As in all companies, I came across good reviews and poor reviews regarding Pickford. Let me start by saying, this is my first ever transaction, and therefore have nothing to compare to, including the price for escrow. I became a broker to save my self some $$ on buying and selling my own place, nothing more. I don't plan on doing any more transactions unless my family wants to save some $$.
I dealt mostly with Anne Truscott, who was extremely promt and very friendly. I did not even know how to open escrow when this started. Anne must have answered 15 of my phone calls and 20 emails over the 45 day escrow, and all of them within 20 minutes during working hours. There was no ducking calls, delays in getting back to me, absolutely no problems whatsoever. In the end, Julie Wood took over to wrap up the process, perhaps she deals with the closing aspects, but equally helpful.
Fees for buyer, since I do not know how this ranks, for a 390K house were $885 escrow, 40$ messenger overnight, $50 archiving fee.
I would use them again without hesitation. read more
