I was helping my mom sell a rental property on my own and it was an insanely stressful property. After a couple long coversations with Tricia, I handed over the reigns.

I cannot recommend Tricia highly enough for anyone selling a property.

Mary Fujisaki and Harbor Lights Escrow was referred to me by my Attorneys office. I had been…read moretrying to close a difficult and complex Real Estate deal that stumped my previous title and escrow companies. It was one problem after another with this previous team and I just couldn't take it any longer. I was calling everyone to find a competent replacement. I finally reached out to my Attorneys to locate an Escrow savant for simple to complex deals and Mary came highly recommended by this firm. I quickly got on a call with her and explained the situation. I notice right away that she didn't stumble at all on many of the more difficult points of my transaction. She followed along as I navigated the complexity of the deal and she just got it. It was so damn refreshing to find someone that understood the complexities of a structured entity deal. At the end of our conference call, I asked her to come on board, take the lead and get the deal closed. Mary accepted the challenge without hesitation. Mary closed what was over a 10 month long painful process and did it in about 2-3 weeks. It was challenging at times and she mentioned to me that in her long career, she hadn't experienced such a complex deal in awhile but this did not slow her. She was professional and highly competent and lived up to her reputation and she closed it in the timeframe she promised. I highly recommend Mary and her team at Harbor Lights Escrow. Mary now handles all of my Real Estate transactions. She has earned my trust and loyalty and has now become an invaluable asset on my investment team. Look no further than Harbor Lights Escrow for a smooth transaction. You won't regret it.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND HARBOR LIGHTS ESCROW…read more Working with Annette and Mary was one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I've had with any service provider. While they were quick to demand signatures and documents, they became unresponsive and evasive when it came time to release funds they were holding--money I was clearly owed. Annette, who handled most of the communication, frequently appeared confused and unsure of basic escrow procedures. Even worse, Mary--the owner--never once responded to my repeated inquiries about a significant estoppel holdback. This lack of accountability and professionalism is unacceptable, especially in a business handling financial transactions. If you're looking for a transparent, competent escrow company, look elsewhere. I wouldn't trust Harbor Lights Escrow with a dime.

This transaction wasn't an easy one; it fell out of escrow twice, but the third time was truly the charm. Throughout the entire process, Toni and Rosanna went above and beyond to handle every challenge with professionalism, patience, and unwavering dedication. Their communication was clear and consistent, and they always made me feel supported, even during the most stressful moments. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and expertise. If you're looking for an escrow team that is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend Overland Escrow. Thank you again, Toni and Rosanna--you made this journey so much smoother, and I couldn't have asked for better support! I forgot to mention Overland's pricing was excellent. I got bids from 3 other escrows and Overland had the very best price for me!!

I came across a few with good reviews but Overland Escrow was the number one rated company at the time. After checking their webiste and learning of the company history and their insurance coverage, I called and spoke with Sullivan Garret. Sullivan answered all of my questions and gave me a summary of the company and that is was a family run business that enjoyed the work they did.. He was also the only one to explain the Franchise Tax Board withholding for rental property sales that two other agents failed to mention. He's very personable, easy to speak with and has a great radio voice. The company has a 2 story office building on the corner of Venice and Cardiff making it easily accessible for my parents. It's located near Old Town Culver City. It's local to the Palms, Beverlywood area. As soon as my parents signed the offer on the property, our Redfin Agent emailed Sullivan with all the necessary documents on Christmas Eve. From opening escrow, to signing documents and the wire transfers, everything went smoothly. Sullivan always took the time to answer any questions and explain all costs related to the escrow funds. I never had to leave a voicemail. He communicated via phone and email in a very timely fashion. I couln't have asked for a better escrow experience. I will be recommending them to anyone looking for an honest and professional escrow company. We will be doing business again. Thank you Overland Escrow.

Brian helped fund the deal on my first house purchase waaaay back in 2001. He also helped refinance…read morethat same house twice following the purchase when rates dropped. Fast forward to today... I almost made the mistake of going with one of "the big firms" who claim they fund their own loans. During the process of using "the other guys" I had a bad feeling about the numbers as they kept creeping up. They wanted me to lock in a rate, but wanted me to pay $2k just to lock in the low rate they quoted me a day before as "rates are rising daily." I called Brian, apologized that I ever considered someone else and asked what rate he could lock me in at. Well, he not only locked me in at the same low rate the other lender offered "at the cost of $2k", but Brian locked me in AND got me a lender credit of $3k towards closing costs. So in short, Brian saved me $5k with a simple phone call. He also had no problem locking in a lower rate if they dropped while in escrow, where as the other "big firm" said once it's locked... it's locked. I am sorry for cheating on you Brian, never again.

There is a reason Alison is listed among America's best real estate agents. She is a rockstar…read more We randomly met Alison years ago at an open house when we first started looking for a home. As first time home buyers, she spent over an hour with us walking through what we should expect in the process and giving us details of neighborhoods and the local communities. She took the time to understand what we wanted in a home and then used her network to find us our dream home, off market. When we decided to sell, our first call was to Alison. We were a bit concerned about selling our home during a pandemic, but Alison reassured us of the safety precautions she and her team were taking - and made sure that everyone that entered our home followed the same precautions. Alison operates with the highest integrity. It is clear she is passionate about real estate and her clients. She was there every step of the way, understanding our needs, making sure we understood the process, pros and cons of every decision, and what we should expect next. And best of all, she breathes the South Bay. She knows the neighborhoods, understands the communities, and is well networked. We highly recommend Alison and are thankful we found her. She is simply the best.

With her long standing, sincere and active dedication to our South Bay community and well…read moredemonstrated industry savvy, we knew going into our search for our first home that Alison was our best possible asset. Having lived next door to her for several years, she'd become a trusted neighborhood Auntie -- going out of her way to give our daughter opportunities and support and being a general ray of sunshine in our lives. We conducted a couple of extensive home searches with Alison, both strained by acute and 'historic' market conditions beyond our control (2020 & 2024) -- her relentless perseverance, patience and creative thinking saved the day in the face of unique challenges and the intense (aka painful) realities of inventory and budget. Alison's steady hand and consistent willingness to go above and beyond also saved our sanity! Her nonstop referrals to excellent service providers from lenders and inspectors to plumbers and roofers guided our process, surrounded us with care & expertise, and dramatically empowered our level of confidence to navigate the wild ride of SoCal real estate. We could always trust her to give it to us straight, never sugar coat, and yet also gently guide when circumstances became raw (inevitable in buying your first home in one of the most challenging markets that exists!). Alison is incredibly responsive, diplomatic, sensitive, and well versed in the ins-and-outs of our housing market -- all of which eased the process, gave us peace of mind, and most critically, allowed us to make a smart purchase & wise investment that gave us comfort, security, and value. She is practical, has an excellent design eye, energetic, ultra professional, and deeply thoughtful. If there's information she doesn't have readily on hand (rare), she will track it down promptly and precisely every time. Her positive energy is infectious and she puts her client's needs above all else. It's hard to say enough to fully describe Alison, as she's more of an experience than a real estate agent! As first-timers, the purchase process can be profoundly confusing, disorienting and daunting. So having the right person (literally) by your side is a true game changer. We will return to her expert care when it's time to sell or buy in the future, without question. And meantime, she's become a treasured part of our extended family -- the cherry on top!

From our very first consultation call, my wife and I knew this team would be the ones to get the job done and would go above and beyond to represent us in a highly competitive real estate market. There was never any pressure from them. We could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted, and they respected our pace every step of the way. They were always available and accommodating when it came to showings and open houses. What we appreciated most was their honest and insightful opinions about the properties we toured -- details that only experienced realtors would notice, and things you might never even consider as a first-time home buyer. They are always available to hop on a call and quickly respond to texts for any question (trust me we had a lot). When we finally found a home we loved, they walked us through the offer process and helped us craft a competitive offer that allowed us to stand out. Escrow was completely stress-free, as they arranged inspections and coordinated everything so seamlessly. There was a small hiccup the day before our closing -- through no fault of this team whatsoever -- but they were immediately on top of it, working swiftly with our lender, escrow agency, and insurance agent to ensure we closed right on schedule. We are extremely grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance the team at Hirano Homes provided throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with them, and I am so glad we did -- because we ended up with the perfect home for us!
