Keller Williams Realty
reviews and complaints

Do not use Kelle to sell your home, or buy one from anyone that she represents. She is not truthful. She is aggressive, then non-responsive. She will do whatever it takes for a buck, "my friend". Don't do it.

While this doesn't pertain to the real estate industry directly and I can't attest to their real estate practices personally, the Spokane Keller Williams has shown that it can be dishonest and will break rules when it interferes with their financial gain.

Craigslist is a free community service with a simple set of rules, don't post duplicate advertisements and only post those advertisements once every 48 hours. Yet for close to a year now, the Spokane Keller Williams has continually spammed
craigslist with hundreds of duplicate postings every day, making Craigslist's real estate section unusable to the people who use this service and unfair to the other real estate companies that do follow its rules.

There has been many complaints from within the Craigslist community and they have been asked numerous times to stop this practice but instead of being a professional company and righting their wrong, they have only responded with childish remarks and lies.

While their incessant spamming of Craigslist is just annoying at best, it doesn't bestow much confidence when a company is willing to take advantage of a free community service and feels that breaking or bending the rules to accommodate their needs is appropriate.

So, before choosing this company to represent you in one of life's most important transactions, you should ask yourself; Am I willing to take a chance that they won't take advantage of me or break the rules set in place to protect me for the purpose
of their own gain? Although minor, the Spokane Keller Williams has shown that they are not opposed to either.

My fiancé and I were paying on a loan modification when we realized the house payments were just beyond what we could afford. We decided to get the advise of a "short sale" expert for Keller Williams in Atlanta, GA. The lady met with us in our home and told us not to worry about a thing that she would handle all of the negotiations and paperwork with our bank. we were relieved after three years of dealing with the bank in an attempt to keep our house. She then recommended that we stop paying the mortgage to make the bank "act" on our request for a short sale. We signed a contract with her and put our trust in her professional experience. Three months later I received a foreclosure notice, I called the agent and she never responded to my calls personally. Instead she had her office staff call me and assure me that all of the paperwork had been submitted for the short sale offers we had received. We were very encouraged by the amount of phone calls and "showings" we had from real state agents. Two weeks before the foreclosure was scheduled to take place I became suspicious and called the bank to confirm everything was working according to the Keller Williams staff (I continued to try to speak directly with the agent and she would not return my calls). I then learned that the application package was not submitted by the staff person completely. I called repeatedly and no answer from the agent just the office staff who seemed dumbfounded and unable to negotiate with the bank. I then took matters in to my own hands and faxed the missing documents. To my surprise even the application was missing! Although all of the required documentation was faxed and emailed directly to the Keller Williams office two months prior as instructed and required by the agreement signed. To make a long story short my house was sold and later I found out that the agent had an agreement with the Investment Group that purchased my home. The agent has now listed my house again for sale as a FORCLOSURE BARGAIN! I am devastated! Is this ethical behavior? Is there no end to greed in the housing market? I remember my real state agent telling me “not to worry, it’s a done deal” when I told her I didn’t believe I would get approved for the house in the first place. Now both agents made their money, the banks got their money from the government, the investors made a profit from the purchase and sale of the foreclosed home and I (the consumer) am left with nothing but debt, bad credit and no savings. Something has to change.

William Savage signed a neuter contract on an english bulldog puppy, I sold him back in July 2012. The contract stated that he was to get the dog neutered by 12/10/2010, and I marked the AKC papers as limited. He FRAUDULENTLY registered the dog online as full registration, and has not neutered the dog. He is a fraud and scam artist. I have since contacted AKC and had his contract faxed to them, and they have limited his registration. If anyone breeds to this dog, your puppies will not come with any type of registration, please be cautious when dealing with such scam artists. If he does this with a dog, I wonder what he does in his real estate business? Use caution when buying anything from this man...

I rented property from these people in Jan 2011 the property was transferred to the Bank 9/2/11 as a foreclosure. Pat Skiffington the broker and owner of Real source p m and keller Williams refuse to return the deposit to me as well as Sept. rent. After Sept. 2/11 he has no right to the rent or deposit. He keeps saying he will transfer it to the Bank, but it is 90 days later and he still has not done so. Besides the Bank has repeatedly told me they have no interest in my deposit not do they want any rent. They owe me $1950. His assistant said she would return it and then Pat S. said no because he is the broker.

We went to look at the house on 95 Roy ave listed price 149000 (est value 99000) and we found out a lot by asking neighbors. The nice family at the beginning of Roy ave. let us know that they can not flush the toilets or take more than a five min shower because the land in the area will not perk.
The land at 95 Roy ave also has the same issue. Also found out that the road gets covered in water with heavy rains. The white building on Cloud springs ( adjacent to land behind Roy ave)has some issue with sewer and has raw sewage contained in above ground tank that smells really awful. And we also found out that the previous owner had passed away in the house ( Doris L Pickens). March 24 2011

Keller Williams opperates under the philosophy of "sharing the wealth" with its agents but let's be realistic. Where is the wealth really? On cruises around the world perhaps, or maybe vacationing in their beach homes. That's where Herbert and Ruth Taylor, owners of the New England Keller Williams region are. While agents bust their chops to bring in the dough, the top dogs, like Herbert and Ruth are rolling in it. It's unfortunate, that people like Ruth and Herbert Taylor would take advantage of colleagues and associatees in a time of crisis, but it's true. With their low compensation, high demand, and unmanageable workload They do everything in their power to suck you dry and then disregard you like yesterdays news. They've gone as far as to withhold pay commissions and change my commission structure THREE times within the past year, stating that these changes had to be made because of our tough economy. They're right, the economy is tough on everyone, except them. They're living high on the hog while the rest of us do the best to feed our kids. For those of you who don't know how it works, the regional owners receive royalties on everyone else's sales every month for doing nothing but being rich. It doesn't stop there either. While some may slave away their entire lives to scratch out a living, the owners of this company will continue to receive royalties even after they're dead! That means their spoiled, rich children will be able to live the high life at the expense of others. They don't have to lift a finger unless it is to attend a conference and perpetuate the brainwashing of thousands of innocent, hard working people. There's nothing wrong with being rich but getting rich off other people's sweat and tears is just wrong. Avoid this comany at all costs unless you want to fall victim to another couple jewish scammers.

Dealt with an agent that lied to me, and all she could do was see her commission. She was much better at driving a school bus then she is as an agent. Take this as fair warning, if you find yourself dealing with a short fat lady who works for Keller Williams in Michigan, you have been warned, stay as far away from her as possible, avoid like the plague.

jackie matherne of the matherne team of keller williams in hamond and covington la., she acted inapropiate, unprofessional, and pushy at the signing the agreement towards my senior citizen mother. My Mom called me crying and upset with this
uncaring woman. Jackie Matherne should not be allowed to have a realtor licsense due to the way that she treats her
clients. his whole expierence withy mother selling her home has been a nightmare now that we are stuck with this horrible
woman because of her pushing my mother into signing this agreemant we cant get out of...
i am sharing my story of this in order to tell all that you must read every detail these real estate people put in these contracts.
they do aim to screw you!

The communication is horrible. All he wants is your money and not serve you. Selling property is hard but no one should be forced to buy any thing. The way he is doing is really against the consumer ethic. A contract is terminated because it is terminated, end of story. Why do you have to be so difficulty. Do all your people in your company work this way? I wonder. I don't know if you are even qualified to be a Realtor, where do you get your license? Why do you teach your client to do this? Do not, I repeat, DO NOT work with this Realtor, you will be sorry. I am really... pissed. I just need to get this out of my chest. They take my money and do not want to return to me.

It is tough out there! Really, when it comes to buying a property, you need a good Realtor to help you. Definitely not this one! He will piss you off for sure. Even though it is the Buyer's market right now, please, still be very careful when buying a property. Especially for a condo. It is true, some Realtors only wants to make money and not care for you. Stay away from those Realtors. I had been in contact with this one and he is extremely difficulty to deal with. There are so many out there who are wonderful or at least acceptable. There is no reason for you to put up with a bad one like this, especially now it is the buyer's market.
Before you sign any contract, make sure you read the fine line. The contract is not protecting you necessary, it only protects you to a point, even if you are right. The Title company can't help you, the Realtor will more than likely disappear when it comes to a problem. There are lots of hidden fees associated with condo property, be sure to ask and ask until you are completely clear before you sign any thing. Remember, the contract won't do any good, you still have to go to court, which is a lot of work and energy/time waste for you. A very sad and dissatisfied customer.

Real Estate Agent Patricia James-Nix ... aka Patti Nix, advertised a home for lease that I signed a lease agreement on and was given a specific move-in date. A few weeks later, I moved everything I owned 2300 miles across the country, only to find that I was scammed! The agent leased me a home that was under construction and not a liveable home! I was left with nowhere to go, and was forced to return to my home state at tremendous expense! The Real Estate office has REFUSED to even communicate with me and reimburse me for all of my expenses. Don't do business with these people!
