrow personally handled two escrow transactions for me. I must say how pleased I was, she answered every question, took every call, returned every email and although one of the transactions was a little daunting at times, she helped me to see the end result and convinced me to be patient. Rarely are escrow's perfect, she shouldered much of the burden with me. In the end, I got exactly what I wanted and I don't think that would have happened with another company.I love the family atmosphere and you will too.... read more

Catherine handled the escrow account for our new home purchase. Working with her and the rest of the Uptown team made our home-buying experience a breeze! They were flexible with our schedules and always friendly. Not only did our house close on time, they were able to help us close a couple days early to get us moved in before a long holiday weekend. It was a pleasure doing business with them! read more

Our real estate agent used this service for escrow and they were fabulous. They really helped us get through everything and without them it would not have gone quite so smoothly. They helped us with important dates and worked with us to get it all done. read more
