Called June 21st to check on receipt of applications and fees. Was told owner of property was out of town, no decisions would be made until following week. Friday June 25th I noticed that listing has been pulled. June 28th call and inquire about listing and was told that within the past week no one at TNT had bothered to put one of my sons applications with the other 2, so we weren't even considered for property. Asked if our apps were viable for other properties and was told yes for 6 months if approved. I asked how long for approval as it had already been over a week. She said " you'll receive either a yes phone call or a no email ". Tuesday July 5th I again called to check on status of "approval". Employee ( who sounded exactly like woman I had talked to every other time) claimed she wasn't the same person I had talked to previously and that the manager needed to go over my file ( it's been 2 weeks) for approval. At this point ( while being talked over by employee) I said that I really would just like the simple answer of: is your company able to.help me find a home, yes or no? One hour ago I received my "no email " Oh forgot to mention that on June 28th I mentioned the no contact from ANYONE at their firm in over a week and that I'd appreciate some type of correspondence. TNT HAS NO INTENTION OF HELPING OR TALKING TO YOU. STAY AWAY!

I would strongly recommend exercising caution when purchasing a home listed by this agent…read more The seller moved out in November, yet the home was left filthy upon my escrow close end of Jan. After the selling agent removed a broken refrigerator the seller attempted to leave behind, I was told there was no way to clean the floor underneath it--which was absolutely not true. This was particularly frustrating considering the home had electricity, hot water, and even a closet full of cleaning supplies left by the seller, including a brand-new vacuum (see photo). Additionally, the furnace did not work when I moved in, despite the inspection report stating otherwise. The inspection process itself raised concerns, as the inspector did not allow anyone to be present. When I reported the issue, Carole said she would send someone because heat was necessary--but the person who arrived attempted to fix my hot water heater instead of the furnace. As a result, my home warranty would not cover the furnace, citing it as a pre-existing condition since it had never worked during my occupancy. Furnace pipes were cracked and the unit required replacement. HVAC company said system had to have been faulty for a minimum of two years those cracks don't happen within a few weeks or months. To make matters worse, two weeks after I moved in, an unfamiliar man showed up at my home to complete work that he claimed should have been finished prior to the close of escrow. I had never been informed this work was pending, so having a stranger unexpectedly appear at my door was both unsettling and unprofessional. The man was not a licensed professional which did not sit well with me. While I understand this realty company has been in business for some time, longevity alone should not be a deciding factor. Based on my experience, I would advise potential buyers to proceed carefully and ensure all inspections, repairs, and conditions are thoroughly inspected prior to close. The picture below is what I saw walking into my new kitchen upon move in. Also, I asked for a pile of rocks on the side of the home to be removed that never was done. Previous owners never had trash cans picked up even though I requested it be done through my agent. Responses on questions I had through my agent from the listing agent were not professional.

Blurton told me that she can't accept my offer and to call back in a month because the house I wanted to buy was supposed to be for owner occupancy. I'm black, but I have wealth and buy homes for rentals. I said that's fine because sometimes this is true and fha foreclosures sometimes only accepts offers for owner occupied homes. However, I found out that she lied when I talked to the white man who was buying the home I wanted to buy from Kathleen. Yes. Ridgecrest is a very small town, and everyone knows everyone. The white man told me that he was buying the home for a rental property and not to be owner occupied. He said Kathleen took and accepted his offer the very next day after she told me to call back in a month. All I can say is Vaughn reality is white supremacists, and Kathleen Blurton is a white supremacist. I went and bought another home in Ridgecrest all cash. Lol The white supremacists did not stop a black person from buying a home in their town. The old days of redlining black people into poor communities are over. In addition, they're opening up their business for a civil rights law suit under 42 U.S. Code § 1983. Vaughn reality needs to understand that they can't redline black people in Ridgecrest.

Working with her for almost 2 years, I can say she is only interested in her own self gain. She intermediated between a deal with a potential buyer without consent to try and dissuade the buyer because the price for her was too low, nearly ruining my mother's chance for retirement after running the business for 40 years. She is very unprofessional and will speak ill of you behind your back. She told my mother her children were USELESS! When we are the owners of the business just trying to sell the business so that my mother could retire.

When Eloy says he offered to have another agent take over (see his response on Google Review, link…read moreis crazy long to post here) he didn't mention that he wanted a referral bonus so high that no one was willing to take it over. I have talked to 4 different people and none of them are willing to do it at the price that Eloy wants to give them. I didn't mention Eloy calling to apologize for the missed calls and email because: 1) He never called-- he sent me a snarky text message, 2) The experience I recounted was the 1st time that Eloy went off the grid with no contact from him (he which he never apologized for). The experience Eloy is talking about is the 2nd time he went off the grid with no contact (his story does not make sense either because it was both me and the loan officer trying to get a hold of him...well maybe he blocked both of us). The area is slammed with house purchases so there was definitely delays on getting qualified people out to do work for both us and the seller, but those where not my problems that caused me to give Eloy a bad review. It would take to much time to go into each individual problem I had and that is not the purpose of my review. I personally had a horrible experience with Eloy as my buying agent. When I talk to people in Ridgecrest about it, I have not met many people that have had good experiences with him. I would just suggest talking to actual people (other agents, inspectors, contractors, the local realtor association) in the area before making your decision and not just going off of online reviews like we did. And just remember that with any one man shop that there is no manager, boss, or partner to turn to if you are having a bad experience.

My wife (Stacie H) wrote a review earlier about Eloy and I just had an update that I needed people…read moreto know about. When Eloy said, "I offered them an opportunity to select another agent if they wished" he did so at such a high referral bonus that no one was willing/able to take over. In order to broker a deal I promised "to hold RR harmless against past and future liabilities with regards to the transaction. In addition the buyers will amend or retract all posted reviews and ratings such that they will reflect the matter as 'satisfied amicably' or removed. Satisfied amicably will mean at least 3 stars per category." We did so and as you can see Eloy has his 3 stars. He is now demanding that I also leave"a comment that our transaction was concluded amicably" which was never part of the deal. When I told him no he would "file suit then I will record a 'lens pendens' gives notice that a legal matters is at issue and no lender or title company will close until our matter is resolved." Lis Pendens (no n) can stop the seller from selling a home, but has no effect on the buyer (which I am). I am sure that Eloy knows this and is just trying to scare me into caving. If you get anything from my review it would be to use online reviews to find your top 3 agents, but ask some local people before deciding on who you will go with. How you portray yourself online could be a lot different that in real life.

DO NOT RENT OR BUY FROM THESE ASSHOLES!…read more Timothy Jacobs is the property manager of the rental units and also happens to be the son of the owner/broker. That's the only reason he even has a job I'm sure. I rented an apartment from these idiots about a year ago and have had nothing but problems. I've had continuous water leaks, drywall damage, and mold. Instead of fixing the problem, this guy told me "I thought you were fucking with us so I wasn't taking the situation seriously". Not only was he rude, but didn't do a thing to fix the problems in my apartment. After LOTS of calls and complaints, he finally sent someone out to fix my drywall. Not to fix the water leak from upstairs, just to patch up the ceiling. The water leaks continued for months. When plumbers came out SIX MONTHS LATER to fix the leak that had spread across the ceiling of my ENTIRE apartment, they left huge holes in the walls and ceiling, exposing extreme mold. The damage and mold was still there when I vacated the unit A MONTH AFTER REPAIRS. I wrote the owner/broker (Teresa Jacobs) to inform her about the on-going situation. I also made her aware of her son's lack of professionalism. Both of which were completely ignored! These people are your typical desert slumlords. This mother-son duo are discusting, classless pigs.
