We recently worked with Tamara Wyatt and Team AJ on a transaction that was a little complicated due to our clients VA loan. She was the glue holding everything together. Her communication was clear, consistent, and proactive, making sure all parties were informed and aligned every step of the way. You can tell she truly cares about her work and the people she's supporting. I would highly recommend Tamara and Team AJ to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and genuinely outstanding escrow team! I look forward to working with them again! read more

The entire experience of selling my home was smooth and easy. They laid out all the steps and dates, and signing most of the docs was easy to do electronically so that the in-person notary signing was super fast. Thank you! read more

It was so easy to communicate! Excellent job! Fast, knowledgeable! Erin was very helpful and always answered our calls and questions! Highly recommend!! Thank you so much! read more

Shannon was such a pleasure to work with. Great communication through out the process. Even though I had trouble with electronic items, she worked with me to clear up my issue. I was able to meet with her face to face also. it's nice to have that personal touch. Very smooth transaction. Thanks for the support. read more

I had an incredible experience with Erin Gochenour! She was a "get it done" type with a smile, SO professional and a quick responder. My escrow closed yesterday and it felt easy! read more

For over 5 years we have worked with Andrea and her team at Foundation Escrow. With nearly 25 years in the real estate business and having worked with several wonderful escrow teams, it is easy to say, what a wonderful partner Andrea and her team are for Phillips + Co Real Estate. Morning noon or night Hewan and the entire team are there for all of us and always take such special care in working with our treasured clients. They work to keep us current on marketing trends and other opportunities.... a true partner! read more

Andrea S. & Team AJ hit my escrow out of the park!! This escrow was by far my best escrow experience in the past 20 years! Andrea and her team were prompt and thorough. They always responded to my emails promptly. In past escrows, I always had to stay on top of the calculations and often ask for corrections and adjustments....usually the day of closing! With Team AJ, they had my escrow 100% accurate from beginning to end and I didn't have to ask for any amendments at all!! Selling and buying property during the pandemic was stressful, to say the least...but my escrow with Foundation North County and Andrea & her Team did not add to that stress! I can't thank them enough. If you have the opportunity to choose your escrow, pick this escrow company and ask for Team AJ!! read more

We love Foundation Escrow North. They have a great team and not only stay on top of all their files, I appreciate the accuracy of their work plus the timeliness of their responses. Our team has been using Foundation Escrow North for the past 5 years after working with many good escrow companies over the past 20 years. Foundation Escrow North is our 1st choice of escrow companies to work with to insure and accurate & timely closing, not to mention extremally kind and helpful to our clients. read more

I worked with Andrea, Heather, and Tamara on the purchase of my first condo and they made the 10 day closing period stress free for me. They all had ample communication with me at all times, while upholding confidentiality/security when necessary. I cant recommend them enough! read more

I love working with Foundation Escrow. The entire team is amazing at what they do. Simply put, they are the best in the business!!

I was not happy with my overall service from Foundation Escrow. It started off with a phone call and no documentation for me to wire earnest money funds for my purchase. When I asked for some documentation showing a request for the funds and what they would be used for, my request was met with confusion. Would anyone feel comfortable wiring funds to someone as a verbal request over the phone with no documentation? No document showing that escrow was opened, no document with a request for funds, just a phone call and confusion that I asked for any of that before wiring $20K. Communication was not forthcoming or proactive from the agents involved at anytime during the entire transaction until the last 24 hrs. We were in a very tight situation for the seller and had the escrow agents at Foundation been more proactive about making sure that everyone was informed and in the loop, the transaction would have closed on time and gone more smoothly. Documents were sent to me that required an escrow agent's expertise, but the agent did not understand how to fill-out the forms. I had to ask the agent to actually open the email and look at the form since she didn't understand what I was asking. Some of the names and information on the real estate and escrow forms were not accurate. This was the seller's chosen escrow company and the seller's name was incorrect on some of the documents. I have never dealt with such disorganization with an escrow company. read more

Heather, Andrea and team knock it out of the park with their service every escrow we have with them. Very efficient team from open to close of escrow. They have such a smooth system in place that no one steps on each other's toes, and you never have to duplicate efforts resending documents over and over like some other teams we have worked with. Every time I see their names on a new escrow I jump for joy! :-) Highly recommend this team of ladies if you are looking for a great escrow company! read more

So amazing! Erin is a rock star! The entire process was way and Erin was so accommodating! Definitely recommend this company for any future sellers! read more

We had two lovely experiences with your business.... thank you for making my process easy to follow and understand. Between selling and buying our homes the stress and doubts were unbearable. Your help with understanding both processes helped alleviate the insecurities. Thank you again and I will definitely recommend you! read more

First time working with Foundation Escrow. Truly a fantastic experience. Andrea and her team were amazing start to finish. The last day we had some hiccups in the closing that they were able to very quickly trouble shoot get corrected. I am so impressed with the professionalism, communication and responsiveness of Andrea Schmitt and her team. I look forward to working with them again. read more

My partner & I really enjoyed and appreciated working with Nicole. She made the process seamless and did a great job explaining the process. My partner & I were told that buying a home can be overwhelming but our process was so wonderful because of Nicole's willingness to stay on top of each step of the process. We appreciate everyone's hard work and willingness to work with us. We hope to do business with Foundation Escrow again in the future. Kesia R. Williams & Janet P. Ortega read more

They did a great job. I found the document signing a little confusing but that may because I'm from the time of paper documents.

Awful escrow company. My escrow process ended up canceled by the sellers because of this escrow company's incompetence. They costed me a property. I'd advise to stay away from them. I've used other escrow companies in the past, and it's a day and night difference. They started with bombarding me with identical emails and yet did not provide clear instructions on how to make a deposit. They use FedEx! Who uses FedEx these days? It's such an awful company. They ended up holding my mail for over a week in Oakland when I shipped my check from San Diego to Rancho Bernardo. read more

Love these gals. They do a great job and are on top of it. The first home we bought we didn't use an agent and they got us all the docs we needed to purchase without broker or agent... great service I tell ya. Most recently bought and sold another home... on top of it they were as usual. Use them! they are quick, courteous, organized, and very on top of all docs. read more

Just finished our transaction with Foundation Escrow. Have to say, after going through at least 15 transactions over the years, this is the worst performing escrow company we've ever encountered. For example, we received multiple random documents from their other clients during escrow. After telling them, they just brushed it off and stated they take confidentiality very seriously (well for some clients obviously). In addition, many documents arrived late or we have to haggle them to get documents typically sent automatically. Their indifference actually helped us out because we got to delay removing our contingencies, but their performance is not impressive.... I wasn't going to write a review, but since they explicitly asked for a review, here is my honest review. read more

I just finished closing escrow with Foundation Escrow North County. Jacque and her team were very professional and attentive. They made the complicated process of buying a home flow seamlessly. I especially would like to thank Andrea for addressing all my questions and concerns in a thorough and prompt manner. Her consideration, and excellent communication skills were very appreciated by me and my realtor Suzanne Kindschi. Thank you, Team Jacque for your guidance and support. Bonnie Wood read more

As a first time homebuyer, thank you Maria and the Foundation Escrow team for their excellent customer service and professionalism. Maria and her team went above & beyond last minute to make my dream home happen. Maria I cannot express how thankful I am for you constantly staying on top of my questions and coordinating last minute actions with my realtor. Highly recommend! read more

Let me start off this review by saying just a amazing experience! Jessica M was our escrow officer and she made this process painless and simple. She was on top of everything and helped my wife and I get into our home With no delays or problems at all. Thank you Jessica and foundation escrow. We will absolutely use you again. read more

I wish we used a different escrow company, what a nightmare. They have not paid out my homeowners insurance premium, which is now past due. I paid this through closing costs, and it was specifically listed as supposed to be paid through escrow. Same story with my home warranty. BEWARE of using Foundation Escrow. I've called multiple times throughout the process to get them to follow through on what they're supposed to do (I should not have to do this). Many times when I've called, their voicemail box is full. I have no confidence that they are following through with paying out all line items wrapped up in my closing costs, and I'm worried about things going wrong post home purchase. I do not recommend using Foundation Escrow when buying a home. read more

I've been working with Andrea Schmitt at Foundation for close to a decade. In the last year, I've had a number of transactions with her wonderful team of Heather Wolf and Tamara Wyatt. Together, they make an excellent team and I've always had great service from them. This past winter, as folks were getting ready for the holidays and many were navigating various sicknesses, I had a transaction that required a few extra steps in regards to paperwork. Heather went out of her way to make sure that nothing fell between the cracks and eveyone was on pace to close on time. Not only that, but I found out that while she was keeping eveyone on schedule, she was also battling COVID. Of course, one should not expect that their escrow officer will always perform 100% when they are recovering from COVID, but it just goes to show the type of service Heather Wolf provides, and the type of team Andrea is running at Foundation Escrow. I highly recommend this group of professionals. read more

I have been through some real, painful & expensive problems with other escrow companies & with all of the refinancing being done now expected the same with Foundation. Not one problem or delay. They were incredibly good about keeping me informed at each step. What a good find. I actually was able to close several days early! A.J. Votek read more

Terrible service in the end, the house we sold was recorded and turned over to the new buyers 5 days before we received our money. We were told this would not happen but they dropped the ball. We would never use this company again. I'm in the process of filing a complaint with the state of California. David read more

I wish all Escrow companies worked like these girls did! read more

We used Foundation Escrow this past month and had a number of issues. It took until day 30 for the paperwork to correctly reflect the right name for the buyer after several requests to make it right. The name actually took on two different versions. Also trying to reach them by phone is futile. I was put on hold and intercepted by the front desk so many times while trying to get escrow instructions by phone, per their request, and also when wiring funds. They were toooo busy until I said I wouldn't be wiring money, then they suddenly were available. Poor customer service. read more

I recently purchased a home in San Diego and worked with Desiree who was FANTASTIC! She was highly responsive, addressed all of my questions and anticipated all things required with my closing. I had a very hectic international work travel schedule and managed to meet an aggressive 14-day closing due to the guidance, great communication and hard work from Desiree and her team. Desiree was on vacation during part of the closing period so Heather assisted who was equally wonderful to work with. They were a great team and made everything very easy! I absolutely recommend working with Desiree and Heather and will personally reach out to work with them again for future home purchases! read more
