These folks were fantastic until they weren't. They overlooked at close a Homestead Property Tax refund that resulted in thousands of dollars lost. Vermont statutes state these refunds go to the sellers. A simple escrow fund would have taken care of this. It took months to get answers and several flippant remarks along the way. There advice given was simply to sue the new buyers or complete a withdrawal which would have doubled the $ lost. They didn't even provide a link on how to sue if I had chosen that path. (not) They took absolutely zero responsibility for their oversight and didn't so much as offer and apology for their obvious mistake. Sadly , I would give them negative 5 stars based on my experience.
My husband and I closed on our first home and Nick made the closing process a breeze. With how much jargon is in the stack of closing documents, it was very helpful to have someone explain each one. He also made it very clear that if anything comes up, not to hesitate to reach out and ask questions going forward. We recommend Nick for your homebuying legal needs!
Our experience with this firm was terrible. They were very unprofessional and remarkably poor communicators. We were clients of theirs until one day they decided to dump us due to circumstances they could not articulate nor keep straight, offering stuttering excuses that contradicted one another. Steer clear of this firm, they are only after the big bucks and the notoriety of richer clients.
I have had a number of amazing experiences using Bauer, Farnham & gravel for everything from automobile incident recovery assistance to home closings. A+ team here and in my opinion the go to legal team in Vermont. HIGHLY recommended
I have attended many real estate closings here. Jon and Dan do a great job of explaining a complex process and making their clients comfortable with the transaction.
