Jason C. Schram

My husband and I hired Mr. Schram through a Redfin referral. There were some initial red flags when he refused to answer any of my questions and instead would try to pass everything off onto others. «You should ask the city about that», «You should ask your insurance agent about that,» You should ask your lender about that.” These were literally his responses to the first 3 questions I asked him. I didn’t see what value he was providing but I decided to work with him anyway (which I would later regret).
The property we purchased with Mr. Schram’s «assistance» was a tear-​down for new construction. Soon after our closing, our builder noticed that a portion of our neighbor’s driveway was actually on our property. He showed us where this was clearly visible on the survey. I didn’t notice it because I don’t study surveys for a living, but for a real estate lawyer this should have been an easy catch. Further, the neighbor had an easement for use of this property, which was never disclosed to us prior to purchasing nor was it discovered by Mr. Schram.
Thankfully Mr. Schram acknowledged fault and agreed to refund us his $ 600 fee. However, it took over a month for his office to send the refund check. I’m really not sure if he could have found more ways to botch this closing. I would never recommend him to anyone.

I have worked with Jason on a large number of real estate transactions. I am a real estate agent and I can truly admit that Jason is very qualified, knowledgeable, cares about every and each client and his/​her interest. I higly recommend Jason to all home buyers, home sellers and real estate professiaonals.

I’d like to make a few observations following my very recent experience with Jason Schram:
1. Redfin reviews aren’t truly anonymous (the homes are identified). This potentially can affect the willingness of folks to post negative reviews.
2. Before hiring Jason, ask him if he’ll stay during the entire closing, no matter what. He tends to schedule them close together, which potentially is problematic, since closings are often delayed. One doesn’t want to wind up unrepresented unexpectedly. A lot can go wrong at closing.
3. He relied heavily on his assistant, Genny, to complete major tasks.
4. I question whether Jason has the incentive to spend a large amount of time on any particular matter, since he runs a high-​volume business (he charges about $ 600 for a basic review of the contract and mortgage documents). Those seeking substantial personalized assistance should probably go elsewhere.

I have been through the home buying process twice now, and Jason put my past attorney to shame.
Jason has true expertise when it comes to real estate, and as we were recommended by Redfin, he only surpassed our expectations. Throughout the negotiation process with the Seller, Jason was easy to keep in contact with and provided great feedback about whether I was getting a good deal and what needed to be adjusted in the documentation. At the time of the closing, Jason literally went through each section of the contract to inspect for any mistakes — which he found 2 and had them changed immediately. Having Jason by my side during this process made me feel much more confident and sure of the decisions I was making.
Overall, I highly recommend Jason to future home buyers, and I know he will impress you as well.

My husband and I purchased a home for the first time and Jason was recommended to us by our Redfin agent. He was amazing! We had another attorney prior to him who was unprofessional and out of date. It was night and day when we switched to Jason. I was so impressed with him and his team!
I would have given five stars but after we closed we had an issue with something that was not disclosed by the sellers. The issue occurred on the weekend and Jason said he was going to call my husband that Monday afternoon. We never heard from Jason or his team but it ended up not being a big deal since we decided it was more drama than it was worth at the time.
Highly recommend Jason for any home-buying…especially if you think the negotiations might be difficult or you are unfamiliar of how the process is.
