This review is long in coming, and it's been more my laziness versus and issues with Jamie and his…read moregreat company. We worked with Jamie on two different houses and could not have been happier with our experience across the board. The first was our first house purchase ever, so we were certainly apprehensive approaching the situation. Jamie had worked with a family member numerous times and came highly recommended, and he certainly lived up to that reputation. I really appreciated Jamie's cautious hand in our dealings; he was never over bearing when it came to offering advice about a potential house or price, but he was always there when we had questions. We likely saw 30 houses, and each one was approached in a calm and methodical way by Jamie or one of his team members (all of whom were excellent as well). The second experience with Jamie was in 2021 when the housing market was basically going nuclear. Not only did we need to get our house ready to move, but we had to trust what Jamie told us when it came to taking that potential payoff and applying it to the next home. Even though we had an idea of the area we needed, Jamie was there to offer suggestions and actually came through huge in finding our current home before it even hit the market. When we knew we wanted to make changes to the house, he provided contractors and others who gave us a pretty spot on idea what the costs would be. As with any purchase, there were a few bumps along the way, but he quickly dealt with each with barely any need of additional help on our end. When it came to the sale of our own house, Jamie was on the spot throughout the process, from suggestions on how we do a better job of sprucing up the home to managing heightened expectations when it came to sales price. Considering we sold our house for about 3x the price, we were quite happy. Selling your house? Work with Jamie Buying a house? Work with Jamie. I've referred so many friends his way and not one has regretted it. Neither will you.

We were in the process of selling a house in Coastal North Carolina and purchasing a place in…read morePhoenix during a difficult market and all within a matter of three months. The Thompson Group more than met the challenge! Jamie kept us apprised of properties we were interested in and Corey was excellent at providing online communication and resources that helped us locate the perfect place. Also, the personal attention we received both while we were traveling to see properties and all the way to the closing day details was outstanding. To top off this excellent service, they even went above and beyond after closing when we had an issue. First class service; thank you Thompson Group.

I had an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with Beth Jo and her staff…read more It started with a low ball appraisal from an appraiser that they selected, which had very poor reviews (Joseph's Appraisal Group - read their reviews), which I attributed to just wanting a quick sale at my expense. I was allowed to order a separate appraisal, and when it came back almost $50K higher, they would not recognize it, even though they said I could obtain another appraisal if I wanted to pay for it. When I got their appraisal, I discovered that my Ex Wife had trashed the condo, ripped out carpet and flooring, ceiling tiles, electrical outlets, etc., in order to get the price down so that she could purchase cheap. She also let her son move in with his German Shepard. When I asked that Beth Jo bring the issues to the Judge for resolution, she stated "We do not have the authority to instruct either party to make repairs or for the cost of those repairs to be deducted from one parties sale proceeds", and "Our current order does not provide for the removal of any occupants/pets from the property. Ms. xxxxxxx can you provide the reason for the two declined showings? Should future showings get declined and/or the property not be maintained and clean for all showings, we will bring this matter before the court for further direction" So, in her role as Real Estate Commissioner assigned by the Court to resolve issues, she did nothing to resolve the issues that she was hired to resolve. In addition, the low ball appraisal that she obtained failed to include recent sales with higher values, and when I asked her associate Joey Hasselbring to make sure that the next appraisal included those, his response was "The appraiser will use the comparable properties they see fit". Beth Jo and her staff did nothing to resolve the issues that they were hired to resolve, and in obtaining their low ball appraisal they helped my Ex Wife accomplish her objectives, so I don't see why she is allowed to retain the title of Real Estate Commissioner.

I will definitely call her when I'm ready to buy or sell again! She even still follows up to check on me and sends me goodies periodically to let me know she is still around, and still cares, if I need her!

The Maricopa office did not know that they had to produce a form for the IRS on the sale of our home.

I never got an apology for the several phone calls, emails and finally sending the directions to them.

I didn't get to choose the title company because I was the seller in the transaction but if I could…read morehave selected the title company it would NOT have been this one! Quick background. I, owned my mother's home, but she held the mortgage. When she originally purchased the home, she held mortgage and title. She decided to quit claim the home to me to avoid a lengthy probate process after her death. She decided to leave the state of Arizona, so we sold the home. While working with Clear Title AZ I was told that my quit claim deed cannot be used to convey ownership of the home... EVEN THOUGH it was created by a lawyer and signed by my mother and witness by a notary public. I was told this less than 24 hours from my scheduled closing date! They needed an "affidavit" (in quotes because they would not tell me the actual name of the form or affidavit needed) completed and signed by mother as well as being notarized. She's in CA and I'm in AZ! The affidavit was received and closing went on, 8 days later! During the closing and the signing of the documents my husband (who is not an owner of the home) had to sign (ready for this?) a quit claim deed!! Yes! The exact type of document they said they do not recognize to convey the transfer of owner to a property (mine) is the same document they used for themselves!! I might add that they justified the "cannot use" by telling me it's because so much fraud exists lately with quit claim deeds! So much fraud that they cannot use my quit claim deed but will use their own quit claim deed??? REALLY, Clear Title AZ? Additionally, when I received this news, I, naturally, escalated through the management hierarchy. I got as high as the vice president of escrow administration, Brandi Kirby, and left her three voicemails, one email, and one instant message via the receptionist. I received no return phone call or email from her!! They delayed my closing by more than a week by not contacting me in plenty of time before the original closing date to correct this problem. This is why they are getting a one star rating.
