No communication. I was informed they do not talk to the buyer only the seller. Yet I am paying all the fees.

Oceanside, CA, on Mar 17, 2023

Thanks for your support in our new home purchase process. There were a few delays and miscommunications coordinating between First American, the seller, and the loan company that could have been avoided if American Title had coordinated with us earlier in the process but overall it went rather smoothly. Thank you and we’d happily recommend First American Title.

Irvine, CA, on Mar 11, 2023

The escrow officer I was working with, [name removed]'[name removed], never returned an email I sent. Anytime I tried to correspond with her, she would just defer me to her team. All of my limited interactions with [name removed] were not friendly and at times, just rude. Of my entire home buying experience, I would say First American left the worst taste in my mouth. Communication was poor and I had to follow up and reach out to try and get updates related to my close. I expected more from First American and have worked with other escrow companies and have never received this poor level of service.

Perris, CA, on Feb 23, 2023

Did not appreciate the attitude an un-professonalism from [name removed]. Wouldn't follow up, respond back to my questions, overall it was a headache dealing with her directly. Notary was fine and respectful and informative.
