I hired Alice Cooper as my real estate agent. I was living out of town prior to purchasing the…read moreproperty and was in the process of moving back to the area. I saw a beautiful looking foreclosure for sale that was listed at a very reasonable price. I told Alice to make an offer on the property even though I was out of town due to the fact that I would be able to cancel the contract based on the home inspection report. Once we signed the contract on the property Alice seemed no longer interested to serve me as a client. I had not yet done a walkthrough of the property and I was unable to make my home inspection due to my work schedule. I asked Alice to attend my inspection and to please report to me any undesirable findings. Following the inspection Alice stated that she did not notice anything of concern and that the house was beautiful. The only major finding in the inspection report was that the water heated needed to be replaced. Replacing a water heater is an easy fix so I decided to move forward with the sale. However, as closing approached I was already moved back to the area and had begun working for my company. I was renting a room from a friend and my household items were in storage as I awaited to move into my new home. A few weeks leading to closing I had contacted Alice several times regarding a walkthrough of the property. Every time I told her I had a day off she would give me an excuse as to why she could not meet me for a walkthrough. The excuse was always that she was too busy that day with other clents. Well, what about this client, Alice? I had hired you and we already had a property on contract and you were soon to make a commission check off my sale. I find it very discourteous that a realtor who just made thousands of dollars off of me was unwilling to give me a walkthrough of my property. A few weeks passed and the closing date arrived. Alice of course was too busy to do a final walkthrough with me. A final walkthrough is a standard practice in a real estate transaction. Based off the pictures, Alice's review, and the inspection report I foolishly decided to sign the closing documents. Time came to move into the house and the first time I entered the house I was the owner. As soon as I opened the door the first time I noticed a significant issue with the house. Upon inspection it was much worse than I had hoped. I don't want to go into detail about the issue but it was significant enough to where I had to sell all of my furniture, move all of my clothes and other items out of the house, and relocate to Orlando for work. I have been living with a close friend for the past year plus, all the while paying a mortgage on a property that I have been unable to live in. I recently sold the property but it took me over one year of full time work and thousands of dollars to rid the house of this particular issue. I renovated the house top to bottom and received close to 25,000 dollars on the sale so in the end I won, but it came at the expense of having to sell or throw away most of what I own, relocate for work, and having to live with someone else for over a year while still having to pay a full mortgage on an unlivable property. I find it strange how Alice did not notice this particular issue with the house. I only had to crack the front door open to notice it. It only got worse while inspecting the rest of the house. Everyone who visited my house noticed the issue immediately and did not wish to stay long. What's even more strange is that Alice kept blowing me off to do a walkthrough. She failed to provide me with a walkthrough on an unlivable house yet tells me that the house is beautiful. That seems a bit strange doesn't it? I'm sure Alice had no idea that the house had such a significant issue and wasn't intentionally blowing me off knowing I would cancel the sale. I'm sure she wasn't just waiting for that commission check. That's not what it was, right, Alice? My home inspector is a whole other issue, but both the inspector and Alice are protected from lawsuits by their contracts and they know it. Adams Cameron realty is just as guilty. They hired Alice to represent them. I contacted the office manager and requested that someone from their office come to my property to inspect the issue first hand to validate my claims. I also informed them that Alice refused to give me a walkthrough of the property prior to closing. The officer manager failed to have anyone visit my property and she defended Alice stating that she has known her for almost twenty years and that she would never do anything like that. Well, she did. I lost over one year of my life. All of 2017 and the first half of 2018 were an absolute nightmare for me simply because Alice Cooper refused to work for the best interest of her client. Alice Cooper was seeking her own interest. Alice Cooper is an absolute disgrace as a real estate agent and a disgrace as a human being. She should hold her head in shame.

The 10% are the exceptional, outstanding agents, those agents that not only are knowledgeable, but caring and want to do the work and do right by their clients. After hiring Leah to sell my property at 1602 E. Washington Ave. Eustis, I had to place her in a very unique 3% category. Not only is she knowledgeable in the industry, but she cares deeply about her clients and their properties. Leah has an excellent & strong work ethic, detailed, informative, goes out of her way to make any situation less problematic even at her expense, extremely ethical (very hard to find in this industry), vibrant personality and easy to work with. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and those fortunate enough to have Leah Laboy as their agent would know...she has their back! Thank you Leah for everything!!
