As an all-cash buyer, I wasn't anticipating very many challenges with our transaction…read more Traditionally, the buyer doesn't select the title company that is used in the deal, and for our deal, the seller picked Rainier. It was a horrible experience, and no one on the team seemed to know what they were doing. Updates via email were non-informative; just the same contact information, agent photos and legal disclaimers. Then the icing on the cake was getting their demand for sensitive identity information and ID photocopies only hours before close. They had me over a barrel and I could either submit the information over unsecured email or risk being in breach of contract. I understand statutory requirements, but nothing explains why this required info was demanded at the 11th hour, or why it wasn't provided with the rest of the documents. My close was at risk, I couldn't sleep, and the sad thing is that it all could have been avoided if Rainier just did their job. Feel free to use these guys if you like drama and surprises. For me, I will write into my future deals not to use Rainier to handle title.

From the very beginning, she listened closely to our concerns and truly understood what we were looking for in a home. Every question we had was answered with patience and clarity, and every step of the process was explained so we always felt confident moving forward. What stood out most was how Jen not only met but exceeded our expectations--she found us a home that checked every box on our list. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for our needs made us feel supported from start to finish. We are beyond grateful for Jen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into an exciting and enjoyable one, and we couldn't be happier in our new home!

These land surveyors was very difficult to contact. After…read moremultiple attempts to go through their quote review request form on their "website" I never saw a response which prompted me after yelp asked my review later. I left a less than desirable review here in yelp and immediately Ryan began contacting me through Yelp. Then Ryan started calling me out like where's your email etc?? I have my own stuff going on and don't have time for their business communication management. I simply told him that I did not care to litigate this online and there was no point as we found a better firm that answers a phone, returns emails promptly etc. But clearly their mgmt of communication is a problem. Then later a fellow named Jim started into this. After that yelp removed my review for derogatory nature which was unfortunate. So clearly after asking me on the Yelp app where is your email? Was solved by Jim who subsequently sent my wife ( the manager of one of our properties) by a different name than mine and left it at that stating he could not help us at this time! I completely understand this as I don't want to do business with poisonous people either. But I gave them multiple opportunities to provide service and care but not a priority for them . The bottom line here is that this is a firm that does not have a staffed office, does not respond in real time to viable business requests, and wants to argue over their communication shortcomings with reviewers which I have no respect for. I've tried multiple times by phone to work this out with them even after I judged them as not being worthy to deal with. Do your due diligence before hiring this firm or whoever operates and works at it.

Can you believe it? Someone answered the phone! What a concept in todays business world! I was so happy to actually speak to a person. I explained my situation and asked if they could help. The person on the other end of the phone calmly explained they could and the process. She called me back when she said she would, keeping her word. She explained costs and when they could perform the property surveyance. From phone call to completion was one day! Everyone I talked to were professional and caring. The gentlemen who performed the survey were efficient and professional. All of my questions no matter how "silly" were answered patiently. I appreciate the customer service, friendly employees, and quick service provided. Thank you Orca team!

They do not work with the HOA to set up a reasonable budget and plan for reserves. And all the above is just a start. They know how to collect their monthly charges and they never miss those, but when it comes to services, I would suggest stay away from Port Gardner and either self-manage or find an alternative company.
