Dear Mindy,As you know, I met you through Lawyers Title representative Larry Hones, and you have handled several real estate transactions for me over the past few months. I would like to express my sincere thanks for your outstanding service. Both you and your team members always promptly return phone calls. You are always courteous and helpful. On one occasion, you stayed late to accommodate my buyer who was late. On another occasion, you reminded me that I had forgotten to pick up a closing package, and once again you were kind enough to wait for me to get there. Recently you assisted my co-agents in preparing documents for an elderly handicapped client.In the busy life of real estate agent, it is refreshing to get immediate assistance without having to make many phone calls. You and your staff always provide that individual and caring service. During this same time period, I have had to deal with other escrow companies which were chosen by other buyers' agents. I can unequivocally state that no other company has measured up to your standards.Your service makes my job much easier and more pleasant. I have recommended you to other agents, and want to thank you for all your help. I hope to do business with you for a long time in the future.Sincerely,Carole A.Liberty Realty, Inc.

Dear Debbie,I just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am to have Jamie Skelton as my Transactional Manager. I've been using Jamie for the past year now and I feel that I need to give credit where credit is due.Jamie has played an important role for me in how I handle my business transactions. She's always available when I need her and not to mention her FLAWLESS work.I've gone through many different title companies, escrow/;transactional managers and I'm happy to say that I've finally found somebody that can put up with me and my high expectations. She has met every one.I don;t worry about ANY loans I place with her because I don't have to baby-sit my transactions with her. Every transaction submitted to her I absolutely know will be successfully handled.From the opening to the closing of my escrows she's on top of every issue and allows for a smooth transaction. I couldn't have asked for a better Transactional/escrow Manager. Thank you for placing her with all my loans.I've also recommended her to my colleagues in which they are now using her and find her as successful as I do.Thanks again,Cordially,Nate I.Diversified Mortgage Group, Inc.

Dear Brien,Over the past six months my unit at Old Republic Title has had quite a few transactions in Pahrump, Nye County, Nevada. As our company only handles Clark County, we have had to outsource our title work and title insurance. We have been sending all of these orders to Kathy Wheeler at your office.The purpose of my letter is to inform you what a pleasure it has been to work with Kathy. Her work is accurate and detailed, and she is always prompt with her responses to phone calls and emails. Overall, she and her assistants have been exceptional, and I wanted to bring this to your attention. We often do not recognize the great people, and I wanted to take time out to recognize Kathy and her unit. She is an important asset to your company.As you know, we have a choice, however, Kathy gets my vote. Thank you for taking the time to read this.Best Regards,Eliane W.Old Republic

It is my partner Greg A. and my pleasure to express to you what a fabulous job Pam Bell and Lori Allen Cook did on an escrow that we opened with them for our clients. It was a fast close that we needed to be done expeditiously and they came through with flying colors and saved our clients a good deal of money. We appreciate the work they did for us, since they not only made themselves look great but us as well, since we had proposed using their services to our clients. We look forward to working with them in the future, may all our escrows go as smoothly as this one did with their expertise. Please take the opportunity to share with them our sincere gratitude and hopefully they will be credited with the grace they so deservedly are due.Sincerely,Greg A & Elaine M.Acres Real Estate Services

Dear Brenda,I had the pleasure of dealing with Courtny Wade on the refinance of my present home to purchase a new home. Courtny was very professional, answered all our questions and got back to us quickly all the time. You also responded to our questions immediately when you gave us the info on the wire amount and time it was wired to another title company. It was because of this excellent experience with you and Courtny that as a Realtor, I am having an additional escrow handled by your fine company. Great job! Keep it up!ThanksTess APlatinum Properties

Dear Mr. Dover,I wanted to compliment your escrow officer Cindy Koenig on a job well done on closing the escrow at 1505 Reisling Court. This transaction closed escrow from start to finish in less than five days! The transaction involved some very high powered Buyers and Sellers. I was very impressed with how she handled all parties and never missed a beat. She had to coordinate a mobile notary for the signing and correspond with the Sellers counsel out of state. Her attention to detail while always providing amazing service should be recognized by your organization. I think a paid vacation and raise should be considered. As a twenty year veteran of real-estate I have closed hundreds of transactions. This was the fastest and most complicated but also the most seamless transaction to date thanks to Cindy. Please do whatever it takes to retain her as a part of your team. She is a real asset to Lawyers Title team. I would hate for your company to lose such a valuable commodity in Cindy.I also wanted to thank Amberly for being solid every step of the way. A special thanks to Channelle Beller for always providing my staff and I the support necessary to do a high volume of business. Thomas L.

As a lawyer, I have closed nearly $1 Billion in real estate deals in my life. This comment relates to LandAmerica / Lawyers Title of Nevada's West Sunset Ave. Office in Las Vegas, NV and the "Management" Above That Office's Escrow Manager. My transaction is a simple home purchase.

I have never dealt with escrow department staff who were so dishonest, unresponsive, incompetent, presumptuous and geared to ripping off the public as these people. We are stalled on closing right now, because they refuse to take the time to issue a Title Commitment, even though their own documents strongly advise the buyer to obtain one. We are also stalled because of their pocket lining rip-offs they have built into the RESPA Closing Statement.

To recap all of LandAmerica's and Lawyers Title of Nevada's mistakes and presumptuousness so far:

1. Issuing an incomplete receipt for my $12,000 cashier's check which the escrow manager's secretary would not correct.

2. Sending me a demand statement from the homeowners' association which had expired nearly 2 months earlier and which was numerically inaccurate as to the amount of fines which had accrued since that statement...a gross violation of Nevada law.

3. Sending me a demand from Republic Services (who have lien rights) which was more than 2 months stale.

4. Not sending me a Title Commitment, even though I had asked for one, in writing, five times, and even though their PTR advises the buyer not to rely on the PTR and to ask for a Commitment. [What is the brain buster there? First American issues a commitment without the buyer even asking for one.]

5. Failing to include the unpaid homeowners association fines for CC&R violations in the draft RESPA statement on the seller's side, even though they were called out in the home owners' association's updated demand....another gross violation of Nevada law.

6. Including a $100 add on charge in the RESPA Settlement Statement to change the locks on the house, something not disclosed to the buyer in any document from seller or escrow and not requested by me. The lock changing company appears to be owned by one of the management level employees of the company.

7. Overcharging for the title insurance premium on the draft RESPA Settlement Statement, in three different ways, two of which LandAmerica warns about in the first set of documents sent by escrow to buyer, and the third of which was not disclosed just arbitrarily included in the title pricing....another gross violation of Nevada law.

8. Overcharging for the buyer's escrow fee by $400+, in contradiction to their printed escrow instructions where the buyer only agrees to pay "charges customary in the county where the property is located."

9. Overcharging for the recording of the Deed, more than 3 times what they actually pay Clark County.

10. In the second draft of the RESPA Settlement Statement failing to acknowledge their receipt of my $250,000 wire transfer which they received ten days prior to preparing the statement. The reason for the mistake: "Oh we forgot about your wire". [Do they give IQ tests to job applicants and only hire the people who flunk?]

11. The second, third, fourth and fifth drafts of the RESPA Settlement Statement not making the changes which I required on our mark up of the first one.

12. The escrow manager insisting she does not take or return calls, does not read or respond to emails, and does not repond to faxes. She delegates these functions to employees who are not state licensed escrow officers.

13. The escrow manager's secretary presuming to tell me that buyer is not going to receive a Title Commitment, even when I am paying the title insurance premium and even when the first page of LandAmerica's own PTR warns the buyer to require one.

This is the worst escrow operation I have ever dealt with in my life. The title operation is just AWOL. Only a truly insane person would use LandAmerica / Lawyer's Title of Nevada on their closings.

They handled our home closing with speed and professionalism. The documents were ready when they said they would be and we never had to wait on anyone on our appointment schedule. This is the way escrow should be handled.
