Services
Buying or selling a home (or other piece of real property) usually involves the transfer of large sums of money. It is imperative that the transfer of these funds and related documents from one party to another be handled in a neutral, secure and knowledgeable manner. For the protection of buyer, seller and lender, the escrow process was developed.
That depends on the claim. In an extreme case, you could lose your entire home and property- and still be liable to pay off the balance of your mortgage. Most claims aren't that dramatic, but even the smallest claim can cost you time, money and aggravation, and you may have to pay costs for a legal defense.

I am an insurance agent. I spoke to Cassandra on 12/23/2020 requesting a transfer of title for the sale of a home. The seller is a mutual client. She told me that she would send me an email with document. To date (12/26/2020) she still has not sent me the document. No contact from her at all as to why she did not send the document. I called her this morning to follow up. She told me today I am on a long list and she would get to me when my name "came up on the list". I then called her supervisor Beth as this mutual client needs her money. Beth was just as rude. Finally Beth acquiesced

A rather simple transaction was made extremely difficult and expensive because of their ignorant staff. After several hours and the expenditure of several thousand dollars they said "Yes we can do it" after saying they could not. I was fortunate to have an outstanding support team of real estate and legal professionals that overcame their incompetence. We yet, they never acknowledge they were wrong, never apologized. I fully concur with the review by Darren P, amazingly inept and horribly rude.

Horrible, horrible people/company to deal with, just amazingly inept at what they do!
- They make mistakes, cover up their mistakes and responsible employee for mistakes is never "in" to take a phone call.
- Cannot tally a balance sheet and when asked to explain charges and amounts that don't make sense, they get rude and disrespectful. They act like they are the only title company in town.
- They forgot to get paperwork signed, thereby holding up our closing and costing us more money in interest but still gladly take out their portion of the profit while their mistakes take

Over 10 years of great service by all members of the company who support the agents and clients from the respective departments, including the President Jeff Kerns, who gets out there, drives to the locations and personally assists with any solutions to any problems that arise under transactions that come up. Great title plant, officers and great staff. Wow, can't say enough. We get it done!

Yosemite Title Company has been a wonderful title/escrow company to work with when closing an escrow for a new purchase or a re-fi purchase. Their staff and owners are professional, courteous and responsive to emails. As a Realtor, I have been pleased to do business with them over the past 19 years. Tina Gordon

Non-responsive: won't return calls, perpetually unavailable when paid an office visit.
Incompetent: Yosemite Title cannot seem to get a special recoveyance done correctly. This has bounced back between Yosemite Title and a mortgage company, since February 2018. It's July 30, 2018. The mortgage company has explained repeatedly what is needed, even going so far as to send over exactly what they need in writing. Yosemite Title could not even manage to transcribe what was requested correctly. The mortgage company sent it back last week, again, to Yosemite Title, because of formatting

What a very positive and wonderful experience! Tammy is on top of her game, and processed our paperwork in a very efficient and timely manner, producing results well ahead of time, as well as keeping in constant contact each step of the way! Yosemite Title is local, takes very good care of its clients, and was a joy to work with! I would not hesitate to use them again!

Simply put - terrible. Did not make sure all bills were paid - tried to make me pay for their mistake in not paying association dues. Tammy is more busy trying to not do job and skirt what is in contract than do her job. Would never use again or recommend to anyone. This was a simple cash transaction and they could not even get it right. Tied in with local Century 21 office and as such would never use either again. I buy properties often and this office is a joke to their industry. Stay clear!
