The Closing Agent | Title & Closing Services

score 91/100
4.8 from 329 reviews
High-volume closingszero surprisesresponsive communicationprofessional staff

Why it ranks first

With 329 reviews and a 4.8 rating, The Closing Agent has the deepest track record on this list for getting residential and commercial closings across the line on time. Realtors with 15+ year relationships keep coming back, and the firm's in-house counsel handles complex closings, foreclosure defense, and short sales without kicking clients to an outside attorney.

Pros

  • Named staff (Andrea Mendez, Colette Chase, Porsha Daly, and others) known for fast, plain-language follow-up
  • In-house counsel for complex or contested closings
  • Handles foreclosure defense and short sales alongside standard closings
  • Offers remote online notarization for video closings

Watch out: Verification sub-score is on the lower side relative to its other metrics, so confirm current credentials directly.

Services: foreclosure defense, free consultation, real estate litigation, bankruptcy law

Pros

  • Rapid issue resolution without needing repeated client chase-ups
  • Strong land trust and estate planning integration with real estate work
  • Proactive email communication throughout transactions
  • Multiple decades-long referral relationships

Pros

  • Explains complex real estate options in plain language
  • Communicates by phone and text, not just email
  • Described as honest and transparent about likely outcomes
  • Willing to fight through difficult, drawn-out cases

Why it ranks fifth

All nine reviews for Matthew Cersine are five stars, with clients describing him as knowledgeable and aggressive in defending their interests. The sample is small, but there are no complaints in the record at all.

Pros

  • Perfect five-star record across all reviews on file

Latham, Luna, Eden & Beaudine, LLP

score 69/100
5 from 4 reviews
Established commercial law backingresponsive communicationprofessional staff

Why it ranks sixth

Latham, Luna, Eden & Beaudine has operated since 1996, giving it institutional weight even though its Google review count here is thin. The handful of recent reviews point to quick responses and helpful support from a multi-practice commercial firm.

Pros

  • Operating since 1996, longer-tenured than most on this list
  • Recent reviewers cite quick response times

Watch out: Only four reviews are behind the score, so there's limited detail on typical client experience.

Why it ranks seventh

Manzo & Associates draws a mixed but sizeable review base (48 reviews, 4.3 rating), with strong praise for staff like Nancy and J.D. moving closings quickly and saving clients money. The catch is consistency: some clients describe missed callbacks and closing delays that others never experience.

Pros

  • Fast, efficient closings reported by many clients
  • Named staff praised for responsiveness and knowledge
  • Some clients report significant savings on deals
  • Experienced with complex real estate transactions

Watch out: Other reviewers report weeks of unreturned calls, unexplained closing delays, and errors in tax proration figures.

Contract and title expertiseresponsive communicationknowledgeableprofessional staff

Why it ranks eighth

Storey Law Group gets solid marks (4.4 from 17 reviews) for responsiveness and real estate closing work, with named attorneys Ed Storey and Christian Gendreau called out for handling contracts and builder negotiations well. Two recent one-star reviews around billing and follow-up temper the overall picture.

Pros

  • Multiple named attorneys and staff praised for responsiveness
  • Smooth, quick real estate closings for most clients
  • Experience in contracts, title work, and builder negotiations
  • Attention to detail cited in several reviews

Watch out: Two recent one-star reviews cite a lack of proactive case updates and a billing dispute over charges exceeding a court-filed affidavit.

Short sale negotiationsknowledgeableprofessional staffresponsive communication

Why it ranks ninth

Roland Acosta's firm built its reputation on short sale work, with a cited 100% closing record on those deals and a long history of broker referrals. Most clients call the team professional and quick, though a couple of recent reviews flag unreturned calls.

Pros

  • Strong, specific short sale track record
  • Long-standing referral relationships with real estate brokers
  • Clients describe the team as reassuring during stressful sales
  • Quick resolution on most matters

Watch out: A couple of recent reviewers cite unreturned calls and an intake process that felt unresponsive.

Why it ranks tenth

Jackson Law pairs Charles Jackson's estate planning work with Kristen Jackson's commercial real estate deals, earning praise for a calm, educational approach with clients. The review base is small, and one recent reviewer raised ongoing concerns that weren't resolved.

Pros

  • Kristen Jackson specifically praised for commercial real estate deals
  • Calm, educational communication style

Watch out: One recent reviewer said they could not recommend the firm, citing unresolved concerns.

Services: foreclosure defense, free consultation, real estate litigation

Foley & Lardner LLP

Foley & Lardner LLP

score 61/100

Big-firm resources on higher-stakes disputesknowledgeableresponsive communicationclear explanations

Why it ranks #11

Foley & Lardner brings big-firm weight to real estate litigation, with reviewers naming Jason and Jarrod for clear, honest case assessments and strong results. Reviews here are limited in number, and one older review flags slow turnaround and high fees.

Pros

  • Named attorneys praised for honest, upfront case assessment
  • Clear, thorough case update communication

Watch out: Review data is thin and skews older, and at least one client flagged slow progress and high costs.

Services: free consultation, real estate litigation, foreclosure defense, bankruptcy law

Peter R. McGrath, P.A.

3.8 from 28 reviews
HOA covenant disputesknowledgeableaggressive advocacysuccessful outcome

Why it ranks #12

Peter McGrath has a genuine track record winning HOA litigation, with deep knowledge of Florida property and covenant law and attorney fees awarded in wins. That strength doesn't carry over to every case type: eviction and tenant matters draw serious complaints about high upfront costs and thin follow-through.

Pros

  • Consistent wins in HOA litigation with fees awarded
  • Deep knowledge of Florida HOA and covenant law
  • Aggressive, well-prepared courtroom advocacy
  • Staff (Erin specifically named) praised for professionalism

Watch out: Eviction and tenant-side clients report large upfront retainers ($4000+) with minimal representation and difficulty ending the relationship.

Apellie Legal

Apellie Legal

score 57/100

Budget-consciousflexible payment plansknowledgeableresponsive communication

Why it ranks #13

Adam Sudbury's firm stands out for taking on difficult real estate and family law cases other firms decline, and for offering payment plans that aren't common in this field. Recent reviews are consistently positive on honesty and care, though the record includes some older complaints about pace and paperwork.

Pros

  • Transparent billing with flexible payment plans
  • Willing to take on difficult cases other firms turn down
  • Multi-attorney team approach
  • Recent reviews emphasize honesty and responsiveness

Watch out: Older reviews cite slow case progress, communication gaps, and some billing or paperwork errors.

Why it ranks #14

Cynthia Lewis and paralegal Beth Edwards earn consistent five-star praise, mostly from bankruptcy-adjacent property matters, for turning complicated, stressful cases into something manageable. The rating (4.8 from 22 reviews) is strong, though the underlying review data here skews older.

Pros

  • Handles complex, high-stress cases with reported confidence
  • Beth Edwards singled out for responsiveness as paralegal
  • Strong reputation within the local legal community
  • Genuine empathy noted by multiple reviewers

Watch out: Review recency and verification data are limited, so recent client experience is harder to confirm.

Why it ranks #15

Dean Mead's attorneys get credit from most reviewers for clear communication and positive courtroom outcomes across real estate and bankruptcy matters. Two older complaints point to slow work at a $375 hourly rate, worth weighing against the firm's trial experience.

Pros

  • Experienced trial attorneys handling real estate disputes
  • Responsive by both email and phone per most reviewers

Watch out: Two reviewers cite slow case progress relative to the $375 hourly rate.
