Coldwell Banker Real Estate
reviews and complaints

I had a very awkward and unusual experience with this agent. He was briefly nice at first when I requested information on a house that I thought he was the listing agent for. When he found out that we hadn't decided on a permanent agent for our family yet and that I wasn't going to automatically chose him, he became unhelpful, rude, and aggressive. It was very odd behavior and made us feel very uncomfortable. His actions appeared very self-serving and implied a strong sense of entitlement without the concept of earning someone's business. Very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with his surprising and fluctuating mood swing. We decided to steer very clear of him.

Coldwell Banker: Florida Moves is completely non-responsive around customer service. In fact, they asked that I don't even contact them directly anymore. They have a realtor working for them that is sneaky and deceptive. The realtor who in this case was the rep for the seller hired a roofer to repair our home. She hired a non-qualified person that didn't repair the roof correctly and after we moved in there was a major leak into our garage. This was a "contracted" repair. After we gave them a chance to come out and fix the roof again, the roofer was a no show and nowhere to be found. This was a personal contact of the realtors. Once we were forced to repair the roof ourselves for 1300. Florida Moves in Longwood told us they will retain a "vigorous lawyer" to defend their position and not offer to pay any portion of our loss. Do not use them to sell your home or purchase a home they are listing.

This agent (Terry McCorthey) has no respect for her neighbors or their right to peace and privacy. Ms. McCourtney is a lonely unbalanced individual who likes to incite people to get attention in her life. She claims that my dogs bark all the time. She came running out of her duplex to push in my face that she recored my dogs barking for 45mins. She is so crazy that she claps her hands and screams in the driveway and shouts shut up just to get them to bark. She claims to be a nice person and she screams at me and my kids and threatened to have them taken away by social services. The tenants in the duplex next to her all end up moving out because she would harass them relentlessly, and would tell them things like where to place thier TV so she would not be brothered by the noise. She would leave harassing letters and call the landlord (Mrs. Joseph Hammer) and claim the new teants are making to much noise. All of the female tenants were not allowed to wear highheels in their own duplex, and she would throw books and bang the walls because of the noise. She would call the police when the new tenants would have company and complain it was to loud. My family has owned the property next to her for 31 years, compared to her being here for 18 years, and she tells us that we need to move. She would often boast to us and her close friends how she uses her influence as a real estate to go on people's property to do what ever she wanted. She has been on a private, prestigious, gated community behind our homes, to harrass the owners and their servants to complain about their dogs. She would then tell the gate guard, that she has real estate business there and that he has no right to stop her, and to mind his own business, which is a clear misuse of her real estate agent priveleges. What kind of an agent would be so blatantly dishonest, abusive, and totally unprofessional to disturb the peace and quiet, as well as violate the property owner's rights. We also know of many times when Ms. McCourtney would have an open house for one of her client's homes, and would go ballistic during the open house, and scare away prospective buyers, because she did not like the people's ethnicity, and that she felt that they did not deserve to live in the area, which is clearly racial descrimination. We have been to arbitration with this person, and have followed the arbitrater's instructions to the letter, but Ms. McCourtney continues to behave any way she pleases, and ignores the arbitrater's instructions. We have gone out of our way to accomodate Ms. McCourtney as much as we could, and she still goes out of her way to cause us trouble, when the other neighbors have said that our family is one of the quietest, and nicest neighbors on the street. We have pleaded with Ms. MCCourtney's propert owner, and have gotten absolutely no help from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hammer when it comes to Ms. McCourtney's disruptive and abusive behavior toward the neighborhood. We are told that she has never given them any trouble, and that she is a very good tenant, and that we are the ones that are having the issues with Ms. McCourtney. We have documented files on her outrageous behavior, as well as verbal testimony from all of the previous tenants that were driven away by Ms. McCourtney. What more can we do to resolve this most stressful, frustating, and very unplesant matter?

Coldwell Banker Advantage of Overland Park, Ks, the broker of the firm (Karen Bergin), and their agent (Linda Bobski) failed to sell my home and then filed an illegal document to cloud the title of my home, thus making the property unmarketable indefinitely. Their tactics are nothing more than extortion because they know it is cheaper to pay them what they demand than it is to fight them in court. Their real estate licenses should be revoked and they should be banned from practicing in Missouri due to their illegal and unethical actions.

they advertised a rental property at a weekly rate, called to reserve, the agent changed the price, said the website did not work correctly, would not honor advertised price, believe they bait customers and then adjust rental rates, very rude agents, do not rent through cbvacations

They do not know how to manage the escrow accounts. They overcharge, threaten you when you complain and try to use scare tactics. My payment went from 373 to 485 because the mis-managed the monies in it. If you try to contact them it is impossible. They only provide an automated call number and I have still not found a way to get around it.
