5 /5 Angela Carlston: I bought a house and only mildly lost my sanity thanks to Michael LaCava’s Team, legal wizards and part-time therapists.
Buying a home sounded fun until I realized it involved more paperwork than a NASA launch and a glossary of terms I was pretty sure were made up. “Escrow”? “Title insurance”? “Easement rights”? Totally fine, definitely didn’t Google every single one at 1 a.m.
Enter Michael LaCava who calmly and expertly walked us through every step, caught every little landmine buried in the fine print, and made sure we didn’t accidentally sign over our souls along with the property.
He explained everything without sounding like a robot, responded to our 100+ mildly unhinged questions like it was totally normal, and even managed to smile at closing like he hadn’t already survived six deals that week.
Special shout-out to his paralegal Jessica, who truly acted as our emotional support human. I’m not sure how many times she gently reassured us, chased paperwork, or told us “you’re actually doing fine,” but I’m pretty sure she deserves her own plaque… or a spa day.
Long story short: I now own a house, no one cried (publicly), and I would 100% trust Michael and Jessica to guide me through this chaos again, though hopefully not for at least another 30 years.
