Two of my first friends in this business was S.J. (Jimmy) Carroll and his son, David. Since July, 1983, I have been using their services throughout the five boroughs of New York City. There has never been a time that S.J. Carroll, Jr., Inc. has disappointed me or the many client’s that I have sent to them for special services. Quite honestly, I can’t imagine navigating through the offices of the Tax Collector, Assessor, HPD, DEP, and the various municipal offices that provide us with the many departmental searches required as part of our title report, without the help and expertise provided by SJ Carroll, Jr., Inc. They are, far and away, the premier company providing such services. More important than their industrywide expertise, is their service. SJ Carroll’s staff provide services second to none! Each individual has proven time and again, when I’ve called them for help and understanding, answers which are provided quickly, and with clarity. I could not be happier with the association built between our companies, and with David and his staff. As I enter my second quarter century as Choice Abstract, I thank them for contributing to my success.
“I have known Dave & Frank for many years. SJ Carroll is very responsive in terms of timeliness for specific problems as well as the expertise needed to handle small and large issues. They are very responsive to the needs of their clients and aware of the issues facing the NY title insurance industry.”
I began a working relationship with the Carroll family well over 40 years ago before opening our own Agency. The knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and superior customer service has made that relationship a pleasure over the years. Keep up the outstanding work.
They are efficient, and their customer service is exceptional.
