Highly disappointed

My first home purchase went pretty well, but my most recent experience let me highly disappointed. Lee has two assistants that handle the attorney review process and paperwork. During this last home purchase, I left my deposit my in escrow on a previous bid that fell through. On the next offer, Tracy... forgets all about it and asked to send another deposit. During the actual attorney review process, she forwards me the seller's attorney amendments and asks me to confirm everything. There was no explanation of what was being added or any repercussions. When I queried some of the revisions, I was told that it was the standard language. Now after the fact I'm being told that I have to pay the seller's tax rebate which I wasn't warned about. Just because they deal with these type of transactions every day doesn't mean the rest of us are that well versed. My real estate agent tried to reach out and was met with unprofessionalism and rudeness on their part. All my real estate agent was trying to do was look out for my best interest, and they acted as if they could not be bothered. During the actual closing, Tracy came into the conference room and tossed a ripped up folder with all of the closing document on the table. She proceeds to apologize for the torn folder and then tells us we are done. She could not have been more accurate because I will never work with them again!

Replied last September 11, 2019

Ivan; I was very surprised to read this review. We closed months ago and I had no call, or email from you in anyway indicating that you had a bad experience with us. Every communication between you and our firm had always been amicable. The closing went well. I do though want to respond to your concerns. First, I personally handled the entire attorney review of the contract as I always do. My assistants do not negotiate contracts. I have all of the emails, as do you, clearly showing that. We went over each letter and all were approved by you prior to sending. Second; our office did not forget that you had a deposit from another transaction. We merely needed confirmation from you to apply those funds to the new transaction. Third; yes, our office was contacted by the attorney for the Seller of the house asking for reimbursement for the property taxes. You clearly agreed to this reimbursement in the contract. I can understand that you are not happy with that but to write such false statements in a review for everyone to read is somewhat shocking to me. I sent you an email earlier today to discuss your concerns that you have ignored. We are both professionals and I would always be happy to speak to you.
