After losing the home we were originally interest in, Kevin would meet with us and our agent helping us to find the perfect home. We had been interested in a home and Kevin was able to get us in before the home was listed. iHe then worked collaboratively with our agent through a very complex process as the previous owners of our home had legal matters related to the home that needed to be sorted out. Throughout the process Kevin was professional, patient and went above and beyond to get us into our dream home. Thank you Kevin, we couldn't be happier!

Kevin Shuler, made the often difficult home buying process as easy as possible. From the start,…read moreKevin listened to me, asked me questions about what I wanted in a home and helped show me homes that fit that criteria. He set up a personalized email list so I could browse homes on my own time, he also emailed me hot homes that were in areas that he thought I might enjoy living. At no point in the home buying process did I feel pressured and I always knew that Kevin had my back. Before contacting Kevin my searches often involved looking on Zillow, Trulia and Redfin and driving by the occasional open house. After contacting Kevin I had the chance to see homes before they went on the market, which made making a competitive offer that much easier. Kevin also has a great reputation among other agents and the reason my offer was accepted was based on the other agent's desire to work with Kevin vs. taking a chance with some other person. Kevin also helped me get into the home for a lot less than asking, all based off of comps. Kevin gets the market, he understands financing and numbers and most of all he understands how to offer superior customer service for those looking for a home. Once making the offer, Kevin set me up with a transaction coordinator who helped with all of the paperwork process. This paperwork, an often daunting task, seemed effortless. I felt like I was treated like a million dollar client, even though I was not buying a million dollar home. He even managed to introduce me to some of my neighbors, made sure I understood the local community and provided a helpful list of contacts in case I needed any help. If you want a top agent, give Kevin a call.

Unprofessional, Dishonest, and Disrespectful -- Think Twice Before Working with Brian…read more I rarely leave negative reviews -- this is only the third one I've written in my life -- but my experience with Brian was so unprofessional and unsettling that I feel compelled to warn others. Brian was the selling agent for the condo my husband and I purchased. From the start, he tried to pressure us into using a loan officer he personally knew, even after we made it clear we had already chosen a trusted loan officer with a better rate and clear communication. Despite our choice being our legal right as buyers, he continued to push his contact. Shockingly, he even sent our agent a notice to perform -- essentially trying to force our hand -- and then made it clear that he would only allow an extension if we used his loan officer. Thankfully, our own loan officer successfully closed the deal. But the entire process was made unnecessarily stressful due to Brian's manipulative tactics. His lack of professionalism didn't stop there. He was consistently unresponsive throughout the buying process, ignoring multiple questions from our agent -- especially near and after closing -- about necessary home repairs identified during inspection. The final straw came after closing: Brian threw our keys on the ground outside our home, took a photo of them, and texted it to our agent instead of handing them off properly. He never clarified which key was for what, and never spoke to us directly. Not only is that incredibly disrespectful, but it's also a security concern. I've worked with many professionals during this process, most of whom were communicative, transparent, and respectful -- Brian was none of those things. His behavior was dishonest, coercive, and deeply unprofessional. If you value integrity, communication, and basic respect, think twice before working with Brian.

We are just thrilled to have purchased our dream home in Fullerton and I just want to thank Brian…read moreand his team for such a wonderful experience. From the moment I called Massey Real Estate I found Brian to be a very down to earth professional. He made an appointment to meet with us the next day and sat down to discuss what type of home and the neighborhood that we hoped to re-locate to. Within a few days we went to view a few homes and found what we had been looking for very quickly. Brian kept us aware of everything throughout the buying process and things just went so smoothly it seemed to be a seamless transaction. I highly recommend Brian for any of your future real estate needs as he was nothing short of a true professional. We are so thankful for Massey Real Estate.

Jose is a very ethical person and you will not have to worry about someone being too pushy. Jose stuck with us throughout the process and made the process smooth for us. Buying a home is very daunting and having someone like Jose as your lender can mitigate this task. Jose is also very straightforward and will not beat around the bush. Additionally, if you a veteran such as myself, Jose is very knowledgable with the VA home loan and will get you hooked up. He educated me a lot about a benefit I did not know how to use. Do yourself a favor and get this guy on your team when you are looking for buying a home. He helped us make our dream come true.

Stay away from this company. They are going to do such a poor job that you will regret it. From…read moremisspelling your name to rushing you with requests at 5:45PM that are due by 6PM the same day, it will be a painful process. The escrow instructions are terrible to begin with and they only magnify the problem by having zero attention to detail and zero ethical standards. The initial deposit we agreed to was different from their standard 1%. We were willing to offer 2% and that was what we signed on the contract. Well, Cornerstone doesn't care to read the details and just assumes you are going to go through the 1% standard amount. This is an example of how they don't care what you say or how you want to proceed because they are going to do it their way and you better get ready for some headaches. They only accept 1 form of payment and that's Wire Transfer. Not a bank transfer or a cashiers check or a major credit card. And they will send you the paperwork last minute due the same day. So you end up rushing for no reason and jumping through all these hoops, only to find out that if you cancel escrow, they will take 2+ weeks to mail you a check. Wait, I sent you the money via Wire Transfer and spent $65 to get it to you within 3 hours and now I have to wait for a check that you will mail to me by spending a mere $0.35 cents in postage? Wow. that's awful. Glad we pulled out of escrow. I was actually surprised to see that we even got our full deposit back. I was ready to have to take these guys to court and was assuming they would just try to rob me entirely. Griffin Residential forces you to use these guys because they own both companies. How is that fair? I cannot believe the State of California allows this because clearly there is a conflict of interest in my opinion and going through this process shows me that I will NEVER EVER EVER work with these guys. So if you see Cornerstone Escrow anywhere in the paperwork, RUN AWAY! Not worth the tears you will shed in frustration and the waste of money that Cornerstone will bring down on you.

I am a Real Estate Agent in the Corona Area and I would recommend Cornerstone Escrow to everyone. they are efficient, Courteous and Get the Job Done. On a few occasions they have gone way above and beyond for what an escrow company would be expected to do for my buyers and sellers. That means prospective homeowners as well as Local Home Owners offering there property for sale. No they are not in any way affilitated with GRIFFIN you can use them and be assured that you are getting the Best Escrow Company in the IE or Los Angeles for that matter....

On our first phone meeting he assured us that he would get us a better rate plus get us some cash for some home repairs that we need to get done. It was a very easy process. Mr. Gonzales gave us many different options with rates and cash back. He also guided us on what paperwork we needed including tax returns, credit card statements and bank statements. He was very attentive to us and responded to our questions in a timely manner. Start to finish we talked by phone as well as by email and text. Mr. Gonzales was very professional and knowledgeable and thanks to him we are now in a more comfortable payment arrangement with our mortgage company. I highly recommend Mr. Gonzales for all your refinance or home buying needs. You won't be disappointed.

I was referred to Chris by my financial planner, before I even had started working with a realtor. One key thing I learned about the home buying process was: who you work with on your loan makes a BIG DIFFERENCE in your ability to close on the home you want. There are many points during the transaction where you can get f****d over by a lender who makes a mistake or takes too long to respond. I got so lucky to have found Chris - he and his team were incredibly responsive, professional, and exceptionally competent. A lot of lenders out there are just going through the motions and pushing paper. Chris takes his client relationships seriously, is committed to personalized service. Most exceptionally...he adds value above and beyond providing the loan service by educating his clients on different aspects of the overall transaction, based on his experiences and extensive knowledge.

He made himself available to answer any questions we had, and was able to give us a great overview of the process and what to expect at every step of the way.

Would absolutely recommend Chris and his team to anyone!

We never felt pressured and we always felt that he had our back, and was always at the ready when we saw a house on RedFin and were acting like children in a candy store, and also handled my wife's neurosis beautifully and with patience. Because of Covid we were having trouble getting any traction on our offers, and Thomas went above and beyond in the process and did his best in helping us submit our best offers. The house we are now going to call home, almost didn't happen because I was tired of the process and had lost hope in finding a home. Thomas gave us a gentle nudge and just kept his optimism on and sure enough, the next day we saw the house/condo and a few days later we were in escrow. Part of that was his great communication, being on top of things and also helping us work through so many obstacles we faced because of my 401K's rules. Throughout the home buying process Thomas was right there by our side, making sure things were taken care, and our loan docs were all in order and that all our questions were answered. I consider Thomas a part of our family now.

He also explained the mortgage process, and knows people that can preapprove a loan for my complicated transaction, although I think I got the mortgage part covered thru my credit union. Since I work long hours, I dont have a very flexible schedule to view homes, so he's been patient with me and my family, showing homes at my convenience at odd hours and short notice, now that's customer service. I now have him helping me sell my home so I can get a bigger home!

Considering that market rates were above 7%, when we were going through escrow, with Alan, we were able to secure a rate significantly lower. Our closing costs were also lower than anywhere else we had looked.

I had a really great experience, and I'm so glad that our realtor recommended that we work with them for our mortgage. I highly recommend working with first lending solutions if you're looking to buy a house.
