I am writing to share my positive experience with Arizona Escrow & Financial regarding the recent sale of our Cold Stone Creamery in Mesa, Arizona. Although we were the sellers and did not hire your company ourselves, we were incredibly impressed with the level of service provided. The team was very professional and attentive to our needs throughout the entire process, ensuring the sale was completed without any issues. In particular, Darci was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you for the amazing job and for providing such an awesome experience.

We used Az Title for the funding of a home remodel. Olivia was the Escrow Administrator. Customer service is not her strong suit. A $10k check was sent to the wrong place (luckily the guy who received it returned it). This made me nervous so I said I’d like to work w Olivia on the next check to make sure it didn’t happen again. Her reply “…I do not need you to hold my hand on any future disbursements.” It seemed like it to me. The amounts are large. Next, we needed a $9k deposit for roofing. She couldn’t discern what amount to pay (she focused on the total price, not the deposit.). She was “snarky” so I called the owner, who stood behind Olivia. I told her I’d like our money back. She said we’d still be charged the $1200 and suggested we try a different escrow officer. The hassle factor (and cost) was high so we gave “Bobby” a try. He was great. Not an issue with any future disbursements. And he was friendly. The real problem is that the owner was okay w the service we received. There are lots of options, so I’d steer clear of Az Escrow.

I recently closed a deal with numerous payoffs, and Darci Finsterwalder, did a great job working through everything all while being nice and easy to work with.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicole Steele was fantastic to work with. She communicated clearly, responded quickly, and handled the escrow process smoothly from start to finish. Her professionalism and attention to detail made closing easy and stress-free. Highly recommend her and Arizona Escrow and Financial Corporation.
Nicole was amazing to work with and helped us do a quick closing. We will definetly be working with this company again.

Darci was our escrow agent and was incredible! Our transaction was stalled for a while and then fast tracked on very short notice. Darci stayed one step ahead of us the entire time, was extremely professional and knowledgeable and a true pleasure to work with. She was on top of every aspect of the transaction at all times. If I ever had the need for an escrow agent again in Arizona, I am making one call to Arizona escrow. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Been a broker developer for 40 years this is the slowest payout I ever had. Escrow closed two days ago still no funds. Now it's b been 72hrs and still no funds
Response from the owner

Hi Al, thank you for your feedback—we’re truly sorry for the frustration. After reviewing your file, we want to clarify that this was not a broker commission payout, but rather a payoff to an underlying creditor as instructed, and the check was mailed on the day of closing per your request. We pride ourselves on timely closings and, due to occasional USPS delays, we're always happy to use an expedited carrier if requested. Please feel free to contact us at info@arizonaescrow.com or call (602) 956-2629 if we can be of further assistance. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again.
