Century 21 Real Estate Reviews

I had an interaction Lisa ** who is an agent in the Toronto area. She is highly unprofessional and mentally unstable. She arrives several hours late for appointments and abruptly goes on "vacation" in the middle of transactions and can not communicate this prior. Furthermore, she is very abusive. Called myself a paying client a "dumb **" and "** trash" several times among other names. Shes told me I'm not educated and talks down to clients. She held me hostage in an elevator throwing herself into it and holding the door open for over a half hour while she had a mental crisis yelling all kinds of obscenities. I had to call the police. I do not recommend her to anyone as she is very unsafe to be alone with. I feel she is a large safety risk to the public given how mentally unstable she is.

Always had perfect inspections and never missed a week's rent. We made call outs for the mold for months and never got fixed, too many complaints to go through.....but would not recommend this company, we still are waiting for our bond 45 days later and no communication...and yes we had written out what was wrong with the property at the beginning.

I have the worst experience of Rustenburg Century 21. I have been leasing a property in Rustenburg since July 2019. At first the company seemed to be very professional with their contracts and promises of taking good care of me and my property. I informed them that I will be moving to Potchefstroom and then on to China in the next three months.

This review represents my experience with Century 21 in South Haven, MI. Specifically, the short term rental division (Big Blue Beach Rentals) -- which is owned by Ryan, who is the managing broker for this Century 21 agency.Big Blue operates out of the same office and Ryan's contact phone identifies him as the contact for Century 21 and for Big Blue.

Provided their "home inspection" and the "home inspector" charged more than initially quoted and failed to discover easily visible issues such as: windows not working properly, missing window screens, unpainted wood, non-functioning A/C, non-functioning dishwasher, missing light fixtures, missing light fixtures, missing door knobs, non-like fixtures replaced, non-functioning garage door openers, non-functioning garage door, range top non-functioning, water lines corroded. These items have cost the home owner and the home warranty company an exorbitant amount of money. They receive their commission and the home owner is left to pick up the pieces.

Through the course of a commercial real estate transaction that a Century 21 agent, acting as the representative for the Business Asset purchase Agreement, on behalf of the Seller/leaseholder, the agent has lied to us, hung up on our real estate agent, provided false information to us, sent a contract with typos in it, failed to follow through with his own statements made to us in email form and failed to follow through with the request of the Seller that he represents. This has resulted in us effectively being pushed-out of a real estate opportunity. We believe this was done for the agent's own financial gain and has come at our business' expense. The agent has shown incredible unprofessionalism and unethical behavior resulting in us filing a claim with State of CA, Dept of Real Estate.

Century 21 Winklhofer Agent Lori ** in Clarence NY did nothing to represent our home in marketing and also as a seller's agent. Canceled open houses. Had criminal home inspectors in buyer’s side who had warrants upon further research come to our home. Told us we didn’t need to be there and inspector threw a fit about my husband keeping an eye on him. Left abruptly. Buyers did not go through with purchase one half hour after. Lori texted us. She didn’t want to call us. It was too late. Back on market, sold again, inspection done, buyer's mortgage company non approved buyers day before closing day. Our lawyer called us. Lori had not phoned us in 6 weeks. Stated she doesn’t talk to anyone. Was going to sell our home for 15,000 under listing price to these unqualified buyers.

Bought 2 homes from the same agent within 2 years, not knowledgeable at all, anything to sell a house in my opinion, who do I report him to? Basement foundation leaks terribly, nothing disclosed at closing other than lady (seller) when asked to realtor claims about water in the basement, Nothing a towel can't clean up, totally lied to our face. This home is for my 23 year old daughter, now I have 6 contractor bids between 20,000 and 12000.00, above and beyond her new 92000.00 mortgage, help, any one **, Mike.

**, Listed our home and found the buyer, all went well until he had an issue with his buyer that could not find an insurance company to underwrite the policy because of the inspection company that he chose to use. It started to be an issue until I said, "Why do you use the insurance company that currently underwrites the property?" Good idea from a none real estate person like myself? Do you think?

Mark ** was as professional as they come! From the beginning, he was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He made sure that if I had any problems, concerns or just small questions, to help me right away. My first home to sell and this process went very smooth. I would recommend him to any and everyone who’s looking for a Real Estate Agent who really understands the business and gets to know his clients to give the best service. Thank you Mark not only for making this a smooth transition, but for your kindness and understanding. It really made a difference.

The seller was by contract to fix an electrical problem with the dishwasher. He (the seller) provided false documents of a reputable electrical co. I provided pictures that proved otherwise. They did nothing!!

This is to inform you that a major scandal is now in the works. The family that holds the Master franchise in Central America is implicated in a squatting scandal and this video as you can see has gone viral. Century 21 in the US has a fine reputation however the Gonzalez family has abused its position of trust and has now been exposed in this squatting scandal. Those who look to buy properties be careful here because the plutocrats steal and the judiciary are their servants. Our squatters are the franchise owners of Century 21, Sothebys and Stewart Title so be aware because the judicial system does not protect you especially if you all are a foreign investor.

Horrible service. Century 21 is not professional at all and they're all liars looking to get paid easy. Gave me false information about homes. Kenyatta I think was the realtor's name. Horrible attitude and lies about the homes they're offering.

The property at ** is desired to be sold. The Century 21 agent sets up random buyer home inspections and when she comes she and the prospective buyers park in the tenants' parking spaces many times and today the agent brought her daughter and husband to her physical property listing and was so rude roaming the street on her cell phone and blocking the driveway while her daughter argued with one of the tenants regarding her refusal to move out of the driveway unless being threatened the cops would be called if she didn't move so tenants could get out of the driveway and on with their day.

I was selling my 2 homes myself when a person came to my home where I lived and said he was interested in my house. I spent about 35 to 40 minutes showing the property and answering questions. At the end, he then stated he was a real estate agent. I was upset but gave him the benefit of the doubt. He listed my smaller home $6000 less than what I wanted and sent me comparisons of other similar homes but they were all in need of much repair. I had just remodeled my home. He was constantly trying to devalue my property just so he could make a quick sale. There are other things he did that were highly unethical but I do not want to bore the reader with it so I will just say do not hire these people! Find a reputable agent to properly sell your home. Now I have wasted 6 months with these people as they are refusing to cancel the contract.

First time home buyer here. We got in contact with Jeff through Zillow. At our only meeting, Jeff promised he would email us listings of houses we might want to see. He also asked us to sign a year-long contract. (Our first unknown mistake) I kept up with paperwork and sent him listings of houses we'd like to see. He always emailed right away saying he would check into the details the next day. 2 weeks later there was no contact or effort to get us a tour of the house. This happened over a dozen times. We got tired of it. We expect more out of a realtor. So I called Jeff's office and asked the broker - Conrad - to end the contract early.

In July 2017, this agent called my company Buoyline Pools and Services Limited to service the swimming pool at her tenant’s property. I met with her at the property and soon after proceeded to open, clean and got the pool up to swimming condition and billed her for the services rendered. When it’s time to collect, she refused to pay, lying that she never contacted us, never met me and that it was the tenant who’s supposed to pay. We’ve been very patient with her for over a year now, even contacting the tenant ourselves but were told differently. Each time we contacted her to collect payment, she would reply with more lies.

I am writing to complain about realtor Oscar ** BRE #** who is employed with Cardenas and Company through Century 21 located in Chula Vista, CA. due to the lack of professionalism and work ethics. We began our home search in mid January of 2018, we mentioned to Mr. ** that we had a preferred budget and he agreed to help us with our home search. Flash forward six months or so, my husband and I submitted an off to which is now our home in the beginning of June 2018; however we did go through the escrow process with him being dishonest about a lot of important information based on our home, Mr. ** made the whole process extremely stressful for my family and I.

We put in an offer on a home negotiated a price, we accepted the counter and signed at 9 AM. 6 hours later we get a call stating the Century 21 agent Jordon ** never had the seller sign their counter. So at 3:08 the same guy Jordon ** with Century 21 turned in another offer to the seller and the seller accepted the other offer. COMPLETELY unethical behavior. As a buyer I am just LIVID at the unethical behavior of this agent. I called the owner of the Century 21 on Hilton Head and didn't even get an apology. Just was told the agent never got a signature from the buyer. Then why did you send us an unsigned counter offer and make us believe we just negotiated an offer!

My business relationship with agent Jennifer ** started off great - she was very considerate and helpful and seemed to genuinely want to help me. I am in a very emotional state because my husband passed away in November 2017, and starting in May I was looking for land to place a single wide home on. She knew from the very beginning this is what I had and that was the MAIN THING I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT... could a single wide manufactured house go on the property. The first property I looked at, she actually did call the codes office and validate what the property was zoned for. Unfortunately, that lot did not work out for me, and I found a different lot, which I closed on 6/21/18. My agent had assured me she checked and there was no restrictions.

We worked with Preston ** was alright (he was the agent), but new. Quite a few miscommunications. Because we didn’t ask JUST the right questions, we didn’t get all of the information. He’s a very sly businessman. However, we believe that we could’ve worked things out with him. Matt **, on the other hand, is a misogynist who is also a very accomplished mansplainer. Seriously, avoid working with this man AT ALL COST. Their one and only concern is money, which is a part of business, but when it is ALL of your business, that makes for bad business.

Very unhappy from the beginning. They wanted to show our home, with JUST exterior photos. Which I thought was very UNPROFESSIONAL. Then they demanded that I had to sign a Conditional Withdrawal form. Trying to convince me to sign by e-signature on the computer and send it to them, which I rejected. I requested a Unconditional withdrawal form, which of course they said they don’t do.

I sold a home with Century 21 earlier this summer. Overall I was fairly pleased with the amount and frequency of showings. However they were constantly trying to beat me down on my price. That is not cool. The house was worth 170000. They sold it for 142,500 after repeatedly beating me up on my price over a 30-day period of time. Very unprofessional but they did sell it in a very quick time frame. Of course giving away a property isn't that difficult. I listed a farm that I own with them.

We had this real estate agent contact us and we said we were looking at a property and we were interested in it. But there were tenants in it. She said she knew the agent that was selling the property and she also knew how to get it in the contract that the tenants would be out by the time we moved in. But then she said she was going to Vegas. She promised us she would deal with it when she got back. We had concerns and said, "Well we are interested in the property. Can you please keep on it as we don't want to lose it." She kept saying she would. I emailed her what or she was gone and asked, "Are you keeping an eye on the property." I did not know what was going on but then got an email that we had an appointment to go see it on Wednesday. We were in the bank on Tuesday setting up our finances when we got a call from her. She sounded still drunk and out of it. She then proceeded to tell us the place was sold. I was in shock.

If I could give negative stars, I most certainly would. Century 21 Masters in Brea is dishonest. To begin, we were never informed of the relationship between the escrow company and the real estate company - they were one in the same! They have involved 3rd parties in our sales transaction that are not parties to the sale, escrow, signers, deed holders, etc. They have allowed and actually forced our escrow to drag on for literally more than two years by their illegal actions of involving unrelated parties to the escrow. They have now followed procedures to have any of their desired 3rd parties complete the proper forms in order to be involved. Lastly, when we have no pending sale now (thanks to their actions) they are refusing to cancel the listing agreement despite the property no longer being available for sale and being rented.

My husband and I had an awful experience with Century 21 Real Estate during an attempt to buy a house. After my loan was denied by the bank, the seller and his realtor fought for the escrow deposit. The listing agent Karen ** and the broker Christine ** never let us talk directly to the seller which in my opinion was their way to manipulate the entire situation in order to fight for the money in escrow. At the end, we hired a lawyer who negotiated with them. The seller got $1200 from our deposit and then Century 21 required 50% of it. Be careful doing business with this company. If the deal does not go through, they will fight for your money even if it is not your fault that the transaction was not complete.

The people working here are extremely incompetent. We are also dealing with Sara ** and are facing the same problems. We also dealt with two other employees before her and they were either let go or quit without informing us that their emails and voicemails were not being checked. One of their former employees, Jonathan, told us that he was the only one who could fill out the move-in condition sheet, and he refused to write down anything that HE didn't think was a big deal. Lo-and-behold, Sara completed our move-out checklist and nit-picked EVERYTHING. We are now being charged for things we didn't do because Jonathan refused to write anything down. I won't even go into all of the unanswered emails and phone calls... If you don't absolutely have to deal with Century 21, then DON'T!!

After signing the tenancy agreement and before the keys were handed to us, our landlord abruptly ended our contract without notice, blaming the agency for not making him aware that we had pets, (which was discussed both verbally with the agent and clearly stated in reference forms for both tenants). Though in breach of contract, Century 21 backed the landlord's decision and refused to own up to their mistake. The agency also refused to refund their fees and have allegedly advised the landlord that he does not need to refund the 1.5 months rent paid to him in advance.

If I could give this agency 0 stars I would! My boyfriend was in the Navy and got a VA home loan and they set us up with the agent Debbie **, in Marion, IL. We started looking, found a house we wanted and started to move forward with everything. Paid for inspections and appraisals and once everything was done, she contacted us and told us we had to pay approximately $500 to deal with termites because the sellers didn't want to pay for it and if we didn't agree to the payment of it we lost the house. Now let me tell you that the termite inspection was done one week prior to any of the other things we paid for, so the fact that we weren't informed of this at the time was very upsetting and already a breach of the laws of full disclosure that the agent has to abide by. Anyway we agree to pay of course cause at this point we've invested too much to back out.

I've had a bad experience being a first-time home buyer. My realtor was Liz ** out of Solano County and I've never felt so betrayed in my life. I started out believing everything she said and now I feel so scammed. I was told I could not be present during the home appraisals. The seller was covering the cost just trust her. I found out later. The house might be off foundation. From a neighbor that wanted to purchase the home.
