I began dealing with East Texas Title Company in Tyler, Texas back in July, 2025 when my mother…read moregifted me the deed to her house. I noticed, after my mother gave me the Gift Deed that is showed an incorrect property address. I have been arguing with Avonli, the receptionist for the past two months about whose fault it is. For some reason, the title company has put Avonli in charge of running the whole show, but being just a receptionist, she's not licensed to be giving me advise and in addition to giving me incorrect advise, she has repeatedly lied to me. She blames my mother for incorrectly filling out their Walk-In form used to transfer information to create the Gift Deed whereas I blame the title company because after reviewing the Walk-In form, I told her that wasn't my mother's handwriting. Originally she told me that I wouldn't have to pay to have a correction deed drawn up, but then she changed her mind and now wants to charge me $530 in addition to the $200 my mother already paid them for the original, incorrect deed. I know when I'm being played and I don't appreciate being treated in such an unprofessional way. And the title company has things set up to where you cannot e-mail anyone in the company because when you do, the e-mail is returned as undeliverable. Another thing, I have told Avonli that I wanted to speak with Diana Perez who is the Manager, but she won't allow me to. And yesterday I tried to send an e-mail to Cecia Flowers who is the Owner, but it came back as undeliverable. Is this how they would want to be treated if an error occurred on their document(s)?

Bert Powell is, as I had been told by everyone who I'd spoken to that knows him, a self serving…read moreperson without integrity or character. My experience with him occurred one week after I moved to Tyler. While I was back in Austin bringing another load of household items, he took it upon himself to have his handyman begin chopping two feet off of my backyard Stone Fence. I drove in and caught the man doing it and motioned for him to stop. He spoke no english, so I had to give him hand signals in order for him to understand. He left, but about two hours later, I heard the chopping again and had to go out and make him get off the fence again. Evidently Mr. Powell had ordered him to continue anyway.I went over to Powell Properties office around the corner to find out who had given the order to do that to my fence. After a few days, I spoke with Mr. Powell and he proceeded to ask for money from me to finish off capping the top part that they had left jagged and ugly. I thought about it a while and eventually decided that it was his responsibility to cap it off, since he had not even asked my permission to begin with. I called and told him I'd like him to cap it off and he said that I would have to chip in some money because he had already spent $200. chopping it down and told me that a "decent" property owner would understand that the cost should be split. I told him that a "decent" property owner wouldn't make the decision to chop someone else's fence up without prior agreement that there was a need and prior agreement to split the costs. It seems Mr. Powell doesn't care much about his neighbors and has gotten away with throwing his weight around a bit too easily and quite certain of getting his way. He really is a man without character and out for himself only. In the past year,I have referred two different workers to him, who did work for him and left unsatisfied with the money he was willing to pay them for their labors, as well as the way they were treated by this man. My advice is to rent or purchase with him with your legal advisor because it seems he is the only one who wins in his world.
