not a good experience (real estate ...)

I bought a house in Massachusetts. This DiCristofaro guy bought a car from a family friend, and the used car salesperson recommended I use DiCristofaro for the house closing legal review, title and lien search, etc. I hired him. He did the lien search. He didn't report any problems to me or my w...ife. He sent a colleague to come to the closing. It's a good thing I bought title insurance. Lo and behold, when I went to sell my house, I found out that at that time that I bought it, some creditors had placed liens on the house against the people from whom I bought the house. But DiCristofaro either didn't do a thorough lien search (I paid him to do one!) or he didn't report the results accurately to us. He was aloof and haughty. He was very unpleasant.

I'm sorry for the trouble you experienced. Unfortunately, the scenario you described did not involve me. You may have the wrong DiCristofaro, if at all. I have never purchase a used car from anyone. From the title issues you describe, there would have been an immediate "claim" filed against me by the title insurance company. Or worst, they would have sued me. I have never had a claim filed against me, or been sued, by any title insurance company. However, although it is not uncommon for old mortgages to pop up on different title searches, they are easily rectified. It sounds like your post-closing situation was handled in a satisfactory manner. Possibly, you may have seen my name on your mortgage as the "Notary Public". If so, my duty was to act as a witness/notary, only, for your closing, without any "title" responsibilities. I hope this helps to clear things up for you.
