Re/Max

On Friday March 2, 2007 I viewed a property that was shown to me by "Corrine" who represented herself as a Remax real estate agent. On March 3, I submitted all of my application paperwork on the property. I followed up with "Corrine" on Monday March 5 and then again on Thursday March 8 to see what the progress of my application was. On Thursday March 8 "Corrine" explained to me that she would have an answer for me by COB that day. By seven that night I had gotten no answer. The next morning I went to the Remax office to try and speak with Corrine. Instead, I ended up waiting an hour until the "Manager" came in. He explained to me that there were "6 or 8 bids on the property I had been looking at and that Corrine would submit my bid but there was no promise that I would get the property". Having been already jerked around I withdrew my bid on the property.

Today, March 21, I found out that mine was the only bid on the property. And that Corrine was a secretary and not a real estate agent. It then became apparent to me that the "office manager" who I had spoken with also lied to me. Great way to a run a business guys! Hope you can explain this one to the Maryland board of realtors!

Is this really the kind of service that Remax realty wants to extend to its customer's in one of the wealthiest and busiest real estate markets in the country? What ever happened to "ethical business practices"?

I am writing to inform your readers of a business deal I was in with Melinda Titus, with Remax One, at 27 East Main Street, of Webster, MA. While in the process of purchasing a home that they were advertising, I had tons of problems with either no returned phone call or long delay’s in their responses back to my real estate agent as well as my Fiancé.

I am a first time home buyer and do NOT think that buying a home should be as stressful as Ms. Titus with Remax One had made it for my fiancé and I. Due to all of these problems and delays in their responses back to us, we backed out of the purchase.

The sellers of 6 Barry Ave., Dudley, MA then decided that they had the right to keep half of our deposit, which is completely unfair considering we did everything possible to get this deal rolling and us into a new home with no cooperation from the seller’s side. Their agent with Remax One took their home off the market preventing other potentials views from looking at it. The sellers as well as Melinda Titus seemed to do everything in their power to prevent this deal from going through.

I just wanted your readers to know how disappointed I am with their service and would like to give anyone considering using Remax One in Webster, MA a heads up on how unprofessional they are and in my words “Play Dirty!”
