Report
Never use this company. As sellers we had to wait over 30 minutes past the scheduled appointment time while the buyers met with the attorney. We came at the time we were assigned. When we inquired, they insisted that is how the do it and they did not seem to understand that we shod have been scheduled at a later time if they had business with the seller thay needed to be completed prior to the sale. The sale itself was simple and completed in less than 15 minutes once we were invited onto the roomm
