I'm looking for a good Remote access. I know windows has its own and maybe that would be the best choice. I used TeamViewer back in the day, that was good but not sure nowadays with all the options. I would like to remotely login to my 3 render machines from my laptop when I am mobile. I would also like it if I can use the workstation at my office on my laptop like I'm actually there, but not sure if they have latency down enough to work like that. I see remote access apps like Parsec say they are low latency. My office is on Fiber so it has low ping and fast speeds.

What would you suggest?
What do you use?
Can you work in real-time on the remote machine your connecting too?

I would suggest your own VPN with WireGuard and Windows Remote Desktop.

Haven't but looks corporate orientated software. I would double down on parsec suggestion, gaming orientated isn't a bad thing. That means it has great latency and good picture quality.
Unless you need more specific features apart latency and picture quality. But those in my opinion are the most important parts for work with 3d. You don't want to add additional lag on top of your heavy scene or have have colors skewed because  of weird compression.

So far tried Parsec in the office, it works pretty damn good. Only thing is I cannot find a way from transferring files from client to host. I looked to ask this at Parsec but they don't seem to have an support email. Anyone know the answers to this?

Yeah, that's a limitation. Parsec doesn't support file transfer. You can always use google drive to push files around.
