LSI Title Company

Just got my escrow fees estimate. WOW these guys are expensive. I wonder why the seller pick them.

The worst title company in the world. They make your life completely miserable. They will never respond by telephone or email. I am extremely shocked that foreclosing banks continue to use them. If, you see LSI Title on the contract, my advise is to run, run and run as fast as you can

I am shocked by the bad reviews — this is completely opposite of my experience!
LSI provided services for our mortgage nearly 5 years ago. To make a long story short just about everyone else had gone out of business and documents that were urgently needed couldn’t be found.
I called LSI and got a gentlemen named Ming. He worked so hard and diligently to locate what we needed in spite of the fact they had been long archived. I’ll be asking for LSI anytime I have a say in the transation!

This company was selected by Chase bank, and it did appraisal for new home which I was buying. My Close of Escrow was 30^th July 2013. They didnt do appraisal of the property till today. My Bank doesnt have a clue what is happening. These guys dont even respond back per bank. I am moving out of my apartment and going to hotel to stay moved my stuff to storage and now with no home waiting for these guys to send appraisal of the home. These guys are waste of time and don’t understand «time». If you ever want to have a home never goto them. If you ever want to have a pleasant home buying experience don’t talk to these guys. I didn’t want to raise alarm over earlier delays but these guys have made me a homeless right now. The amount of frustration I am going through because of these bunch o crap people at LSI is enormous. No amount of their convincing can give me a relief.
Honesty and timely delivery should be your moto, but delays and giving headache and heartaches to people is your actual business.
Stay away from this company. I would love to give them –1000 *‘s but its not available in Unilocal

Just awful. If you want to make your escrow period more painful, send your business to LSI Title.
During the escrow on our house purchase, LSI made so many mistakes that it started to be comical, in that terrible kind of way.
— First and foremost, they placed the house in the wrong city. This matters, as it turns out. One city requires a title transfer fee, and another doesn’t. Had we not figured out — on our own — that the house was in a different city than LSI thought it was (it was near the border) then the county would not have transferred title to us.
— When we discovered that the house was in a different city than all their paperwork stated, they objected to re-​doing the paperwork. We insisted. This is important.
— LSI repeatedly screwed up the spelling of my wife’s name. One of the documents required us to swear under oath that our identities were as stated on that document. My wife’s name was not spelled correctly. We objected. They insisted that it was fine. We refused to sign an oath of our identity that wasn’t actually our correct identity at length until they relented.
— LSI Title took their instructions from the selling agent, rather than the sales agreement, until we insisted (again at length) that the sales agreement spelled out the actual terms that the selling agent had agreed to, not the selling agent’s verbal instructions.
This is only a partial list. I would never, ever, ever use LSI Title again, for any reason or any amount of money. It’s just not worth the stress of having completely incompetent and indifferent people handling such an important transaction.

Worst title company ever. I’ve been a property investor for over 20 years. It’s customary for properties to be in revocable trusts for estate planning purposes. Every title company I’ve every used moves (quitclaims) the property out of trust, applies the loan and then after closing moves the title back into the trust. This company actually titled the property from the trust to the trust and changed the title verbiage to accommodate signatures blah, blah, what a mess. So the title has aka’s on it and I have to clean up their mess. To top that off, the manager I called wold not take responsibility and blamed the lender. Demand a different title company if your lender is using them.

LSI is an incompetent title company, they lost legal documents and won’t take responsibility for it. They also are unresponsive and could benefit from improving their customer service skills.

So far it has taken 2 months to get a refund for our deposit when we were looking at buying a house. We backed out during the contingency period, so we are due our full refund.
We were told that it would take several weeks to get our refund back sometimes.
We then found out that they sent the check to the sellers real estate agent even though they were directed to return it to us directly. They said that they never got an address from us, which while true does not explain why they didn’t ask for it.
They allegedly stopped payment on that one and sent us a new check, which still has not shown up a week later. Utterly and completely ridiculous, especially in light of the requirement that we have to send them the check within a very constrained time period in order to fulfill our contract. We ended up having to overnight the check due to the time constraints. Completely and utterly dissatisfied.

I noted the company had complaints with the Better Business Bureau online, but the seller of the property I purchased was providing escrow services with them. Just bought a property with them. They were fairly proactive, easy to reach, and friendly. I had an issue, and the supervisor quickly addressed it, to get my property escrow/​title back on track. Pretty good.

If you want a bad title company that will unfairly charge you $ 500 in double-​interest by failing to pay off a lender for 4 days after receiving funding from a new lender, then lie about why it failed to act in time, and then never respond to 2 written inquires, LSI Title is your company. If you want competent, honest service, hope you have better luck than I did when I had the misfortune to have to deal with them.
