Patricia Wright & Associates

I thought a lot about this review before I wrote it, because I wanted to find a reason to give at least two stars but I only had 4 hours and I came up with nothing during that time.
They did do some things right:
— They greet everyone who enters the office.
— They have fairly comfy chairs
— They give away pens
— They were on time for meetings.
What they did wrong:
— They are astonishingly disorganized. A busy office where no one knows what anyone else is doing.
— They were able to pass on the utter confusion to my client, like a contagious disease everyone began to become lost in the paper.
— To top it off, no apology, as if incompetence was the norm.
— Their fees are higher than most. What My clients were initially quoted and what ended up being the cost was different.
So I would absolutely recommend them if you are a risk taker who likes to spend extra money, and loves the excitement of not having a clue about what is going on. If you are not that person, then look elsewhere.

Perhaps Patricia Wright is helpful if she is making money out of you buying or selling a house but being on the other end where she is holding my money in trust, which she now has to pay back to me, she is a nightmare. She owes me money for a hold back on a sale of my condo, for which she represented her client in buying. The remained of money from the holdback was supposed to be paid out within 2 weeks of the AGM, that was, at the time of writing this, over 2 months ago now. She has not had the respect to follow up the repeated requests from my notary. When I had misguidedly called her to inquire myself since it was overdue and I had no response from her, she was incredibly rude to me. I had a wonderful experience with my notary who was very responsive and would not recommend anyhow to use Patricia.

Here’s my story. Pat just today helped me close on my first home. Yesterday, after dealing with all of the paperwork, she had me come in and walked me through all of it. I felt really comfortable as she took me through the documents (there was a LOT of paperwork), while I sipped on a coffee and relaxed. Then I left, and decided to check the numbers. I, in my infinite wisdom, decided that I was overcharged and marched back into the office to walk through it again. No problem said Pat, who handled my intrusion like a pro, sitting down on the spot, listening to my concerns, investigating them in front of me and showing me how the calculations worked. This is a competent individual — she was right all along, and worth the price.
This is a complicated process. Get competent people.

Pat and her staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Purchasing real estate is daunting especially if it’s your first time. Pat walked me through everything I needed to know — and was always available by phone and email if I had questions or concerns. When I encountered a small hiccup, she rectified the situation right away and make sure that I was happy. Everything was broken down in clear language — with no hidden fees — itemized so you can see where and what everything cost.
I will definitely use her notary services again in the future.
