Jason Mann was our agent of choice for selling our house in Canyonville. We requested a list price of $320,000.00. Jason said "This house would sell for $260,000.00, and we should list ti to sell". We countered and settled for listing it at $280,000.00. Two days later we had two offers, but for some reason went for the first offer as per Jason's recomendation.
They offered $270,000.00 and we would pay all of the buyers closing cost. We countered at $275,000.00 and no closing cost, they recounted with full asking price of $280,000.00 and we pay all of the buyers closing cost. We agreed.
Turns out the buyer was a tenant or owner of Jason's mothers house. Moving forward we asked for a 45day escrow, and all parties agreed. Inspections were waived, however the buyers appraisal was necessary. The appraisal was lowballed at $260,000.00, which was surprising. We demanded more comps that were relevant in size, age of home, and similar upgrades. They allowed a five day period which expired prior to being used. So we were stuck with the appraisal.
The escrow was pushed back 3 times and because Jason told us that the buyers had no place to live, we agreed to rent the buyer our home until the close of escrow. The rent monies would be added to the net proceeds at final closing.
The day of closing was here , and we asked Jason if the rent monies were include in the net proceeds in our favor. He said" No, we used that money for the down payment". We then told Jason that was not per agreement, and that the deal would be rescinded if the money was not added to our net profits.
Finally he realized we were serious about the agreement, and it was resolved two days later.
What we took from our experience with Jason Mann Realty, was that Jason didn't care about us. When we first met him we expressed our needs for a rental to gap our lease termination, and possible interest in purchasing more homes. He not only ignored our needs for a rental, he also put very little effort in showing us prospective homes to buy. read more
