I love Barrister Titles flexibility. Kim was able to switch my closing time 3 times because of my work. Gary Myers is awesome to work with I had a couple issues that I actually called him after 7pm at night and he answered and said he would reach Kim to change my closing time. Great experience. My boyfriend and I are in the process of getting our restate license and we are going to use them.

As a realtor, I get to work with lots of title companies and see much of the behind the scenes processes that go on. The people at Barrister do a nice job and avoid major mistakes. I would definitely work with them again.
