Poor representation and unethical practice

Realtor, Linda Z of ReMax, Bryn Mawr, ,PA was only concerned with her financial gain and not our best interest in representing us in the sale of our condo. Examples: 1) The agreement of sale was written with the potential buyer being able to do construction on the property prior to the actual sale. Linda Z advocated this and tried to get this through without our knowledge. 2)Linda Z went on vacation and did not put our pending sale transaction in the hands of another experienced realtor but rather let her assistant (who, though nice enough, was unknowledgeable and inefficient). 3) Much to our dismay, the original sale did not take place. Why? The buyer was another realtor who was unable to secure a mortgage regardless of the fact that the sale agreement did not have a mortgage contingency clause. BUT, there was a loophole that both Linda Z and her realtor-buyer knew about — and we did not. The loophole pertained to paperwork from the condominium association. Linda Z informed me at the time of signing the agreement of sale that the buyer had a 5-day window to negate the purchase but she assured me that the required paperwork would be given to the purchaser in a timely manner. NOW HERE\’S THE KICKER: Both Linda Z and the realtor-buyer knew that the condo assoc. routinely submits one page of the paperwork one day prior to the sale date. Therefore, that was the purchaser\’s excuse for not showing up at settlement. 4) Linda Z was incommunicado throughout this troubling time, but conveniently, was able to communicate with her assistant, the head of the ReMax office, and — inappropriately — with a member of my family with whom she should not have been discussing this matter. In summation, Linda Z was completely unsatisfactory at her job but more importantly, she was UNETHICAL in her dealings. BUYER and SELLER BEWARE.

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!

ERA Statewide Realty Duped Grandma!

Company Name:: ERA Statewide Realty

A client of ERA Statewide Realty of Cranford, New Jersey put an offer on my mother’s home of 52 years. According to the contract, an additional $33,490 deposit was supposed to be paid by the buyer and held in escrow by ERA Statewide prior to closing. When the buyer walked away from the deal, we put the house on the market again and sold it for considerably less than the first offer. When we tried to collect damages from the deposit, it was brought to our attention that the second deposit was never paid. According to the managing broker for ERA Statewide, their agent knew that the buyer did not pay the second deposit but elected not to advise my mother, her agent or her attorney that this clause of the contract was never executed. ERA Statewide’s managing broker expressed frustration over this incident, adding a comment that she told her agent that she hoped we “sue the bejeezers out of him.” She also indicated that she is in no position to monitor the activities of her agents.

Since we lost all leverage with the original buyers in so far as trying to recoup damages, I advised ERA Statewide that we are holding them liable. ERA Statewide’s managing broker denied all previous statements and indicated that we would “have to go to litigation.” I mailed a certified letter to the CEO of ERA Franchise. He did not have the professional courtesy to respond but his office did advise me that ERA Statewide is independently owned and they could do nothing. Well, they CAN revoke the franchise, you know!

So basically, ERA Statewide duped grandma and the franchise management could care less. ERA Statewide exhibited, in my opinion, unscrupulous and unethical practices; regarding the intentional and willful withholding of information relevant to a real estate sale. Avoid these people like you would avoid Swine Flu!

listing agent wanted all of the commision would not take our offer

Company Name:: re max all pro realty diane kirvan

we were showed the property the in sept. we asked our agent if the owners were willing to do a lease purchase deal to give us time to either rent or sell our home. All we expected was a yes or no instead we were asked by diane kirvan to give the owners some time that the dad was having some medical tests done. It turns out that the dad had lung cancer. again we were asked to give the family some time. On 10-11-09 Diane sent our agent a email asking us to wait til after 10-13-09 that the family would be better prepared to make a decision. She said that she was doing her due diligence regarding a market rent for the house. She had several terms we agreed to all of them. We were put on hold for almost a month. We finally got fed up with her putting us off and I was leaving the area to go back home so Diane was told by our agent that we were putting in a offer to buy and when we sent the offer over with a 5,000 check she said she would not accept it because she had her own customer offer and their check. I have bought and sold many properties all over the USA and there were times I would have 3 offers at one time I could choose which offer I wanted. As far as we know the owners were not aware of our new offer. We were always was going to buy the house we just kept being put off by her and was told to give the family time. So I got screwed for being compassionate for the other family .This is what is wrong with this country and why we are in the shape we are now in. Pure greed.And the real estate board will not stop the agents they police them selves. What happened to having ethics.

Misrepresntation by WEICHERT REALTORS

I will be sure and tell 250 people in southeast Florida how terrible your service is.

I left a message with Weichert’s answering service Sunday 11/1/2009; 3 days later Rachel Bracha leaves a tired sounding message on my voice mail leaving me HER phone # that goes to voice mail when I call back the next day.

I access my Weichert web account and send Rachel an email requesting info on renting a certain property listed for $1,000 per month, requesting exact info. Next day I get an email from Weichert saying that Rachel is dropping me as a prospect.

These people should be banned from conducting any real estate transactions in Florida, imo.

I quote below:
“Our Account Executive Rachil Bracha, REALTOR, has indicated that you are no longer interested in assistance with information on Miami Real Estate. ”

I call the office Monday AM, give two property listing #’s — both listings have the WRONG rental price per month. instead of the rental rate of $1,000 per month, the condo rents for $1,000 per week.

The new agent I called asks me what date the 4 month seasonal rental will be, I reply sometime in December it will start. That’s not good enough for her, she becomes argumentative and says that she needs the precise date. I tell her I am just formulating plans and want general information and accurate property listings to select from.

I ask the agent for a listing that is accurate on the website for a Sunny Isles rental on the beach. Two times I select a $1,000 per month rental listing, two times the listing rents for $1,000 per week.

When confronted with how inaccurate her website is she is unable to provide me with the information and hangs up.

Meanwhile, I go to Craigslist, type in “season” + “internet” + “beach” and get 79 property listings in the south florida area.
Obviously the clients that have listings with Weichert should go somewhere else.
