Coldwell Banker Realty
reviews and complaints

This real estate site is the bomb! It's got everything you need to find your dream home. You gotta check it out, no doubt about it.

I was blown away by the selection of homes available on Coldwell Banker Realty. They've got listings from all over the place, so you're sure to find something that suits your needs. And the search function is super easy to use, so you can narrow down your options in no time.

But what really impressed me was the level of detail in each listing. They've got tons of photos, virtual tours, and even floor plans for some properties. It's like you're actually walking through the house, which is super helpful when you're trying to get a feel for the space.

And if you're not sure where to start, they've got a team of real estate agents who can help you out. I reached out to one of them and they were super friendly and knowledgeable. They really took the time to understand what I was looking for and gave me some great options to consider.

Overall, I highly recommend Coldwell Banker Realty. It's a top-notch site with a great selection of homes and a helpful team of agents. Don't hesitate to check it out!

coldwellbankerhomes.com is a good place to go if you want to find a place to live, especially if you're looking in the Bay Area! The site is easy to use and has lots of options to choose from. You can search by location, price, and other things like how many bedrooms you want. There are also lots of pictures of the houses so you can see what they look like before you go see them in person.

I found the site to be really helpful when I was looking for a new place to live. I was able to find a house that was in my price range and in a good location. The site also has lots of information about the neighborhoods, which was really helpful for me since I didn't know the area very well.

One thing that I didn't like about the site was that sometimes the information wasn't up-to-date. I found a few houses that were listed as available, but when I called the realtor, they had already been rented out. That was a little frustrating, but overall, I still think the site is a good resource for finding a new place to live.

Overall, I would recommend coldwellbankerhomes.com to anyone who is looking for a new place to live. It's easy to use and has lots of options to choose from. Just make sure to double-check the information before you get too excited about a house!

I had a really bad time trying to buy a house in Haymount, Fayetteville, NC. I put in an offer for the full price on the same day, but I didn't get any response. My Coldwell agent tried to convince me to back out of the offer, which was really frustrating. They even corrected the rental income from $1500 to $1200 and said it was a mistake. That's not very professional, is it? It seemed like they didn't want us to buy the property at all. Eventually, the offer expired.

Both the seller and buyer agents were from Coldwell Banker, and I don't think they were very fair or transparent. I would recommend staying away from them if you can.

Coldwell Banker Realty, also known as AZMOVES.com, is a real estate website that we had the chance to work with when we listed our home. Unfortunately, our experience with them was not a positive one. The listing agent that we worked with overpriced our home by a whopping $50,000, which was confirmed by two other agents in his office and even his managing broker, Sheila Dillon. This was a huge disappointment for us, as we were hoping to sell our home quickly and at a fair price.

When we decided to pull the listing, things got even worse. The agents at Coldwell Banker tried to force us to sign documents that were completely untrue. We felt like we were being backed into a corner, and it was a very uncomfortable situation. We had to threaten legal action and even going to the real estate board before they finally agreed to release the listing. Even then, it was like pulling teeth to get them to include the right language.

Overall, we would not recommend Coldwell Banker Realty or AZMOVES.com to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Our experience was frustrating and disappointing, and we would hate for anyone else to go through the same thing. We hope that they can improve their practices in the future and provide better service to their clients.

Coldwell Banker Realty, specifically the West Shell company, and their realtor Courtne Brass, recently sold me a house that unfortunately had some issues. Despite our contract stating that the appliances (dishwasher, fridge, washer and dryer, light fixtures) were to be left in the house, the previous owner had removed them before I moved in. This was not only frustrating, but also costly as I had already paid for these items. Additionally, the flooring was left damaged.

I was disappointed to learn that the realtor was aware of this fraudulent behavior by the previous owner between the closing date and the day they moved out. This lack of action on the realtor's part is unacceptable and has caused me a great deal of stress and inconvenience.

As a result, I am requesting that the realtor's license be revoked. I am also filing charges with the court and sending all relevant information, including pictures and a copy of the contract, to the prosecutor's office.

Overall, my experience with Coldwell Banker Realty and their realtor Courtne Brass was not a positive one. I hope that they take responsibility for their actions and work to ensure that this does not happen to anyone else in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Coldwell Banker Realty and Esaul Alatriste CAL BRE# *** to sell my family's home in San Diego and purchase a new home in Jacksonville, FL. As a Navy veteran with seven PCS transfers in 16 years, I was looking for a realtor who could help us sell our home at top dollar and make the process as easy as possible.

From the moment Esaul arrived at our home, we knew we were in good hands. He was professional, responsive, and dedicated to helping us achieve our goals. He answered all of our questions, no matter what time of day it was, and made us feel like we were part of a team. We were impressed by his loyalty, trust, and honesty, and it felt like he was part of our family.

After two successful open houses, we received two offers and got ourselves into a contract. However, things took a turn when the termite inspection revealed that we needed $3200 worth of repairs. As a veteran, I have been trained to look at all options and ask questions in order to accomplish any mission successfully and efficiently. I asked Esaul if getting a second termite inspection from another company would be a good idea, to see if we could save some money on the repairs. He said yes, and we went ahead with the second inspection.

Unfortunately, Esaul's lack of knowledge and experience with VA loans and termite inspections cost us dearly. We were responsible for fixing everything from both termite companies, and we lost our hard-earned equity. When I reached out to the manager, James Armel, from the La Mesa office CAL BRE#: ***, to see if there was anything we could do to avoid paying the extra $3200, I was disappointed by their response. They said it was too late to renegotiate with the buyers, and I felt like we were no longer part of a partnership or team. Instead, we were just a deal and a commission check.

Esaul has since been promoted to manager at the Carmel Valley office, and I hope he has learned from this experience and can help other realtors in his office avoid making the same mistake. I also hope that Coldwell Banker Realty will take responsibility for their mistake and apologize for the loss of our equity. In today's society, it's all too common for people to prioritize making a quick dollar or getting promoted over doing the right thing for families like mine.

Looking back on the experience, I realize that loyalty, trust, and dedication should be earned, not just given based on first impressions. It's important to have reliable backup, even if it isn't your realtor's area of expertise. And it's crucial to ask questions and have a questioning attitude, especially when it comes to something as important as buying or selling a home. I wouldn't want any other families, including my brothers and sisters in the Armed Forces, to lose their hard-earned equity because of a mistake like this.

We who live at Madrid Manor and want to sell take a lot of pride in doing so
We need that personal contact and our agents ie 1401 El Norte Parkway#161 is not personable
She wont show the house the way it is, she wants to tell other Realtors on the Virtual Caravans the flaws, not the fun the future client will have living here
I want someone who has my best interests, not hers!

Aubrey I- has been an awful property manager from the start- I tried to fire her after the first year but had my home with Smart Move Advantage and they would not let me- she promised to help find me a gardener which she never did- she tried to rent my property for 200 less that what it was worth- she picked out tenant who I am sure she knows because she complained for them about everything- would not let me consider any other applicants- tried to allow hem not to let me show my home so I could sell it- tried to give them a 18 mont lease instead of the 12 mont lease I wanted and now that they are finally out she wants to give them back their full deposit even though the home needs to be painted and cleaned and smells- she actually documented they got it in the condition they received it even though she took money from the deposit of the previous tenants to have it cleaned for them1 she is unfair and a liar. I have years of emails to prove it- you should not allow her to continue to use your namw

Vultures. Couldn't of cared less about my family and I. It was our first time selling a home. I honestly have no idea what I paid these two for. Poor communication. My wife tried to get a hold of both and consistently heard nothing back. When it came time to close we didn't get our asking price so to help make up our loss our other realtor (in new city) gave up part of her commission. Mike and Amy procrastinated for days saying "we have to check with our manager." They gave yo their "extra commission" which was a fraction of what our other realtor gave up. There was such little care or concern about us they literally had no idea when we were even moving! How does that happen? From the day we met them we honestly heard from them twice (without us contacting them first). If you're lookin for realtors who honestly don't give two [censored]s about you, your family, or your financial needs-definitely hire these two clowns. Poor service. Mike/Amy, you should be ashamed of yourselves, but my guess is you're not. Pathetic.

We have been going through Coldwell Banker since 2015 when staying in Ocean City. This year we had major issues with our unit including a bedbug infestation. Coldwell requires us to leave the unit immediately and all of our bedding inside. We spent HOURS at the laundry mat doing with pest control Allstate required us to do. The pest control company told us Coldwell Banker would be putting us up in a new unit and would be reimbursed for everything we had to replace and spent as long as we kept receipts. It took the pest control company 8 hours to show up. But that doesn't surprise me considering we called another time during the same trip to have a maintenance man show up and it took him 8 hours to get there as well. They threw us out of the condo and told us we were on our own we could either pay for a hotel out of pocket or get in the car during a major storm and drive 7 hours with 3 kids under the age of 7 we told them we were not comfortable doing that and they said it wasn't their problem. After renting with Coldwell Banker multiple weeks over the last three years I have never been so Furious as to how they treat their paying customers. They don't care what happens to you or the unit because they already have their money in full before you check in...
The cabinet door was completely broken off the kitchen, barely any kitchen supplies, tub drain doesn't work in either of the bathrooms, toilet runs nonstop, filth and junk under the bed in master bedroom,
Couch was filthy dirty, carpets were filthy, issues with tv in living room, tv in master bedroom didn't work...
I am beyond disgusted

7/21 - 7/28
We stayed at the Plaza unit 1507 and booked through CBVactions
Unit was run down and dirty...
Firstly our unit was never cleaned prior to us getting the keys. There were bags of dirty linens in the unit and was filthy hair and sand all over. I proceeded to start to clean when we got a knock at the door from the cleaning staff stating unit had not been cleaned yet. So now they proceeded to clean while we were there trying to unpack. They did a rush job. Floors were not washed at all and had to ask them to run the vacuum cleaner. This is a HEALTH HAZARD letting renters in prior to cleaning...Nathan at Coldwell responded floors are not washed because carts are brought into rooms (WHAT)? this was never stated that a cart was being brought into the room...

Secondly the tub in the master BR was clogged and filthy. Cleaning people stated they reported to the office to have maintenance dept. look at. 4 hrs go by nobody shows I go to office and am told I need to call Coldwell which I did and was told an order would be put in. Was not fixed until Sunday at 3pm. so stagnant water that smelled was left for a day and a half. Again a HEALTH HAZARD

Thirdly screen door to patio out of BR was off track and full of holes...

fourthly door to laundry closet was off track and fell on me when opened to do laundry so we just put aside for the week. Again a HEALTH HAZARD and could have been hurt thank god no small children in unit...

I followed up with Coldwell banker and got this response
Ms...

We have received your email and I want to thank you for bringing these issues to our attention and to apologize for your dissatisfaction with the cleanliness and the maintenance issues that you experienced at the unit. I've passed your feedback along the to the cleaning company as well as to the property owner. After speaking with the cleaner, they reported that they were asked 'not to mop the floor as the guests were bringing in a cart.' Normal check-in time is 3pm and according to our records the property was reported cleaned as of 3:06pm. Particularly on our busiest Saturdays in the summer, the cleaners can be held up in traffic and the cleanings completed slightly after 3pm. We do note in our contract that cleanings may occur as late as 6pm. Regarding the maintenance request, we sent your request to the Plaza maintenance team at 5:12pm on Saturday evening as soon as we received approval from the property owner. I apologize that they were unable to address it until the following day. We hope you'll give us a chance to improve upon our service next time you visit Ocean City! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at the numbers below.

In other words TO BAD ...

My family rented 6 units here during this week for a wedding and will not be renting from CBVacations in the future as many of them also had issues.

I feel I should be refunded a few days at least 2 that the shower/tub could not be used as well as for having to clean wash floors myself...

We are making this complaint in reference to Coldwell Bankers, Waltham, MA office's improper marketing, negligence, and breach of contract regarding the sale of our home Massachusetts.
Our agent, Dave ** did a CMA and priced our home at @$619, 000 to $629, 900 in May 2017. We wanted to know the homes value while looking for a retirement community. We found a place, told the agent Dave ** that we would be ready to sell in the spring. Meanwhile the new property contacted us that our new home could be ready in May instead of July. We contacted agent Dave ** who said enthusiastically that would be a great time to put our house on the market, and that we would beat the spring rush. He emphatically ensured us that the $629, 900 was a ‘good and valid' price for our home.
6 weeks go by, not one offer. Dave blamed the 1)small back yard, 2)the smoking done on the front porch and 3)subsequently, after 3-4 dry open houses and numerous viewings, the 3 Nor'easter storms that caused water in our basement.
We were passed on to another agent, and then another. Each agent told us to reduce the price. The final price was $575, 000. We requested to be released from the contract, but Coldwell Banker would not release us. We had to hire an attorney, at our cost, to be let out of the contract.
Coldwell accused us of lying, being unrealistic, and uncooperative. We were sworn and yelled at. Their unprofessional behavior was acknowledge by their attorney.
Not only buyer beware but sellers must also beware when dealing with Coldwell Banker.

We moved out of our rental property May 1st of this year and a few weeks later received a security deposit of $7.88 out of the $1200 hundred we were expecting back. We understand there were some repairs that needed to be done way before we even moved in. We provided over 5o photographs of issues, and the Coldwell only replied with ''Its up to the owners if they want it fixed'' Understandable but when it was time to move out we had a list of things to comply with and the ones we did not, we asked for receipts to prove that repairs would cost up to 1, 200 dollars and we have not received a copy of any receipts, just word of mouth via email on what they think the price was. I have reached out twice now for a copy of the receipts, if everything lines up we are fine with receiving $7.88 back from our security deposit.

Hello,

I engaged Caldwell Banker for my recent 5/24/18 home sale, the main reason is I wanted to employ a professional, well-established, realtor firm to sell my home and have had good experience with Caldwell Banker in the past.

I selected Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty, 5383 Main Street, Windham NY 12496. Since I didn't have a lawyer, I asked my agent Sharon Knudsen to have Caldwell Banker recommend a lawyer. She provided 3-attorneys but highly recommended Alyson E. Atwood, Esq., 565 Overlook Road, Hillsdale, NY 12529 and mentioned she has done a lot of work with her and she was very good.

As part of the home sale the buyer requested a lot of furnishing which I included. It was agreed that the garage would be cleaned and any items left that the buyer did not want would be picked up by my maintenance person "Luis" as evidenced by the following email agreement from my attorney and my Caldwell Banker agent (see #4 & #5) in following cut/paste text message:

-----------------
On May 14, 2018, at 6:38 PM, Sharon Knudsen wrote:
As per our phone conversation here is the final agreement that you and the buyer have agreed to for the inspection issues.
1. Radiator - You will give the buyer a $250.00 credit at closing for the broken radiator.
2. Buyer will keep the 2 ladders and grill in exchange for the broken window.
3. Sat. dish will be removed this week.
4. Any items left in the garage that the buyer does not want will be removed by Luis.
5. Additional items you have left for the buyer include sheets, blankets, pillows and 2 new heating units which are for the upstairs.

Alyson - buyer has agreed to these items.

Thanks
Sharon
-----------------------

All of the above subjectivities had been addressed by the closing. My issue is while we had this agreement in place, at the closing both Alyson (my attorney recommended by Caldwell Banker) and Sharon (my Caldwell Banker agent) colluded in an attempt to get a $1500 credit to the buyer to clean the garage. It was already agreed that Luis would pick up the items not wanted. Sharon said that the buyer will get their own person and they want $1500 (see pics attached). Both Sharon and Alyson were extremely unprofessional on the phone using strong-arm tactics in efforts to get the $1500 credit. My attorney Alyson Atwood (recommended by Caldwell Banker) made it evident she was not looking out for my interest but more interested in closing the deal. I reminded her of item #4 above that everyone already agreed that anything buyer didn't want would be picked up but Alyson handed off the phone to Sharon. Sharon insisted on the $1500 credit to buyer and the buyer would hire their own person to take items out of garage. My maintenance person already agreed to take the items for me for a total of $100. Just to get the deal closed I told Sharon I would give $250 toward the clean out not $1500. Sharon countered with $500. I explained it was already agreed (per #4 of the email above) that Luis would clean out. Both Sharon and My attorney colluded and threatened if I didn't accept I would be on the hook for both the attorney fees and Caldwell Banker commission. I ultimately agreed to the $500 to close the deal. I consider this a theft.

So, we closed 5/24/18 and it is now 6/5/2018 and the funds still have not cleared in my account. I am considering taking every cent of my proceeds and filing an E&O complaint against Caldwell Banker, this was outrageous behavior by both your agent and the legal referral of Caldwell Banker.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks and regards,
Bill

hi
I am facing a dilemma with Coldwell Banker UAE
the most unprofessional system..
I signed the contract last sunday and submitted all cheques.
I did not receive my signed copy yet.
they gave me NOC letter to move in while the DEWA of previous tenant was not cleared yet..
they have withdrawn the commission cheque..
they said I can transfer my staff yesterday 17 May 2018.. but the door lock cannot be opened although it was okay before... we believe it has been done on purpose by the building management or supervisor.
most of the maintenance as well supposed to be done also is pending.. only the painting and some lights they did but the kitchen, the balcony and many things were left although they gave us the keys and the NOC to move.

I have called the supervisor many times and sent him and email and WhatsApp msg was sent last night but no answer and no feed back...
this is the worst experience I have ever been through..
I need and urgent answer..
people should live in a good environment not in a so much frustrating people who do not care about their tenants..
thanks

oasis residence - unit 805.. Barsha heights - Dubai

Almost a month ago my son Jason Kotecha, British subject, works in Dubai UAE. He took Interst in in buying a property in Suncity AZ. 10758 W. Crosby Drive, Sun City. AZ 85351
#5730850

Unfortunately he had an armature Realtor of Coldwell Banker Linda Levine. She misguided him by saying he needs to prove he has money in the bank etc. so he transferred his funds in 2 transaction $ 100, 000 per day from Dubai. So in 2 days time his funds were in Wells Fargo account. Unfortunately being a Non US resident he can not withdraw large sum in one transaction. Therefore he could not finalize the deal. Now the Escrow agent Penny Esparza of Drigs Title Agency is rude uncooperative. Not prepared to look in to the fact that it is not that he hasn't got the funds it is the fact that Coldwell Agent Linda Levine misguided him. Wasted his time & got him in to messy situation.
He is the victim here and he is losing $2500 due to no fault on his part.
Also my son buying this property in 3 names, with his wife & myself. Due to time difference oh UK 8 hrs ahead of Phoenix. Cancellation Email sent to me at AZ time of 7pm arrived at 3.02 am. Upon waking up as I was reading it message popped up time expired!
I can send you screen shot of the email.

If you guide us and help us it will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

There is a house @ 130 or 131 Allendale Drive in West Columbia that needs to have the grass mowed. You guys are trying to sell it, so shouldn't you all be resposable for the grass getting cut. How are you going to sell a home when the grass is as tall as the mail box.I hope you can help me with this problem. Please contact me if you'd like @ [protected]@sc.rr.com

Worked with Andy recently as a buyer trying to purchase a home he was listing. It was a total disaster. We had a signed purchase agreement on Sunday April 15th. Over the next 7 days we setup an inspection and scope for the basement. They told us we would not have access to the home and the key would be out of the lock box until Monday April 23rd, after the purchasing agreement we just signed expired. In addition, his client lied on the disclosures. They claimed there was only water damage from the storm drain one time only. When we went through the house a second time, there was water puddling and seeping in from the foundation. As part of our inspection, (that we needed to rush, reschedule two times, and have an addendum because we were denied access over the 7 days we had on the purchase agreement) we were told that water has been coming in from the foundation for quite a while. This was from two different companies. If you want to buy a home from someone that is willing to openly lie on a disclosure statement and take 48 hours or more to respond to phone calls, this is your guy.

I cannot speak to anything on local knowledge or process expertise, but trying to simply setup a basic inspection was next to impossible for our realtor and myself to make happen. Unprofessional. Lying on a disclosure is a serious offense and cost me $765.00 in inspections only to find out the house has suffered from a foundation issue for quite some time. Hire honest people Coldwell.

The agent of Bartolic Team (Cold Wells Banker) was jerk around, disrespect with the Buyers
On March 29th, Tony Bartolic at Bartolic Team asked Buyers to came to property 5342 Shrewsbury, Westminster CA 92683 and wait for him to open the door for hours (1pm wait to 4pm for lock box installed, 4pm he asked to wait to 6.45 because he stuck on traffic, and 6.45pm to 8pm he didnt show up.)

I made a full price offer on lot next to my property and unfortunately didn't hear back from publishing agent in timely manner. So I then contacted my personal realtor to send a writing offer for the lot. At the end of the day my agent received and email saying that my contract was not the one accepted.

I few that the publishing agent simply either didn't present my contract to seller because he didn't want to share his commission with my agent and he also didn't give a chance to counter offer.

I am very upset and disappointed! How and why I was not given the due right or option to up my offer and buy the lot next to me?

I am considering legal advice and action.
