Stewart Title of California, Inc. CenCal Visalia

This office gets one star due to their friendliness. They were very kind and had smiles on their face, good customer service. HOWEVER... When you are going to handle several thousands of dollars of someone else's money, sadly, you need more than friendly service alone. We recently used Stewart Title to close on our home in Fresno and I'm overall not happy with the service. First off, we were never told that the office we would be closing in was in Visalia (1 hour away from Fresno)... But they have an office in Fresno and didn't think we'd prefer the convenience of only needing to drive 15 minutes instead of 1 hour? Zero proactivity or information was given to present us with our options. So the day before closing, we were informed we needed to drive to Visalia or delay the closing by sev

Working with Martha has been amazing! We use her for all of our transactions due to her outstanding communication, very knowledgable in the escrow process, always quick to respond, and help with anything we need. Highly recommend Stewart Title and Martha Ledezma-Avila & her team!

Martha and her Staff are always quick, knowledgeable and informative in any and all escrows! She is my first and only choice to handle my escrows! If you want someone that keeps you quickly informed of everything going on in your Escrow and never dodging a potential problem - than you need to switch to Martha and her Staff! You will be amazed !

Working with Stewart Title was very easy. Personnel were professional, responsive, easy to reach, consistent with infomation - all of which made the closing on our home very easy even though we live on the opposite side of the United States! Thank you Stewart Title.

Two parcels were sold; they transferred one. It is 9 months since they were first told of the error, and still not corrected. They do not follow up. They do not respond quickly - except with out-of-office notices. I am glad I was the seller and not the buyer. They are refusing to pay for notary costs - I had to find the notary and set it up, they did nothing - until I send the signed copy of the "correctory deed". I would like the refund for notary costs first, as I don't trust their "business" approach to reimburse me once they get what they want, given their track record and slipshod approach to this entire transaction. I find it hard to believe any real estate professional would recommend using them.
