Working with Jennifer on the purchase of my first home was an incredibly positive experience. From…read morethe very beginning, she made what could have been a complicated and overwhelming process feel completely manageable and stress-free. Jennifer was not only highly knowledgeable about every step of the loan process but also took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout. What I appreciated most was how client-centered she was. She was always responsive, transparent, and truly committed to helping me secure the best possible outcome. Thanks to Jennifer's professionalism and support, I was able to close on my dream home smoothly and on time. I am so grateful for such a dependable and trustworthy partner on this journey, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a loan agent!

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.

After recently purchasing a condo where Tami Humphrey was the sellers agent, I'm left feeling…read moreexhausted and disappointed by her unprofessionalism, communication delays, and failure to address agreed-upon inspection items. Throughout the process, there were several delays due to her team not obtaining essential financial documents from the HOA for our lender. We had to take matters into our own hands and even escalate the situation to her supervisor at Palm Realty to get the necessary tasks completed, especially when she was often unavailable. If I wanted to handle the entire transaction myself, I wouldn't have needed an agent taking a percentage. During the initial walkthrough, after she assured us all inspection items were resolved, we discovered leaking showers, unaddressed bathroom fixtures, poor patch jobs, and a mess left behind by her stagers, who also put holes in the walls and left without cleaning up. To make matters worse, her stagers damaged the front door of the building, denied it, and only the HOA's security footage confirmed it. I'm not sure who she selects to work for her but we even found the sliding door handle was broken and "repaired" up with callking a day after moving in. The rugs used for staging were also concealing floor scratches, which we had already noted in the inspection report. Throughout the process, Tami's unwillingness to apply herself to a smooth transaction was concerning. I could really go on, but I think the lack of work ethic and aversion to professional responsibility I witnessed was breathtaking. I've purchased homes in many states but I would definitely say this transaction was the worst I have seen anywhere. Working with her and her team was, to put it mildly, unpleasant. My advice to anyone would be to pay close attention to every detail, or you might end up with a home that doesn't feel as new and pristine as you expected.

Appreciate the time these people took to accommodate my specific needs. Would definitely use them…read moreagain!

There were missteps, lack of communication, no sensitivity to contract deadlines, closing documents along with credit payment sent regular mail with no tracking and 2 weeks later have still not arrived. We had to have them reissue the check and pick up closing package at their office. We were prepared to close on the home a few days early but it ended up closing 10 days late, through no fault of others, which created problems for us moving in. We've bought and sold numerous homes and have never experienced bad service like this!
