Eagles Nest Homes reviews and complaints

I urge EXTREME caution to anyone considering becoming a "Representative" for Eagles Nest Homes. The fee I paid for this privilege was $10, 000US, plus another $1500.00 for their training classes, documentation, and pamphlets. The problem is that it isn't until you're sitting in their office preparing to sign over the $10, 000 check that they bother telling you that you have to write your first contract for a home within 90 days or they'll boot you out and you forfeit your money. So you've paid your airfare to get there, three nights in a hotel, a rental car and other expenses, and they've never said word one about the time limit or the training expenses. Just shifty and underhanded and smacks of deceit. Before you sign on with this outfit make sure you can order a house from them within 90 days, preferably the one you're going to build for yourself. If you don't have money in hand, or via a lender, ready to pay for your house order, I recommend that you DO NOT give these guys your $10, 000 until you do. I'll stop short of calling them shysters, but I'll guarantee they've made millions over the years with this omission of information. As far as I'm concerned, they might as well have stuck a gun in my side and taken my wallet.

After working with Eagles Nest Homes for several years on home design we finally in October 07 decided to sell our house, purchase of a lot(Nov 07) and then their "package"(Dec 07), (Eagles Nest insisted we send funds to their supplier American Building Systems). We were given a delivery date of Jan 4, 08, which was changed to Jan 14, 08. Then their supplier(ABS) filed bankruptcy 8 DAYS later and we found out they had not started our package and we would not be receiving a shipment. We were left with out a home to live in (needed tomove by May 08), a vacant lot, and NO house package but already a $35, 000 mortgage!? Eagles Nest refused to help us get our money back because we paid their supplier. Besides they wanted to find a different supplier instead (however, we would again have to PURCHASE THE PACKAGE', once bitten twice shy)...again we would be homeless soon. Here we are in July 09, our builder had his crews stick build our design and we are here for a year. We still have not been refunded the 'DEPOSIT' they REQUIRED WE SEND THE SUPPLIER toward a package (we would not receive), when they had to know that bankruptcy was emminent. We are working with counsel to accomplish recovery.
