Barristers Of Ohio

Barristers of Ohio is the worst Title Company I have ever worked for in the last 20 years. The employees are now currently getting outsourced by an India Company who came to Pittsburg PA and rented office space and convinced the idiots at Howard Hanna to Hire them for Mortgage and Title Services.

The American employee were forced to train the India Company and then American jobs were lost giving them to this OUTSOURCING COMPANY CALLED VISIONET.

Buyer/Seller bank information, credit reports, ss numbers, DL no, of Ohio, PA, VA, MI, NY, SC. are being sent to this Outsourcing Company in India without their knowledge or consent. In return the India employee getting paid by an American Company and American jobs are being eliminated.

Howard Hanna is currently eliminating more jobs and employees during this Coronavirus epidemic. They have not sanitized the office spaces to the CDC guidelines, as several employees have tested positive and were hospitalized.

No employees were notified until exposed and then no policy was put in place to quarantine and protect the employees.

Employees were not set up at home with computers, unless it was at the expense of the employee themselves.

THIS IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS BUT ONLY A CORPORATE GREEDY COMPANY WHO ONLY CARES ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY TO BUY OR SELL YOUR HOME- AGENTS HAVE TESTED POSITIVE AS WELL. BE CAREFULL

Barristers….

Wow, how a title company like this is allowed to work with the public is beyond me. This is our second home so we know how the process works and been through title companies before.

All I can say is I feel so bad for this company how disconnected they are with their clients and for the people like my wife and I that have to deal with this business. Why don’t we start from the beginning. My wife and bought a home and sold a home. We also had a little girl during that time.

When we found out that our house sold in January we were so excited that this house will be finalized way before the baby comes in March. We would be sadly mistake because Barristers would be the title company in charge of finalizing it. It is almost mid-April and is still not finalized. Having a new born can be expensive and now add two homes on top of that.

After our realtor making multiple phone calls just to get some information of why it was taking so long no one could give us or would give us answers. They started ignoring her phone calls (check the phone record Barristers, Kim and Nikki has become very good at it). So, when this started happening I started making phone calls just to figure what is going on. So, I called and got a hold of Kim and Kim said that she would call be back that evening….

Two days passed no phone call. I called the county because again Barristers did not know anything. Pam from the county told me that Barristers has had the information for weeks and they know what is wrong and they have lawyers and professionals there that know what they are doing. So, I called back to Barristers.

Kim said yes, we are figuring this out and Stacie will be giving everyone a call by the end of the day. A week goes by no phone calls and I am still waiting on my phone call. If it was not for my realtor we would never hear from Barrister and they would still be ignoring and lying about calling us back. My realtor has gotten a hold of another title company to educate this title company on what to do.

Also, this title company who we are not even going through has kept us updated. I have yet to receive a phone call from Barristers. Please management look into this you will see that these people have not been communicating and have been ignoring phone calls. The other title company felt bad for hard working people like my wife and I that this could have been fixed months ago if they were better at communicating.

It is so sad that I have to figure out why my title company is so behind from calling the county and calling another title company. Management all I ask is you to look into these three people Kim, Stacie, and Nikki and ask them why they are ignoring phone calls, lying about calling back, and procrastinating on something that is draining my wife’s and I bank account.

No wonder why all previous reviews are so negative about them! If you are reading this don't consider Barriester's of Ohio for any service!

all they'll give you is *** had appointment with one of the Agent Shadi Taha! what a jerk! went to see the site with him he made me to drive complete opposite direction of the actual site, where I could just stop in between to around actual site! Demanded for check to deposit without disclosing actual papers of property and showed me incomplete papers!

Despite mentioning few times for disclosing papers all I heard was "he is working on it, will send you as soon as he finished with process" took more than 3 weeks just to show me Real papers of property!

just WOW and even detail was incomplete I had to ask again what my lawyer demanded and even he described "this guy can not be serious" he suppose to know how to deal with customer in timely manner! At last with all frustration of title issue had to ask to return check and said I'm not interested making any deal with this guy or with Barristors of Ohio Ever!

Howard Hannah had them do our closing, it took 2 weeks, tons of calls and finally got the code from the seller to the lock box to get our key out to the house we bought. Two weeks to get a key is ridiculous.

Then they had our escrow, we passed the inspection the escrow was being held for and it was almost 4 weeks before the check arrived and it was a partial check. Wanted to know who to send these papers to to get the rest of our escrow which shows we passed inspection and all the calls go to voice mails. There are many different phone numbers for this place and unless you know who your settlement coordinator is you just go in circles. And even at that, the settlement coordinator doesn't call back!

Now I just found out they didn't pay the water bill that the previous owner owed! It was under $30 but they dropped the ball on that one.

I will never again buy a house that insist on us using Barristers again. I would rather walk away from a house than to go through this again.
