RE/MAX Reviews

My biggest issue was we were not thanked for using Remax, not thanked for the commission she got for not a lot of work. I have bought and sold houses where you get a letter, card, bottle of champagne, etc. The only good thing is the folks' house did sell for what we asked for. Only reason we used a Realtor is because the market was bad and we needed more exposure. Otherwise we did everything right. Do your research for sure. Also, watch your attitude when working for us.

I called and spoke with another broker Katie and she seems like she was going to help me and was very apologetic. Said she would email me the forms to sign to be released from any contract. Thank goodness I read all the fine print because the form she sent me to sign wasn’t much different they still want me to give them a percentage of my house if I sell it within the next year with anybody else. Did you not get the point that I was tricked and should’ve never been in this contract in the first place so this is why I’m taking it to Consumer Affairs because I’m tired of getting the runaround and this isn’t right. I just want to warn other consumers about this particular business. Thank you.

I ultimately had to cancel my signed lease, which could have been avoided if I had been informed correctly from the start. I hope that Re/Max takes this feedback seriously and ensures that their agents are providing accurate information and honoring their commitments. This entire process has caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the same experience

Finally, our offer was put through and accepted. The seller had health issues and told Dylan several times that he would need 30 days after closing to pay for movers and get his stuff out. Dylan never put that in the contract. We never discussed it with the seller and assumed he knew that he had to be out. Dylan never even showed up to the closing to assist the seller or had much contact with him after listing the property. Thank God I purchased the property because the investor who I believe was giving Dylan a kickback for the lower offer would have most likely kicked the seller out, keeping all of his personal property. I think this is criminal and have contacted the state real estate commission.

Please, if you are reading this, do not do business with RE/MAX or Dylan. We have to stand up for American values and stop letting companies get away with saying each office is independently owned and operated. Remax is as much to blame as Dylan in my eyes. Dylan made $12,600 in commission on this deal. If that is as aggravating to you as it is to me, please stand with me and do not use Remax or Dylan. I am stuck paying the mortgage until the seller vacates the property and Dylan will not return my calls.

They did this for monetary gain and this is forgery in the first degree. I've been completely canceled out from the process due to a corrupt judge, executor, agent and various lawyers. The court was not hearing my grievances and consequently everybody in the situation has facilitated my brother's criminal behavior. Thanks to ReMax I've lost a lot of personal items on top of losing inheritance. I filed charges with the police and the sheriff. Unfortunately nobody listens. Let this be a warning. Sell your house privately.

If you want a property manager, who is going to address maintenance request in a timely manner then you may want to reconsider Remax-They seem to have no problem telling me I was going to be out of water for three or four days... And was not willing to call a weekend plumber to get the job done. Oh, and I Pay $2000 in rent, I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect to have consistent plumbing-and I have somebody else cleaning up all of these floods.

In anticipation of the move, I started procuring bedroom sets and a dining table. Over two consecutive days, on February 17th and 18th, I arranged for the delivery of two queen beds and associated furnishings, along with a dining table. Coordinating with sellers and a moving company, I left a message on the landlord's landline requesting access to the back door for furniture delivery. Regrettably, the landlord displayed reluctance, making the process challenging. Throughout this ordeal, Rocco seemed to align more with the landlord's stance rather than mediating between us, the tenants, and the landlord. As the moving date approached, I received notification from the international moving company that our belongings, shipped from abroad, had arrived at the NY port and were ready for delivery.

However, due to the landlord's refusal to facilitate access to the backdoor, we were unable to have them delivered to our flat. In a bid to resolve the situation, I sought assistance from Michelle **, CRO at Re/Max Realtor company, explaining our predicament. Despite assurances of prompt action, she failed to follow up as promised, leaving our moving boxes stranded in the storage unit of the international moving company. While Rocco has demonstrated responsiveness in attending to calls even during weekends, I'm disheartened to find his assistance lacking in facilitating our move-in process before the lease commencement date, particularly when the landlord had initially agreed to cooperate.

I do not have time to waste with their efforts to tie up the property after my reconsideration of the listing contract with RE/MAX Realty Team of Cape Coral. Even before I decided that I wanted to terminate the contract, I had misgivings about ** as he advised me to list the property way below its value while agreeing to a 5% total commission to be split between himself, his broker and a potential buyer's realtor. We had a verbal agreement that the contract was open to myself bringing the buyer but ** offered me only 1% if that were to happen, not the higher commission which would go to a buyer's realtor thus awarding him 4% if I brought the buyer.

** used my own description of the property and placed only 8 of my own pictures of the property on the listing. He was given access to 70 of my own photos of the property but didn't use them and never suggested any professional photography. He said photos don't bring buyers and discouraged the idea of open houses. He never showed the property one time. The efforts he made for his commission were limited to him having me sign a contract, listing the property on the MLS at his quick and dirty, low sale price for three days until I realized how underpriced it was, changing the listing price and sending me notifications via text or phone calls about around ten or less showings that buyers' realtors had scheduled.

After a month, I had the solid impression that this realtor was interested only in his profit for the least amount of effort. On Friday, February 16 I decided that I no longer wished to waste time in this arrangement and requested that he terminate the contract and withdraw the listing from the MLS. I wished to maintain a friendly relationship with him as my neighbor the way it has been for 20 years. He said that he would work with his broker to terminate the listing. On Monday, I found that the listing was still active so I called ** on the phone asking what the problem was. He cited that this action must be done by the broker YOSELYN ** and that she was not in the office all day on Friday and that now, February 19th was a holiday.

When I expressed my dissatisfaction with this delay he accused me of wanting to list with another agent and told me he would not terminate the contract. That afternoon, 2/19/2024 I spoke with YOSELYN ** on the phone and she made it a point to make me firmly aware that she was the boss and owner of the company. I told her on no uncertain terms that I was no longer interested in keeping my property listed with her company but she said "Sorry, you will have to use one of my other agents".

I confirmed that I was not interested and also uncomfortable with my knowledge of real estate law. She said she was willing to have one of her powerful attorneys explain to me, or a friend of mine, her reasoning for not abiding my wishes and I nervously got off the call. It took days of my insistence and numerous requests to get the listing withdrawn on Thursday 2/22. They refuse to terminate the contract and since I am in foreclosure it is unethical to bind up my property from any potential sale.

Doug also accused me of having the funds to close on this house when in fact I don't, then he had the audacity to try and get another $5000 out of me and offer a 30 day extension for closing, so at this point RE/Max in Winter Springs could never be trusted to do business like this for any homebuyer, and who knows what they actually do to the sellers.

The property is unbuildable right now due to septic issues at the complex. As of this fact no bank would loan on it, I obtained a prequal from USBank. I then contacted Jake who informed me a conventional loan would not fly. I think I sweetened my owner finance offer to a 2 year payoff, he still refused to present the offer. He referred me to a lender Frank L at Northstar Lending, Frank arranged a loan. We then made an offer and signed a contract to purchase bare land at Garnerville NV for $35,000. The purchase offer I made had an appraisal contingency, as well as the loan required one. These were accepted by the seller. The loan Frank discussed with me was $21,000 @ %10 due in 2 years with a late fee no more than %10 of the payment. Payment to be $969.04 per mo. Buried in the legalese were multiple fees. The loan disclosures required an appraisal, a loan application and a credit report.

The lenders signed off without an appraisal, which is their right. I was not informed of this change. This change, is a material change to the delivery of goods specified in the purchase contract and the loan agent had a fiduciary duty to inform me. The realtor as well knew or should have known there was a material change in the delivery of goods ordered and had a duty to inform me. The realtor nor loan agent never ordered an appraisal. I was never informed of this lapse/ change in the contract. They simply sent over forms for me to sign off. These were presented as all items checked and filled, no problems at all.. I proceeded in good faith under the impression that the appraisal had been done and met the lenders approval. My est. cost to close fee worksheet even had a hand line item cost of $700 for the appraisal delivered 11/21/22. This was sent to me by Frank the same day the investors were signing off.

By removing the appraisal from the process. I have been injured. Had the property not appraised for $35,000, I would have had the right to walk away or renegotiate. The total cost of the loan was never verbally discussed, the agreement only appeared at signoff. Many fees appeared, large and small. a fee for extra payments is really a prepayment penalty. The signing was a typical sign this, sign that. No time to read, and by that time I was pretty much legally committed to the deal. I have a head injury that makes reading a bit difficult. However much of these transactions rely on good faith. Who, even without a disability can digest all the fine print and legalese in a Software license agreement?

Crafty and devious persons have buried language in these forms that constitute unenforceable clauses. Most recently a UK gaming company hid language in one that gave rights to the souls of the signers. I saw in the disclosures the items discussed, however the fees not discussed evaded me, I believe the appraisal was not done due to the fact that the last 2 sales of lots in this neighborhood were at $25,000 on 11/14 22. If it was appraised the loan/ deal would have fallen apart. I propose the laws be changed to reflect the following not only for Real Estate but for all consumer loans.

4. At signing of papers a copy should be presented to the signer. I had to track mine down Ticor title a week after signing and 5days after filing. Had I left Ticor with a copy, I might have caught this prior to filing.

5. In cases involving multiple parties, the attorneys should be included in the indictment to avoid issues such as in US v Edmonds 905 F supp. 827. They {corporate attorneys} are undoubtedly involved at least in the creation of contracts/schemes and have knowledge of crimes committed. I am not the only injured party here, The Lender has put investors capital against insufficient collateral and could lose a lot in default. The sellers, through no fault of their own have been involved in a questionable real estate deal that could reverse.

There are a lot of great realtors out there, but depending on the firm they work for, you may be left in the dark and not supported by the broker if the deal goes south. You may not be communicated with in a timely manner about any potential issues, and they may wash their hands of any guidance or support once things go south. This is what happened to us with RE/MAX Precision. For example, they continued to tell us they were working on getting our earnest money released – 7 days after the money was already gone. They then said, “it’s your problem” and walked away altogether. They never provided us with timely communication about any potential issues, and we had to spend hours tracking down banks and other parties involved to even get a decent part of the story of what was happening. We had to sue RE/MAX Precision to even understand the base issue or get any attention to this matter.

A great lesson learned about the behind the scenes of a standard real estate contract that seems straightforward but is not. Holding the money, money secured, and money settled means nothing in the contract in situations like this. We will not be using RE/MAX Precision ever again. If this is the way they support their realtors and treat their clients, then that is not a company we wish to do any business with. If you have a great realtor with RE/MAX Precision, I suggest you hire your own attorney too- just to be safe.

We found the Charleston dream home but discovered our Newington rental investment property; that we hadn’t lived in since may 2007; nor even seen since 2010; was a 3rd world unsellable embarrassment beneath the dignity for Nikki ** to even show; much less even sell for absolute top dollar; to any prospective buyer. We had to turn our Newington tear-down into Buckingham palace & sell it for top dollar within (90) days; to get both our money needed out of our Newington investment before our interest rate lock expired; & to even barely qualify for our rocket mortgage; much less pull off the purchase of our below market priced Charleston PGA championship Shadowmoss country club dream home purchase; overlooking the pond; clubhouse & 18th green impossible?

Why even try; before losing our already paid wish, prayer & a rabbit’s foot wasted & thrown away earnest money down payment; along with our impossible to duplicate; ever; locked 5.125 through august 9 rocket mortgage interest rate; & our Charleston either impossible fantasy dream come true; or never to be. God had an easier time creating the earth in (6) days than Nikki ** had in closing on the sale of our Newington glen oaks condominium July 27, 2022; enabling us to get our not only highest above actual pre-approved mortgage qualification appraisal (3) buyer above asking price offers; enabling us to get our absolute top dollar out of our glen oaks embarrassment unsalable wreck; by our 5.125 mortgage rate lock expiration date deadline; to then just-in-time; close on our Charleston country club Shangri-La; at the last absolute at the buzzer final split second; on of the final august 9, 2022 deadline day; before we lost not only our never again rocket mortgage interest rate; but also our Charleston home; with our Charleston seller now being able to simultaneously reject our purchase offer; while forfeiting (read confiscating) our earnest money; because we’d violated the our buyer deadline condition to close on time; with the seller now able to accept one of several now higher existing back-up offers on the table; for our Charleston dream home; that by now; my wife had her heart set on.

In between; using her own painters; woodwork & furniture bathroom vanity & kitchen cracked corian countertop; electrical & cleaning; to include restretching & stained carpet & whole house cleaning; perforated; (damaged) & with sheetrock holes everywhere; & completely replacing our failed; no filters changed by our tenant; & now worthless; beyond repair; (42) year old central air conditioning system; Nikki ** got done a $40,000 makeover whole house houdini magic act; for $15,000; & then on a dime; Nikki staged our home; showing it online & got it sold for absolute above asking price top dollar; (because Nikki made our old home new) on the 1st Remax day Nikki got it live on the market online; July 2, 2022.

What Nikki ** did for us is s0 impossible that even Nikki couldn’t possibly do it again. That being; until Nikki ** then pulls off the same magic act for her next client. Nikki did so much, with so little to work with, in so short a time; while constantly bombarded by my hi-pressure impatient phone calls, texts & emails; no psychiatrist running a nut house for the criminally insane could survive what Nikki did for us; much less; in so short a time.

If I told you what else Nikki did for us, you’d never believe me, so why bother. What Nikki loves most; besides making the impossible in buying & selling homes possible; is using her bubbling over, enthusiastic gift; of never saying no, but only yes; to make people happy. Google me, Richard E. **; author of (10) books; worldwide. I couldn’t ever dream up the Nikki ** story; until in real time; for me my wife; Nikki turned the fiction of a fairy tale into fact. I can only write the story; by stating in fact; what Nikki actually did for us. We still can’t believe the reality of what Nikki did for us. But somehow, some way; Nikki did make it happen. I call her Nicolette. If you choose Nikki to be your realtor; please; like I was; don’t be impossible. Going through it twice, she might not survive it.

I immediately went to the listing and saw that the listing agent ** with Remax out of Kingman 2404 Stockton Hill Rd Ste A Kingman, AZ, 86401 had listed this property as on City Sewer. This is completely illegal. It will cost me an additional $14,000 to have the plumbing converted to city sewer as listed. I decided to contact **. She was very appreciative that I called. I told her I wanted to resolve the issue. She said she would get back to me. She never did. When I contacted her, she told me she spoke with her brokerage company and they had no intention on resolving this issue and blamed it on my buying real estate agent. I then spoke with 2 different attorneys which explained to me I had a very strong case. Fraud, misrepresentation, and Negligence on both parties the sellers and the seller's agent and brokerage.

I have since retained legal counsel and will be moving forward with a lawsuit. I wanted this nightmare to be resolved at the lowest level possible, and in a civil and professional manner, but it appears Remax is not an honorable company. I do NOT recommend anyone use this company for any reason! I will gladly update my review on this company, if somehow it is resolved. Until then, I will be sure to tell everyone I know about the terrible experience I have had with REMAX!

Yesterday, January 30th, we were suddenly informed that the check-in time would be postponed to February 13th. This led to the disruption of my entire plan and the imminent prospect of homelessness. We were two Chinese girls studying abroad who didn't know anyone in Dallas. Jackie ** even asked Caroline **, who does not belong to the company, to contact me. After I did not accept the delay, she even asked me to go to God to solve the housing problem. A fraud of a religious nature! If God had seen what these people had done, HE would have punished them. These two principals were very unprofessional and irresponsible, wasting my time and money. Very poor service!!! I hope your company can give me a reasonable answer, and please face up to the current situation of your management chaos.

On 8/15/21, Jeff ** calls me and says I am on a month-to-month lease, and they were going to move forward with selling the property immediately. I told him I was not on a month-to-month lease, and he began arguing with me for 15 minutes and would not back down. I finally told him the conversation was ending and I was going to contact Andrew and LEAP Property Management. Any real estate agent with over 30 years of experience should have said let me recheck with the owner and circle back with you. Not Jeff **, the unethical, unscrupulous Re/Max real estate agent. He wants to argue about everything. In doing a short search of complaints online of Jeff ** I found another one dated 4/25/19 complaining about him arguing and lying as this is the same experience I am having with him now. Jeff ** has a behavior pattern of lying and arguing and Re/MAX should have reined this in a long time ago!

On 8/11/21, Jeff states he is listing the house on Friday and going live. I have told Jeff on numerous occasions that I work from home and there are to be no showings Monday – Friday from 8-5. I have to then escalate this to the owner and with Jeff. Jeff goes on to tell me to have the house show ready and that it was not when he did the pictures. Anyone can go to the house listing and see that the house was in fine shape. Besides this fact, it is not in my lease to have the house show ready. If he or the owner want the house cleaner than it was, they need to hire a professional service. Again, a real estate agent with 30 years of experience should know this and be respectful to the tenant. Jeff ** goes on to say that the owner does not want double payments and I had to tell him that Andrew’s double payments are not my problem.

On 8/13/21, Jeff ** proceeds to tell me that the house is going live at noon on Friday after I have told him on three previous occasions that I cannot show the house Monday – Friday from 8 – 5 because I work from home. Jeff ** is the MOST DISRESPECTFUL real estate agent I have ever met. I told him I was going to file a TREC complaint and he stated that he would sue me. Subsequent to this I asked the owner to rein in his real estate agent. However, I have realized that is to Re/MAX that needs to rein him in.

To prevent further miscommunications, I started a group thread with the owner and Jeff. I have had to put up with guy now since June and I am done. NOBODY SHOULD TO BUSINESS WITH Re/MAX! Jeff ** has a pattern of unethical and unscrupulous behaviors that should have been reined in a long time ago by the Re/MAX Corporate Office. But instead, Re/MAX touts Jeff ** as one of their top real estate agents in Dallas. Re/MAX has the same reputation as a timeshare organization. DESPICABLE!

Mind you, this is a house that's over 100+ years old, but has 2bd/1ba, and huge kitchen, living room and master bedroom....Of course, it's not going to look like a Victorian mansion when the people before us ripped all the wiring out, left piles and piles and piles of trash we've tried to throw away a little at a time over the years, and we have had to repair everything out of our own pocket due to our landlord living on a limited income. He would have if necessary, but since my husband runs his own contracting business, most of the problems we can fix ourselves. He does have a lot of tools, and it looks like 'junk', but since we were not given permission to build a building, we made do, as we knew we were out growing our Lil home.

I am also an assistant manager for Walmart, and I work over 50+ hrs/week. I make really good money, have Excellent credit it took me a lot of time and effort to build, and have been approved 2x for a mortgage. We just didn't want to leave such a wonderful landlord and the land is beautiful. We do not have the time or the money to pour into a home we never thought we'd have a chance to own, especially thousands if not tens of thousands to fix everything.

We called Tuesday, the day Shane told us he had open availability all week, actually, and wouldn't do anything until he spoke with us. When Tuesday came, he only replied to one text stating he would be at the estate sale all day the NEXT day, but wouldn't respond after my husband got home on Wednesday. I made him aware we work a lot, and have limited free time as we are currently moving. I'm guessing he thought that talking to me as a woman, that I would be more gullible, but I've been the one home searching. I know all the several diff types of home loans, and about how mortgages work. He'd have been better off trying it with my husband, who let's me handle all the financials of even HIS business. Wednesday rolls around, and I get zero response from him. Today Thursday, still no response from him in text or by phone.

I find it difficult to work with realtors, because they only care about people who have money. They don't want to help you with your dream of owning your own home, but to line their pockets with cash to the highest bidder. We already purchased another home before the land was for sale, before our sweet Wonderful landlord passed away, and had explained to him before the tragedy that we wanted to move by August 15th. He had agreed to this, but now the realtor has given us a handwritten note with the WRONG dates in it to move. We were not told the days they say we were, and since the realtor is not willing to politely and professionally work with us, well YOU can rent the dumpster and clean up the yard like we had planned since we won't have the time.

I now do not have the patience, and am angry beyond belief as to how we've been treated. Thanks RE/MAX, for hiring the most pompous, judgemental, unreliable, rude realtor you could find. I hope the greedy family that's selling the 180+ acres our 85 year old landlord spent his WHOLE LIFE keeping in the family for your future generations is proud of you all, but I somehow highly doubt it.

I also found out that in 2 months the floors will cave in. Will fall. So now I have to find somewhere else to stay because it's dangerous in this house. My babies could fall through the floor. RE/MAX I don't I don't understand if you send somebody under the house why they would not tell you what was going on. Did the seller know somebody if they went under this house? Had to know because I have four different plumbers, HHA man and a guy that deals with foundation of the house who had to come and look. I'll say that if anybody would under this house they had to know the danger. You put us in danger. You put us in danger. You sold me a home for almost $200,000 and I have to evacuate because somebody could die if they fall through the floor. When I called upset and in tears John told me that nothing was wrong with the house when they sold it to me. He tried to basically shift the blame and said we caused it so that I did it.

You lose my religion. I did hang up on him because he accused me and my family of do it all this to this house within a matter of since January of this year. I sent him the pictures. They don't want to help. They don't care. They sleep very well at night after they took the money and sold us a trashy house that's going to fall apart there. Was already falling apart. The only way I could ever even afford to get the rest of this fixed is if something happened to me and a life insurance policy was to kick in. I am just saying that to say this. I don't have that kind of money. That I don't want anything to happen to my babies or my children. This was supposed to be something so they would never end up homeless because we have been homeless before. It looks like we may be again all thanks to ReMax.

There was a whole list of things that needed to be replaced as far as broken screens, missing light bulbs, broken light bulbs, clogged sink, yard full of weeds, leaking fridge, broken blinds and a ice maker that did not work. I was expecting to have someone do a walk through with me prior to moving in but that wasn’t the case. I had to move into a dirty house and compile a list of work orders for things to get fixed. Yes, the long list of work orders were done/fixed but it should have already been done. The owners did not want to fix their ice maker on their fridge so I had to pay out of pocket for the new part and labor to fix their appliance.

Later in the year during monsoon season the bush in front of the house which is as tall as the roof line needed to be trimmed. The owners refused to take care of it and said it was tenant responsibility. Yes, the landscaping is tenant responsibility but it states the homeowners will be responsible for trees higher than roofline. Looks like a loophole to me since it’s a bush and not a tree. So I bought some hedge trimmers to trim it however I did not own a ladder to reach the top of it. I had to pay 80$ to get it done professionally. Not even a month later the homeowners hired a company to chop the bush in half after I just paid 80$ to get it trimmed. At this point I knew I wasn’t going renew my lease.

At the end of my lease and it was move out time, I was packing up uniforms that I kept in a spare bedroom closet and noticed there was a white powder on them. I looked up and there was a crack in the ceiling of the closet that I have never noticed before. Which is understandable because it’s in a spare bedroom closet ceiling. I never had a reason to go stick my head in the closet and look up. Anyway, I wanted to be present during the move-out inspection and the property manager thanked me for how well I had taken care of the property. The property was in a lot better condition than what it was when I moved in, and cleaner.

I pointed out the crack in the ceiling to the property manager just so that he was aware that this was something that I came across during my move out and he 100% knew/believed that I was telling the truth and that I did not cause that damage. It looked like someone was in the crawl space and put a knee or foot on the ceiling. First off, I never had a reason to be in the crawl space nor would I want to go up there. Nor did I have the means to even get up there! If there was an issue, I would have simply put in a work order. Also, if let’s say hypothetically I felt the need to go in the crawl space and I cracked the ceiling, I would have had it fixed myself without anyone even knowing. It makes no sense that I’d point it out if it was something I did.

In result, I am being robbed of 458$ out of my security deposit for “tenant damages” referring to the crack in the ceiling. It is absurd to steal this money from me. Even the property manager knows and believes I did not do this and STILL they are taking this money from me. If I did not point it out to the property manager I 100% believe it would have been missed. I was also made aware that these homeowners had opted out of getting a home inspection prior to buying the property. They bought the property and then put it up for rent. I was the first tenant. This is more proof that this was there before I moved in. Rent was always on time, never late, even with COVID. This is stealing without a question and something needs to be done about it. People need to be aware about what this company does. This needs to be made right. Either Remax or the homeowners NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

Our realtor spoke to them and they finally came to their senses and put a conditional offer pending inspection. Upon bringing in an inspector to come into the unit they started their ** again. There is a sign that clearly asks people viewing the unit to take their shoes off, these people trampled all over the floors in their snowy shoes, THEN the audacity to use a heap of paper towels to do God knows what with, left them ON THE FLOOR - who leaves garbage in peoples house? When asked about it they lied to our agent, even though we have pictures of the place before the visit and after the visit.

When our realtor confronted them, Harv ** refused to provide the name of the inspector that came to the unit as they cited "too many repairs needed to the place" - fair enough, but can we get a report ? Harv ** took flight and downright refused to provide the inspectors information and was very rude and condescending to our agent stating that her being a woman, she did not know what she was doing!! I am very disappointed with this agent and his client, RE/MAX needs to provide training to their agents! This behaviour is unbecoming and unnecessary. Above all they refused to sign the release, so now we are stuck having to wait another day because these fools feel they have the right to mess with people’s lives!

I must say that we shall not be entertaining anymore viewings from any RE/Max agents, I know it punishes the good ones BUT having to deal with this Nonsense is ridiculous and cruel. If the place is not for you, then keep it moving – no need to insult our female agent as she was not even present during the inspection, if they were unhappy about anything, they could have simply picked up the phone and spoke with her. Instead, they sent a text with 2 lines saying that the condo unit failed inspection and they are not interested, our agent tried calling them all afternoon to get some information from them BUT Harv ** simply ignored his phone from 2pm, only to resurface after 6pm! Very Unprofessional!!!!

I conveyed my complaint formally to Remax Turkey office with all the evidence at the end of December 2020, they did not even give a response. I wrote to Remax Global same thing no response. There are all these legal loopholes and system problems that helps them get away with something like this. So I can not get that money back by going to court or seeking legal action. I was hoping being a global brand Remax could solve the issue but unfortunately they must have seen no problem in these unethical and illegal behavior. I am writing all these so others can be saved, I have no hope that Remax could do the right anyway.

So I waited patiently for a follow-up communication. After all, her livelihood is based on earning commissions from our real estate transactions, and she had verbally committed to representing my wife and me. I assumed she would get in touch with me when her issue was resolved. When the pandemic hit, and it slowed or halted business operations, again I assumed Ms. ** would be even more willing to earn a commission off of my real estate transaction. But this did not occur as that third house we had toured and I was interested in purchasing sold during the pandemic. Apparently, Ms. ** and I could have pursued this transaction or a different real estate transaction at any point during the pandemic, but she chose to be unprofessional and unethical by not communicating to tell me that she no longer chose to represent my wife and me for whatever reason she had.

When I said I had to move our one month early because of the safety issues, they wanted me to take off work to meet repair professionals to fix the house for the next person. They charged me more than one month's rent for leaving early and kept my deposit - which was not applied to the charges. Once you sign the lease, forget getting anything fixed until you move out. Expect to be there to meet their repair professionals after you give notice. Also, plan on them inventing reasons for keeping your deposit.

I am not currently working and had to sell my house in order to provide a home for me and my family in time for closing on March 30. Pat knew my situation and not only made my move more stressful, but left me with only 2 weeks to find a house to rent before my house closed. I am still not working and with COVID-19, things are not looking promising for the near future. It's approaching the end of April and even Employment Insurance is delayed due to COVID-19. My rent is coming out of my life savings at this point. I can't even sue him at this point because the Courts are closed to non-emergency cases. This man is as low as they come. Unprofessional, dishonest, untrustworthy, and unethical. Please do your homework whether buying, selling, or renting. Check all review boards and definitely check the Real Estate Council of Ontario website at ** for any charges or convictions regarding code of ethics violations.

Buying a home can be extremely stressful but John made finding the right home a pleasure for us. We looked forward to going on the "hunt" with him. He is kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. He is sharp and really knows his stuff. We highly recommend John ** and are proud to now call him a friend. Re/Max is fortunate to have him.

Every timetable he (Karim) would give me was off (or **) Like: "Your home should sell within 3 weeks to a month," ~ actually 90 days! Or ~ "Inspectors should be coming on Tues to look at property." ~ They show up on Thurs. Or I told him to give me a 1 day notice to show the house. He would call at 10am to tell me he schedule a showing at 1:00pm that same day while I was at work! Then when I did get bids to buy the house~ 2 with a mortgage, 1 all cash, he submitted the mortgage bid 1st, then pulled it for the all cash bid, stating that: that bid would close quicker & easier ~ within 3weeks. Instead, "everything" flipped as to satisfy "The buyer" & not me.

The buyer made demands & Karim acted as if he was working for them. & when a problem had occurred ~ & I asked: "What was my options...?" Karim had tap danced all around the issues for fear I would cancel the deal & the house would be put back on the mkt. & that's when I found out: his asst. was actually the broker for the buyer & wanted me to now take 15k off asking price so I can sell my house before the holiday arrived in full swing. Yet every week when I would leave a message asking when will the closing occur (papers sign in Aug, was suppose to close in Sept & we are now in the 2-3rd week of Oct. ???) - my calls are not being answered!

On top of this, Karim refer me to a lawyer Danielle **, whom was introduce to me to help with the closing in sept. She talked to me by phone: 5x & by text 12x, by e-mail @ another 10x. Yet never ask to meet me, nor give me a break down of her fee's that I asked for. Instead karim & danielle engaged in conversation about my house & personal info. Regarding my property with the person who held the mortgage to my property without my permission to do so. I had the mortgager text me; or email me. Conversation they had about: what was the delay in the closing, test results of possible oil contamination (that was not brought to my attention 1st. Then told the mortgager: my house was a piece of **! While telling me, how much he wanted the listing & it was located in such a great area, with one of the biggest lots on the neighbors block) but he knew ~ when the actual (?) closing might happen. I became the last one to know anything.

So, I called karim to tell him of my displeasure in what I had heard & why was personal bias being discussed behind my back with the mortgage company~ & he told me in view of my anger/dismay, I should talk to his head broker, in a conference call with the lawyers, including danielle & the buyer's lawyer's. I agreed. Long story short, the time karim set for the conference call came & went. So I called the office & him. He could "only" get his head broker ~ who apologize all over the place, yet none of my concerns about karim's behavior were really address.

It is now oct 31 & I still don't know when the closing is going to happen. & karim's telephone goes silent. As for my lawyer~ it takes her 2 days to return any phone call message I leave... & I still haven't met this woman. Nor received an apology for discussing my personal home/house business with my mortgager. (Never did I get an apology, nor an explanation of his/karim's behavior). Well the closing was now put on fast track the min the permits were cleared for the buyer to do construction on the house once it closed. Closing was on Dec. 2 2019! The contracts were signed on aug.15th. ~ The closing was suppose 2b somewhere btw: 09/15 & 09/30th.

62 days later my home closed from when I was told. Karim asked me to drop the price by 15k to make the buyer close faster. On top of the fact that after everyone got paid, Karim ~ supposedly forgot to submit his commission bill of 6%, which had to redo the # of what I would be getting after the sale. Then he called & left me a message saying: "How much of a pleasure it was to work with me & sell my home, & if in the future I have any needs, concerns, or looking to buy or sell ~ please call him." Wtf! What balls are on display! Hell the "**" no! (& I had a neighbor 3 doors away who is a broker with Berkshire Hathaway that I should of worked with!). Ugh.~

Mr. Je

5. In the end, all we wanted was our deposits owed but her legal team fought us for years which led us to give up. The moral of the story is: Even if you have a solid case against a Re/max realtor, the Re/max legal team will drag it out for years thereby escalating costs in hopes you too will give up.

Jackie introduced us to a beautiful neighborhood and we found the perfect home after many, many visits. We had a few bumps and bruises along the way but once we talked to Jackie, she eased the pain and stress. We now consider Jackie and her husband our friends. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Jackie ** as your buying and selling agent. She works around the clock to please her clients with honesty and a smile!

Diane & Vic

We feel he was bias in some way toward us out of state buyer? Didn't like her but Colorado code of ethics for realtors 1-6 and 1-7 were not applied during our deal and were treated unfair and buyer had lost out on a better deal. It don't make sense, why? And to boot I made a 1 star review on Google and Yelp stating what happened next day and he called my agent back angry and told her he was suing me for defamation as I lied on review but i didn't. He just didn't want a bad review but he shouldn't treat people the way he did as it's against the code of ethics or it was something else. So here I am telling my story as what happened to me and my agent.

The contract fell through a couple days before closing date! Buyers conveniently used financing clause to back out at the last minute & get their deposit back, a convenient way out for buyer. We, as sellers, never received any information to verify buyer ever applied for financing & follow up per our Board of Realtors contract. It was very apparent that the contract is designed to protect the realtor & buyer, with total disregard for the seller, except for the clause that seller be kept informed, our broker's office did not do that even when we asked them to provide information, per our sales contract, they seemed unaware of that part of the contract! Broker asked where it said that! We had to point it out to her! Barbara didn't seem to know about the clause that required her office to keep seller informed.

We received several offers at once right after the first 1 fell through. We requested more information on the Veteran's offer as we considered the 3 offers. The broker refused to follow through with a disabled Veterans offer that we received, even though we requested to receive more information she refused & told us to move on, that Veteran's financing is not good! Seller is a 26 yr. Veteran, we have many veterans in our family. We are aware of the disability percentage the veteran is qualified for in financing, broker refused to gets this information! We had several more instances where we asked Barbara, the broker/our agent for something & she ignored the request or flatly refused to do it. Once we had a contract with another buyer we did not hear anything from our broker/agent. She did not respond to phone calls, emails or texts.

She did have her secretary continue to give us updates on the sale only when we asked. The broker once again did not keep us informed on buyers financing per the contract. We were again kept in the dark on the progress of the sale. We knew when buyers signed up for their utilities as we scheduled ours to be shut off that it looked good that it would close this time. We heard nothing from the office, Barbara **, the Broker, openly ignored all emails, calls & text questions for weeks! The day of the closing we arrived at the title company, right next door to brokers office, in a connected building. The REMax broker, Barbara **'s car was parked right out front. She did not come to the closing, nor did any agent from ReMax Advantage to represent us at the closing! Very unprofessional in our opinion.

It was very obvious to the closing agent, the other sales agent as well as to the buyers. Not very good advertising for REMax. The house sale closed successfully, buyers & sellers happy with sale. We are not happy with the experience of the REMax Advantage broker and would never recommend her or her office. We have not heard anything from Barbara ** since the contract was signed, no follow up after the closing 1 month ago, nothing. Very unprofessional, we would not recommend this Broker's office.

RE/MAX - left it on us to get the CO from the Township. New Realtor - already applied for CO for us and we don't have a buyer yet. RE/MAX - we had a buyer but our realtor had very poor communication, buying agent could never get in touch with him, buyers got scared because of lack of and miscommunication and backed out of the deal. RE/MAX - I texted our realtor and literally did not get a return acknowledgement for one whole week. There were times that 2 weeks went by without a word from him.

RE/MAX's office staff are curt when you call and don't really seem to know anything that is going on. My opinion is that, like I did, people list with them because of all the advertising they do and claim to be great at selling your house fast. That is not true and you are left to feel like just a number in a school of a million. I would not recommend. The only positive thing that I can say...it is great that they don't hold you to a listing contract because when you want out because they are terrible you can get away from them. Beware if you are thinking of listing your home with the ** Team from RE/MAX 1st Advantage.

Mr ** did not remove any electrical and did not ground the house. Mr ** put in non compliant gas lines, with no protective sheathing, and hid them behind drywall. Mr ** added additional electrical to an already overloaded breaker box, causing fuses to blow and rooms not to have power. Mr ** left defective plumbing behind drywall that backed up, a faulty sump pump that backed up, and there is a property line infringement that Mr ** refused to correct.

It was discovered that Mr **'s contractor, ** did a side job on this house, and was the investor to do the fraudulent renovations. Mr ** did not pay the taxes on this house and the home went into tax sale. Mr ** and his associates are being sued for fraud, as well as extorting tens of thousands of dollars from the buyer, because Mr ** refused to correct the latent defects in the home. Mr ** knew that if someone signed the Title work, it would eliminate Mr ** from being liable. Mr ** wanted a quick, cash sale, without telling anyone of the dangers he fraudulently covered up, or about the property line infringement.

ReMax should be ashamed to have fraudulent agents like this intentionally misleading inspectors, knowing how to pull specific permits, to get around a full inspection. New inspectors came into the home during the investigation and discovered that this “house flipper” did not replace the entire electrical system, did not ground the house, did not replace the plumbing, did not remove any old drywall, and used illegal contractors to cover up the fraud.

No inventory list attached to the Tenancy Agreement and Landlords being charged a monthly “Management Fees” for the Lettings to undergo two monthly Inventory Checks when no Inventory Checks were ever carried out resulting in a deterioration of many landlord’s properties without the landlords ever being advised. There are many more issues with this couple that could be listed. Stephen ** has now set up a business with Purple Bricks in the Glasgow area and continues to advertise about his vast knowledge and professional approach in the property business. TAKE MY ADVICE - Avoid this person at all costs.

However, she stated that she would still list the property as allowing horses. I did not follow through with this offer because I did not want to put someone else in the same situation as myself. A case was opened against Ms. ** with the Georgia Real Estate Commission and she was sanctioned/fined by the Georgia Real Estate Commission. I have attached the public records in regards to this matter. I do not trust these individuals or the company that they work for and would advise you look elsewhere for any real estate needs.

Unsure how long the house set cold, damp and wet. The wall of the wooden house have been partly sanded off and black mold is growing over where it was sanded. There is black mold all over the wood in the cathedral ceiling. I have found mold removal spray and sandpaper left behind by whomever was attempting to clean up and hide the mold issue. Mold is now bleeding back through all the walls. What I get from my agent's office is to send a certified letter of intent to the owners...who may acknowledge it or not. After the sale and fraudulent disclosure it took threatening to report the agents to the Georgia Board of Realtors to get any response from anyone. The response I got from my agent was that the listing agent was out of town due to a family death. Trying to find out who came out to the house in the small town to sand the mold off the walls and do the cleanup.

All the caulking had been removed from around every bathroom and kitchen area. The mold was not noticeable when the house was shown to me. I did get an inspection by a company suggested to me by the Bank I financed through. With the owners not living here or in the state someone else was managing and Covering up this issue with black mold due to dampness and disclosed water and mold issues. I do know the son of the owner came down from New York when the freeze of 2017 happened and the pipes were discovered. Home inspectors do not check for mold. There is a mold inspector on the way out now. The cabin may not be livable.

The buried propane tank age estimate was falsified by the agent/owners. The buyer on the contract withdrew the offer 19 hours after the deadline, based on an accumulation of false information provided, verified by observation and inspection reports. The seller's agent demanded the full deposit of $6,000, plus an additional $14,000 from the buyer. The buyer declined. By taking this action, the seller's agent held up the sellers from relisting the property. The seller's agent formally filed four charges against the buyer's agent, two of which were immediately dismissed. The seller's agent held up the relisting of the seller's property for three months, as a result of her vindictive actions.

I had similar experiences with another Re/Max office. I will not do business with any Re/Max office. Their culture/business model encourages (by experience) bad behavior. More specifically, I will not engage with a Re/Max agent on either side of the transaction, regardless of which side I'm on (seller or buyer). There are enough (and consistent nature of) complaints about Re/Max to support everything in this review. If you see a Re/Max agency involved with your transaction, RUN AWAY as fast as you can.

Tyler told me he was very angry about this arrangement and chose to cut himself out of the building process and speaking to me the past ten months during construction. He was very upset about only receiving 2% instead of the full 3%. I have not heard from Tyler since we signed the agreement last March 2018. When I confronted him on having zero contact with me this last week he argued that he tried to involve himself but I cut him out of the process. Total lie and completely fabricated!

Because he has had no contact with me I asked him to split his commission with me (50/50) so I was only asking for an additional .5% back due to the fact he had not represented me properly in this sale or process. He told me, "Nope - I'm only in this for a big payday at the end so don't expect anything else from me!" I could not believe he even uttered those words! I post this review to warn others about potential fraud working with Tyler **.

In response, I called his Agent, Andrew ** with REMAX Distinctive and to explain what had occurred. Mr. ** told me there is nothing he will do about it. Tyler apparently told his Broker that he tried over and over to reach me and be apart of the process which was completely untrue! Please be very wary of this real estate agent. He has no problems taking your money, signing his name to contracts in hopes for a "big payday" but when it comes time for real work he will leave you dry and stab you in the back! Needless to say, our friendship has been severed!

Apparently it was on the market for a while. She sold it because she did not disclose anything. Maybe that is legal but not ethical. She was bragging that she had sold 20 homes that year. if all you have to do in CA is show the home, without regard for the persons buying it, without ethics to disclose anything, then DO NOT buy from them. The list of things that happened with Remax and Diana ** is too long to list. I looked at another home with them that was in even worse condition and they lied to me constantly. Do not waste your time with them, Please.

I spent two years and tons of money trying to get the house in functioning order. If you want to live in Lakeport know that you cannot go into the lake. It is contaminated. Know that most the workers are on drugs so do not expect good workers at any level. Watch out for scammers. Sterling shores is not a place to live. The management is horrible. Which she could have told me.

The title company is just as horrible. The Manufactured homes sell like cars. You do not need to go through the Title company! Beware. But ReMax and the Title company are tight. Scammers. All you have to do is go through the DHA? In Sacramento who do all the paperwork. Do not pay anyone for title search. It's a scam for Lakeport to make money. Most out of towners come into Lakeport, fix up a home or have one built, realize where they are (Lakeport) and then put the house on the market and leave. I was one of them. Do not be fooled. Get out of Lakeport, Ca.

Wow, someone needs to address her actions with her boss because I can say first hand that her lying to a potential buyer thus costing a sale not only is wrong but causes that buyer heartaches too. I wonder if she even realizes that or even cares? There is NO NEED to lie as she has by not at all making the seller aware of a counter offer but instead just emailing that buyer back with the same terms of the first offer (and saying it was sellers reply which it wasn't because she NEVER even made seller aware of that counter). Heck, that counteroffer was never even presented to seller at all & I have proof of that which is all time stamped & dated but hey, will it make a difference? Probably not. If her boss ever reads this and cares, perhaps he/she might want that proof? I will keep it avail. Time will tell. All I can say is READ the reviews before hiring this company.

Once I uncovered the unethical and unprofessional actions I asked him to remove the listing! He continued to allow people to go to my house and went as far as harassing myself and my family! He even threatened our personal safety! I attempted to still be civil about the situation and reached out to the managing broker William ** who disregarded the situation entirely and never bothered to address my concerns! I had to get authorities and LARA involved! It’s heartbreaking to think that someone you hire to help with your largest asset can be so cruel and evil! I wish I would never encounter this office!

It was only after numerous phone calls and then finally in exasperation at my repeated polite requests to stop that I became VERY extreporous with said agent and was finally able to get them to stop. This time I moved to a new town and rented a new P.O. box and these mailings have been coming to my box in the name of a previous occupant and as before despite repeated calls to said agent request them to stop sending these mailings they are still coming like clockwork. The last two times I called the excuse given for the continued mailings was that it was very difficult to and tricky to understand the program that allows them to cancel my address from their list.

If just canceling an address is SO difficult for a RE/MAX agent what must the complexities of navigating the purchase or sale of a house must be for these people. I can assure you after my last two experiences with RE/MAX agents I DEFINITELY DO NOT recommend using RE/MAX to purchase or sell your home. In fact I doubt you would even want to look at a Property listed by this company even if you are using your own agent. But hey this is just my opinion. You should decide for yourself.

They supposedly fixed the gutters, but one of the gutters has already fallen off, because the bricks they used to hold it in place fell. They refused to replace or fix gas leaks on the water heater or the range. There was an illegal connection on the dryer, which needed to be repaired. When I typed this, July 30, 2018, we had had our gas shut off for 5 DAYS because the gas company was called and saw 3 major leaks (which Mr. ** "conveniently" had gas turned off to the house during the inspection, hence the reason our inspector didn't catch the leaks). We got them repaired on July 31, 2018, ON OUR DIME, because he wouldn't fix them like he should have.

The bathroom tub was "painted" with the special tub paint to make it look white again, but it is already flaking off. A couple of parts were missed altogether. The shower doors were installed backwards and in addition, they were installed so tight, I can barely get them open to take a shower. The fridge doors were installed with right hinged hinges, when they should be left hinged. The stove he gave us was very old and fortunately, we got one donated to us which is in much better shape. The washer/dryer combo he supplied to us doesn't work, so that will need to be replaced. We got a new AC unit, but only because we agreed to "up the price" of the house to cover about half the cost for the AC unit (the original was in really bad shape and it was from 1989).

Then when we complained about things still not being fixed (per a second inspection by the same inspector), they threatened to take away our earnest money and be done with the deal, if we reneged on the contract. As far as I am concerned, the contract was made under "questionable pretenses" by the owner and agent. But we bought anyway and now we are stuck with a fixer-upper that we never intended to buy at my husband's and my age. I am a teacher on a teacher's salary and the only breadwinner because of medical issues with my husband. So, we were stuck buying a house which cost us more than what it is worth because it was all we could afford.

We didn't expect a perfect house, but we did expect to have these very badly needed repairs to be repaired. So, I write this review in hopes of helping other buyers to beware of Mr. ** and also Lisa ** from Remax Advantage. They both work in tandem with each other apparently (from the bit of research I did online). If you work with them, just do your due diligence in researching EVERYTHING before you buy OR make sure you have enough money to buy a really decent house. As Lisa stated directly in an email: "...they are expecting a house completely free of any problems which does not exist especially in this price range." I would never get involved with a "house flipper" for a living contractor ever again.

I found the properties myself without her help. Property #1 she did not tell me that it was $10,000 over the appraisal costing me two weeks while my property sold in 4 days, putting me in big time stress to find another property that I qualify for, while having a closing date on my property to move out!! Property #2 in order to close all she had to do is submit the HOA application which takes 7-10 days to process, this was before I drove from Colorado to Florida in 4 days, when I get there nothing is done. Delaying the closing, to expedite the process down to 2 days she was supposed to pay $200, instead she takes her $200 check back and has me pay for her incompetence.

I’m a recently retired engineer, if I acted like her I would definitely not have a job. She gets paid $6000 for her services, by her actions she owes me. My realtor and mortgage broker can verify everything I’ve said and then some. She should not be able to work with the public, this experience is the worst I’ve had in my entire life and I’m 65. I feel like I’ve aged 5 years in a time in my life where time is so valuable.

They told me to handle it the way they have always handled it which was to wait until the leaking stopped in summer, it dries out on its own and patch/paint over the drywall. I had conversations with both the roofing companies that the condo association consulted with about the faulty roof, and they both verified that the condition of the roof was very bad, leaking, and that the condo association refused their services to fix it (received the report with pictures from one of the companies). With the leaks concealed behind drywall patching, Ms. ** and her seller both verbally and on a legal document said nothing about the faulty roof or that it had been leaking the previous couple years.

I asked the broker for HOA documents and any repair/maintenance records and was told that I was not allowed those documents until I bought the place. I know that this should have been a red flag, but I was a naïve, single woman, first time homebuyer and everyone was so nice to me. They utilized some very clever sales tactics to induce me to buy a very distressed property. I thought that Ms. **, as a professional, would be honest and actually care that I received what I said I wanted in a property. I made it very clear that I did not want and could not live in a water-damaged building.

I did verbally ask about any water issues because of a severe mold sensitivity. I was told no knowledge of any leaks ever during the time the Seller owned it the previous 15 years before my purchase. The HOA, after I had water gushing down the walls immediately after I bought it, said that the leaking had been ongoing after a botched roofing job a couple years prior to me buying it. I reached out to Re/Max broker and the seller. They at first denied any knowledge; then the seller admitted in an e-mail to me that she knew of the roof leaks but the drywall company had "fixed" it. I ended up having to abandon the place less than a year after buying it, and wasn't even able to sell it because of that.

Plus I pulled up adhesive carpeting in the basement that revealed severe foundation damages which caused a potential buyer to cancel his offer when I tried to sell it (adhesive carpet was covering a wide, caulked gash in basement floor from wall to wall). On the RECR I received in 2015, they did indicate that there were some cracks in the walls of the basement but they had been checked and were not a foundation issue. I had a total of five foundation experts check it out and they told a completely different story after a sale was canceled when I tried to sell it. Damages to the foundation were a common element, HOA issue, but they said they would not fix it; and I did not have the $27,000 to repair the building's foundation.

The Real Estate Condition Report I received in 2015, did not say anything about this very wide cracked, caulked basement floor which was concealed by adhesive carpet tiles, just some cracks in the walls (seller left the carpet tile box with a PO dated for timeframe of putting it on the market). I did ask the broker from Re/Max if I could see any documents the seller had about the cracked basement walls being checked and not a foundation issue, but was denied that information.

This was clearly a very distressed property that failed to sell the previous year in 2014, with the faulty roof disclosed, so everything was hid and not disclosed to me in 2015; plus, questions were not answered about the property or intentionally lied about. I lost my first home to foreclosure which Ms. ** sold included losing my 50% downpayment. I lived there for less than a year with water rushing in, mold and a very hostile situation with the HOA in unsuccessfully trying to get them to fix common elements of that building. I ended up homeless after buying a property that Ms. ** from Re/Max sold for her friend/relative.

When I found the metal plates under the kitchen sink indicating it's a trailer... We contacted 2 lawyers which they were scared to fight it. The agent LIED and she knows she did. She was never available to talk after the signing of the house. I mean TRAILER. This company is shady as hell. And wouldn't stand behind the altered contract which of course is VOID. This property has costed thousands of dollars just to move in. It should have been bulldozed down and sold as land only.

He posted an AD on Facebook on his Sister in Law Behalf and mentioned he is legally appointed by her to do so. He also, collected 1st and last month rent from us on her behalf. Where he did not have his name on the Lease agreement. I would never recommend him to anyone unless they want to be mistreated and misinformed by him.

So well within our inspection contingency our attorney canceled our contract and requested our earnest money deposit back. That was close to 2 months ago. The seller/attorney claims we are in breach of contract and states that the Selling Agent Mark ** from Re/max first choice explained to us that we would need a variance for this home to be considered a legal 2 kitchen home. That is a blatant lie, we wouldn't have even looked at the house if we had known it wasn't a legal 2 kitchen home, let alone sign a contract. So the seller/attorney is holding our Earnest Money Deposit hostage thanks to the unethical behavior by Re/max First Choice agent Mark **.

Aaron dead bolted the door to our new house so when we closed and went to our new house we were LOCKED OUT. We called Aaron and he said it was "NOT HIS PROBLEM!" After 2 hours in the 90 degree heat and my sister getting heat stroke we had a locksmith show up. He broke the lock on our house for 200 dollars. We never heard from Aaron again. When you buy a house find a realtor from a friend. Also, in Fl it is as is so if they lie to you it is too bad. We found Aaron on a street driving through neighborhoods and gave him a chance. We suggest you do not do that.

I mentioned I would be seeking her higher managements contact to resolve this, which is when she informed me she is the locations manager. From a renter, and a professional standpoint, the services I've received have been an absolute nightmare. The application also stated wrong fees and lease agreements. On Zillow, it was listed for 12 month, with 1st/last security. On her application she made me pay for, it was listed as 1st security and month-to-month. Her misinformation is due to lack of detail and assuming. I am very unsatisfied with the results of this interaction, and will never use or recommend any RE/MAX location as a realtor service.

We decided to pass on the house, my wife wasn’t a fan of the kitchen and remodeling it right away would have put us over our budget at the listed price. We had a vacation planned that week and went out of town. While on vacation, our realtor contacted us. She had received a call from ** stating that the owners received a contract that they were not happy with and encouraged us to put in an offer at a "stated" amount.

We flew back the next day, walked through the home again and our agent contacted ** to let him know we were submitting a bid without any contingency clause and he assured us that no other bid had come in and it would be fine to get our final financial details in order and submit the bid the following morning. Moreover, he promised that if anything did come in, we would let our realtor know so we could submit our own bid.

Later that evening, our real estate app alerted us that the property was pending. In the handful of hours that had passed since speaking with our agent, ** had received and accepted a bid on behalf of his client and, despite all his assurances, not contacted us for our bid or a counter offer. We were frustrated and disappointed. After all, ** contacted us to put in an offer.

Fast-forward a month, and our app alerts us that the house is back on the market. Apparently, the contract had fallen through because the buyer had not been able to sell their home in time to close. That same day, we submitted a bid at an amount that ** had made known would be acceptable to his client. Our realtor and ** went back and forth over an addendum that seller wanted to add that was acceptable to us and we were left with the impression that we had a deal and the contract was signed by the client.

Later that evening, our realtor received a call from ** informing her that he just arrived at home and another offer for more money and a shorter closing period was waiting for him and he was taking it to his client. At no time did ** give us an opportunity to counter nor did he let us know the client decided to move forward with the other contract. The only way we found out the deal was done was when the status changed in the MRIS.

At this point, we had now been deceived by ** twice on the same property. We were devastated. After monitoring the market for more than a year, this was the house that fit everything we were looking for in a home and nothing has come on the market since that compares with the property. To add insult to injury, the closing cost on the accepted contract was at an amount that we would have met or beat.

While ** may have not done anything illegal, it is clear his moral code exists within a grey area. I have spoken to other agents that are familiar with ** and this seems to be the general impression of the way he operates - he will lie and make promises he never intends to keep. In short, buyer beware. If you are considering a property that lists ** as the seller's agent, you are likely in for a frustrating process. Do not take him at his word and don't think the deal is done until you have a signed contract in your hands.

There was a ratty old cheap chandelier hanging in the open dining area that we wanted switched out with one of our own light fixtures. When we met with the manager and owner of this realty company, with security deposit in hand, she flat out refused. She told us that was where the chandelier goes, and we don't get to change anything. We asked her if she would at least talk to the homeowner, as she is just the realtor, and this seemed to engage her. She stood up and began yelling that the chandelier stays, and if we don't like it, we should leave. She then walked out of the room, leaving my family and I stunned. After a minute to collect ourselves, we went to leave, and she was in the hallway, berating us and making fun of us to one of her employees! I have never been treated this way in my entire life. Do NOT pay this company to rent your property, and definitely do not try to rent from her.

Three months later I was sent a certified letter about an intended walk through of the house by the new owner. When I called Remax, they told me it was sold. Upon further findings I learned that the actually been in a short sale for the last 8 months. I picked the house for many reasons and wasn't planning on moving in a year. The new owner asked me to move and then complained about the condition of the house. It was like that when I rented it and I had pictures. Remax should have not lied to me and I wouldn't have rented it.

"You stated you are off on Mondays which we did not know considering you were texting Josh yesterday and said to us, 'Call anytime you need'. I stated we won't sign until we get paper signed on the fence so you would have to wait till we met the homeowner to get something worked out or something. You are in this for the money, you haven't let the homeowner know everything that is being stated and what you are stating. You are rude and to say I cannot be involved in a house I am signing for blows my mind and I don't believe is right by any means. That is rude."

Carol ** is very rude. Hardly response and seems to be aggravated every time we have spoken. She has lied and tried to cover up her lies.

In addition I gave BEN ** the benefit of the doubt and continued as my window of opportunity was going to close and I needed to get a home inspection done. That is when I found out about faulty appliances as well. No serial numbers, no model numbers. I think if a realtor had any integrity, ethics or scruples in their soul they would opt to either work with the client and or refund the Home inspection fee, which was a hefty $400.00. In conclusion I got a home inspection done on a house that had faulty and or stolen appliances, as it is now I can not get a hold of Ben as he is always busy, or not available. Oh wow that's a shocker.

On May 6, Kris ** emailed "I have seen over 160 homes in the last two weeks". Now I'm feeling guilty because of all the homes she claimed she has looked at on our behalf. Kris ** selected a house and on or around May 7-15 her emails stated; "2 offers on this". "We can beat them". During a contracted time prior to purchase I was inundated with emails, texts and calls and her repeated comments that "we would make at least a $100,000 in 90 days". I explained that I would have very little money left at that price left and "my financial future was in your hands". "Need to lighten this up and go soft modern, since it is wholesale they will make your $2500 earnest money non-refundable", is an example of her approach.

On May 18, Kris ** forwards an email to me that she received from seller's agent; "I believe and I'm sure you agree that your buyer is going to do really well on this property. We price our home knowing that they need some work - we are not making tons of money - we leave plenty of meat on the bone for our investors so they're happy. In the spirit of the transaction we will split that difference of $3000 with you." On May 19, I email her asking why we should be concerned with what the listing agent wants as listing agent is texting her about my intent, whether I'm an agent and whether I am playing games. Further on May 18 Kris ** texted me with the following, her broker allegedly states to her "may buy the property after I am done and if he does add $300,000”,“very lucky man Bruce” ,“I got your back”.

Miss ** told me I would have to pay the sellers commission of $11,000 which I did and then told me I would have to pay a further $25,000 plus to another company that to this day I have not understood. I do not know if they shared that $25,000 plus with Miss ** as I have since been told there is something wrong with paying the sellers commission as the buyer and also a fee to another company that had nothing to do with Re-max Realty that I am aware of.

I was repeatedly told by other realtors that something was not right when I spoke with them a couple of months after buying that house, worth no more than $260,000 at the time of purchase, much less the “wholesale” price ostensibly of $400,000+ I paid, a whopping $150,000 more than it was worth according to the realtors I spoke with (August 2015 when I had finished the remodel). Some agents priced the property in the $300,000’s. None came anywhere near Miss **’s statement to me that the house would sell for $575,000 after listing at $589,000-$599,000.

I have met and spoken with the former owner on many occasions and there "were no other offers," despite Miss **’s repeated statements to the contrary. In fact, the previous owner states he couldn't believe that the property was being sold at all much less for such a large amount as he was facing foreclosure. Miss ** statement, "Roof and AC less than two years." (In fact, AC units are 3 and 5 years old, not two.) After her inspection on the re-model where she remarked “turned out great", she refused to re-list the property and refrained from communicating with me. I finally sold house for $10,000 more than I paid for it after spending upwards of $150,000 over a year later. I entered into Chapter 7 bankruptcy and I am now living on Social Security and my VA benefits.

When I decided to rent/sell my apt I got an agent from Re/Max University Blvd., Coral Springs, that I had used for the last tenant. His name is Larry **. (I call him: Slippery Larry.) I had met him and he "Appeared" to be a nice guy. As it turned out he give me nothing but excuses and stories: I had a problem with a leak left/cause by the last renter, (The **). He said he "Had it all under control". He told me the woman in the apt under mine would not let him and the repair man in to trace the leak (Which she had complained about on two occasions). I did not find out about this problem and he never went to the Oriole office as I had written to him on 4+ occasions. He went in, the first time in the last week of July and told me about the problem, the first time, in late October (About the 20th).

During all of the time between NOTHING was repaired...I never got an estimate of the necessary repairs. I was lucky that, after the end of October I wrote Larry ** and told him what I think, including: Are you stupid or crazy...Since I never got an answer from any of my mails. One time I told him I was, in fact, paying over $550 a month waiting for him to do the repairs, including the elec. He mailed me back: "If your elec. bill is $550 send it to me and I will look into it." I got really annoyed with this and then I got lucky...He got annoyed at me: Call the, "Attack Defense". (I had made the mistake of signing an agreement for one year, by mistake. I though the agreement was from Aug to Dec 2016, I didn't see it was to 2017.) He quit me...The best thing to happen. Then I found another agent who told me how competent she was, Shena **, Plantation. She went in with a repair man.

She took photos and made a list of "Everything to repair" even though I didn't need nor ask her for the work. I only wanted to fix the leak and 1-2 other things if it would help rent/sell the apt. i.e. Seal a few cracks in the ceiling and lay down another flooring in one room. She also told me how, "Good I am at getting what I want with people." She asked me for an advance of $200. My wife went to the bank and found out that it would cost $50 to send $200, with conversion and fees, since I live in Europe. Since I had always (For over 20 years) paid everything (Condo Fees/Taxes/Assessments/Repairs) with a check from a USA bank, which kepted it all listed properly) I sent her a US check for, $500, thinking that would make her happy. At this time I was thankful to have her after 4 months with Mr. **. She wanted the money transferred to her account at, Bank of America, or PayPal.

I look up her address in Google and sent the check to her address. When I told her about the check she got very angry and said, "I am doing all of the work and..." What she was doing was driving to my apt and meeting with a repairman and what "Work" the repairman was to do all the work. The fact that she was not near my apt and had to drive from Plantation was a problem for her, but she didn't say anything, since she wanted my apt to sell and make about $850 or sell it and make about $4,000. She even asked me: "Where did you get my address" as if I did something sneaky. I told her it was from her site in Plantation, FL. No answer. That is the main problem in every case with over 6 different agents, they never write anything in advance to say that they will be away or have a "Personal Problem".

Another smaller problem with a woman named Mariann ** (Not sure exactly, but something like that.) She contact me on a Thursday, said she was out of town and if she could go to my apt on Monday. Late Monday I got a mail: I looked at my agenda and I cannot work on your apt...End. Nice huh: So, please NEVER sign any agreement with an agent for over 90 days. I think that there is so much competition and stress and they usually don't get the full commissions because they often have to split them with 1-2 others.

So, be careful and if you meet with them, always bring a witness and tell them to listen carefully to whatever they say and write everything clearly by email. That is not the end of it. If you think the condo offices and/or the managers and Presidents are there to help you you have another thing coming. They are there for themselves and have a long list of what they "Don't do", but they can always manage to interfere and talk about things you don't ask them to do. Good luck.

He property was inspected by Jody who promptly signed the return of bond paperwork before quickly going on leave on the Thursday. I inspected the property on Friday to be crushed at the state of doors that had been removed and now missing, holes in walls and other doors, frames ripped off mirror sliding wardrobe doors, mould/mildew growing in build in robes that required carpets to be pulled up and replaced, chunks taken out of corners of walls. These are the main points I can think of right now.

I email RE/MAX stating "do not return bond and please send a copy of the exit report". I was replied to by Amanda and Mark ** stating "Jody was on leave now and the bond has already been returned, as we couldn't find the entry inspection report on file we had nothing to compare to". Not sure what we were paying them for if they can't keep the correct records and then basically tell us "tough luck" when the damage was so blatantly obvious.

of these things from happening. Guess what. I wish I could say this for Connie, but it was my worse experience with a real estate agent in Southern Maryland. I urge all who secure her services to be on guard and be extremely cautious.

Finally on the eighth day I found what I wanted. She walked us through everything we needed to do. From the offer, inspection and closing. Throughout these many days she was either right there when I called, or if I had to leave a message, she made sure to always return my calls. She was very professional and just a very nice person to talk with. If we ever need a realtor, after moving to Arizona, in the future it will be Patricia ** that we will contact. Re/Max has found a true gem in this one and I will recommend the Re/Max Agency as well as Patricia to anyone seriously thinking about buying a new home. I only wish she could come to Washington state for when we are willing to sell our home out here.

I do not write very many reviews but I have had such awful experiences with realtors in the past that it was refreshing to finally find someone who honestly cared about putting their client's needs up front and making them feel as special as Pete did for us. Now I can hardly wait to get back down to Arizona so that I can start the process of decorating our new home. :)

We did have issues with the electric bill being really high due to the air condition being outdated and having a hole in the venting which was never replaced and updated. Nicole with the agency is very rude and dishonest. Lied about the walk through and problems. They will not do the walk through with you. They refuse and send the letter in mail to you letting you know. They want to upcharge so they have a reason to keep the deposit. Example the yard work was done by us, the mowing of the lawn and edging, and they want to charge and 340.00 for stating the bushes and trees weren't edged. So that was a lie and besides nothing in the contract states that we have to do anything professionally with the yard. There was a small crack in a plate switch on the wall outlet and they want to charge 90.00. for a 1.00 cover plate. The bottom line is the experience is horrible and they are not to be trusted.

She welcomed me in to take a trip down memory lane. The six of us (my family and me) walked through the house and most of the time we weren't even in the same area at the same time. A few other people eventually came to look at the house also. We are there about 45 minutes and then left. About 15 minutes later the realtor posts on Facebook that she needs to vent (even though she realizes that venting on social media isn't always a good idea). She says when attending an open house, she appreciates that I once lived there, and want to take a trip down memory lane, BUT when there are 8 people in your party and she has actual buyers trying to see the house, politely step aside so they can walk past me.

Well, I WAS an actual buyer. I was seriously thinking about buying the house. She even asked me if I wanted to buy the house and I told her yes. Yet a few minutes later on Facebook she is venting about how people that are not actual buyers need to step out of the way. We were not in anyone's way. We did not even walk through as a party of 6 (or 8 as she says). We split up and walked through the house. She later says on Facebook: "I love talking to the people about how the house and neighborhood has changed. Today's people were just not considerate of the other people trying to see the house."

The six of us were in no way inconsiderate to anyone in the house. I am just shocked that she is saying that on Facebook. I'm shocked that she even thinks we were in anyone's way. She didn't follow us around, so she doesn't know. And the posting was done during the open house. She didn't even wait until the open house was over before getting on Facebook and posting her comments. I will not do business with her or RE/MAX.

Today, my son, at our expense, mowed the lawn, using our gasoline and his time and energy in 95 degree heat. I called the office again and asked we be compensated, stating to Holly the least she could have done yesterday was offered to call the owner and see to it this got taken care of. I would NEVER USE RE/MAX services in a thousand years, since while it was up for sale, the landscaper came regularly. Since they now smell their money's on the way, to hell with the condition/appearance of the property!!!

So short on time we had to move the closing day to August 17. We booked the tickets and went, before I wrote her an email asking if everything was ok. Yes we are ready. On Monday the 15th we had scheduled a meeting expecting a bunch of papers... Well she announced we wouldn't close on the 17th maybe on the 19th the day of our return to Canada. Why apparently a setback at the Municipal office also we had to pay a capital gain tax which we had looked into and normally would not be applicable because the transaction was supposed to go outside the country. She couldn't even tell me how much this tax would be.

We told her that on the 19th by 10 am the funds needed to be there and we would sign the papers over. On Thursday the 18th we received an e-mail stating that we should pay $ 3884.00 at 8 am then sign the papers over and the buyer would then make arrangements to transfer the funds. What first of all how can you pay for a transaction which hasn't even taken place? Also in the contract she made with the buyer, it stated Buyer pays all lawyer and closing cost. We informed her that the buyer has to pay this well needless to say we received another e-mail the buyer would not pay and would revoke the offer.

We looked further into the matter Finding out that the buyer changed the purchase amount that where the tax came from that the Realtor is not licensed hiding and operating under the Remax banner. We were told under normal circumstances that the Realtor would have to pay the amount. Since the contract she made was only in English it really has no legal binding in Ecuador. They have no knowledge whatsoever all they see is the Commission. Buyer/Seller be aware. The transaction was supposed to be happening in Cotacachi Ecuador.

On the day of the sale, I confirmed with my real agent and the buyer's agent to confirm that the buyer has been pre-approved for a mortgage and that everything has checked cleared with a real estate lawyer. ** notified me that she has seen the paperwork and gave me the word that the family would be able to purchase the house unconditionally. I passed on other offers and agreed to sell the home to this family, following the advice of my agent, **.

They left a $30,000 deposit with the agency, and since that time I have spent substantial funds for renovations, cleaning, moving, and everything of the sort. I was looking to purchase a house myself at that time, and ** had informed me originally that she could get that $30,000 deposit and pass it onto me so that I may use it as a deposit to purchase a new house.

At that time I signed an agreement, ** gave me guarantees at the time that the transaction would be smooth easy and trouble-free, as she checked everything out and knew the family. She asked for 5% commission on the sale. As you can tell I trusted her help, she informed me she had been an agent for the past 15 years. However shortly after signing all the papers, I found out she had actually just joined real estate, and that I could not access the deposit that had been placed. Shortly after the sale, she virtually disappeared... not attempting to help me find a new property whatsoever.

Over a month before the closing date, our family had attempted to get a hold of the buyer's agent to confirm that there hasn't been any issues, and to confirm that the finances were all fine. Every day we had to call him and his office, and he finally responded back after some time and confirmed with us that the buyer's family was all ready to move in on the 16th of August, the closing date. Last Thursday on the 11th of August, my lawyer called the buyer's lawyer to make sure everything was in order, and their lawyer informed us that he hasn't heard anything from the buyers and apparently they never had a pre-approved mortgage to begin with.

Our closing date is the 16th of August, and keep in mind that we had essentially already moved out at this time. My agent notified me only a few days before the closing date that now the family would need an appraisal because she made a mistake, and they never actually had a pre-approved mortgage. ** not only handled this situation unprofessionally, but she blatantly lied to my face multiple times in order to make a quick sale. She fed me false information multiple times and took on a very hostile attitude once I began to question her. She also repeatedly gave the wrong times and dates for the appraisal visit on my behalf and my lawyer's behalf. I'm not sure what her motive was there, but at this point it seemed everything was just taking a turn for the worse and my agent was only trying to make my life harder.

At the closing I had the most horrible experience. Unbeknownst to me, the Citizens Title Company added another $300.00 to the closing cost. Even Cheryl **, who oversaw the closing papers with me, did not know what the $300.00 was for. After reaching Joanne ** by phone she said there was more work due to my "Trial". I argued the point. Very unhappy I signed the papers and asked to speak to Ralph ** to discuss my disappointment. He did not address the issue by side stepping it referring to his commission amount which was agreed on in February 2014.

I still complained very lady like. I was then mortified by his behavior. This grown man acted out in front of me and Cheryl **. He stomped out of the room, waving a piece of paper, and I quote "Ok Musette, I am sorry we ever sold your condo for you". Horrible business, frightening presentation and truly an awful experience. To add insult to injury, we find out it was "sold" by a friend of ours who knew how spectacular our condo was not by Ralph's presence. I believe I have made my point. Not a happy ending.

Yes I did park off in the distance so I could observe this tribe when it arrived. Four kids with mommy and daddy, why would you even look at a 3 bedroom home, unless you plan on stacking your darlings in one room like storage boxes?? And lit cigarette butts tossed on parched dry ground because the clan arrived well ahead of the agent, who was not observant at all, and spent a good deal of time playing with the almighty cell phone.

The biggest problem I see with most agents in general but more so with Remax agents they think with their checking accounts, see nothing but dollar signs and truly could care less about anything else along the way. I would think that taking control of your client when on someone else's property would be a top priority, but not for them. I even came home once after a ReMax agent had shown my home to find my bathroom had been used!!! And don't bother calling the agent or agency for an explanation or an apology.

A tight little club, that covers each other backs and sticks together like a merry band of thieves. I banned one ReMax agency from ever setting foot on my property again even if the buyer did have cash hanging out of all pockets. They thought by whining to my agent that they could work around me, but they found out that I STILL OWN THE HOME and have certain rights as well. And what Remax needs to learn is yes home owners do eat dinner between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m. and we will not vacate on 30 minutes notice. Get control of your client, and not the client you as seems to be the case. Because they have a pending preapproval for a mortgage, doesn't mean you pile into a car and run from county to county looking at houses and annoying owners all times of the day and night.

Find out how many rooms are needed, how many young kids, and educate yourself on what you are showing and the surrounding area, not just hand them a print out of the listing sheet, and turn them loose on someone's property, as you are standing there texting or babbling on your cell phone. And sellers lives are just as important as buyers. A buyer has no priority over a seller as far as being busy, on a schedule other commitments etc. Seems that with this company it is always "Me, Me, Me, Now, Now, Now". Never got involved with ReMax and never ever will. Absolutely by far the worst and most arrogant people in the U.S.

Why did she fill out an extension or something. She knew this was going to happen. What other reason why she was at my house? Just to watch them threw me out. If she would have told me I would have been out. Since I told her to get out of my house she uses that as an excuse not to communicate with me. I had to get crappy movers who ripped me off on such short notice, get a storage unit and move into a hotel with my dog and cat.

Why would she tell me this was going to happen. I have asked her a thousand times why she didn't tell me this was going to happen and she won't answer me. Why won't she tell me. It was the worst week of my entire life and I thought she was my friend. She had gotten paid and didn't care what happened to me after that. Her name is Cynthia ** from the Diamond Bar, Ca office.

This was my first home buying experience. This ** Remax agent made it the worst experience of my life. I gave him total 6 weeks of time to fix the things which needs to be repaired before moving to my new home. Every week I called him for the progress and he was like "this thing was done, now we are working on this." But when I visited the property nothing was done, Nobody didn't even go to the property. I gave him another chance and same ** again and then another chance and again same **.

The best thing which I did before giving him last chance was I asked him to write me a check for all the repair cost and put the 2 weeks later date on the check. He only wrote me check for the major repair and he said he will take care of everything and get his check back before time. I again trusted that ** and got only major repair check and guess what, same ** happened.

On the day when the check date was due he called my realtor and asked him for more extension to complete his work. I cashed the check 1 day later than the due day and told him to back off and pay for the rest of the repairs. He argued with my realtor and told him and he is the one who played dirty. My realtor told him not to send anyone on the property to fix anything, He ignored and send some guys to property to fix things up. But I did not let them in. Now that ** do not want to pay for the rest of the repair bills. So, do not trust REMAX agents, DO NOT WORK WITH THEM OR HIRE THEM.

Then I called the other closing company and was informed remax's closing campaign did not send the paper until three hour prior. Twice I was told by one on the last liar and she said they had the money wired to them and it should be in our bank anytime. But the truth was they lied again and no more could be done till morning. How can people like these crooks play with people's life and homes just because they have no sense of fair play. Kim ** should be fired for lying her ** off then booking out on a cruise so not to catch hell. It would a human thing to do is at least give me a call and tell me why you screwed me. But I'm sure if she does call it will be yet another lie from companies to urge their customers. They break laws so they can bypass the legal means to do. If I had the say that company would only be licensed to sell dog houses.

I listed the home ** beginning of March 2016 and agents only conducted 1 open house for one day on a Sunday. They sat here in my home telling myself and my wife that they were not difficult people to work with and they would work with us to cancel anytime we decided not to sell our home. We were lied to and now the Broker is ignoring my call to try to come to a positive solution. RE/MAX office is located in Upland, CA. @ 121 S. Mountain Ave. 91786. 909-949-8744. I have worked with other agents in the past and the service was definitely not this terrible.

I feel stupid. I am a first-time home buyer, and really am worried that the so-called remodeling job is nothing but a cover-up. And the porches while very nice, the paint comes off so easily, like it was a quick cheap cover-up. In general it is not a bad house, but I think I overpaid. Oh and the neighbor - again couldn't tell during the wintertime but it's disgusting, he collects scrap-trash is more like it. So for the last 5 months I have to look at a big ugly dumpster that he never fills, while his yard accumulates rusted old lawn mowers, bikes and appliances. And the grass has only been cut twice so far this summer.

Second, I had issues with the toilet and light bulbs and the guy was very unprofessional. He did not respond to calls/emails on time until weeks after. In addition, when he did show up, he was farting loudly in my apartment with utter disrespect. Third, as I was in my second year of a new lease, the property was put on sale and I was forced to have others enter my home for several weeks for it to be sold, so that these realtors make commission money. I asked him to select a new buyer who is willing to invest with me a tenant since I have bought lots of furniture for the place equal to 7000 dollars. Now, the house got sold, thanks to my furniture and the freedom I gave to the realtor to bring as many people as possible at any time to see the place. I was basically the best tenant a landlord can ask for, really.

Guess what? The house was sold to someone who wants to move in ASAP. I had a lease to protect me till the end of August 2016, but during that time UBC residence is difficult to get into as a student, so I decided that I must move out ASAP. I did move out and was forced to forfeit my furniture since moving them would cost me a lot and the new place I found doesn't even fit them. Therefore, I sold my furniture to the new owner who likes the furniture for 1000 for everything, because the new owner wouldn't accept anything higher.

Fourth, because I was leaving, I brought home cleaners for 150 and a professional carpet cleaner for 100 so I can get my deposit back on time when I leave. I left the unit at the end of May. But guess what? I had some rotten food in only one locker, really small amount that was left by my roommate, not even my stuff, and Seva Roberts decided to charge me 200 for that. Imagine 150 + 100 + 200 just because I want to be a good tenant and a good human being. Today is the 8th of June and I still have not received my deposit which could have been returned to me on the 1st.

Now, if this guy does not return my deposit money before June 15, he is violating the tenancy act and I will sue him, and hopefully make him lose his license, not for revenge, but because I don't want other tenants to deal with this kind of person. These kind of people abuse you the moment they realize you're a good human being, they want to rob you as much as possible. It's disheartening. Anyways, I felt like sharing this so that people are aware of what kind of property manager he is and be aware. Happy summer everyone.

A month later the mold is stronger than ever and We are weaker than ever. My husband never gets sick - NEVER. He is the like a walking antibiotic. He has pneumonia from this house and it's mold. My daughter 9, My younger Son 7 and My 18 yr old Son and myself all are sick with coughing, migraines, shakiness, weakness and fatigue. They do not care of the health and lives of the folks they sell to. They just sell, sell, sell.

I told the man on the phone of my children's illness. His reaction is "you have to prove We knew that." Not "I am so sorry. We need to get this resolved for you. You have to prove that we knew about it." His name is Scot **. He works out of the Roseburg Oregon office. What an unfeeling, terrible person to not care about babies getting sick! "You need to get an attorney Ma'am and prove that we knew that there was mold in the house that is making you and your babies sick." I told him "We do not have any more money. We spent every dime on this house and I do not want to stay here with my children getting sick." "You need an attorney Ma'am. You have to prove that we knew. You have to prove that the inspector that we hired lied to you." I am sickened by the immoral, greedy behavior behind this individual and the company as a whole. How could you sell a house of toxic mold to a family with children?

My agent ensured me during the day of close that a walkthrough was not necessary and I should focus on making my home (being sold) was completely clean, moved out of, and presentable for my buyer's walkthrough. The biggest surprise was finding out that Pat ** entered the home during this 2-day delay, against my explicit instructions not to, and removed items left in the home. The police were called and he was issued a citation for trespassing and illegal entry. My unexpected moving expenses as a result of Pat **'s professional negligence exceeded $1100. The agency's miscalculations of monies needing to close cost me an additional $15,000.

Complaints to the agents and the broker were filed within 15 days of the close with no response. After many emails, calls, and a personal meeting with the broker the agency finally answered 3 months later. Their response? I should "thank the agents for their hard work in making my new home possible." The broker, Tami **, was in possession of pictures of the home and the police report involving her agent at the time this decision was made. I cannot imagine a worse scenario of selling and buying a home and the handling of this transaction was the most unprofessional experience and could be considered criminal. Thanks to Pat **'s actions it actually did involve criminal behavior.

Heather was rude and asked me questions like, "Where will your parents sleep?" Why is that her business? I am divorced and my parents live me, so what. She made comments about her realtors that were rude saying they had no business telling me anything about the owner dropping the price because she is dealing with him not them. She also made a comment that was word for word, "There goes George opening his mouth again when he shouldn't be," when I told her he was giving me a day to think about it. Very rude and unprofessional to speak like that about her employees. I sent Linda and George an email about the place and asked one of them to get back with me about the place because she was rude. Heather called me back and put me on speaker phone and while George and Linda listened denied everything I said about her. She said she wasn't rude and didn't say those things.

Then Heather said the owner had to think about it because he wanted someone in by April 1 not May 1. I asked why I rushed over the check for 50.00 because George knew I needed a place for May 1. Heather said she asked the owner to take 1600. And he said no. I said, "Ok, let's move forward anyway." But because of my "unusual" circumstance of living with my parents. Now it's the move in date is not right for him. I have been misled by RE/MAX and the honesty is not there, either. I don't know why the owner would have turned me down or even had to think about it when I would have been perfect. I am not sure if she even presented to offer to the owner.

They didn't know that both I and my spouse had to be at the closing. So, my husband thinking he was the only one that needed to be at closing because the loan was in his name shows up without me, only to find out through the lawyer that I did in fact need to be there to sign some documents in regards to the title. Something our realtor should have known and conveyed prior to our closing date. My husband had to finish signing the documents and then drive back to our rental to get me (our child's car seat was in the vehicle he drove to closing), to drive all the way back to lawyer's office so I could sign the documents. Our child was sick, it with being such short notice I didn't have time to find a sitter to be with them. Our poor child was hacking the entire time we were at the office. Jennifer ** did offer to pick my child and I up, which I declined seeing as I didn't trust her.

The icing on the cake was when we first met, we specifically told her and subsequently her husband that we didn't want a home that was in a HOA &/or deed restricted neighborhood, as we wanted to have a couple of chickens for a pet/eggs. They specifically told us that our new home wouldn't be. The day we met her husband to look at homes, that was first question I asked at each property. Again, he reassured us that they weren't.

So, we found a house that we liked and decided to purchase it (under the impression that there wouldn't be any restrictions), but come to find out at the closing our new home is in fact in a deed restricted neighborhood. My husband informed me of this while we were driving back to the lawyer's office. Needless to say I wasn't too happy, but the lawyer said that owning a couple of chickens shouldn't be an issue and what can they really do anyways. Yet rule number 6 on the deed restricted clearly states no poultry or livestock is allowed by the homeowner.

Also, our realtor Jennifer ** didn't even have the face to be there when I signed the paperwork at the lawyer's office. She simply texted my husband saying "sorry". We wouldn't have even made an offer on the home if we would have known this information. The downpayment/closing costs was all done via wire transfer prior to closing, so we felt like we couldn't have backed out of the sale even if we wanted to.

We love the home and are making the best out of the situation and are elated that we will no longer have to deal with the incompetence by both Jennifer ** and her husband. But we were cheated and mislead into a situation that we would've backed out of if we knew the circumstances surrounding it. It's evident that Jennifer ** and co. were only looking for a commission and they didn't care if they had to lie to get that commission. They didn't earn a single penny of it and I hope they receive at least a reprimand for their actions.

We asked for copies of the permit and found out there were no permits and the owner refused to get permits. We opted out of the contract and let the agent know that they need to sell the house "AS IS" and disclose on all future MLS listings that the house needs to disclose that it has "one unpermitted bedroom, one unpermitted bath and an unpermitted finished basement" as stated by U.S. Law. The agent went ahead and re-listed the house without any disclosures. Very unprofessional and negligent.

I changed the roof, all the plumbing, all electrical, driveway, windows. The garage needs to be demolished and build a new one to be built. The kitchen however is another story. It is the same kitchen since 1955 with a couple of cabinets. I can't remodel that kitchen because over the years the floor of the kitchen has settled and it needs to be leveled which is complicated and it might work, it might not. I did hire an inspection company that this agent referred me to and gave me the phone number but just like the loan shop he referred me to it too -- went out of business.

Also the house was a rented house when I bought it. The owner in the disclosure sheet put a line diagonally on the sheet and left it blank saying that he does not know if anything wrong with house because he does not live in it even though he was the owner. This was strange to me but this agent advised me that it is the law. This did not make sense to me . Also he said that the seller will pay that winter taxes but I ended up paying them and when I called him about what he told me, he denied.

I did file a complaint with the Real Estate Licensing Department against this agent but they responded to me that the paperwork looks correct. I have the option of hiring a counselor so this is an option that I have and I am looking at this option now. One doesn't simply file a complaint with an official state licensing department unless there is a cause, and I do have a cause. The kitchen floor in my kitchen is still the same as I bought it and I have all the papers about the owner refusal to disclose the condition of the house because it was a rental house. The Department of Licensing said all the paperwork is correct of course so now he is using the dismissal of that case against me.

I hire professional Appraiser, home Inspector, Termite inspector. The house has Termite lots, all the windows are broken, lots of lists need to fix. He is telling we can not fix anything so I have to pay another $20000 to fix everything. He know that I like the house and location so used me. Please do not trust Chris ** or his team. The house that cost $175000 he sold on me $205000 without fixing anything. The house was not in action or short sale or anything had original owner. On the time of closing he went in vacation I had to manage Inspection on everything. Chris ** just love to collect money. Chris ** never listen, never care about any one never respond your call and never there when you need it. I had to spend so much money. I do not want to happen to you the same thing. Please hire your agent who can be trusted.

According to contract, the commission is due to my broker within the month. The lease was signed end of August, family move in Sept. 1, 2015. As of today, the RE/MAX agent has refused to send the commission to my Broker. I have sent several emails, also an email to the managing broker, but no respond. This RE/MAX office is in Columbia, Maryland, agent Chris. Agents, be aware of this agent and this office.

His Broker, John ** refused to return my calls or respond to my emails whatsoever, and flat out refused to assist me with the numerous problems I encountered with his agent, Gaeton **. ** let wrong info in the contract & overtly and flat out lied about not knowing the agreed closing date. Mr. ** imo violated his legal duties and ethical standards, in his dealing with me. Mr. ** has 5 complaints against him with DBPR. ** failed to inform buyer of impt deadline which put me in the position where I had a proverbial gun to my head to sell to this buyer because of **'s negligent/intentional failure to communicate full offer with time sensitive acceptance. IMO John ** is totally unprofessional & incompetent. He is a liar and has imo screwed me over in this transaction. IMHO he sucks!!! Stay far away from these people. They IMO should not be licensed real estate agent and brokers.

Then a lady in his office calls and wants me to sign more papers giving even more money away. Steve had used the incorrect tax amount (and he knew it based on a discussion we had earlier). I now owed $891 more dollars a closing, her closing costs, and the condo fees. AND he took commission off the higher amount, leaving me with a $5000 gap where I lost money in the sale and had to pay him commission too. I admittedly yelled at his office lady and told her I was not signing the papers today. She called Steve and told him I was walking away. Steve then emailed me the rudest email ever. "Are you not working for me??" Obviously not. This back and forth went for a while and I finally signed just to get out of the situation. I had already moved out, what else could I do but back out of the deal. I thought it could be discussed, my mistake. Then he agreed to pay me the $891 and backed out of that because he was mad about my replies to him via email.

I questions the Ethics, the Integrity, and the Principles of this company. His bosses got involved and I still got nowhere. They are peas in a pod. RE/MAX is dead to me. This was the RE/MAX 100 office in Hales Corners, WI. Office manager is Fritz **. Vice President of Operations was Kathy Martello. They only listened to Steve and never offered to discuss this with me except via email. A poor way to deal with customers and business in general.

When going to unit I met up with the owner of unit and requested a key. This was on the 7th of Oct. When I went into unit the cabinets were not finished, stove in the middle of kitchen not hookup, the tile was lifting and the backyard full of weeds. It was at that point that I decided I did not want the unit since the realtor did not abide by the agreement. When I asked if I could just leave and get reimbursed for the unit, the realtor told me If I left I would still be liable for the unit since I signed the lease for a year. I did let realtor know that that was not right since all was not complete. Realtor told me he would give me back money for the days unit was not complete. I told him, "No I just wanted out of the agreement." Realtor has been difficult and unprofessional. I have lost sleep, money, days of work due to all of this ordeal. Realtor claims he is looking for a tenant to rent the unit. Until then I am stuck.

The Friday before our Monday closing, Neelam emails the group and says she the seller's survey from 2008. She never provided her client's attorney with the survey even though she had it the entire time. Our attorney requested a previous survey if available from the sellers' attorney after attorney review and never got one because Neelam held onto it with telling anyone. Because of that we had to pay for a new survey ($650) which was completely unnecessary according to our attorney. When she realized she screwed up, she lied to our realtor and said she never had the survey.

Neelam is rude and completely unprofessional. She had her sister call our realtor to discuss business because she was busy, and she had an attitude as well. I don't know if her sister works for Remax or is even a realtor, why she would bring her family into a business deal is beyond me. After all that, she demanded that our realtor drop off her lawn sign to her office. Not sure why it was still in our front yard after closing.

After this happening numerous times, we demanded written 24 hour notice of all showings. Saturday September 5th with a written notice, the agent from Will Estate, namely Will ** was supposed to show up between 9 and 11 a.m., taking 2 hours of my day more than enough for a showing. He did not show up, did not call. Based on this we are not allowing any more showings of our home. DO NOT HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH WILL ** OR HIS MOTHER MARIA EUGENIA **. THEY ARE LIARS.

Finally my realtor receives an email from her stating she still had to meet with the sellers in person to discuss the offer and that she "forgot" to mention the initial HOA fee of a thousand dollars. As if that would make us remove our offer. She should've advertised that or disclosed that immediately. An hour later she tells us there was another offer made. She heard it was a conventional loan. 7 pm that night she tells us the sellers took the lower offer and not our higher USDA offer. She's a liar and scam artist! I'm hurt and I am definitely spreading the word!

We met the next day at the property and he brought a prepared Re/Max contract. We discussed price and financing terms - my offer was almost full price and all cash. Mr. ** never asked when I wanted to close on the property and the possession date was never discussed. When I asked about closing, as I was not familiar with the norm for closing periods in Detroit, Mr. ** was vague in his response. While I attempted to read through the additional conditions on the third page of the contract, Mr. ** stated that we really needed to hurry as we should have been out of that house 15 minutes ago so that the owners could return home. So, I signed the contract, was not given a copy, and we quickly left the home. My offer was quickly accepted without any counter offer.

Shortly thereafter, I left MI and returned to my home. I eventually received a copy of the accepted offer via email, and in reviewing the contract over the phone with Mr. ** on several occasions, I questioned closing and possession dates as they were not stated in the contract. He stated that different clauses in the contract contradicted one another regarding any specific dates, and that we would have to go by the contract which based the closing date on the additional conditions written into the contract. In my attempt to understand these conditions, I realized that they had been put in the contract, most likely by the sellers via their agent, prior to my being presented with the purchase contract. I was not given the opportunity to write in my preference for closing and possession dates. I accept the fact that I should have slowed the process down and ask for a review of the contract by a lawyer.

However, I also hold Mr. ** and the Re/Max contract at fault in making what should have been a simple and easy process, a nightmare. As it stands, I have been verbally given a reasonable closing date, however possession is 30 days thereafter with no payment of rents by the sellers during that period. In retrospect, this became non-negotiable. Mr. ** has failed to provide an addendum to the contract stating these dates, which legally I believe may not be enforceable. That fact could jeopardize the extensive planning and coordination required for an inter-state move as well as the sale of my current home. I have buyers for my current home and they expect to gain possession of it on a specific date. I have purchased 10+ properties during my lifetime and have never had to hire a lawyer. Painful lesson learned about Re/Max and their agents. Beware!

The realtor was satisfied that my mom ousted me loudly on the phone in front of him. Then the broker owner lies about my brother being witness and agreement to the low offer on the home. My mother told me that my brother was merely dropping off the grandkids and shook the realtors hand. My brother is not involved. I will place a complaint against the realtor and the broker owner of Re/max Center city in London Ontario Canada. And my privacy was used against me in the email they splattered in my mother's face. They know what they did and are doing. You will never have a Re/max broker owner who is also the president of the local real estate board and his agent admit to their actions. Good thing I have a response email by the broker as proof.

Background: My partner and I began working with Robert after he contacted us from a house we said we were interested in. I was leery to begin working with an agent who contacted me, but after talking with him for a short time, explaining what we were looking for and where, I began to feel at ease. Robert mainly handles homes in West County, however, we ended up deciding to settle in the O'Fallon/Weldon Spring area in St. Charles and Robert took out the extra time and research to help us find a home out here, and in the school area we wanted. Robert was great! He was helpful. And most of all, he truly cared to help us find our first home that met all our needs and most of our wants. Let's be real, you can't have it ALL.

When we got the keys to our new home Robert surprised us each with a gift that was extremely thoughtful and would help us get through the next couple weeks ahead (if you know what I mean). On our one year anniversary of being in our home, Robert surprised us with another gift to celebrate 1 Year. And on our two year anniversary he sent a card to congratulate us on our 2 years and wish us a wonderful 3rd. We will never forget Robert and all he has done for us. If you are looking for an agent who cares, who is kind, and will take out the time to help find you what YOU want, Robert is your guy!

I do not believe she was acting in the best for her clients and only made this decision on her own. And I also feel she breached her duty as a real estate agent by acting on her own interests instead of the owner. I thought I would have at least been given the chance and any owner would love a bidding war instead of settling for the next best. Can I contact that owner to verify this? Her name is Patricia ** of Re/Max of Stuart, the most unprofessional person I have ever met and the way she spoke to me was so unprofessional like I was bothering her. Also never returned calls and sent numerous messages as well. She held out for another offer.

To our shock, the buyers backed out because since they lost 35,000.00 on their home, they were in hopes ours would come in 30,000.00 under the offer we accepted! I firmly believe the agent misrepresented his clients by not doing his comps correctly of the buyers home by missing it by 35,000.00 which led to him and his buyers to be in hopes of believing ours would come in way under. The first buyers should really be upset since the home they thought was theirs is now off the market. After offer was accepted, I had to fly to the other state and find a home. We are in escrow in another state and now we are in process of losing that home if we don't get a buyer quickly. It has taken almost a year to get decent offer and it was not easy finding a home in another state because the area we are moving to, the homes sell quickly!

She also sent me the most horrible email. I am confident when I say that this experience should be reported and customers should be protected against such acts. ** made a commission of above 15000 dollars and she did nothing. And then, she gave me the most horrible attitude. She obviously felt safe doing it and getting away with it. RE/MAX should put a programme in place to protect clients. Now, the name RE/MAX is blacklisted to me. I will never use this company again or any of its agents.

Being a first time home buyer made it much more difficult for me. I was left with lots of questions and terms that I have no clue what they meant. Also entered in many problems due to not knowing what stuff I should be looking for. All could have been avoided if I was given a list of stuff I should look for. This was an experience from hell. I for sure would want people to be protected from such agents and acts. Very disappointed. I know of people that got presents from their agents after they closed deals. My present was a horrible trauma caused by this person, that I had to contact my lawyer to consult his legal advise on the situation. Very disappointed in RE/MAX AND in **.
