I had a very good experience with Mr. Yoshida. My needs were a bit complicated - getting a translated Affidavit of Identity & Proof of Residence prepared for apostille by the privincial government, but Mr. Yoshida's experience and expertise made this process much easier. Thank you again! read more

We needed a statutory declaration notarized. After a little bit of research to know what was around, I chose to go with Yoshida and am glad I did. I called ahead to make an appointment and Curtis said I could come that same day. Great! Because this was last minute and there was some urgency to what I needed notarized. My partner met me after work and we both walked over. Curtis was great and speedy. He asked us for two forms of ID and if we declare that what's written on the document to be correct. Stamp, stamp and we were done. Curtis was so polite and engaged in some small talk with us, that was appreciated. We were relieved that he managed to see us on such short notice and notarize our document in no time. Thank you! read more

Mr. Yoshida was a class act. Met with me 15 minutes before closing and was efficient, friendly, and quick. Price was very reasonable too

This was my first time utilizing Yoshida Notary Public! Curtis was extremely knowledgeable supportive and professional! He supported me with my property selling paperwork as well as with my purchasing my new property! He was flexible in his hours and quick to respond to several questions I had. 10 out of 10! Excellent service I would highly recommend Yoshida Notary Public! Thank you Curtis! read more

We've used Curtis Yoshida's services twice over the past 2 years. The first time, we were purchasing a new piece of real estate, as well as changing ownership on another property. Curtis was referred to us by our financial advisor from RBC. Curtis helped us with the necessary (and complex) paperwork. Today, we needed a few documents notarized and once again, he delivered stellar service. Curtis is a true professional and offers friendly, helpful services. I was happy to see that he's expanded his office since our last visit, as it appears others are now discovering his business. I highly recommend Yoshida Notary Public! read more

This was my second real estate purchase with Curtis Yoshida and he did a great job again. This second time was a rush job with just a few days to process the transaction and Curtis never complained. He met us on a Saturday (staying late to accommodate our schedules) and was super professional the whole time. There was a bit of a struggle getting some documents from the strata, but he stayed on top of it, following up, and making sure it got done. Due to some bank difficulties, I had to overpay Curtis and wait for a refund after. I fully expected that I would be waiting on this refund check, while calling his office to follow up and track it down, but to my surprise, it arrived in the mail a few days after signing the documents. And the amount was a bit more than expected. If you need a fast and efficient notary, Curtis is the one to call! Thanks again, Curtis! read more

Wonderful service!!! We had to get power of attorney papers notarized quickly and he was able to fit us in the same day. He was very professional and it was a pleasure doing business with him. Would definitely go back/recommend him. - Heather read more

Curtis was great! He handled the sale of my Victoria condo and was very professional and personable, and having office hours available on a Saturday is super helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Generally cold and unhelpful demeanor. Did not introduce himself and scolded my wife within first 2 minutes of conversation. Given the other positive reviews I wonder if perhaps it is a cultural difference thing. Or could just be his personality. Either way, not going back and going to search for an alternative. read more

Go elsewhere for your real estate business. Use a law firm, not a notary. Only basic paperwork done. No checks or detailed work to ensure your interests. Was referred but never again. I was surprised my mortgage broker even referred him when we had a law firm previously. He may do good work on other stuff but conveyance isn't one of them. read more

It was late afternoon and I needed a document notarized. I was given a couple of names of Notaries to call, but they weren't available at that time of day. I looked online and I immediately found Curtis' information. When I called, Curtis was there and offered to stay a bit later for me. His service was professional and efficient. Thank you Curtis for your kindness and "above and beyond" service! read more

Quick and professional, I recommend them to any and all. I had a last minute document that needed to be notarized before the weekend. Yoshida Notary heard the panic in my voice and although not customary, agreed to stay late to wait for me to arrive. I successfully submitted my documents on time and as a result saved my trip. Very happy with my experience. read more

I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Yoshida for his Vancouver notary service. I sent this as a personal "Thank you" email to Mr.Yoshida for the stellar notary public service though thought to post it here as well. "Dear Mr.Yoshida, Thank you for helping with earlier today. While it was a brief visit to your notary, I enjoyed the casual and friendly personality. It was quicker and less of a hassle than I imagined. Best regards, Benjamin Ng" If you require a notary service, be sure to consider this office conveniently located near the Law buildings, downtown and UBC Robson. The service has been impeccable and you'll appreciate Mr.Yoshida's professional but friendly approach. Highly recommended Vancouver Notary Public read more

I've been here two times over the past couple of months - for some really basic items. Both times were really last minute on my part, and they were able to accommodate my needs very well. In and out very quickly, with friendly service. If I need a notary again, it'll be here. read more

A number of my Real Estate clients have used Yoshida Notary Public, and I found them very professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. Yoshida does great work, and i highly recommend to my clients on a regular basis. read more

Curtis was super fast and efficient. I was referred to him by my realtor Elliot Tan. He has been doing his profession for a decade and it really shows. He never dropped the ball and was always communicative in buying my first home. His prices are fair, he's located centrally downtown and accommodated me after hours just so I can close my condo in time. I've never used a notary before, but now I highly recommend Curtis for all your notary needs. Keep up the great work! read more

He is one of the few open downtown on a Saturday. He was great, quick and polite and standard prices.

RIP OFF!!! We (my wife, daughter and I) used Yoshida Notary Public, Inc. three years ago because he was highly recommended by our bank, as well as Mortgage broker. Our Mortgage broker and new landing corporation sent all documentation to Yoshida Notary Public, Inc. few days before time for final signing and disbursement. I talked to him over the phone the same day and asked him when we can have documents for review and when we can come to sign it. Instead of sending ANY document ahead of time he scheduled an appointment. He DID NOT send ANY documentation for review, nor has he discussed the cost involved. We arrived at the office and spent 15 minutes waiting for him to let us in (he knew that my time is tight). When we finally got into his office everything was rushed, he did not have time to properly answer our questions and guide us through documentation, but had time for friendly chat. Documentation was presented with brief explanation (focused where we have to sign or put initials). He asked us to sign a form stating that we got documentation that he presented, which we signed in hope that we will get it at the end of our appointment. Once when all documentation was signed in trust, including two Orders To Pay, he pulled documents and told us that he will send all documentation by e-mail later same day. I asked him by e-mail and over the phone several times when are we going to get our documentation, including the amount that he charged us, but he bluntly ignored all of these requests for two days. Money was disbursed one day later and only then we got our documentation. When we finally had it in full details we realized that he intentionally hid everything until he had his money so that we cannot stop this. To our unpleasant surprise he charged: - Legal Fees for mortgage $939.19 - Daughter's removal from title $1,102.29 It was absolute rip off with no explanation or apologies! read more
