Karen Gaughan Scott

I got a buyer for the sale of my house, & was happy that it was going to be a cash deal. Karen Scott told me that it would be a "quick process" this way, & would only take about 4 weeks max to close. Well here I am 10 weeks later, incredibly disgusted. The so-called quick process took double the t...ime, with no clear explanation as to why & what was going on. Every time I would call the office, I would either have to leave a message or be told from the secretary that Karen would call me back the same day, or early the next morning. I would sometimes wait a full week for a call back, feeling left in the dark and unimportant as a client. I would also get fake promises from her about certain issues, and when asked about them, would always get the same answer: "next week, next week, next week this will be done". I also didn't feel that this firm was professional at all; her secretary was always telling me how busy & bogged down she was because she had so much paperwork to do before she could get to mine. How is her incompetence my problem?! She should be telling her boss this, not me. So after much frustration and more confusion, the buyer skipped town never to be heard from again. I lost the deal & feel that it was their fault that this happened. They took way too long for something that should've been done in 4/5 weeks and the buyer got sick of it and took off. I really wish I would've read these poor reviews & done better research before doing business with this firm. It would have saved me a world of stress & aggravation. If you want an easy closing process & a lawyer that is on top of things, please do not go to Karen Scott.

I had a poor experience with Karen Scott Esq. Always felt "out of the loop" and was notified last minute of things (like being told I had to do my final walk through 22hrs before it had to be completed by!). She also raised her rates suddenly (from $500 to $600). When issues did come up we had to ...just "accept" them (like paying for the previous owners to live in the house for a week after we closed and have to pay for my stuff to stay in a storage unit!). Would not recommend her.
