South Oak Title - Panama City Beach, Florida

Jamie is an absolute rockstar of a Title Agent! Her professionalism, attention to detail/time, and warmth shined throughout the entire process. Her eagerness to get our home closed as quickly as possible at the best deal for us was very apparent, and much appreciated as it helped us out tremendously. She was very communicative and patient, making everything super easy as a first time home buyer, to include expediting our final closing process so that we could quickly sign and get keys on the big day. It was truly a pleasure working with her and getting to know her, I won't go anywhere else for my Title needs from here on out. She was recommended by her husband, AJ from Rate, who was also great to work with.

South Oak Title on the Beach side is hands down the best on the beach! Allie Ross is a top not escrow officer! This young lady is wise beyond her years. Her service is hands down a 10 ⭐️ star. Every closing with her is smooth as 🧈 Butter. Professional and amazing attention to detail! Thank you South Oak for hiring such an amazing and smart person! I will always recommend South Oak hands down!

We closed on our house just recently. The experience was wonderful. Our closer Kristy Hazlett was so helpful and was responsive to any questions from day one. If we sent an email she got right back to us. When we went the day of closing she explained everything throughly and made sure we knew exactly what we were signing. My husband had a few questions through the process and she answered all questions and never got frustrated or impatient. She made the experience less stressful. She was very friendly and professional. I will recommend South Oak to everyone I know who is looking to buy a home.

DO NOT EVER use the Fort Walton beach office for closing!!!

We closed on 5 October with them and came to closing with all money needed, including for taxes and insurance.

2 months later, we get a notice in the mail that we are short in escrow and our mortgage payment will be increasing to make up the shortage. Come to find out, South Oak never sent our tax money in for our taxes and insurance, causing our mortgage company to have to front the bill.

The clerk we dealt with quit. We try to contact them multiple times to ask what happened, no answer. We go up there, no one is in the office. We dealt with this for over a week and ultimately had to go through the PANAMA CITY beach office to get some answers. It was discovered that South Oak sent our check and money for taxes to the seller because they saw our taxes were paid BY OUR MORTGAGE COMPANY which shorted us in escrow due to the fact we had no money there.

This is has been the worst 1st time home buying experience in my life.

Darlene Robinson and her team with South Oak Title handles most of my Commercial Closings. Her knowledge and expertise gives me the confidence to know that my closings will be handled in a professional manner, no matter how complicated the real estate transaction is. Her proactive approach to handling closing files has aided me over the years to ensure nothing gets missed and all performance dates and critical items are met. I highly recommend Darlene and the South Oak Team to all Real Estate professionals in this market. Charlie Haas - Counts Real Estate Group

We had a wonderful experience with Grace. We were selling a piece of property which had passed through probate into a Special Needs Trust. Grace went above and beyond making certain everything would clear underwriting. It was a pleasure to work with a true professional. Everyone in the office was very friendly and polite.

This was the worst experience I have ever had. I have bought and sold 3 different properties and recently sold the last one with closing at Southoaks in Panama City Beach, which was the buyers choice. Angie Cannady was my closing agent who offered to close whenever it was convenient for me however the sellers did not sign until 3 days later, took possession of my property without me receiving funds until a day after they had signed. The president of Southoak title Chuck Tucker was complelety unapologetic, stating it wasnt his fault and they are the closing company. Complelety unprofessional. I would not recommend them to ANYONE!

I closed on my first home this morning and the entire process was SEAMLESS thanks to Kristy Hazlett and the South Oak team. Kristy was so helpful in answering any questions I had and made the closing process so smooth. I would recommend South Oak to anyone!
