Coldwell Banker Real Estate unit rental

Property rented July10th to July 14th 2017. 1/ Front door glass falling out. 2/ Place was disgusting and filthy upon entering. Flies and mosquitos everywhere. 3/ Floor was filthy with dirt, alcohol, and soda. Each step taken your feet literally stuck to the floor. 4/ Awning was broken and torn. Could not be used. 5/ Umbrella was broken and torn. Could not be uses. 6/ Gas grill was that filthy from previous users that it could not be used. 7/ Both sliding doors in living room didn't fully close. Hard to open and close. 8/ Two holes in walls had to be repaired. One upstairs and one downstairs. 9/ Boards on boardwalk were so loose when you walked on them you had to be careful not to fall in the water. 10/ Knobs missing or pulled off door to washer and dryer. 11/ Shower head in downstairs bathroom fell off and hit my granddaughter on the head. Had to fix this myself to be able to continue using. 12/ Sliding door upstairs fell off. Had to be reinstalled by contractors. 13/ Air conditioning not working. Putting out hot air. Had to rent a place overnight in Bethany for 8 people due to heat reaching 85 to 90 degrees inside. Out of pocket expense for thia. Was told by Leigh there was a 24 hour time period for fixing this problem. Ironically it was 25 1/2 hours after reporting and nothing was done at that time. 14/ Another Coldwell Banker representative came to check on issues and was given a list of problems with the unit. Was told he would make a copy of it and get back to us in and hour or two. Never had the decency to call or stop back. 15/ Man who checked oven malfunction told us that it needed a new electrical board to fix problem, but could not get one until the next day. Again, never heard another word from him. 16/ Neighbors next door informed us that approximately 20 young males were at the property at one time, drinking until 4 a.m. 17/ Found marijuana inside property and one upstairs bedroom reeked of marijuana odor. 18/ Since oven did not work, we had to throw out at least $50.00 of thawed food which we were planning to make. Therefore we had to eat out every evening. Another additional expense. 19/ Two contractors and the cleaning lady were completely disgusted at the condition of the property. One contractor told us this was the worst unit he ever had to deal with. 20/ As for Coldwell Banker representatives Dana and Leigh, In my opinion were very unprofessional. They both asked for pictures which were sent to them, and never acknowledged they were received. Each person we contacted at the rental office just passed the buck saying they weren't informed of this or that. No excuse for this whatsoever.@1/ Was informed by Leigh that Coldwell Banker was not responsible for our ruined vacation. After all the calls and texts to them and nothing being done, then who was responsible? 22/ If after receiving this, you have any questions about the truthfulness of this report, please contact the cleaning lady and contractors who were there during the week. 23/ In closing I just want to say it was definitely not a good vacation for my children and grandchildren to remember. After renting vacation rentals from Coldwell Banker for 10-15 years in Ocean City Maryland I probably will not, I'll say again. I will probably not rent from them again, and would not recommend them to any of my family or friends. If this is received I would at least like to be informed that it was received and what can be done about a full or partial refund. Thank you. Larry Leland

Coldwell Banker Real Estate dealings with an agent

Luke & Kriscinda Davis
1630 Syrup Mill Rd,
Blythewood SC 29016
June 21, 2017

Coldwell Banker
7464 Woodrow St,
Irmo, SC 29063,

To Whom it may concern:
I writing tonight because of unfortunate dealings that we have had with one of you agents, Craig Campbell of Irom SC www.coldwellbanker.com/agents/craig-campbell-29063
Mr Campbell had submitted an offer on behalf of his clients, no documents had been signed and we were in conversation with them while waiting to hear from their lender, USAA. During this time a full price offer came in, with a close date that better accommodated our family. Not to mention we were thrilled with a full price offer. We asked our agent, Sheron Pace, to follow up with Mr Campbell and to please let them know we had received a full price offer. Mr Campbell relayed that he was hurt by these actions, we could completely understand his disappointment. He then accused my agent of being unethical us of being prejudice against our military. Let it be on record that upon telling Mr. Campbell we had received full price offer, our agent acted upon our direction. Also while it is my hopes Mr. Campbell had a bad day, he unleashed on my agent and said accusations that are unjust and untrue of us and of her. We love our military and many of our dear friends serve, my husband is also a contractor who supports the Navy. After our conversation with Sheron, Luke & I ultimately decided not to allow a counter offer because we would not give our business or work with a person who conducted their selves in the way that he portrayed this evening. For the clients we are sorry. As an agent representing both Coldwell and USAA he was less than proffesional.
The reason for this letter is to exonerate the accusations that have been made against our agent. The home buying and selling process deeply personal and we must choose to business with agents who will treat us and our agent with courteous and respect.
With Regards
Kriscinda & Luke Davis

Coldwell Banker Real Estate unethical behavior

I had called Mickey Milijevic about the townhouse at 7920 W Lawrence Avenue #A
Norridge, IL 60706. I had told him that I have a Section 8 voucher and his response was "oh, let me see if the owner wants to accept that." As a broker, he should know that Cook County laws said that Section 8 voucher holders has the right to apply and then the owner has the right to decide to take it or not. Realtors and owners are not supposed to discourage Section 8 voucher holders for applying because I had texted him back to set up an appointment and told him I would like to see the house and apply for it. I didn't no response. This behavior is very unprofessional and discriminating. Realtors should have classes on how to interact with Section 8 voucher holders.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate unpaid commission for two april 2017 real estate transactions.

Attention Sir or Madame,

I have reached out, in writing, on numerous occasions to coordinate with management/bics of CB Sea Coast WIlmington, NC to close out two residential closings/files and receive payment.

The two closings in question were long and drawn out transactions that were uc during my January departure from the firm and of course, by our contract I was required to leave them and pay them a split. One a short sale and one a new construction. Due to the length of time for the transactions and my no longer being affiliated with the firm, I no longer had access to their internal programs such as dotloop, their branded zipforms etc. and information such as home inspector, closing agent etc was undetermined at the time of my departure so I was unable to complete their files to their satisfaction for payment.

After MULTIPLE offers and attempts to coordinate closing the files to their satisfaction I am now no longer receiving ANY form of response from them. I've offered to complete the forms through my remax zip forms, work with an agent or manager at the firm, provided the client's information etc etc.

I would like BOTH files closed and funded by end of business and end of the month tomorrow.

Today, at my attorney's advice, I will be filing a complaint with the following: NCAR, Chamber of Commerce, Employment Security Commission, and the Better Business Bureau.

If you have suggestions on how better to handle this, I welcome all assistance in the matter.

Thank you,
McKenzie Johnson

Coldwell Banker Real Estate realtor

AWFUL nasty woman showed up at my apartment while my 18 yo son was babysitting while I was at the gym and tells him she has an appt to show my apt. WRONG. My children leave the apt and call me. When i called this woman who was in my apt without my.consent she told me to tell my husband to check his cellphone! First this is not 1955 honey I am talking to you..Second, neither my husband nor i ever received much less assented to this "appointment"

She should have apologized but instead GAVE ME an attitude. I feel violated. How horrible! She should clearly know better. And to lie to my child to gain entry?! Unconscionable. I will be filing a professional complaint as well.

Coldwell, teach your agent the meaning of APPOINTMENT.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate real estate agent

My ex wife wanted Sherri to list our house for sale. I was ok with this. I saw no harm with Sherri. As we got further into the open houses, etc, I noticed Sherri was updating my ex wife (Andrea) without keeping me in the loop. This went on for months, Sherri would reach to me when it meant the grass needing to be cut, work to be completed, etc.

Fast forward to the agreement of sale. We signed the agreement to include the washer, dryer and refrigerator.

last weekend, 8/20/2016, I showed up to the house to take a few items from the house. My wife has demanded throughout the divorce process that I not take anything from the residence. I went there to take the upgraded, low voltage cleaner. I was assaulted by Andrea and I threw the cleaner and it broke. Cops were called and it was not a good situation. Sherri then texts me about 3 hours later and says the cleaner and pool furniture are included. I told her it was absolutely not and reminded her that I asked her to ask the buyers if they would want to purchase it since I am not giving it to them about 3 weeks prior. I asked her to show me where it was given to the buyers in writing and where I agreed to it? She said it was a verbal agreement to give it to them since the buyers did not ask for any items on their home inspection. I then reminded Sherri that I was clear that I put about a 1/2 million dollars into the house and I was not going to agree to any items found on the home inspection and I would only address township items. She kept changing her story. I told her that Saturday afternoon that she needs to call the buyers agent and get it figured out since settlement was on Monday. Also, on the township inspection we had to replace the concrete at the driveway (apron) and some curb replacement. Sherri, Andrea and I all called 3 different companies and not one showed up so I got it cleared by the divorce attorneys and Sherri that I will pull guys together and do it myself but my company is billing it and I expect a check at the settlement table from the proceeds of the house. I completed the concrete work, submitted the bill and Sherri mentioned she thought it was high. The bill was $3675. Sherri thought it should be around $[protected]. I told her 8 years ago I had a price to do partial apron and did not include the curb work and that was $2400. Sherri submitted it. All items were agreed upon and all parties, attorneys, both agents and the title company all were emailed to confirm all transactions prior to settlement.

Monday morning I show up to the settlement table. Andrea and her mother walk in, 5 minutes later Sherri walks in with a Starbucks coffee for Andrea (I am just pointing this out so you can understand how it all makes me feel). Settlement gets started and within 5 minutes Sherri has to pull Andrea and I out to the hallway and ask how we are dealing with the cleaner and who is paying for it? I was clear that I am not paying and if we have to pay, it should come off the proceeds of the house and the divorce attorneys can deal with it. Andrea wanted the cleaner money to come out of the concrete invoice I submitted, I refused and said I will not have that. Sherri was clear that if we did not sign for settlement today, the buyers could sue us. Andrea and I went back and forth about what each of us has paid towards the house and Andrea mentions she had to pay someone to help her move. Well, I told her it is not my problem, She would not allow me in the house. Sherri turns to me and says, see, she did not submit a bill for moving. I said to Sherri that if she wanted that, she has to take that to her attorney. I walked away and went back to the settlement table. Several minutes later, Sherri and Andrea come back in and Andrea mentions to Sherri that " it will be over in a few". I ask Sherri did something change? Sherri said yes, Andrea is submitting the bill for moving to be paid at settlement. I told Sherri that I did not agree and SHerri needs to have that cleared by the attorneys and I would not sign off on that. Sherri told me again that I can be sued if I did not go to settlement. I emailed my attorney. My attorney called and left a message at the title company and emailed me back saying she is trying to get ahold of anyone and asked for a number to call. I told Sherri this and sherri left the room. I assumed Sherri was going to get the message pulled and call my attorney. Sherri comes back about 15 minutes later and and puts paperwork (HUD breakdown, I think that is what she called it) in front of me. I see there is the payment for $2500 for moving that I did not agree to. I asked Sherri if she talked to my attorney, she said Dave, the attorneys do not need to be involved and we have to submit bill last minute all the time. I told her we are in the middle of a nasty divorce and we need to have all items reviewed by attorneys and the paperwork was finalized last week. This should not even be a consideration. I then received another email from my attorney that had Sherri copied on it that was extremely clear that Andrea was to not get any money for moving, it was NOT agreed upon and it will have to be dealt with after the fact. I also told Sherri to check her phone that it is very clear, coming from my attorney. She ignored numerous attempts to get it rectified and ignored my attorney. I also requested Andrea's mother be removed from the room cause she started making comments about the moving bill also and she should not be in the room at my settlement. I was so angry that I was not being heard, represented and felt trapped. I signed the paperwork and almost walked out of the building without my check.

So, about an hour later, I text Sherri and call the title company and tell both of them I am disgusted in how this went down and I was Misrepresented. I was taken advantage of and forced to sign by being threatened by Sherri about being sued by the buyers. I reached to Sherri's boss, Tony DeCicci. He was not in the office till Thursday. So, I they told me to call another broker/GM from another branch and he confirmed that my attorney should have been contacted and not ignored.

Then my attorney finally talked to Sherri and Sherri twisted the story so much that I had to call the buyers agent. My attorney said it was her word against mine. Sherri said I was in agreement and it was the right thing to do to pay Andrea. I called Sharon Goodspeed, the buyers agent and she confirmed several items. I was NOT agreeing to the bill on the settlement, except since Sharon was not in the loop, Sharon thought I was objecting to the concrete bill and had no clue they were pushing a moving bill onto the settlement. Sharon even said all the paperwork came over from the attorneys the Friday prior . Sharon also said she knew NOTHING about the cleaner till the day of settlement. It was not on the paperwork. Sharon said I was also in the right to ask Andrea's mother to leave the room, Sharon heard the comments and said it was not right to have that in the room. Sharon also confirmed that she would have NEVER gotten in the middle of the civil part of the divorce and would have told Andrea to take the bill to her attorney, not accept the bill, print it out and push it through to the settlement and also ignore several attempts to rectify the situation with my attorney. Sharon also confirmed that she heard me ask Sherri to check her email for the email from my attorney.

I also noticed that the moving bill (an email that was printed out by Sherri at the settlement location)was made up and notarized by a person at Andrea's mothers work. It is clear that on the bill that the same person signed both signatures and notarized it. Her name is Elaine Ornsby, a notary public. I guess I have to file a complaint against her also.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate fake inspection report, il scam selling defective

I was the victim of major real estate fraud in 2006 involving a former construction contractor and inspector then a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker in a real estate transaction that took place under duress and upon taking possession, was clearly a scary problem with what developed as known material defects in the property that had not been disclosed by the sellers, who had the option to sell the property as is and chose to not disclose the material defects instead.

Over the following few years of being retaliated against when I tried to seek to sue the seller's or inspectors for financial assistance with mandatory structural repairs, after being refused assistance with reverting the sale back to the seller's or selling it at a minimum loss as is at the time in 2006, I learned that there is an entire industry in Lake County IL, heavily concentrated in the remaining recreational cottages from the 1930s converted to residential housing use but with construction that did not have to meet residential housing building codes even as they were in the 1930s.

Many of them are on pier foundations that are not common in Illinois and used largely for lighthouses and with mandatory disclosures that they are built on pier foundations, that require periodic jacking up to keep them level which has to be done before the shift is larger than an inch or two or gross structural damage can occur, because of that kind of major material structural and maintenance difference from the more common standard cement foundations.

The spacing of joists and beams is also much wider than in residential housing, which produces major structual problems over relatively short periods of time as well.

Their insulation was cellulose, which by now is generally dust in the walls.

Original wiring is cloth wrapped, if that, which is not disclosed because the seller's and area real estate agents and attorneys are not required to disclose the actual structural nature of the housing.

The roof developed catastrophic leaks that included the ceiling in the kitchen caving in a few weeks later, and the local area in Lake County IL, Round Lake Beach being the immediate local jurisdiction, has been disclosed to have so many area constituents victimized with ownership of such low value housing that the local jurisdiction can and should be accused to complicity in victimizing people from outside their little area including parts of Hainesville, Round Lake, and Round Lake Park, that are densely populated with those cottages.

One of the roofing estimates was by a contractor who also told me to get rid of the house and move, because he could see gross structural trouble from the street out in front.

And stated it was clear to anybody qualified from the distance of the street, which later investigation verified.

The frightening part is that the Coldwell Banker agent had a home inspector from Grayslake IL, a Inspect Tech Inc, who produced a report that the entire sale and mortgage were based on that claimed there were no such defects in the property.

When I attempted to pursue Inspect Tech Inc. when I was harassed so badly about selling or reverting the house, I learned something even more frightening about the area scam and the political support for victimizing strangers with the scam with those cottages.

In addition to finding that area inspectors like Inspect Tech will and did certify them for a mortgage and for the sale as free of any structural, roofing, plumbing, electrical, or other defects.

That is that victims can do nothing about that either.

When I took Inspect Tech to the Illinois Better Business Bureau, he stated that he had actually not inspected "due to clutter".

Which if disclosed for the sale or the mortgage is sufficient for both parties to refuse both.

The mortgage company stated they do not fund mortgages without full actual housing inspections, but that it was too late for them to go after Inspect Tech in a problem that may have changed since the real estate market collapsed within another year or two.

He offered to perform the extensive repairs to the property for a nondiscounted fee.

Whatever you get told about real estate law and protections, they don't exist in practice in Illinois.

The BBB in Illinois stated that Inspect Tech offering to make extensive repairs for tens of thousands of dollars after entrapping the victims with a falsified inspection report claiming none of those defects existed, was an "adequate response".

Coldwell Banker Real Estate agents in need of a professional development course

In my Attempt to reach out to a Coldwell Banker agent in the Dedham office to obtain assistance with an inquiry I had regarding a specific rental listing. Immediately upon connecting with an agent named Joanne DiSangro, her tone on the phone was very aggressive. Her unpleasant tone was ignored and I simply moved forward with my inquiry regarding the rental listing. She constantly cut me off during our discussion, and when I inquired on the process of who holds the responsibility of paying for the brokerage services (Seller or Renter), she simply responded “Well that none of your business!" Well it was in fact my business if I am an interested renter, and if I am in fact responsible for paying this fee then I do deserve an explanation. If she represents the majority of Coldwell Banker affiliates and associate with in that office, then I feel there is a professional development training that would be needed. Since I am almost certain that she does not represent the majority, I truly feel that she should consider finding an alternative line of work.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate misrepresentation of lease agreement and fiduciary misconduct

A lease was negotiated in 2009 for retail shop space. The lease was reviewed by the tenant, negotiated and the tenant had a law firm review the lease prior to signature. Coldwell Banker represented the landlord in the negotiations and serves as the property manager for an absent landlord. The lease was signed based on an agreed upon base rent plus additional rent, with additional rent defined as insurance, property taxes and common area maintenance (expenses (CAMs). An additional fee of 15% of the CAM expenses was also included in the lease agreement for managing the common areas. An estimate of the reasonable additional rent to be included each month was also described in the lease. The additional rent was collected as escrow to cover the upcoming years expenses. The property manager provided a reconciliation report about a year later that showed a shortfall of almost $4, 000, Investigation showed that the property manager added a "management fee" that was in addition to the other fees already discussed that had not been disclosed in the lease. Coldwell Banker also consistently includes expenses in the CAMs that specifically defined in the lease as the landlord's responsibility (e.g., roofing, HVAC) plus other fees that are questionable (more than $15, 000.00 charged ($45.00/hr) over the course of the year to empty about 8 trash cans once or twice a week). Most of these charges are paid directly to Coldwell Banker - Sun Coast Partners, LLC to which they charge an additional 15% CAM admin fee. My roof over my checkout counter has leaked for 5 years and never been fixed, each year we are charged for pressure washing the building (pictures are attached of the street side of my building that has had the same green munge for three years and of my checkout counter on Mother's Day 2015). For each dollar that Coldwell Banker - Sun Coast Partners can bill to the tenants, they make $0.15, so the more expenses they incur the more money they make. North Carolina addresses fiduciary responsibilities in state statute. Coldwell Banker - Sun Coast Partners engages in unethical and deceptive business and accounting practices. If you choose to do business with Coldwell Banker - Sun Coast Partners read your lease carefully and track every expense.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate bad management

I was a former employee and the complaint list is too long to get into detail for detail but my complaint is directed toward the poor management in this office. I'm a Father of two girls and have a hardworking wife and we just barely make ends meet. I work 4pm-12am in a Hotel to help make ends meet. I was a new Agent with very little guidance because I didn't have attentive mentors. They tried to help but were to busy themselves. I sat open houses and collected names and worked leads. Never once did I get nothing but derogatory statements from the Manager! She was rarely in the office but she was no help whatsoever! Her idea of communication was through Email and electronic notifications! Which was fine by me because in my opinion she had no real experience in Managing people, just numbers and profit margins for her Bosses. I was in Management for the hospitality business and I know how a manager of people should present themselves. The list is to long and at times I was ready to explode but I remained professional at all times. Eventually I made a great first sale and was let go the next day! I said I was broke half the time and was behind on my dues but I would have them paid after I cashed my commission check. The Manager said she wanted to sit down and discuss my future at CB but instead fired me. I'm now with a different firm that works with their employees and helps them as they need it and tries to positively motivate you into a successful career. The thing I learned with Coldwell is that if your making them money your ok, if you need help? go find a class and leave them alone! They provide mechanics but can't manage it's own people successfully.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate bad service - chuck winters

If you would like to save yourself the time and headache, avoid this loan officer. Excited as I was to be a first time home buyer, this individual made it an unbearable process. This individual had me sold on a low interest rate, closing cost, and quick closing date. Giving me a great sales pitch, nevertheless, failed to deliver each promise that was made. After inspection and appraisal, the communication from this individual ceased. My agent and I both emailed, called, and left messages only to be left unanswered. My agent and I personally had to stop by this individual's office on several occasions to receive the repetitive answer that the questions asked are being looked upon. My agent's manager had to step in to have the process rolling. My promised closing date was pushed back weekly and sure enough exceeding my locked interest expiration date, although this individual was made aware by both my agent and I that the expiration date was near. This individual assured us that the extension fee for the rate would be taken care of personally. With such a slow progress and lack of effort on this individual's end, my documents were submitted and nearly missed my contract's expiration date. As this was not bad enough, I received news from this individual later that evening after my documents were already submitted that this individual will not completely cover the extension fee to my interest rate as this individual was not at fault blaming the sales and listing agent for not doing their jobs properly. My good faith estimate and interest rate were also increased and more funds were needed at the closing table due to the lack of effort on this individual's part. Shop around, pay the extra closing cost and slightly higher interest rate to save yourself from acquiring a transaction with an individual such as this.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate unethical and dishonest practices

This realtor ignored the 24 hr offer response on a house where we bid $16, 000 over the asking price. Kept us waiting 8 days, held an open house and realtor tour, garnered multiple offers which she presented simultaneously to seller, used leverage to achieve a cash bid for exactly the sum we had bid and she received this other bid eight nights after ours. Our realtor was stunned at the unethical behavior of this realtor. This company is illegal and unethicaql and should lose its license. For proof contact Breen Realty in Cambria, CA.

I have been renting an apartment that is managed by Coldwell Banker for the last ~14 months. Anytime something was required of me, Sayed Tejani (the individual property manager for my suite) and his staff would call me ten times per day until they got through. Not once did I cause any trouble, had any complaints, or was late with any rent payments. I've kept the apartment in immaculate condition, too.

It has come time for me to move out and I want to discuss the move out fees with the property manager (there weren't any such fees when I moved in to this apartment), and they are straight up ignoring me. I have contacted numerous employees at Coldwell Banker by phone, email and text message. I've left voicemails and heard countless promises of how they'll be getting back to me. This has been going on for over three weeks now, and I still have not received ANY attempt of communication from them. No matter what I do, I am not able to reach the property manager, and despite being aware of my inquiries (numerous people told me they personally spoke with him about me), Sayed is completely ignoring me.

I have now done some research and found endless complaints about this company. I strongly suggest staying away and never giving them a penny of your money. They will do everything they can to suck out the last dime and then turn around and screw you.

Amazing property manager for us for quite a few years and many more years to come. Polite, well-educated, on the ball and always a smile on his face.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate failure to close

The broker William Lemaire and his mother/seller Roberta Lemaire are not honorable people.
They listed thier house as having COs and unfortunately it did not.
Took my money then started to negotiate over responsibility for COs.
Unwilling to reimburse me for the expenses I incurred trying to buy this house: bank apprasial, lawyer, survey.

Their broker William Lemaire who listed this house complained that his mother/seller will lose money on the deal. WHY IS THIS MY PROBLEM. They agreed to sell me the house for $139, 999 with a CO. All my bank asks is that $3, 000 be kept in escrow until the COs come through. The Lemaires say no.
The seller claims to have a mortgage on the property. WITH NO COs? AND DIDN'T KNOW!

I signed a purchase agreement on Jan 20 2012 with a closing date of March 10 2012. In Febuary my lawyer informed me that the title had no CO. The seller assured us that they would get the COs and would not let me back out of the deal. In March William Lemaire informed us that the house now needs a variance and could take an additional three months. Still no offer from the seller to settle and let me get on with my life.
I reached out and asked my Lawyer and Broker to reach out to Caldwell Banker M D Good Life concerning this matter but have yet to receive a response.
I currently live in a leased apartment with a lease that expires May 1 2012.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate poor agents

Over the last 51/2 years, my wife and I have experienced severe financial hardship and impact directly related to the documentation, representation of information and contract written by Coldwell Banker Agent Robert Larsen, who represented Caldwell Banker in our purchase of our residence in Payson, Utah.
Our claims are as follows:
• Coldwell Banker Agent miss-represented the items listed below not only in following up on items listed in MLS and in physical walk through where they presented the property and items on the property.
• Their Agent stated to us, and included in the Bill of Sale, property which was not owned by the Seller, and represented to us that it was included as part of the contract. This was either done fraudulently to close the sale or was done as poor business and contract knowledge. Mr. Larsen taught the new agent courses for Coldwell banker for several years and is supposed to know what a legal contract is.
• The Coldwell Baker Agent provided us inaccurate, costly and miss-leading information on what the “Without Warrantee” clause meant in the Bill of Sale
• The Agent has failed to perform the agreement he made with us in paying for 1/2 half the cost of developing a well up to $13500.00. I have asked Mr. Larsen for Money several times and to date I have received nothing!

Summary of Damages
Here are the damages we have experienced from working with their agent and your company
1) Attorneys fees to try and collect on the Water Right, Research of Water Right, and obtain irrigation system. $20, 000.00
2) Water Right Cash $3500 paid by us and $2000 from settlement with Seller that was awarded to us from Court. $5, 500.00
3) Owed me by for ½ cost to Dig well, up to $13, 500.00
4) Cost to purchase and install irrigation sprinkler line on our property $16, 000.00
5) Fruit Trees $2, 600.00
Total $ 57, 600.00
Over the last 5 1/2 years I have pursed with the courts trying to enforce Sellers to live up to the contract that was approved by the Coldwell Banker agent, who assured me I would get the items listed in the contract and he approved for me to sign. This was to no avail on the items listed above.
I have approached Coldwell Bankers directly to try and solve this problem and get restitution for the damages, which have ignored. Now you can see why I am posting my dis-satisfaction with Coldwell banker and their agent Robert Larsen in SLC, Utah.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate terrible service!

I recently called Coldwell Banker for a general inquiry on rentals available in my area. I didn't get any further than the lady at the front desk who answers the phone. I don't believe she was an agent, just a receptionist. I wish I had been able to get her name, because she was VERY rude and cut me off the minute I asked her for some information regarding home rentals. She even went as far as to raise her voice at me (who knows why?) before I just hung up the phone. In this market I would think Real Estate offices would be more careful in how they treat people calling for information. Who knows, I may have been a potential client for them...but with the treatment I received, I will NEVER ever call again, and I will advise every person I know to steer clear of Coldwell Banker! Very, very rude and abrupt service, this is not the way to win friends and influence people.
