WORST EXPERIENCE EVER WITH A REALTOR, TYLER MARTIN. Unprofessional from the first meeting to closing date. Tyler showed up at our house early for a meeting to talk about the sale of our home. Which he refused to call it a home he referred to our home as a unit the entire time. When he came to our home, and I was in the shower so I couldn't get to the door. So he proceeded to knock aggressively on our windows, not the front door on the actual living room window, and went around to the back locked patio door. Stretched himself over the locked door to shimy the lock open. Then he came up to our sliding glass doors and started knocking aggressively on the sliding doors. This really took me by surprise since I've never had someone come into the back unannounced and I thought it was very unprofessional and quite frankly obnoxious behavior. But I would soon come to find out that was nothing in comparison to the next 165 days. The house sat on the market in Sam Djego for 121 days/16 weeks to sell our home and the only reason that it sold was because he offered a 2-1 Buydown concession without even asking us first. We were completely unaware that he had attached concessions to the sale of our home that would wind up making us pay 20K to the buyer. We were informed of the 2-1 buydown when Tyler presented us with the offer from the seller whom he claimed had sent us an offer which included a 2-1 Buydown. Which is very rare the seller uses a 2-1 Buydown to attract buyers and then winds up paying a sum of money that will be used to pay the buyer's mortgage payments for the first two years of the loan. Tyler lied to us about so many things that it's hard to know what was actually happening during the sale of our home. The lack of solid communication was stressful because we never knew what to expect next. He used our home to advertise himself, he put his sign with a photo of himself in our front window without asking our permission first. The Real Estate board's code of conduct states that realtors must have the homeowner's consent before placing any signs on the property.
By far the worst incident occurred when I was cleaning the house before the first Open House. I found several areas along the walls with mold. I immediately took photos of the mold and sent them to Tyler. He told me not to do anything and that he would call a professional to come and take care of the mold correctly. That never happened, instead and without consulting with us or getting our permission, Tyler painted over the mold and because he didn't use any tape he also painted our floors. The lack of ethics and his unprofessional conduct was enough for us to confront him and ask to be released from our contract, yes he had us sign a contract and a 90 day extension to the contract. Which would have been acceptable given the circumstances but not with Tyler. He barraded us with lies yelling that he had been working on the sale of Our home since February. Our house didn't go on the market until June 20th. We hadn't even met Tyler in February of this year, 2024. He refused to let us out of our contract in September which ended on October 31st. For the next 4 weeks we were subjected to countless showings where randoms from the internet most of which were not interested in actually buying a home. Until the last week right before the contract ended one of Tyler's realtor buddy's showed up wanting to buy our home. I try to be as fact based as possible and when a realtor that visited our home to offer some help and advice and of course pitch her services to us in the event that our house didn't sell after the contract with Tyler expired. She warned us that our home had been listed with a statement "motivated seller is willing to offer concessions." This is how I know that Tyler was lying to us. Tyler also lied to us when he said that he would hire his cleaners to clean the house after we had moved out so that it would be presentable for the walk through. Then at the last second he notified me that the cleaners were not coming and that I would be responsible for cleaning a 3 bedroom home with a patio and garage. And that once I had finished cleaning he wanted me to send photos showing that the unit was cleaned. This is our realtor the person that we paid to sell our home. I strongly suggest that if you are selling your home not to hire Tyler Martin. What I have written about In this negative review is just the tip of the iceburg I could list even more unprofessional and quite frankly weird and unprofessional behavior that made me and my family extremely upset to the level where it actually affected our health. If you value your ethics and do not engage in shady practices then look elsewhere because that's the only thing this realtor will offer you are lies and a lack of ethics. read more
