I would highly recommend using this group for your title needs. The Certified Escrow Officer named Ryan King is EXCELLENT. He assisted us in our sales transaction in a "for sale by owner" deal. Ryan has great energy, communication skills, attitude, patience, etc. I have reached out to Ryan since this transaction with Title and Escrow questions and he is always willing and available help with my inquiries. Top notch! Thank you Ryan! read more

Hardest working team in Title and Escrow! Convenient locations throughout San Diego County.

I cannot say enough good things about Carolyn Church and her team, with Cheralyn and Patty. They are just amazing in every way. First off, they are nice and pleasant people to work with. They are very professional, always responsive, whether by phone or via email, and they are so very patient, answering all my questions, always. As a broker, who is very hands on and I need things to happen on schedule, I rely heavily on Carolyn and her team, and every single time, they go above and beyond what is expected. Paperwork is always well organized and on time, communications are very clear, reports or disclosures are ordered on time, and all of my clients have always been very happy with their level of service. Every single deal has closed on time and even with last minute issues, they always make sure everything is done properly. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Carolyn and her team for not just escrow services, but also title services too! It is so much easier and faster when they handle both! read more

Candy Church and her team are all rock stars. They are so good at their jobs and protecting the title to your home. They know their jobs and they will help you any way they can. It is a true team spirit. They are professional, organized and on top of what you need them to do. I have worked with Candy Church for over 20 years. Their experience and knowledge will knock your socks off. I trust them with my family's loans repeatedly. I have worked hand in hand with Candy Church to clear erroneous liens on properties. There is nobody else I trust with getting the job done and on time. read more

Buyer Beware! I am trying to figure out how this company is still in business? I used them twice when I sold both my houses. They are lazy, unprofessional, and ungrateful for their clients! They held up my escrow for five days, according to my real estate agent. When I inquired, of course, they denied it. But it is my opinion that if they don't handle a certain area that they could at least notify the loan company (buyer/sellers agent) that they do not handle it. News flash: Not everyone knows all aspects of your job! Therefore, it would be helpful if you could enlighten all parties involved instead of holding up escrow. Next, I get tax bills from both my properties that I sold back in January and August in the month of November. I contacted them right away. Carolyn called me back, so I asked her to please notify the city so that I wouldn't get these bills again. She responded by telling me the city was behind and that if I wanted to notify them, I could do it myself. Seriously?!? Is that how you treat a returning customer who paid your horrible company thousands of dollars? Therefore, I do not recommend this company, and they will NEVER get my business ever again! Please save your time and money for a company that actually cares about its customers! read more

surprised this company is still in business. They are incompetent and due to their negligence and lack of communication , my closing date was cancelled at the very last minute . They did not notify my loan company and cost me time and money. Seems like there are quite a few negative reviews online. Perhaps they occasionally get it right but why risk it? we are dealing with large sums of money and the stress is just not worth it. read more

This Title company knowingly sat on almost $2000 in the form of a duplicate tax payment that was refunded to them by the County in early 2021. We inquired many many times. Claimed they couldn't find it. Claimed it was the County's slowness and bureaucracy. Seems my daughter is about to get it back. If it wasn't for the County calling the Title Co. on it, we may have never seen it. AWFUL. DON'T USE THEM! We're going to let the State of CA know about it. Shame on Ticor Title! read more

I recently had them handling a equity loan and they completely botched the payment distribution. It took me almost a month to get back money that should have been disbursed to me immediately and they made a total mess of credit card payoffs sending multiple payments to single cards and even to different financial institutions and then refused to provide an accounting for 3 weeks. Horrible experience dealing with their Newport Beach office via the lender. A lay-person could have done a much better job using common-sense rather than these inept "professionals". read more

I honestly wanted to write a whole page of my experience but it's been 3 months and I can careless now but all I have to say is if you can go elsewhere then do and save yourself time!!! They were hard to work with and took months and weeks after closing to get back to me on anything!!! read more

Wonderful, caring people. I have very high standards for how I'm treated by a business, whether I'm a customer, or just looking...and Ticor Title impressed me like no other Title company I've visited. I will use Ticor Title for any future Title needs. Thanks so much for helping me with my quit-claim deed! - Ryan Moalemi read more

To whom it may concern: Re: Ms. Carolyn Church & Ms. Tonya Courtney I am pleased to write this letter of reference on the behalf of Carolyn Church and Tonya Courtney. Their teams skillfully met and overcome numerous challenges to timely close our recent land sale in Otay Mesa. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further detail in connection with this matter. Sincerely, Larry Edwards, CCIM ledwards@naisandiego.com 619-806-0671 read more

Honestly if I could rate this escrow company with 0 stars, I would in a heartbeat. Michelle was awfully condescending and impatient. She sent us the deposit information on a Friday asking for us to wire the deposit because I was due on Monday. Well she didn't give us any information on where to wire the money to, so I responded and asked how and she didn't reply til Monday saying we were late and it should of been given to her already. I told her basically SHE messed up and she blamed it on us?? Why would WE dely when the housing market is this competitive?? Seriously? So I had to do a same day wire when she actually sent us the information, which was $30 mind you. THEN when it came to the Downpayment, same thing, she sent out her request (this time she sent the wire instructions) on a damn Friday. BANKS AREN'T OPEN WEEKENDS. So we had to rush to the bank because she told us the final due date was Monday morning... Again. Who the halibut asks for a final payment on Fridays KNOWING banks are closed weekends. Just not smart on their part. Horrendously stupid. I could probably over look how dumb they were if Michelle was more understanding of my work schedule and wasn't so condescending about it. I can't have my phone at work. I work in a damn prison. She did not understand why I wasn't answering my phone when she called. Maybe because I can't carry it with me 24/7? And her response..? "well you can find time to answer it, it would only take a few seconds" like lady... No I literally can't. My phone is in my car about a mile away. Anyway! Loann Le was the best one I talked to. Nice and helpful. Thats all. Do not use them. read more

I want to share my appreciation and admiration for Rachel Carrillo at Ticor Title. Rachel was absolutely splendid in responding to a mistake made on a mortgage closing. It involved directions from the bank to wire nearly $10,000 to Tricor Title that was not needed at the closing. A wire transfer "gone wrong" can often take a long time to rectify. Rachel's diligent help and follow-through resulted in the funds returned to my account the next day. The service was great; but more important to me was Rachel's empathy and reassurance that she would see to it that the money was returned -- whatever it took. I am very thankful she was on my team. read more

Perfect service-- incredibly speedy responses. Very impressive staff consistently exceeded our expectations. I was delighted to have them with on our transaction. Would strongly recommend their services! read more

Working with Ticor has been a complete nightmare. The arrogance and carelessness of the group of people we worked with absolutely blew my mind. The buyer of our home chose to use them to handle the sale. The first sign that things weren't going well came after they had to call my husband and myself back in to sign paperwork that they forgot to include in the original title documents. When we showed up to sign we were rudely told that they weren't expecting us (even though they were the ones to call us in) and we would just have to wait until they had time to notarize our documents. The next issue came when they refused to accept our receipt from San Diego County showing we had paid our property taxes and demanded that we provide them with a bank statement verifying that the money had cleared our account. Upon giving them what they asked for, the woman handling the transfer of funds said that she still wasn't sure if that was adequate and if it wasn't we would just have to wait 45 days for her company to process and transfer the proceeds from the sale of our home to the escrow of our new home purchase. What??? Luckily we were able to talk to someone capable of giving a clear answer and making a decision who promptly transfered our money over. Where it stands now, we are still dealing with them to get the full amount from the sale of our home transfered over as they gave us an amount $1500 less than the amount we signed for and are blaming it on unspecified bank costs. We went with First American for the purchase of our new home and have been very happy. read more

If you're looking for a title company to work AGAINST you, not with you, (even though you're paying for their service), and you're looking for a title company that wants to play "GOD" in terms of deciding what San Diego County will and won't accept, then this is the title company for you! Probably the most arrogant, unhelpful, joke of a title company who talks out of both sides of their mouth, and tells you one thing yet does another.

Ask for Nikki Lam... There's alot of title reps that you can choose from. I like Nikki because she's very friendly, always smiling, youngest of the bunch (I know the feeling), and she doesn't push too hard asking for title. Her style is very similar to how I work! read more

As a full time Realtor, I have been using the Title services of Ticor for my primary Title Company recommendation since 2003. I have used them an averageof 7 times a year over the past 10 years. Title is different than Escrow, even though the company does both. Here I am talking about Title. My experiences with them have gone very well. They have never caused a transaction to be late or not close at all. There can be problems on the title of any property. Title Company is in charge of insuring that title against many different types of claims. They have to investigate anything that may cause a problem down the road. Have there been glitches & delays and extra proof required? YES, that is the nature of a title search and title insurance. Have they been handled professionally and courtiously? Yes. So I continue to recommend them? Yes. Especially the North County Coastal rep, Michelle Denys and Candy Church, the Title Officer. read more

I was really disappointed in this experience. In 2020 I should not be filling out paperwork by hand. Sure enough there was a last minute issue because our there was a difference in how our names were listed on our loan and on escrow. We BARELY got it resolved to make our deadline. My understanding is that Ticor pushes through more in a month than most escrow companies and it shows in how they treat their customers. I hope I never have to go through this again. Thank God our realtor and loan officer were on the ball. read more

I have been using Michelle at Ticor Title escrow for over 10 years and she is San Diego's best escrow officer. Always calls back comes in early stays late closes escrows on time. Thanks Jim Carmichael read more

Candy, Carolyn, and their team are true professionals! They go above and beyond for their clients. They work hard to meet difficult deadlines and make service a high priority. I highly recommend this team! read more

Having been in the real estate industry as both a mortgage and real estate broker since 1999, I have seen good escrow officers and, well, not so good. Carolyn Church has been handling my clients' transactions for the past 10 years. When I first go into the business, I went through a number of escrow officers before finding Carolyn. I may not be the easiest client as I do everything possible to make sure my clients have the smoothest escrow possible. My attention to detail and slight OCD does cause extra work for Carolyn but she accepts my rather demanding nature without pause.. What I have found is that Carolyn and her team provide clear and succinct communication, respond promptly to my requests, and do their job correctly the first time. Carolyn's sister Candy Church is a title officer at the same office and also provides excellent service to me and my clients. I consider Carolyn and Candy invaluable assets to my real estate business and can confidently recommend them to other agents and consumers. Robert Boerner Gecko Realty San Diego, CA read more

This is the worst title company I have ever delt with. They expect me to sign a form that they never emailed to me. Then say that's the reason why escrow is on hold. When in reality they already had my signature on the form they made my agent draft up. Watch their adding skills. They were going to charge me 46k extra til I pointed out their error. read more

Ticor is the worst title company I have ever come across in my 30+ years as a real estate broker. Both Carol Burton and Cindy Younger were unprofessional beyond belief. When a cloud was discovered on the title of my mother's property, I emailed the escrow officer who notified those 2. They were completely unconcerned about the liability of the Buyer and Seller and were only concerned with getting the sale. The only solution they could come up with was to call me and yell at me to "retract my email". They did this twice! Extremely unprofessional and short sighted, inexperienced and a general nightmare. read more

Caroline Hornblower at Ticor is a professional who is great to work with. She is a problem solver who is passionate about her clients business and dedicated to her work. Barbara Mullins is also an expert in the field and together they make a great team. read more

Martin Vince and Karen Stephens jointly helped me and my family complete a change in deed for two properties. There 4 parties to the transactions from two different states (and I was in charge and live out of state). They explained what was needed and helped us get the changes done and recorded in a short amount of time. I highly recommend them both. read more

Carolyn Hornblower from Ticor Title has given me excellent service. She and her excellent team are always quick to lend a hand and provide me with accurate, up to date information. As a Realtor, I depend on reliable people like Carolyn and her professional team to help me serve my clients in the best possible way. read more

I have worked with Ticor Title for nearly a decade. I consider Caroline Hornblower and the Candy Church team to be an essential part of my real estate business. They have time after time come through when I needed them most. Going above and beyond is the norm with this group of professionals. From property research and marketing to making things happen by the most demanding deadlines, Caroline and Candy excel at serving their clients. They make the impossible possible. I know this because I have personally experienced it. I know that if it has to be done, it will be done, and that allows me to serve my clients with the greatest of confidence. If you have a choice for title in your transaction, choose Ticor Title San Diego. If you don't have a choice, but have the good fortune of having someone else choose them for you, rest assured that you will be well taken care of. They truly are the best at what they do! read more

Dealing with Ticor during my most recent house closing has been a nightmare. The person handling my file went on vacation and apparently did not appoint anyone to update the file in her absence. Therefore, when it came time to sign the documents, the escrow estimates, etc. were incorrect. It was like pulling teeth to get a new estimate statement, which we didn't even receive until we sat down to sign documents. Our lender required us to sign documents in the morning so they could be overnighted, but Ticor refused to take this deadline seriously. It wasn't until both buyer and sellers agents were on the phone that Ticor decided to "review" our documents and set a early afternoon appointment time. Turns out that the "final" escrow estimate was also wrong, requiring a second wire transfer (and additional missed work as we trudge back to the bank) by us. And throughout all of this, no appology has been given. We hope to stay in our house for a very very long time, but when it comes time to buy again, we will absolutely refuse to use Ticor. read more

I have been a Realtor since 1986 and a broker since 2001. I have used Ticor Escrow for many years now and am shocked by the negative reviews. My experience has been great. My calls are always received or returned promptly and the escrow officers I've worked with have been very experienced, helpful and polite. The title representatives have always been very helpful. I highly recommend Ticor. read more

Avoid this title company! The closing process with them has been the worst I've ever experienced! One error after another resulting in excessive stress, out of pocket cost, and a lot of wasted time. Had to rework documents numerous times and still not sure if it is done right yet.It's been a week long affair so far... read more

I've had two good experiences here. I was helped by Carol Burton at the 619-260-0015 number both times. Maybe it matters who is doing your work. read more

The other reviews on here surprised me. I had zero problems with Ticor Title of San Diego. I was referred to this company by a family friend who highly recommended it. I suspect that some of the issues with this company were customer induced judging by the comments. read more
