Real Estate Complaints

Broker of Record for 2 franchise companies????

If ERA and BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS are really two separate real estate companies owned by the same holding why do they have the same broker of record, Mr. Robert Albanese? The companies are selling franchises to people saying they are not going to make the ERA companies merge but the same guy is the broker??? Seems fishy.

Chelsea Nevius Remax 200

Company Name:: Remax 200 Orlando FL

Chelsea Nevius of Remax 200 in Orlando Florida was presented an offer in which at the time no other offers happened to be pending she delayed the offer time to the time the contract expired and instantly took our offer and shopped it,… to out bid us. Let me state this was an all cash offer she apologized for failure to open her email to see that the offer was presented to her two days prior. Apologizing in my mind on never checking her email in box was proof enough that she is not a aggressive agent who is representing her buyers. She took way to long and in the process made excuses on why the seller had not received it which we as buyers find hard to believe with technology today, and instantly being able to receive, send, and forward contracts. Chelsea seems to us as buyers that she is looking out for her own pocket book not her sellers or they would have had the offer within hours and is not looking out for the buyers since her main goal is to best represent sellers who she has a binding listing agreement with. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that anyone BUYING OR SELING A HOME IN THE ORLANDO AREA WOULD NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CHELSEA NEVIUS REALTOR BROKER ASSOCIATE IN ORLANDO WITH REMAX 200 ORLANDO. THEY ARE ONLY LOOKING OUT OR THEMSELVES AND THEIR OWN POCKETS OF CASH. ITS CALLED GREED. LANA LAUDER LAMBERT

Agent leased me a home under construction!!!

Company Name:: Keller Williams Victorville, CA

Real Estate Agent Patricia James-Nix … aka Patti Nix, advertised a home for lease that I signed a lease agreement on and was given a specific move-in date. A few weeks later, I moved everything I owned 2300 miles across the country, only to find that I was scammed!

The agent leased me a home that was under construction and not a liveable home! There were workers on the property performing various construction duties. There was no flooring of any kind. There were no appliances. There were no doors to any room. Painting and finish work had not been done. There were no light fixtures, nor electricity. There seemed to be no furnace or hot water heater.

I was left with nowhere to go, and was forced to return to my home state at tremendous expense! The Real Estate office has REFUSED to even communicate with me and reimburse me for all of my expenses. Don’t do business with these people!

Failla Realty, Inc. requests administrative expense to remove house listing from MLS

I listed my house for sale with Failla Realty, Inc. After 2 months, I decided not to sell my house to allow the market to improve. I requested Failla Realty, Inc. to remove my house listing from MLS and other media. Administrative expense was not discussed when we signed the contract. There was no administrative expense included in the contract. Failla Realty, Inc wants me to pay $1119.98 as administrative expenses in order to remove my house listing from MLS.

Dishonest real Estate Company

I’m a real estate agent who has a client looking for a townhome in Park Slope Brooklyn.

I found a listing that was listed with another broker…BETANCOURT REALTY.

I called the broker and was told that they only co-broke if the listing agent wants to.
Betancourt realty then asked me for the name of my client to see of they were in their system. Like a fool, I gave them the name. They immediately contacted my client about showing them townhomes.

It’s bad enough that realtors in NYC have a bad rep. BUT bottom feeders like the agents at Betancourt in Park Slope Brooklyn, make it worse for everyone.

If they are that “scumy” with realtors, what self respecting buyer or seller would want to work with them?

Stay away.

SVA Group/SATTYamLLC

this management company leased a home to Friends Agianst Crack Inc for the purpose of supposrting women in recovery. At the end of the lease October 28th, 2009 the property was surrendered in impeccable condition ye the 900.00 security deposit has been witheld for no apparent reason without cause. The landlord Mr. shoham Amin has done so simply because he can. the SVA group owns 2 hotls in Petersburg, The Econo Lodge on Winfiled Road and the Knights Inn on wythe Street. I advise anyone leasing homes from SVA group to negotiate an escrow account or accounting firm to hold the deposit buyer beware.

Poor Property Management

Company Name:: Keller Williams McKenna Team

I am the homeowner. I listed with KELLER WILLIAMS MCKENNA TEAM in Las Vegas, NV.Was told I was renting to “an older couple and a labrador.” Found out I was renting to 7 people and a pitbull(once I finally went to her office to get the contract). I was constantly told what I wanted to hear. Turns out the tennant was constantly lied to as well. She termintated contract and kept 12 months of her commision after 2 months of poor managment and lack of due dilegence on the contract in the first place (didnt notice that the tenant had changed it before Realtor signed it). Currently seeking legal assistance… Just hate to see anyone else delt with in the same manner. Dont trust ANY realtor without doing your homework!!!
