I can't believe I had to pay this escrow company to basically do nothing throughout my escrow. This is the most unprofessional company I've ever seen. I went into escrow on 10/1 on my condo and asked for the HOA and other docs right the way but nothing was provided for months. The escrow officer is never in the office. Emails were ignored, and voicemails were not returned. We must have sent emails and called over 30 times. My agent called to try to get a hold of the escrow officer's manager, but was told they can't give out that info. WHAT!?
I was left in the dark for 2 months in escrow. My agent had to go through a friend who works for West Coast Escrow in another location and we finally got the documents. At the last minute they started asking me for information and documentation that I had already sent them a month ago. All they had to do was search their email. Argh!
One thing they asked me to provide again was my vesting information. They gave me the choices of: Husband and Wife, A Single Man (never married), An Unmarried Man (divorced final), A Widower, Domestic Partners, A California Corporation, LLP, or LLC. Excuse me!? Apparently women can't buy properties. They claim to have mistaken me as a Mr., but that's not any better...
I had questions for them after escrow closed, but again, they cannot be reached. All my emails and calls were not returned. They are extremely overpriced, do nothing, and are unreachable. AVOID!
