Lakeside has assisted with a few of my closings in the past. This go round, we had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Jones. This may have been the best closing we've ever had. We had a tight timeline of a 14 day close. She was so thorough, responsive to myself, agents, and lender. She also took the time to additionally explain items during closing. Maybe the best experience we had was the prepared school packets for our children. This was an awesome, helpful touch, so we don't have to go digging for paperwork the school requests. I'd recommend Jennifer for any of our future real estate transactions for sure.

Lakeside Title Company made this process, which could have been so nerve-wracking, go so smoothly for me. Whenever I had a question, Aimee Smith and her team (Jenny Schrader, Heather Weedon) were so responsive, and all the instructions they provided to me were so clear and easy to follow. Additionally, it was great having the option to use the AI assistant, Rover, too. For example, it was so helpful getting the draft settlement sheet via text so I had an idea of the various cost and fee breakdowns at my fingertips (literally). Jenny was so lovely when I called to verify the wiring instructions, and it was an absolute joy working with Aimee at the closing. I will keep Lakeside’s contact info and I will definitely recommend them whenever someone needs the services of a title company. Thank you, Lakeside Title!!!!

Lakeside title is the best title company out there and Greg Reynolds is THE BEST settlement attorney. All title companies can do the easy settlements but Greg & Lakeside can do the difficult ones and make it look easy which is what you need sometimes. Greg and his wonderful team will solve any stumbling blocks thrown at them and often times just solving them quietly behind the scenes without even bothering us agents. This is a treat because I have been to title companies that won't jump their own hurdles and ask me to lace up and run and do their job for them which I end up doing just to get my client to settlement but makes me appreciate Greg and Lakeside even more. Greg you and your team are a masterpiece and every chance I get to work with you is an ineffable experience and I don't throw out the word ineffable lightly. Keep up all the great work!!!!!!!! I almost forgot to top it all off Greg is fluent in Spanish! As Ted Lasso says I believe in Believe and I 100% believe in Greg Reynolds and Lakeside Title!!!!!
- Holly Mueck

Vickee and the Lakeside grew were absolutely amazing! Made us feel like family and the process was stress-free! Will be using them again 🙂
