They have gone above and beyond their jobs. Thank you so very much for helping us with the (sometimes) nightmare of buying a home . We have a unique situation. And they have gone out of their way many times trying to resolve the banks issue. You are all rockstars , again many thanks.

We didn't want to use Timberline Title but our agent recommended them. We wanted to send cashier check, but Timberline would only accept wire transfer. We had a hard time finding out how much funds needed to be sent to them over a real estate purchase. We had a hard time trying to find out wire transfer information. We were at our bank in Boise and received an email from the owner Christy Ward with instructions for transfer. The bank employee viewed this information the funds were sent. We contacted Timberline Title to confirm transfer and said they would keep an eye open for it. We never received
