Terrible communication

Evan was the buyers attorney along with his associate Heather. Very poor communication for a home closing. Did not return phone calls or emails from our attorney.

Note that this review was left by the seller, and not by my client. People seem to think that real estate transactions are some big kumbaya around the campfire, holding hands and signing together all the way to the closing table. That's not how this works. These are adversarial business transactions, and if that means that I need to be uncommunicative for some period of time to protect the interests of my clients, then that is what I will do. My allegiance is to my clients and no one else, and in this particular case, my strategy worked exactly how I had planned. I was in very regular communication with MY clients, and they were very happy with my services.

Errors on closing.

If you want to have peace of mind on closing day-- look elsewhere. Poor communication, bad attitude, arrogance coupled with errors during closing. You get what you pay for.

Easiest closing ever

Evan, Heather, Tori and the team are the best at what they do. From start to finish, they were great to work with, highly knowledgeable and made the whole experience so much less stressful. The closing was quick and organized. Cannot recommend them enough!

Detailed

Had my closing earlier this year with Evan! My realtor recommended Evan and she was so right!! Concise, detailed, explained things in a clear way that made the signing process so much less stressful or confusing. Highly recommend Evan:)
