Chasen & Chasen

I used Chasen & Chasen for two separate closings and have nothing but good things to say: honest, efficient, clear, pleasant, easy to work with.

I don’t know what these below reviewers are talking about; the service I received at Chasen & Chasen was confidence boosting and reassuring. My husband and I were first time condo buyers and we were prepared for hours of paperwork, but we got filled in on all information quickly and throughly and got out in time to enjoy happy hour at Rosa Mexicana downstairs afterwards. Everyone at the firm are warm and courteous. I recommend them to all my friends to do their closings.

INCOMPETENT AND DISHONEST
My realtor urged that we not use this firm for a residential real estate closing because of their poor reputation. The realtor for the buyers insisted. Boy was my realtor right!
The principal, Ron Chasen, would have cost be over $ 7,500 in DC property taxes because of his poor understanding of the DC law. Fortunately, I went elsewhere for this (ancillary) transaction and saved the money Chasen would have had me waste. Next, the Settlement Statement was not sent to me ahead of time. When I asked Bridget Francher (attorney) about it, she said «Didn’t you get it?» When I pressed the matter (when sent? how?), I learned that it had not been sent and that Ms. Francher had known all along that I didn’t «get it.» Finally, we closed in the morning with plenty of time to send the wire transfer before the cutoff time. Chasen & Chasen delayed sending the wire instructions until after cutoff so the money would be delayed for a day.
There are plenty of honest and competent companies providing these services. Choose one of them.
