WARNING: PREDATORY PRACTICES…read more Do not engage in business with Keller Williams Prestige Properties. They are deceptive and unethical. We were in the process of purchasing a home. Upon finding a house, our realtor presented us with an "EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO REPRESENT BUYER" contract. We were told we had to sign the contract in order to move forward with the purchase of the home. Our realtor misled us to believe that if the deal on the house did not go through, we had the option to terminate the contract. The house fell through after inspections, and we reached out to our realtor to terminate the contract at which time he directed us to his broker - again implying the contract could be terminated. We reached out to the lead broker who identified himself as the Brokerage owner (owner of the Keller Williams Fairfield franchise / Broker / Operating Principal). The broker refused to terminate due to an office "policy" he himself had created - refusing to explain the reasoning or purpose of the policy. We shared that we had no visibility or knowledge of the policy ahead of signing and were led to believe there was an option to terminate - as communicated to us by the realtor and language in the contract. Throughout this exchange with the broker, he outlined options to move forward; 1) To find another realtor within his brokerage - we shared that we are no longer comfortable doing business with Keller Williams given the deceptive and unethical way in which they have handled our business, 2) We could find a realtor outside of Keller Williams then connect the broker with this individual and the broker would negotiate a referral deal/payment and give our agreement rights to the new realtor. Quite frankly, option 2 was extortive in nature. Do not do business with these folks. If you are about to sign a contract with them, get everything they tell you in writing because they will not honor their word. It means nothing to them.

I rented a property in Riverside, CT (Greenwich) last July 2021 through a Keller Williams Stamford…read morerealtor named John Valletta, who was very condescending and nasty. I had a question about the lease and he pressured me to sign quickly, because he "had so many people who wanted the apartment." Furthermore, he advertised the apartment as a 2 bedroom when one room has no windows so cannot be considered a 2 bedroom. I was desperate as I had to start a new job in a week but I will never work with him or Keller Williams again. It was not a warm experience. I'll be buying soon and would never go back to this realtor or KW.

I was relieved the apartment was rented smoothly in a timely manner. Fast forward to 2021, my precious tenant ended the lease during Pandemic. I reached out to DD again for her help. She warned me the rental market has been extremely challenging due to the pandemic and asked me to be patient. She quickly helped me to set up the rental portal and the zillow listing. To my pleasant surprise, after less than a month of showing, the unit was rented. I am sure you know that being a "remote" landlord is very challenging, especially during the pandemic, which made it impossible to travel. DD was my trusted representative through this whole rental process. She always responds to my text or email quickly, very clear in her communications, and has gone above and beyond helping me to resolve all the issues and requests came up with the apartment. DD is very skilled at handling virtual paperworks and we were able to do all the negotiations and signing remotely. I am so lucky to have DD as my realtor for my rental property. Without a doubt, she is the best agent I have worked with.

You have to complete an NTN application for a specific rental so if you are applying for more than one rental, you have to complete a form each time. You pay $39 per application and that is for each person living in the rental. While I was completing NTN's online application, I got a code error message a few times on some of the fields, meant for their webmaster. When my application report was sent to the realtor, it turns out NTN made a mistake (my monthly income was indicated at an amount I hadn't entered anywhere on the form - and it was FAR greater than my actual income which made it all look fishy). I had no access to my report before it was sent to the realtor to make sure it was correct. Trying to get it changed was a nightmare. NTN requires you to print an application to access your own report, attach more personal ID verification, mail it to them, and then they'll let you know within 14 days if you're eligible for a copy of your report. I actually talked to a lawyer. I had an IT technician look at the code errors I screenshot while filling out my form and she said NTN was using Cold Fushion by Macromedia which was about 11 years out of date. Now I'm worried that NTN has my SSN in this Cold Fushion database. My advice as a prospective renter is to avoid this real estate firm simply because they use NTN.
