I'm a realtor and I deal with a lot of title companies and Lakeside is hardest one I've ever had to…read morework with. Most title companies try to find a way to accomplish their clients' needs. This one does the opposite and some of the management (not all) are down right mean as hell! As real estate agents, we sometimes put money into properties and get reimbursed at the closing table and can add our expenses to the ALTA. I've done this with over a dozen other title agencies. But Lakeside does not allow reimbursements from the ALTA and sends all the proceeds to the seller (or buyer) and asks them to divvy it up post closing. I get it..it's their prerogative on whether they should have to do extra work or not by adding things to the ALTA, but I just feel like they should make it known in advance. I will say that my processor was great. But please stop hiring mean people in management!

I have consulted with Jerry Gimmel three times in my 22 years of business. Each time he has…read moreimpressed me. Through the years, here is some of the advice he has given me, "Walk away from this. It's not a good use of your time, money or talent." and "You need an air tight contract with this one. I will review it carefully and work out the details." and then there was, "Why don't you negotiate this yourself? You are capable of handling this." What I appreciate about him so much is I feel that his advice has always fit the situation. He has tremendous business acumen and he understands the needs of my small business.

It's to be expected. I've read the nasty reviews on this site; they've been written by people who do nothing for the community except complain about it. They have not spent a single minute serving on the condo board or doing anything else to to improve the community. I've made some wonderful friends here, thanks in part to my husband's tireless involvement with the condo board (he served as President for over 12 years). You get what you give, folks. Something to keep in mind when you're living in a community. I love it here. Walking distance to grocery stores, Costco, the library, and the mall, to name a few. Also very dog friendly (a BIG plus).

I sold my house using Rob Spicer's services and could not be more pleased. He has a fee structure that is unlike all other real estate agents in the area and it allowed me to save several thousand dollars in the sale of my house. His website lists his services and fee schedule, which is customized to the needs of a client. I chose "Option I" which essentially had a $495 fee and 1% commission. Most other real estate agents were 3 or 4% commission, so this was a significant reduction in price. Rob was extremely professional, has excellent knowledge of the market, and is well-educated on real estate laws, local ordinances, etc. He allowed me to be in charge and yet was involved as much as I needed. I have bought and sold other homes, and felt fortunate to be able to do business with Rob. I highly recommend reviewing his website and considering him for buying or selling property.
