South Oak Title & Closing - Panama City Beach Panama City Beach Pkwy, Panama City Beach

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.

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.

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

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!

Love this Company and Love everything they did to get me in the house of my dreams. Thanks South Oak Title!!!

Beautiful office and caring employees! They made our closing as stress free as possible.

They have worked very hard for us. Definitely recommend
