Baker & Colby, PLLC

Working with them has been a great experience as they have helped us navigate through our selling process. Brandon, Tina, and Samantha have each been wonderful to work with individually and as a team they have responded to our inexperience with knowledgeable and experienced direction. Highly recommend!

If I could give this attorneys office zero stars I would. My husband and I have been trying to purchase a home for over 6 months now. The home we are trying to purchase is a family estate. The attorney's office has been working on paperwork for the estate and handling the closing of our loan. Needless to say they have been extremely unprofessional and they have caused us to push back our closing date multiple times, which my husband and I get penalized for financially. They have not returned phone calls or emails from our mortgage broker, our real estate agent, and they have lied about the progress on our case on many occasions. Working with this attorney's office has been a absolute nightmare and I do not recommend them for anything!!!!! I will be reporting them to the better Business bureau as well.

I retained this law firm to sell a home in Wilmington, while I lived in Raleigh. There were several difficulties that were not their fault, specifically hurricane Florence which swept through, and some documents which were apparently "delivered late" from the buyer. However, due to other issues with the staff there, and unnecessary delays detailed below, I would NOT recommend this law firm to a friend, and I highly recommend you find another law firm. They were consistently late getting documents to us, particularly documents that needed to be signed and notarized. For example, we did not get the final seller's disclosure until Wednesday night (closing on Friday!). They also literally sent a final document to be signed AND notarized on Thursday evening. I ended up **having to drive 2 hours down to Wilmington to hand deliver the documents**. In addition, as co-trustees of the trust which contained the home, two other co-trustees in their 80's made an appointment to sign their documents. They lived in Wilmington, so figured it would be quick. Instead, even with an appointment, they ended up waiting over 30 minutes just to see someone to sign the documents. I only went with Colby and Mincey because they were recommended by a realtor. I would highly recommend you find someone else for your home buying/selling needs.

Absolutely terrible to work with. They didn't get our title paperwork to our lender until 4:30 pm the day before closing so we had to push our date back. They never answered communication with our lender and no one knew they were behind until the day of. Then after closing, I was told it would be recorded by 4pm that day and it wasn't recorded until after 4pm the following day. I received a notification from my lender that the attorney didn't even sign the paperwork before sending over and missed half the documents they were supposed to file. I have now had to pay to reschedule my moving company twice with less than 24 hours notice due to their lack of proficiency. Not to mention it was a very rushed process and the attorney didn't take the time to even introduce herself to us before throwing papers at us to sign.

I just had the fastest and most pleasant closing of my three real estate purchases! Erin was so easy to get on the phone and answered every question I had. The staff was so well-organized, professional and I kept wondering when something bad would come up. It never did! I was so pleasantly surprised, as I find real estate transactions stressful. The deed was even recorded BEFORE I got back to my new home 90 minute later!!!!
