WARNING: Do Not Trust John Fravel or The Fravel Group My…read moreexperience with John Fravel and The Fravel Group has been a repeated nightmare. This man operates with deceptive, unethical, and manipulative tactics that no honest buyer should ever be subjected to. I've now dealt with him on two land purchases, and both times he pulled the same dishonest bait-and-switch strategy that should raise red flags for anyone considering doing business with him. In 2024, I pursued a property that was clearly listed as having "no restrictions." I signed a contract under those terms. Then, after the contract was in place, John came back and said the sellers would not proceed unless I accepted a restriction of "no more than 2 mobile homes." This wasn't a negotiation--it was an ultimatum. He retroactively changed the terms and backed me into a corner, effectively forcing me to accept conditions that were never disclosed upfront. Now in 2025, he's done it again--to me and others. Buyer Jacob Kidd fell victim to the same bait-and-switch scam. The listing on Jacob's property said "no mobile home park," but after closing, the deed revealed a much stricter clause: "no more than 2 mobile or manufactured homes." This is a calculated pattern--not a one-off mistake. Currently, I'm in the middle of a second purchase with John. The land was listed for $95,000 with "light restrictions" that only mentioned no mobile/manufactured home parks. I offered the full asking price. John rejected it, then came back demanding $100,000--and once again, the restrictions changed after the fact to "no more than 2 mobile or manufactured homes." It's a repeat of the same sleazy game, and it's clear this is how he does business. Let me be blunt: John Fravel is not an honest broker. His methods are underhanded, immoral, and in my opinion, a direct violation of what a licensed real estate agent should be allowed to do. If you are forced to deal with him for any reason, do not go in unrepresented. You absolutely need a qualified buyer's agent who can protect your interests and challenge the deceptive practices that John and his group rely on. Without proper representation, you're a target for manipulation. In my opinion, John Fravel operates like a predatory used car salesman--only in real estate, the damage runs far deeper. Do yourself a favor: approach with extreme caution, document everything, and never sign a single page without having your own agent and legal backup. He is not someone you want to trust with your money or your property rights.

They were extremely prompt in relaying necessary information and communicating with me throughout the process. I never had to wait and wonder what was going on in my process which was very nice. They even were able to help me compare some different lending options which was really helpful. They were great and if I were to buy or sell a home, this is the group I would most definitely use in the future. Very grateful.

I had the best experience with realtor Tyler Hudzik from the Gallo Company through the process of selling my house. He was very diligent about answering calls, helping with questions and concerns, and connecting me with people who could help out. Tyler walked me through the process always explaining every aspect of it. When Tyler was away, his partner, Anthony Gallo, was there to pick up where Tyler left off and assist, and answer all the questions I had. They both provided guidance and advise, when appropriate, and shared their expertise. Tyler and Anthony, were very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous I would highly recommend Tyler and the Gallo Company to anyone wanting to buy or sell a house. You will not be disappointed.

He was way more knowledgeable and professional than any agent we've dealt with before. He gave us great insight into timing and pricing, which definitely helped when we were evaluating the market.

Rupesh is super friendly, tech-savvy, and genuinely cares--even when there's no commission involved. We'll absolutely use him if we buy or sell again, and we already tell everyone we know that he's our guy.
