I'm not sure how this company practices business but in my dealing with them they were shady at best. They are a short sale company so if you are about to go into foreclosure they will help you sell your house so you don't have a foreclosure on your credit report. Now maybe they are great at this I don't know but this is my story.
I went to make an offer on a house (3205 Kinlock, Plano, Tx) that was originally listed at 189, then one-two weeks later went down to 179 then one week later went down to 159. Now I didn't know the entire sale history when I made the offer but I did know they just dropped it 20k. So you are wondering what's wrong with the house, has to be something terribly wrong to drop the price that much, right? Well no not in appearance anyways. Beautiful neighborhood in Plano, beautiful remodel. So I made an offer, didn't hear anything for a week. At that point I was like okay it was too good to be true so let's just leave it at that.
In the meantime, I did do my homework though and found out who owned the house at 3205 Kinlock, Plano, Tx (Azul Group) and researched the pricing history. A week later they come back and say everyone put in your best offer because their are multiple offers. I put in my best offer which was asking price (good offer right?). Nope, they come back and say it wasn't nearly the highest offer. So you would think at this point they accepted someone's offer right? NOPE. They put it back on the market for 179. They are just playing pricing games with this house to test the market. That's great if you want to test the market but don't do it on behalf of home buyers trying to find a house. It makes you come across as a sleazy business owner. So apparently Azul Group bought this particular house (3205 Kinlock, Plano, Tx) and they are wanting to see what the market will bear.
I just want everyone to know who may come across a house listed under the Azul Group that you may not want to make an offer especially if you see them playing with the listing price UNLESS you are going to offer say 20k over asking price.
In addition the guy that listed the property at DFW Elite works for Azul so not sure if DFW Elite is owned by the Azul Group or not but it was never relayed to us that the two were tied together which apparently is a big no-no in the real estate biz. If you are the seller and listing company (both the same) than you are supposed to let the potential buyers know this little piece of information. read more
