Smolin Lupin...Very disappointing and expensive experience…read more For many years my business used Smolin for accounting purposes and had no issues. Following a merger I had no choice but to use a different accounting firm, but I continued to use Smolin for our personal tax preparation. I had no problems for a number of years until somewhat surreptitiously, my senior accountant handed me off to a junior accountant. The young man was nice enough, but as it turned out, lacking in experience and competence. He made several cardinal errors, including forgetting to account for our dependent child as a deduction, and even more importantly, despite the fact that I am very careful about avoiding any tax liability at the end of the year by carefully paying quarterly estimates, he miscalculated estimates to the extent that I had to pay a major federal penalty with substantial interest as well. Smolin is not inexpensive, and we don't mind paying for quality, competent accounting but this was anything but. We decided that it was time to seek accounting consultation elsewhere and haven't looked back.

As a full time Realtor I have had the pleasure of referring Evident Title Agency on many occasions…read more But why do I do that? Well... To the average home buyer, the most present and forward facing real estate professional with whom you will interact will be your Realtor. Once you are under contract, however, your Title Agency becomes a very important supporting character. The guarantee of clear title is really just the beginning of what a good title agency does today. During the transaction, the Realtor coordinates most of the matters that are visible to the client while the title agency coordinates many parts of the transaction that are invisible to the client. We as Realtors rely on a good title agency to keep things in order on the back end. They keep us informed of certain developments, so that we can keep your transaction moving forward. You may not see what they do, but your Realtor will see it, and he (or she) will appreciate it when you've chosen a good one. But that's just during the transaction... When it comes to closing, Title Agencies have taken on a lot of the work of preparing closing paperwork which, for the buyer, can be extensive. For me, Evident Title has only been an aide in getting to the closing table on schedule, never an impediment. All of the closings I have done with Evident Title have been absolutely seamless, and they have truly been a pleasure to work with. Their thorough and organized approach to closing make working with them a pleasure for my clients, and they take time to fully answer the questions and concerns of my buyers. I have implicit trust for the work of Evident Title Agency. When it is time to buy a home - When you have had your offer accepted and it is being sent off to your attorney, tell your attorney that you want to use Evident Title Agency, and then give Evident a call and let them know. YOU are paying for your title services, and I recommend you choose the best. You'll be glad you did. For further questions regarding the home-buying process or a more extensive explanation of what title agencies do, feel free to private message me.
