I USED MR. OSTLIE FOR A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE CLOSING FOR MY BANK. HE WAS HANDS-ON AND HE AND HIS STAFF DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM ANYTIME.

I used this firm as my closing company for a personal, residential purchase. I was charged $550 for closing fees as the buyer of a house, about twice the fees one would expect for a house this price. I requested an invoice of what was included in the closing fees. After a heated discussion, Ostlie replied that he doesn't question what I charge in my profession for my services, though he isn't a my client. Finally, he asked if I was looking for breakdown of "ancillary costs and the wire charges and the cost of staffing the closing and calling the lender." I replied that indeed, that is what I'm requesting, to which he replied, "Well, I'm not going to do that." The seller was assessed no closing cost, as it was the sibling of Ostlie. Clearly passed the buck to me. Nepotism at its finest. Thankful that his paralegals were punctual and helpful, but I would not recommend his services.
