McLean Tarja K

I would like to share my experience regarding Tarja and her office staff, which unfortunately has been characterized by extreme unresponsiveness. We have been attempting to update an address for more than a year, starting our initial contact in January 2022. The lack of attention and disregard for our concerns is truly unacceptable. Despite our consistent follow-up through emails and phone calls, we have never received a response from anyone. It is truly disheartening to witness such a lack of care. I strongly advise against utilizing their services if you expect prompt and efficient resolution of any matter.

Very quick and easy process for a notarized document. Tarja was very professional to work with and and her business is at a very convenient location with parking right out front.

Least professional person I've ever had to deal with. Absolutely no notion for doing the job she was paid to do. Might as well be in the office chugging mojitos

Saved my bacon. Managed to squeeze me in as a last appointment which made my financing go through. Thank you so so much. ❤️

So accommodating and quick to respond to our needs. Warm, friendly and efficient. She was very thorough.

I went to see Tarja to have my affidavit witnessed. She was on-time, professional, and very accurate. I appreciated her thoroughness. She was a pleasure to deal with.

I had a highly unsatisfactory experience with this notary service, which turned out to be a complete waste of my time and money. The service quality was absolutely appalling! Their communication is abysmal; they never bothered to respond to any of my inquiries. It seems like their sole objective is to attract new clients just once, without any intention of providing ongoing support. Additionally, when I needed something corrected or addressed, they conveniently claimed to be too busy" despite having numerous available slots the day before."

I guess I was naive about how much a simple notary signature would cost. The process took 5 mins at $84.00! I found out later that I did not have to have a notary witness. It is funny that I was not informed until I looked at the form later. Instead I threw my money away!

Probably the worst experience going here. The fee magically went up with no clarification. couldn’t provide me with a form A and forgot to forward my home insurance (I secured a month before fire season) to the lender.completely not customer oriented & will not return phone calls or emails to sort her mess out.I will never recommend her to anyone.go else where it will save time, money and your sanity.The only good reviews on here are from her family by the looks of things. Just a joke!

I have used Tarja’s services several times for Real Estate transactions as well as other legal matters. Generally, I received satisfactory services, considering she is a notary rather than a lawyer. On this occasion, I made several calls to check charges for a simple, straightforward conveyancing. Her quote was $300 less than others, so I returned to her. I made an appointment well in advance and was given no instructions regarding any documents that I needed to bring. Upon arrival, I was told that I needed two documents, both that I had already packed in preparation for my move! This led to a rush to locate them and get the information back to her on the same day. I suggested that it would be helpful to be given such information on the phone, but she gave no response. I also asked why she had deducted an additional $135 in fees, and her response was noncommittal. She held back $500 for payment of utilities, even though I assured her that my account was up to date and the payout would be less than $100. Two weeks later, having heard nothing, I called the Utilities office and was informed that an email had gone out to her with that same information. I then emailed her, politely asking again why she had charged higher than her quote and why I hadn’t received the balance of the holdback, expecting that it would be e-transferred, as were the other funds. She did not reply. A week went by, and I emailed again, less politely, asking where my money was. No reply. Several days later, I phoned her office and asked her (very pleasant) receptionist to find out where my money was. She returned my call within a short time, stating that she had my cheque and would mail it along with a letter that same day. The cheque and letter have now arrived. My concerns were not addressed. I will not utilize Tarja’s services again, nor will I ever recommend her. I expect to be treated with courtesy, and to have my questions answered in a professional manner. I do not expect my money to be treated as if it was hers to do with as she chooses.
