When you are selling your house you want someone "SELLING" your house. Jockeying phones, pressing…read morethe flesh...a salesman! A hunter, not a fisherman. Someone that does more than just unlocking the door and letting the prospective buyer roam free. I did not find that here. What I did find was an agent who was out of touch with the power of the Internet. A guy who acted like he owed me money every time I'd call him up. A guy who didn't think it was worth telling me that he was also going to be trying to sell his own home 200 yds from mine. A salesman that has lost that A.B.C. attitude (Always Be Closing, for those who are not Glengarry, Glenn Ross fans) and with the exception of telling me I should paint the trim of my house (something I was doing anyway) his main selling point was asking me to drop the asking price $20k below it's market value. I know these are tough times, but this began well before the bottom fell out and when I found he had posted his home on Craigslist and not mine or any other of his clients I knew his attentions were focused else where. I know it's just CL, but when I want someone to sell my house, I want them to sell "MY" house....

Mark Weller at Main Street Realty rocks. When my wife and I began looking at houses in South…read moreJersey, we contacted Main Street and were directed to Mark, who's been doing this for 10 years and who knows the area well. After getting some basic info from us, he sent us a listing of about 50 homes so he could figure out exactly what kind of property we were looking for. This helped us to get a good idea of what kind of properties were available in the Collingswood and Haddon Township area. After a few weeks, when we were getting a feel for what was out there, we saw a listing we really liked. After seeing the place and liking it as much in person as in the photos, Mark helped us put a bid in and negotiate with the seller from hundreds of miles away. After we came to an agreement on the price, he helped us get things together like a house inspection, which he went to for us because we couldn't be there, and paperwork for the title. Overall it was great having Mark work on our behalf while we were unable to be in New Jersey, and he was always happy to talk on the phone to discuss any aspect of the process. It's always great to be able to use a local business for something like this, and we were very happy to work with someone who made the process as not-crappy as possible.

I've waited awhile to post this review because I've been so angry about it for the last, almost, 2…read moreyears. We first met Katie at a home we were interested in. She seemed so knowledgeable about the house and the entire process that we felt we found a great realtor. We were also told that we were obligated to buy a house from the realtor who showed it to us... Anyway, we were fine with that at the time. We were then pushed off to a different realtor named Carla. She seemed fine so, again, not a big deal. We found our dream house and were SO excited to put a bid on it. When we did, it was quickly denied as they wanted their asking price. So I asked that we put back in a counter offer and we were told not to waste our time. Since this was our first home, I wasn't sure if this was normal or not but I trusted her. She quickly pushed us to a house that was new on the market and being sold by the owner who had flipped it. It wasn't in the best of neighborhoods but still in the school district we wanted to be in. We were told if we wanted it we had to make an offer asap bc the owner "wanted to sell to a family like us"; which in retrospect seems weird since he had no idea who we were and Carla seemed to know him well already. We put an offer in and it was very quickly accepted. Our inspector came and noted a bunch of things that needed fixing and also mentioned that since the house is old, we needed to get the pipe from the house to the street checked. The seller insisted that was unnecessary because it was brand new as well as all of the plumbing in the house. Now, this was our first house. We had no idea what a seller's disclosure was. We assumed our realtors had our backs and were on our side. Maybe others are, but Carla and Katie are not. We didn't get one, nor were we told we wouldn't be getting one. They just wanted the commission so they could be done. At our final walk-through, none of what we asked the seller to do was done. Carla nor Katie seemed to be bothered by this. In fact, the seller insisted these were things we could do on our own; like fix the windows that kept falling. We looked to the professionals we hired and at no point did they insist the seller take care of business. We signed and we got our house... We were happy until we realized every time we would take a shower, water went into the "water-proofed" basement. We called the plumber and he said it's either because the drains are clogged or because of the cracked pipe. When we asked him to explain, we found out that the seller lied to us about the pipe being brand new. It's a $16,000 fix and we never would have bought this house had we known. Why didn't we know?? Because there was no seller's disclosure... So here we are... stuck in a house that will eventually cost us a lot of money and all Carla and Katie wanted was this sale to be over so they could have their commission. When confronted about this, it was blown off as we knew about all of this. WE WERE FIRST TIME HOME-BUYERS!! Oh and to add insult to injury, the house we REALLY wanted sold for less than we offered. So to Carla and Katie, we trusted you both and you screwed us. I have told every single person I know that talks about buying or selling to stay away from your company. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
