Joy and her team at Settlement Ink are truly spectacular! They made the settlement process easy and fun. Joy prides herself on explaining the details of settlement, and being a first time home buyer, this is exactly what my wife and I needed on settlement day. I can't say enough great things about them. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and simply a pleasure to work with. - David and Casey read more

I am so thankful for the level of service they are able to provide my clients most importantly, and of course the support provided to me as the agent and the lenders/banks involved as well! Closing is always an anxious time for buyers/sellers regardless of the situation and a lot is going on at the end of the transaction/settlement. The ability for Moira and Joy to professionally yet effortlessly be succinct while intelligently explaining the closing docs, terms, legalities, etc is unparalleled. The entire experience is enjoyable and their ability to be witty & humorous is a huge value added and it does not go unnoticed! The listing agent (in this case not me) was impressed as well and had great things to say about you all and the level of service provided and plans to use them in the future. read more

Joy was wonderful to work with. We had a few hiccups in our closing process, but our settlement at Settlement Ink, even though we were all a bit crazed at the end of a whirlwind day, was very fun and relaxing! Joy's great attitude and the comfortable, homey environment at Settlement Ink really made the experience for us. read more

This was my second settlement with this company and I was not disappointment. Everything was organized and ready for signature. Very professional! read more

Could not have asked for a better experience closing on our first home! Joy and Lindsay were there with us every step of the way, answering question after question regarding title issues and providing all of the knowledge we needed to give us peace of mind. We would 100% recommend Settlement Ink to family, friends & acquaintances. THANK YOU, JOY & LINDSAY! We couldn't have done this without you! read more

I had a great experience here; very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend Settlement Ink!

Great experience. They were very professional and proactive in addressing some tricky situations. I was very impressed!

Joy is a joy! She met me at her office 5 minutes before closing office and notarized, photocopied and assessed that my closing papers were in order. This was a huge favor since I live in CA, am at a conference in DC, and closing on a house in GA. Wonderful service and a cute house-office too! Thanks Joy! read more

Amazing customer service from start to finish! I was in the process of refinancing my home and saw I had an option to choose my own Settlement company. Upon researching, I stumbled upon Settlement Ink through Yelp. The initial phone conversation was very friendly and they gave me all the necessary information to pass onto the lender. There was no delay in the closing date and it lasted about 30 minutes with them explaining each paperwork that needed to be signed. Settlement Ink was very responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I would definitely use their services again!!! read more

Stop looking around, this is the place. I went to two other title groups to help with research on an odd property. The other two groups were fine and I have no complaints but WOW Settlement Ink is amazing! No exaggeration. THIS IS WHY YELP EXISTS!!!! I came to yelp and for some reason the search for real-estate title and research just brings up a bunch of agents. It was hard to find this group but once I did I was so glad. Joy was my main contact (as it seems with most that do reviews on here). The property I want to do research on was complicated so she gave me advice that totally saved time and money. She spent about 90 min on the phone with me walking me through the research and my options at no charge. Firms and groups like this don't get nearly enough credit for the quality and service they provide. I wish I could give Joy an even higher review. As a heads up, this group is super busy so don't get put off if it takes time for them to get back to you. It took a bit of time for them to get back to me, but the quality of service was so high--I didn't care. I can't recommend them any higher. read more

Joy. Is. Amazing. I found Settlement Ink through Yelp and made first contact via phone with what I can say was one of the most spirited, intelligent, no-nonsense people I've ever spoke with on the phone. I was lucky to make first contract with Joy and although her entire staff is absolutely amazing, Joy is a special breed. I had just received a contract on a home that morning and explained to her that I was out in Cali for the weekend and was in need of settlement/title services and review of the contract as I was purchasing without a realtor. She gave me some very good advice over the phone that I would think one would typically pay a pretty penny for and half way through our phone call I knew she was the right individual to help me. I'm a first time home buyer that was pretty nervous with who I was going to have represent me and I must say, the Yelp reviews do not lie one bit. I retained Settlement Ink during my first phone call and from there on Joy and her team were very responsive, informative and direct. Everything I required and expected in a time sensitive environment as I was trying to close ASAP. I told Joy the day of closing I felt like I did barely anything aside from provide them a few documents they required, showed up the day of closing, signed some documents and bought a house. It was that easy. But after arriving the day of closing I realized just how much they had done in the background for me. Joy runs a boutique Settlement service, which I did not realize until my arrival the day of closing and even as a man who still enjoys three day old leftovers and is rarely impressed by anything, her place of business blew me away. Think about this, would you want to make the biggest decision of your life (second biggest if you're married, I guess) in an office with some stiff in a suit who looks at you as just another file, or with a fun, energetic, and superior attorney who puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole process? I know some of you will mess up and choose the suit, this is DC, but Settlement Ink is the ANSWER. Her office is an old cottage style house in the heart of downtown Bethesda with plenty of street parking. When I arrived, her legal assistant, Fatou, sat me at the dining room table where Joy met me shortly after. She walked me through each and every document, page by page, word by word if I asked, and didn't once get frustrated or upset even as other clients were waiting. She made sure I was comfortable with what I was about to sign and more importantly that I understood my obligations as a new homeowner. Joy was a pleasure to work with and I liked that she took the time to add the personal touch throughout our business together, as a social guy and people person, that speaks volumes to me about a persons character and overall business. Three weeks out since closing I've had no issues, not that I expected any at all. With all the other options out there, I still highly doubt there is any other settlement service in the DMV that's on par with Settlement Ink! read more

I have been using Joy since I got into the business 3 years ago! She has been absolutely incredible. She makes sure all parties to the transaction know what is going on at all times so there are never any surprises. She is easy to get a hold of, easy to understand, timely, and has all the soda, coffee and candy that you could want! I highly recommend Joy Siegel and her entire Settlement Pros team for all your Real Estate Settlements! read more

Hands down, the best of the best. I've been in the mortgage business for 11 years and have worked with 100's of title company's, Settlement Ink is truly a different experience. From start to finish there are never hiccups or delays, the staff is phenomenal and service is unbeatable. Thank you for being the best!!! read more

Joy and her team epitomize responsiveness and efficiency. From our initial email correspondence to closing day, my wife and I felt completely at ease during the purchase of our first home. I cannot recommend Settlement Ink highly enough! read more

This place seems fine but overall we were not impressed mainly due to the attitude of Joy, who is clearly over-worked and short on patience. She is very busy and does mostly all of the settlements there leaving customers with an exhausted, stressed out, and irritated person to communicate and work with. If you are a buyer who understands business and has a mind of your own, Joy is likely not the best match for your settlement. read more

Joy is a JOY to work with! (I wonder how often she gets that). But seriously, my husband and I are first time home buyers and she walked us through the whole process so precisely and concisely! She did absolutely everything for us, and then some. She truly went over and beyond and saved us thousands of dollars in closing costs! I selfishly hope she never retires so I can acquire her services for every real estate venture we have in the future! We gave her hardly any notice, days before closing, and she took care of all of it immediately. She explains things clearly, always listens to questions and comes up with alternatives and answers, and ALWAYS has her clients' best interest in mind. She truly is the best of the best and we so look forward to working with her again! Thank you times a million, Joy! :-D ~Shida & Jeff read more

After creating an account with them, they e-mailed my password to me in plain text. This is extremely irresponsible. I cannot trust them with such large finances if they can't even keep my password secure. read more

Joy and her team did an awesome job of helping us through the settlement process. She took her time and explained every little detail and answered all of our questions with patience. I would absolutely recommend Settlement Ink to a friend! read more

Where can I begin with this great group of people. I have found the entire team at Settlement Ink to be an integral part of my real estate business. I can trust their advice and situation assessment to be accurate and reliable. They never make excuses or wing it as I've witnessed elsewhere. I get reliable and up to the minute information on where things are and how the process is going each time I ask. I can in turn advise my clients based on all information available rather than trying to guess. I am able to provide better service because they are so awesome and that's very important to me. They stick it out when things get difficult and never make anyone feel as if they are imposing or unworthy of the time requested. Better than outstanding professionals they are wonderful people that I look forward to seeing at each settlement. Definitely my go to choice! read more

Settlement Ink came highly recommended from my ex and I am so happy I took his advice. From the moment I contacted them it was smooth sailing. Moira was fast, efficient and very knowledgeable. I had no clue what to expect being a first time home buyer. Settlement Ink eased my fears and explained everything to me clearly. Definitely will recommend to anyone buying a home. Totally AWESOME! read more

What a delight! We have owned 11 homes in 4 states and this is best title and settlement company I have ever worked with. The offices are cheerful and stylish, everyone who works here is professional and dedicated. An oasis of peace and care in any transaction. Would never go anywhere else ever again! read more

The ladies at Settlement Ink are fantastic! I can't say enough good things about Joy and her team. They are super friendly, hard working and make the process smooth and easy. Their portal is so easy to use and convenient. I highly suggest Settlement Ink for all your settlement needs! read more

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Joy and her team of professionals during the purchase of my first home in DC. Despite the 5,000 miles distance between us during the process, Settlement Ink's responsiveness, patience, and knowledge were unparalleled. For Service Members that receive orders to DC, MD, or VA and are in the market to purchase a home, I confidently recommend Settlement Ink. Joy and her team are honest, forthright, and extremely meticulous in the performance of their duties. I am sure you will be happy with the professionals on Chestnut Street. read more

Every one of my settlements upon my insistence has been at Settlement Ink. The level of professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. If you want it done right, in a timely and efficient manner than settlement Ink is for you. I would recommend this company over and over again. I am and will continue to be a lifelong customer. Thanks Settlement Ink for being the best of the best!! read more

I have been through this process many, many times. Without a doubt, this was the smoothest, easy, relaxing, calm experience I've ever had. Lovely place, very friendly & professional staff. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Everything was explained, I didn't feel rushed, they answered every question & we were out in less than 1 hour. SWEAR! No stress at all....ask about the baby goat! read more

the "Settlement Sisters" are my favorite and the easiest referral for me to make! you can't beat their skill set and service! The Settlement Ink team as a whole are unmatched in their attention to detail and knowledge. They have and continue to be a valued source to both me and my clients! They are absolutely the settlement team you want to have with you as you approach and cross that finish line in your real estate transaction! read more

Settlement Ink is great at meeting customer needs. I would refer any of my friends to them. Joy and her team are on top of everything you need for the best settlement process. They bring a personal feeling to what is often, a very impersonal process. read more

Settlement Ink is the title company of choice for most of my clients. Moira Olevsky and her staff are the best in the business. They work hard to make sure the transaction makes it to settlement with their great attention to detail and know how to solve problems should they come up. Moira's amazing knowledge of TOPA makes her the obvious choice when you are purchasing a tenant occupied property in DC. read more

What a wonderful experience! I have never before been to a real estate settlement that was actually fun! Joy and her team are organized, knowledgeable, efficient, and provide a warm and friendly setting for a home settlement. Their secure online portal makes the pre-closing and closing process very easy to follow. I highly recommend them. read more

I've been fortunate to have many settlements with settlement pros over the years and they have always helped the transaction go both timely and smoothly. Moira is both confident and succinct with how she goes through the paperwork and makes everyone feel comfortable and calm. Things always come up in real estate deals, and they are always proactive, responsive and professionals. I will continue to refer my clients to settlement pros, Moira, Joy and their staff are awesome and make Settlement fun! read more

I absolutely love working with Settlement Ink. They were true professionals when I bought my first house. We had to deal with a very difficult and angry seller and a surprise foreclosure issue but the women handled him with grace and nerves of steel. They are awesome and I was extremely happy to get to work with them again on a quitclaim deed. While doing that, Joy recommended I refinance and gave me stellar recommendations. Now I'm saving almost $600 a month. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Settlement Ink. read more

Absolutely fantastic! I was recommended to Settlement Pros over 15 years ago when I bought my first house. Joy was fantastic. Very detailed oriented and persistent. You can be assured that everything is done right for you the first time. I have since used Settlement Pros and Joy for eight purchases and refinances. The most recent for a very complicated country purchase which required an expert in the field of closing. Joy was exactly who we needed and she addressed and resolved every issue. I HIGHLY recommend Settlement Pros. If you are looking for a firm that knows real estate, will pursue every angle to protect your purchase, and provide the most expert advice, it is Joy and Settlement Pros. read more

Fantastic work. Friendly, efficient, organized. Would absolutely use again.

When meeting with clients for the first time I explain the importance of selecting the right Settlement company, Settlement Pros is always on the top of my suggested list. This is because Joy, Moira & the entire Settlement Pros team goes above and beyond to make it a smooth transaction. They are extremely helpful even before my clients make and offer by checking to make sure there is nothing out of place on the title to give my client that extra peace of mind that it will be smooth sailing to settlement. They take there time to make sure everyone is comfortable with what they are signing. They remain calm and collected even when one side of the transaction is not behaving properly. When buying, selling or refinancing Settlement Pros is there to take care of your needs. read more

Since my review, I've refinanced. This time I worked with Joy and she was equally as amazing. If you want a smooth closing (with snacks) - go here! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Settlement Ink! Joy explained everything to us in terms we could understand and took the time to answer all our questions. Five big stars! We will definitely recommend Settlement Ink to anyone that asks! read more

I dislike social media and never write Yelp reviews, but felt inspired to chime in after reading the first one on this page. This is a five-star company, and credit should be given where due. As a real estate agent in DC and Virginia, Settlement Ink is the settlement company I most often recommend to my clients for consideration. They are expert in managing smooth closings, and I'm always comforted by the fact that they know how to diffuse last-minute issues that could derail a transaction for buyers and sellers. More often than not, transactions close without any problems, but when unforeseen circumstances do arise, it's vitally important to have a settlement company that is able and willing to work toward a resolution. On more than one occasion in just the last few months, I've been grateful that my clients selected Settlement Ink precisely because they could navigate through challenges in getting to closing. In addition to the above, what helps this company stand out from others is their glowing team, notably Joy and Moira. Both settlement officers bring a rare combination of patience, knowledge, care and wit to closings that I rarely if ever see at other companies. Their entire team understands that the real estate business is largely one of customer service, and they're always happy to help when clients have questions about title issues, tenant rights, plats and surveys, among myriad other complex topics. They make themselves available to clients and prospective clients before, during, and after real estate settlements. Minor as it may seem, but since I think presentation matters, I find it reassuring that clients are also impressed by the company's charming office space, which is both classy and welcoming. I encourage anyone considering this company to review their website or call them with any questions; this is the same advice I give to my clients, if they have any doubt about who they should use. read more

Settlement Ink handled the transactions for my first home purchase. They made the experience very smooth. Having little knowledge of the home buying process they did a great job at walking me through all of the paper work. Additionally, they were very responsive to every request, and made sure everything was collected for closing! read more

As a realtor, I have done many settlements with Settlement Ink and have been more than satisfied to see how my clients are treated with the utmost respect and consideration in addition to a professional and thorough work that they do. I highly recommend them for your settlement needs. read more
