She is also very accommodating and will go the extra mile to make you happy and satisfied! Great job, Candice! God bless you! read more

I was very pleased with the service provided by Jaclyn and Betty Fong of Glen Oaks Escrow. Mine was a time consuming, complicated escrow with SBA as the lender. My experience with Glen Oaks Escrow was outstanding. They kept me informed during the process and guided me all the way. An invaluable service. read more

First time home buyer in 2021 and used Glen Oaks Escrow. I was not impressed with my experience using this escrow company. They didn't seem to care about me, my questions or my experience with the closing process. After the loan closed, they stopped responding to my emails when I had questions about how my name appeared on the title. There were a few other things that could have been improved as well. read more

Jaclyn is so kind, responsive and Extremely knowledgeable Smoothest escrow transaction ever! Thank you read more

Mark Farlane that "flips" houses for a prophet is a scam and I would never hire him again. He hikes prices and doesn't explain what's happening during the process. When talking to him on the phone he was rude and hung up on me and I still had to pay the outrageous costs. read more

Charlene was fantastic! This was my first home purchase and she was friendly, helpful, and efficient.

My family has worked with Candice Tuey in the past, and they love her work. For a recent property opportunity, we had the pleasure of working with her colleague Diego Reyes. Diego was professional and explained the process, which made things easier. We are happy to work with Candice and Diego for all opportunities. read more

Whatever you do please avoid working with Charlene. She messes up all the title work then refuses to fix it the way it should be done cause she knows more about real estate and about homes going into probate if title is not worded correctly. Anyways if you unfortunately get her read all documents twice before signing anything. read more

We just completed a Reverse 1031 Exchange for a mutual client. The escrow officer was Candice Tuey. Candice did an amazing job, was extremely professional, on top of the entire transaction, and a pleasure to work with! Thank you Candice, and we look forward to working with you again. read more

Charlene Sung and her team was great to work with; Very responsive and efficient. Looking forward to the next one!

I would 110% recommend Charlene to anyone who needs an escrow professional. She was supportive, professional, and responsive to all my questions. It was my first commercial transaction and she guided me through. It was a smooth and seamless transaction. read more

I worked with Candice Tuey on the sale of a commercial property. Glen Oaks on line forms we easy to navigate and comprehensive. Candice was prompt, thorough and very helpful and a joy to work with. Much appreciated! read more

I don't often write reviews, but when I do, it's because I either had an amazing experience or an awful one. In this case, it was the former. Jackie was incredibly helpful as our escrow officer and made our home-buying process quick and painless. Generally speaking, buying a house just felt daunting at every turn. Never had I ever felt more out of my element with the slew of documents and jargon I was completely unfamiliar with, but with Jackie's help and guidance, my wife and I were able to smoothly buy our first home! We can't thank her enough for all her help, and if you're looking to buy a property anytime soon, we would highly suggest going to Jackie or anyone at Glen Oaks. No regrets will be had, guaranteed. read more

These people were very unprofessional and lied to us multiple time. We were the sellers and were asked if the closing date could be moved up a week. We said yes and worked hard to get all our stuff out in just a couple of days. We had to move in with family and get a storage unit because where we were moving to was not ready. Then the arranged closing date comes and goes and the escrow company was not ready. They even tried to blame us saying they hadn't received documents from us, which we later proved they had never sent. For over a week we were told that closing would be the next day. It was extremely rude and unprofessional. If they couldn't get it done early then why did they say they could? I could have been living in my house this whole time. read more

I recently closed an escrow with Glen Oaks Escrow and Alina Chu was the escrow officer. She was fantastic! My company Boutique Realty and Reliable Home loans represented the buyers as their agent and mortgage broker. We closed on time and even could have closed over a week earlier if the parties wanted to. Alina and her team were responsive, friendly and a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend Alina and Glen Oaks! read more

great customer service and very prompt responses to my needs professionalism is top notch read more

Its customary in Southern California for the buyer and seller to each pay their own escrow fees. When I listed my property for sale, I got an offer from another escrow company to handle my future sale, at a price to me of just $500. (Remember that they would also get a much higher payment on the buyer's side of the deal.) When I finally had a deal to sell, the buyer's agent wanted to use Glen Oaks, which offered to match the offer I had received, so I said okay. Escrow seemed to go reasonably smoothly, but when I was presented with the preliminary closing statement just before close of escrow, escrow fees were listed at $750! I told the escrow officer, 'a-deal-is-a-deal,' and ultimately she did back down. I am also unhappy that the escrow officer requested a bunch of documents from the HOA's property management company which I had already provided to her. That opened the door for the property management company to overcharge me, and I wasn't able to do anything about it. I'm still giving Glen Oaks three stars, because overall they did a competent job and escrow closed just one day late. But clearly, it could have been better. read more

Charlene is always very responsive and professional and i know to at everything will be taken care of properly.

Betty and Jaclyn at Glen Oaks Escrow in San Marino were awesome in helping us to close Escrow! They made everything go smoothly, even when when we hit a few road blocks. Bank of America was taking really long to get our loan approved, but they were flexible and adjusted the dates for us to close on time. Thank you for making it a pleasant and efficient experience! read more

great place to do escrow very detail and fast . Ask for charlene sung . Did follow up with my condo during escrow ever few day to update me . read more

If there was a way to give negative stars, I would do that. WORST experience even dealing with Charlene Sung. Unfortunately escrow was chosen by the seller. She had no goddamn clue how to do her job. On several occasions, her work had to be corrected by me, my broker, or the loan broker, and the lender too. Several things were missed in closing and we are having to go back and fix them after the fact. So my fun for me . She is not responsive at all. She would take days to respond to emails and wait until the very last minute to do anything. Very infuriating. read more

This team is awesome. The communication was excellent, and they were on the ball from start to finish. Everything was easy for the closing of escrow. They were always available and was patient to explain any questions related to the closing. Once the seller's loan was funded, the money was in my bank within 2 days. The team at Glen Oaks made everything a cinch. No frustrations of any type. Thanks guys. I will definitely use you for my next R.E matter. Dave read more

I recently dealt with Glen Oaks Escrow on two issues. I was uncertain about the process ahead of me, but they went above and beyond with every interaction, and were polite and friendly on top of their clear skill in the industry. In particular, I worked with Alina Chu and Alica Chan, both of who are highly recommended. Thanks for making what could have been an intimidating process so straightforward! read more

Charlene Sung with Glen Oaks will always get my business! I am a Realtor with a brokerage that has their own escrow company and I still choose to use Charlene with Glen Oaks! She is knowledgeable, prompt, courteous , and professional! read more

Alice Chan and Jeanne Ono from Glenoaks is a wonder to work with ! Prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous in a nutshell. Escrow closed on time and it was as smooth as can be. All of our questions were answered and they made the daunting process of home buying easy. They are professionals who will explain everything thoroughly and will never throw curve balls at you. I would recommend the company to others to ensure a smooth buying experience. read more

Charlene was referred to me by a realtor friend to write a grant deed. She wrote it quickly and answered all of my questions by e-mail and over the phone. I highly recommend reaching out to Charlene for your escrow needs. read more

Very good escrow company. They treat customers right and know what they are doing. Always on top of their files and are proactive!

The service for post closing items has been awful. After 3 or 4 emails and a message, the agent Charlene Sung is still ignoring our requests for a certified closing statement despite the fact we have advised her the loan will not fund with out it. After this review the Owner and Manager stepped in and got us what we needed. Thank you management!!! read more

Key Company Leadership: Jeff Russell, President Scott Akerley, CEO Connie Schirtz, Operations Manager US ARMY VETERANS AND ALL MILITARY, FROM 1 Veteran to Another Stay Away!!! This Escrow company fails and charges ridiculous fee's they work to give realtors kickbacks and screw buyers, I recently received and email from Charlene Sung to pay for something they forgot to include in the escrow. They use deceptive techniques with Escrows to pursue and work there interests not buyers. They are glorified paper pushers stay away from this company they are a hack job of a firm. Who ever posts good reviews about them is more than likely a realtor getting kickbacks from them, There is other Escrow Company's out there that provide better service. I am a US Army Veteran and can honestly say this company is not par if your a buyer. Here is what I wrote Charlene, "  I believe considering since I have closed escrow and met every milestone requested from your escrow company our business is complete. If the escrow company failed to issue or cover pay for a notary then the escrow company should be responsible for pay of such services. Due diligence was not done on this escrow and if reflected in every process till day of signature and after. When the escrow company failed to send me my Earnest Deposit. I had to call numerous times and go out of my way for something you guys get paid to do. I will be posting this thread on your yelp and send all correspondences attached to your corporate board members or trustees. So they have visibility on this situation and correct some personnel actions. Please don't contact me anymore. " read more

Glen Oaks Escrow - Real Estate Services Near Me - San Marino, California

I feel compelled to warn people of what it is like to have Charlene Sung as your Escrow Officer ("EO"). She was selected by the Listing Agent and from the start, nothing went as it should. Escrow Instructions are sent typically within 2-3 days of opening escrow. Our lender was in need of them and his requests for them went unanswered by Charlene so he escalated it to me. I too contacted them, by phone, and by email and was promised they would go out the "next morning", then that changed to by "end of day", then end of day came and nothing- no escrow instructions, no email saying they left for the day with that still outstanding. In fact, I instead got a vacation responder letting me know she left for her vacation and left us in the lurch. Did she even apologize when she got back? No, at all. They promised them on a Friday and I actually got them on a Tuesday (day 7!!) with no acknowledgment of them being late, apology for ignoring my lenders requests, missing the promise they made, or anything of the sort. This was at the very beginning of the transaction but became a recurring theme. I point that out because if you choose badly, your Escrow Officer totally can cost you the deal. Charlene did not care, at all. Everything else was handled in the same way. When it came to signing loan docs, I checked in with our lender and was told loan docs were sent to escrow. When I checked with Charlene to confirm she received them, she said she didn't have them and would check and let me know. I never heard back again, not even 5-6 hours later. My Buyers, who by then didn't trust Charlene to do her job, decided to jump in the car and drive down from Northridge to San Marino to try to sign and sure enough when they arrived, the loan docs had been there, she just didn't let anyone know and didn't reach out to them to come sign. Thank God we took a gamble and drove over or we would have missed the day. So, my Buyers signed and left. I then wait to see if she would update me (as she has no idea I am aware that they have signed) and nope, nothing from her. Did she confirm that the final wire from my Buyers was received? Nope. Had to call and check on that too and when I did, of course, it had been received that morning and she had said nothing to us, leaving us to wonder and follow up. It all went this way. Then I'm told we're set to record on Thursday. Guess what I get in an email on Thursday around 3:30pm? Oops! Something got messed up, pushing to "recording 8am tomorrow". Not surprising- everything they touch goes like this. I check in at 8:50am to see if it's recorded and nope, now it's anytime today. I no longer believe a word that comes from her mouth. When I call to voice my frustration about how everything was done late, communication was lacking, I'm upset, my clients are upset, her response? Silence and then an "I'm sorry you FEEL that way", delivered in the most monotone uncaring way. She doesn't care and it's not worth discussing with her for that reason. That's why I am here, writing this. To save you the grief of working with such unapologetic incompetence. Purchases and Sales are stressful enough, without the added delays, lack of communication, and errors from your Escrow Officer. Do yourself a favor, use someone else. There are plenty of amazing escrow officers out there, including at Glenoaks Escrow like Alison Opalk or Janette Lomeli who I've worked with and were super on top of it. I hope this spares someone the frustration we encountered. This morning, 3 days post-closing, I receive an email from the Listing Agent's coordinator asking if we have closed on this file. She mentioned that she asked Escrow but didn't receive a response. She isn't aware we did close because Charlene left her (and my coordinator) off of the emails she sent, even though she's been instructed to include them. Why didn't she answer the question though when that coordinator did ask for an update? Well, are you surprised? Me either. She didn't answer because that's how it goes with her. The two stars are for the support staff, not our EO, she should be 0. They were the ones who actually did answer the phone and would check into things for me. If not for them, we really would have been flying blind. read more

I'm a new realtor in town! Holla! And I've had nothing but amazing experiences with Alina and her staff. They're extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. If Alina didn't know the answer (which was rare) she took the time to find out for me. Visiting her office was a breathe of fresh air. I knew I was taken care of. It also helped that the staff knows mandarin, Cantonese, and Spanish. Triple threat! I'm so excited to start a new career with such a great team. Thank god I found them early! Shoutout to the uncle that referred me to Alina! read more

They move like molasses and are rather lazy. When they need something from you, they want you to jump five minutes ago to do it. However, when it's a question you have you get a curt two word response. My escrow agent was Charlene Sung. I found her rather useless. We opened Escrow October 21st, completed due diligence and had our loan papers in her hands by Nov 7. Our original close date was set at Nov22. They had our downpayment and closing fees in the account Nov 11th and we signed the 12th (because they couldn't arrange the signing for the 11th). From here, we should have been 48 hours from closing. However Charlene dropped the ball and pissed away a week and a half. Needless to say, we are closing Nov 21st. Once she had our cash and knew she was getting paid, we went on the back burner. She made mistake after mistake and ran my loan company around. If you can avoid this company and Charlene please do. Incredibly unprofessional. Oh well, love my new place and even Charlene couldn't ruin that, so she gets a star because she closed by the date.... read more

I have been using Alina Chu and her team (Katherine Ip & Jessica Chu) for years and won't be switching any time soon. I was recently forced to use a different escrow company on a recent deal because the contract called for Seller's Choice and dealing with them made me appreciate how much I love working with Alina. They are extremely helpful, always on top of things, and great on following up with all aspects of the transaction. Their fees are competitive and their escrow instructions are easy to read. Don't waste your time with another escrow company when you can work with Alina Chu at American Trust Escrow! read more

Worst experience ever working with Charlene Sung at Glen Oaks Escrow. There was an issue with the title and she lied to me and told me the issue was resolved to get me to hurry up and close escrow. 2 weeks later I get a letter from the recorders office to tell me the house is still under the name of 2 owner ago. I called Charlene to fix this issue and she ignored my calls and emails for 2 weeks until I got her manager involved. It's been over a month since escrow closed and the house is still not under my name. This is clearly fraud and I will be reporting to better business bureau and getting a lawyer to sue them if they don't resolve this. I was ignored, lied to, and they've distributed my money without even getting the title cleared. If this issue isn't resolved soon, I will be suing them and going after their license so they can't lie and commit fraud with other people. read more
