4 /5 Claud rife: Overall, Steve and his staff did a fair job of closing on my fathers home. It wasnt a smooth ride, but also wasnt totally on Steve and his office.
Ive purchased and closed on 9 homes in my lifetime. This was very slow and tedious by comparison, especially for an auction sale with no inspections to deal with. Our attorney, Mr. Steve Miller has had the title work for 2 weeks now, yet we cant get a closing date.
There are zero excuses for not having closed on this property. The property was sold as is, where is, and the bidders were required to have their funds sorted out ahead of time. That was 3 1/2 weeks ago. However, the bulk of the blame for this falls on the auctioneer for misleading us regarding bidders requirements.
About five minutes after initially leaving this review, the attorney called me (after hours, impressive!). We now have a closing date of December 29th, a full 4 1/2 weeks after the auction though. The reason I was given for the closing being delayed was basically that it was the lender, and holidays.
Steve, and his legal secretary did a fine job, and Steve was great about accommodating my dad (stroke victim). Communication is the biggest reason for missing 5 stars. All too often (I called about 5-6 times over the course of the 4 1/2 weeks.), I was told they were busy, and someone would call me back. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didnt.
