Farley Martin went above and beyond. My deal to buy my house almost fell through night before due to the other party. I called them first thing crying and explained the situation. They told me not to worry and that they'd see what they could do and figure it out. They ended up fixing everything and my family is happily living in our house thanks completely to them and their amazing hard work and dedication to their clients. Thanks a million!!!

Well, our transaction did get done, but I am not sure it would have if we had simply left it in their hands. There seemed to be some intermediate tasks that weren't properly handled by the support staff, and a woman named Janette seemed untrained but pushy to the point of being rude. We found that we had to check in and follow up on their work because things were a little disorganized and communication was lacking. If it wasn't for Kristy we probably would have walked. In the end it worked out but it seemed to be a bit more trouble that it was worth for a simple transaction.

I would strongly recommend NEVER using Farley Martin notaries.
I’ve found this company’s practices completely unacceptable. In my experience, they are disorganized and unprofessional.
I hired them for a conveyance about two months before the closing date for the sale of my property.
The same day I hired them, I found out the buyer for my property had listed them as her notary also (which isn’t normally allowed). I phoned Farley Martin back that same day to cancel so I could hire a different notary. The person I spoke to asked for the buyers name, the address of the sale etc. She then told

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Everything was handled with professionalism, friendliness, and timeliness. We did our will with Kristy Martin and it couldn't have been easier. She took the time to explain everything in a way my wife and I understood. All pricing was up front. Expectations for each party was well communicated. Highly recommended!

I have done business in the past with them, I just sold a property a few days ago and found out that they did an incorrect adjustment on the lease, when I asked what was going on and how they can fix this? I got silly excuses in the end. I hired professionals to look after my purchases and my sale.
Word of advise only hire lawyers in the future as notaries are such a grey area on what they can actually professionally do.
I will be taking this firm to small claims court to get my adjustment back since they have ghosted me after several emails.

Critical: Responsiveness
My wife and I had used them several years ago and they were great,however, this time I found that I had to follow up on everything they did or didn't do, very annoyed. I even went so far to tell them what to pay or not pay didn't matter.its been three weeks now and my realtor hasn't even been paid. Won't use them again.

I give this my highest recommendation. I’ve had several real estate transactions, my will and most recently my representation agreement done. I had a number of questions and was amazed by the level of patience and professionalism by Kristy Martin and her staff. Kristy is not only knowledgeable but passionate and it shows in her attention to detail and how she handled my requests. Lastly, I live and work in this community so I truly appreciate how community focused and family friendly this business is. Thank you for making me feel like I was your number one client.
