Celebrity Title

This is the worst title company to ever exist. They are not professional. They speak ill of all of their clientele and discriminate against anyone that is not white. As a former employee, I have heard a few of the higher ups use the «n» word on several occasions to refer to clients. They rate their client’s looks and make fun of them when they aren’t around. Not only that but they personally discriminated against me when they figured out I was not exactly white, and even had a co-​worker call me a «terrorist”/ a sand «n***» because I am half Indian (however I was born and raised here/​was adopted by an American family). They do not respect your boundaries and they will go through your own personal phone and use normal complaints via TEXT against you such as «ugh, it’s Friday and I have to work late.» against you and even write you up for it. If you sprain your elbow, they will write you up for taking too long at the doctor’s office and then force you to carry books that weigh up to 50 pounds/​threaten your job because you won’t do it. Also, they will send you to get drug tested, call the facility to ask if you are actually there and if the nurse doesn’t care to actually look to see if you are, they will accuse you of being a liar and not showing up, even though the drug test has a time stamp on it, and I have a doctor’s note. They will work you to death and shame you for trying to make suggestions for bettering the company. I got written up for creating a website layout for the company on my own time. WHO DOES THAT?! Also, I know that this sounds unbelievable, it is unbelievable to me too… Unfortunately, everything I have stated is true and I have witnessed first hand. Do not work for this company, and do not give them business. You will highly regret it.

The title company injected a form at the closing table that had language which allowed the form to survive the closing table. It cost me thousands in legal and settlements to be done with the issue. Don’t sign anything that says ‘Tax Proration Agreement’ … it masquerades as a liability waiver; however, the language is poorly written so it survives. Life lesson learned. Thanks Celebrity Title… Tell ya what– you cover those legal fees and the costs that were just incurred for your spur of the moment document that contradicts the TREC form… I’ll change my review to a higher level. Otherwise… pick someone different.

Worst Experience ever with any company.
These guys have me in huge trouble with the IRS, and It was all their fault.
When we sold our home, Celebrity title sent the IRS a form 1099 MISC instead of a 1099-​s.
In other words celebrity title told the IRS that they paid us (as income) the selling price of our house.
The IRS is now coming after us for a $ 53,000.00 Tax bill that we do not owe. From my research has happened to many others as well.
Trying to straighten this Out with the IRS is a nightmare, and Now I may have to Hire a tax attorney to straighten things out.
To Their credit celebrity title was friendly and did issue a new 1099-​s to the IRS, but this is now not sufficient, and Fighting the IRS is not easy.
You have a choice in Title Companies! Do not let you builder choose celebrity title for you.

We recently closed on a house where the sellers chose Celebrity Title, and it was a less than stellar experience. Someone from the title company emailed shortly after signing the offer, and we literally never heard from them after that (despite several emails and phone calls). 2 days before closing they still hadn’t coordinated the paperwork with the bank or even set up a time for us to close, which made scheduling very difficult for us. Throughout the process there was little to no communication from them – we had to continuously call and check to ensure their paperwork was being completed on time. Overall it was not a good experience.

Terrible experience. Delayed paperwork, delayed transactions, unprofessional staff. I was the selling party and I was forced to sit face to face with the buyer for 45 minutes while the office prepared documents. ***awkward*** I’ve been to 4 real-​estate closing before hand and I have never even crossed paths with the other party involved in the sale. The wire transfer into my account was more than a day late. Over two months after the sale, I am still working with them to resolve an issue involving the HOA.

«Celebrity Title?» Yeah, that sounds just about right if you’re dealing with Lindsey Lohan and other B-​through-​D-​list celebrities. A couple months ago, I closed a condominium with them. For one, they didn’t even inform the buyer how much money to wire on closing date. They also delayed my closing date because nobody in the office initiated paperwork with the finance company. This also made the HUD statement grossly inaccurate. In the process of this entire mess, they accidentally emailed me someone else’s closing documents, which had private information like social security numbers. Get it together people!
