I cannot recommend Settlement Ink highly enough and will be returning for their services for any settlement needs we may have in the future!

Beware. We were looking into renting a property managed by PMI Chevy Chase and our direct…read morecommunication was apparently with Nicholas Lazarchick, the company owner. They were nice at first and seemingly helpful, though it felt like very pushy salesmanship with bad flavor. Later, Nicholas was extremely rude and unprofessional when we decided to move forward with a different property not managed by them. Owners, do not use them, they removed the listing before we confirmed we wanted to rent the property; we did send in an application, though of course we sent in applications with multiple properties, as you do when considering searching for a home where you want to feel safe and comfortable with your family. We never made any obligation to rent, and never made a deposit. A listing should not be removed until a lease is signed and a deposit made; this should be normal operations for any respected property manager. Nicholas proceeded to tell us we didn't keep our word about renting the property, which is absurd since we never said we were moving forward after the application, not to mention he never communicated whether we were approved or not. His communication after the initial salesmanship was terrible. He challenged our integrity, which was very unprofessional, and also his claim was false. He proceeded to act as any rude salesman from there on out. There are plenty of great salesman out there whom I respect, but he acted like a disgruntled child when we told him no. Stay away from PMI Chevy Chase and Nicholas Lazarchick and choose a different company.

I had an excellent experience with Federal Title. I really appreciate their commitment to…read moretransparency, competition, and great service in the title industry. They encourage homebuyers to shop for title service, I think because they are confident they offer the best service and price. And that was certainly my experience! Many people don't compare prices for title insurance and can spend hundreds of dollars more because of it. I really liked Federal Title's office near U Street where we had the closing. Their staff was responsive to all my questions in the weeks leading up to closing. Our closing attorney, Chris David, was terrific. He was very helpful, friendly, and great at walking us through the paperwork and answering any questions we had. They had our paperwork scanned and sent to us very promptly. Their website and blog offer lots of great pieces of advice and information on different aspects of real estate closings and title insurance - a great resource to check out. I would highly recommend going with Federal Title!

If you are in the homebuying process or thinking about refinancing your mortgage, then I highly recommend the Counselor's Title LLC Team!!

1 Star - Avoid at All Costs…read more I've been a real estate agent for over 30 years, and I've never experienced anything as blatantly unprofessional as what I encountered with Counselors Title, LLC. In a recent transaction where I represented the seller, the buyer never submitted their earnest money deposit. Over and over, we asked the title company to confirm receipt -- a basic responsibility -- and Counselors Title repeatedly ignored us. Not only were they unresponsive, they effectively helped the buyer's agent hide the fact that the deposit was never made. While my client bent over backward to accommodate the buyer's numerous contract changes, the title company sat silent, knowing the buyer hadn't followed through on a fundamental obligation. Their refusal to communicate or act transparently was completely unethical. This is not just bad service -- it's a serious breach of professional integrity. I would never recommend Counselors Title to any buyer, seller, or fellow agent. There are plenty of competent, honest title companies out there. This is not one of them.

Our friends lived across the street so we knew the neighborhood very well. By recommendation of a friend, we found Katrina Schymik Abjornson with the Czuba Group. Katrina was extremely quick in response and guided us through the process. Within 24 hours of viewing the house by ourselves, we met with Katrina and had an offer on the table. During that time, she was extremely responsive to all of our questions, which were a lot! Katrina is warm, smart, and extremely professional. She guided us through the process and explained to us all the peaks and pits of every single aspect so that we could make the best decision. We were able to move up the closing date, and because Katrina was on vacation, Catherine Czuba assisted us with our closing. Catherine was such a pleasure to work with as well - very warm, enthusiastic, professional and smart. The entire time we worked with the Czuba Group I felt I was in the best possible hands and I'm grateful for the services they provided us. I highly recommended working with the Czuba Group.
