SCAM ALERT...Totally scammed our company out of money. Refused to pay for services they requested and we executed to their liking. They simply stole from us. Matthew Witschorke and Ryan Pitts tried to claim they sent funds to the wrong place after weeks of emailing and calling with no respone and then never would confirm or resend the money due. If they scam other small businesses they use to make profit how can they be trusted with normal customers?

Told them numerous times we still had a mortgage and they wired almost 500k into my checking account instead of paying off our lender. If I wasnt such an honest person I may have just cashed out and moved to Thailand. Called and told them about it and they blamed it on me. I paid these folks good money for a smooth transaction and smooth is not what I got. Instead I had to directly pay our mortgage off after the new owner took possession of the house.

My husband and I have closed many times on the purchase and sale of properties with Ellis County Abstract & Title. Excellent service. Harold Barnard and his staff are top notch.
