Our story line involves shingle siding that was punctured during power washing, The washing was in preparation for painting. We have holes in the siding and we were not painted. The rest of the community was done. Repeated calls and e-mails to Hillcrest Management are either not acknowledged or we get a generic reply but nothing is done. This is a classic case of you get what you pay for.

You buy a property, gut it, and less than a month later (without renos mind you) you put it up for sale $250k more than your purchase price. Make it make sense. The most you should ask for is the purchase price you paid plus demo price. Whoever your agent is in charge of that property is also difficult to work with. He doesn't let anyone get a word out to have a normal human being conversation. Won't go near your agency with a 10 ft pole.

Wanted to look at an house and received the following message from the Realtor at John Greene…read more There is an up front fee of $50 to setup the viewing of the house, and a 3.5% buyers commission (non negotiable if you put in an offer) that a contract must be signed prior to viewing the house. While I understand the laws have changed around buyers commission and sellers commission fee, the percentage requested up front is more than the average commission received by sellers today... usually it's 6% total (buyer/seller) and 1% goes to the sellers company, and selling realtor gets 2.5% to 3.0% and buying realtor gets 2.0% to 2.5%. Even then everything should be negotiable between the buyer/seller which is what the law was changed to mean.. Would not recommend anyone deal with Amanda from John greene Realtor.

Called and they assured us it would be fixed by 3:00. Called prior to moving in and we were told it was fixed and everything was cleaned. We moved in all our things including groceries. However, in the morning we discovered the toilet had leaked all over the livingroom and into the dining area. FHS was non responsive and actually rude. We had to move to a different place (NOT FHS). Had to pack up everything we had just moved into this house. Then FHS took our security deposit which is against the Airbnb rules...then they refused to return the deposit. Finally got it back after contacting Airbnb. This is a very shady company.

I especially am referencing agent Hui Li. My wife and I were out of town and specifically told our listing agent that we couldn't accommodate any showings for the weekend.

My dogs could have KILLED you and your clients. Are you really that stupid??? You are a moron of the highest degree!!! By no means are you or anyone who you represent will ever be allowed in my house, EVER!!!! Do you understand me?!?!?! You broke trust with your dishonest practices. You should lose your real estate license, if you even have one. Prove to us you do! I would advise anyone out there to stay away from this lady. No smart at all and a liar. She's looking out for her bottom line without any regard for the safety of her clients. Don't say I didn't warn you.

D.R. Horton Complain Hi everyone,…read more Got a D.R Horton Single family house in Greenbriar division - Plainfield, IL October 2023. I need your help! I'm trying to escalate an issue that's affecting many houses in our area, and I need to reach the right people. If you have any email addresses for local officials, DR Horton representatives, or anyone else who might be able to help, please share them with me. False advertising for themselves. EVERY state they have built in there has been major lawsuits and complaints for faulty construction, inferior products used, not honoring their warranties etc. Customers who have bought new homes from D.R. Horton are dealing with massive problems. They feel unsafe in their own homes and the issues are taking a huge financial toll. On top of that, the builder has been unresponsive to homeowners' concerns. The lack of communication and accountability have caused homeowners to become fed up. Submitted 1 year warranty in October 2024 and nobody reached out for 2 months and got lost. Spoke to Sales office and made me do a new request in December warranty person changed to someone called Mark and he reached out. January they addressed few issues but not all. The nail pops were done but not the paint touch-ups and caulking counters when all my neighbors got it in 1 year warranty. They saying it's not in contract when you signed so they won't. Mark had me reached out to his boss Mike who been constantly dodging our calls numerous times since a month. Still have not called me back. Fully expect by the time they return my call it will definitely be out of warranty. Still the paint touch-ups and caulking need to be done, the landscaping had no flowers since we bought the house and that is also not addressed, the gutter had been wrongly placed next to the front porch which made a huge hole in the ground. Uneven ceiling in kitchen might be a leak, upstairs floor creaking. You better have your phone set to record when you enter the sales office. They will tell you just about anything to have you sign the contract and a good portion of it won't be correct. Record them! Our sales person said nail pops, touchups and caulking will be covered in 1 year warranty. Will never by another DR Horton home. There have been lists and lists of touchups. If I could go back, I would have never bought this home. It is so disappointing. We thought buying new construction was the safe route, keeping us free from issues/repairs at least for the first few years. That has not been the case.

We had recommendations for several realtors from neighbors and friends, but Barbara impressed us with her answers, and ultimately we are very glad we went with her! Not just for the insight and experience she brought (for example, when we were crafting an offer), but also her relationships with other realtors, and also the excellent recommendations she supplied for various vendors (attorney, mortgage broker, movers, inspectors; in the case of the movers; they get so much business from her that they gave us a discount!) Home buying and selling is generally a stressful experience, but with Barbara's experience and advising it was as smooth as possible. We have already recommended her to others!
