Complete incompetence! Accepted an offer on our condo from a client of Christie Long. Terms included 4 week close. We informed them immediately and repeatedly that financing in our bldg could only be done by one bank, and to start the process with them immediately. Ms Long didn't seem to be able to grasp the concept, and despite us trying to get help from her managing broker, she still had her client trying to get financing from a bank who would not loan on the building. The day of the inspection objection(2 weeks after offer acceptance,) Ms Long informed us that they "hadn't picked an inspector yet." For real. That's what she said. On the actual day of the inspection deadline! Additionally, they let us know that they (GASP!) couldn't get financing through their bank, and would have to start over using the one we had been telling them to use all along! They ACTUALLY wanted us to extend, making our 4 week close into a TEN WEEK CLOSE! Because of the agent's total incompetence in assisting her client in setting up financing, and even something as simple as setting up an inspection! Someone a week out of real estate school should be able to handle that. Luckily, we had multiple backup offers, because we already set up a 1031 exchange into another property, and Ms Long's little circus could have cost us the entire deal. I would not recommend this agent or this brokerage to anyone who needs their real estate deal to be professional or efficient. Nor would I ever accept an offer from them on another property. They are unprofessional, incompetent, and could cost you. read more
