Better service at McDonalds…read more We did receive an offer in five weeks, however agent stopped representing me upon receipt of offer. 16 moths after the sale I still have not received all of the monies due me from this sale. There have been multiple issues during the sale and now after the sale. Garrett Rothman ignored all of my questions, was unable to answer questions which I later found out the answers were standard language contained in the sales agreement, Garrett Rothman didn't know. He has sold a lot of properties, however as he said 'my wife would say I'm not very good with the details' that is not what you want from a realtor. 16 months later I now question the legality of this sale. With every problem post closing Garrett Rothman would deny any responsibility, and ultimately blamed me, he the 'professional realtor'? Garrett rothman refused to lower the price, Garrett Rothman NEVER answers any questions after receipt of a contract. Garrett Rothman isn't even aware of the standard language in a sales agreement. Garrett rothman is the agent on record for RSR Realtors, meaning he is responsible for his agents and agency, he is also in house council for RSR meaning he is an attorney. The buyers agent was also a RSR agent, and Garrett Rothman allowed the same staff member to contact both buyer and seller which is a clear conflict of interest, to allow one person to represent both the buyer and seller. Garrett Rothman gave away money I did not authorize, Garrett Rothman ignored my multiple requests to communicate to the buyer the need for the propane service to be transferred into their name, which he never did, costing me hundreds of dollars and half a day having the service disconnected. Garrett Rothman's agent arrived early for the walk through, while I still had the right to be home, during the walk through the buyers realized there was no propane service, and Garrett Rothman permitted them to have propane service installed without my knowledge or permission, this put the entire deal in jeapordy as it is unlawful for a realtor to take possession of a sellers property prior to closing. again Garrett Rothman denied responsibility, offered to pay me the fees associated with removal of a filled propane bottle, however he never compensated me. I have had better service at McDonalds, I paid Garrett Rothman more than I have ever paid anyone for a service and he failed on every front. He is great at gaining your trust but as his wife would say 'bad with the details' in a complex real estate deal the details matter, Garrett Rothman's inability to handle the details has created numerous problems all of which cost me thousands of dollars. This Is the worst experience of my life. Garrett Rothman's refusal to assist me with all the issues after the sale is diapicable. Always has excuses, he had no problem giving my money away during the process and had no problem costing me thousands in lost time from my business, and I'm still waiting for all the monies due me from the sale of this property. Just because he sells a lot of homes doesn't make him a great realtor, it means he ignores all his responsibilities to his client, in an effort to sell more. Slow down Garrett Rothman pay attention to the details, answer your clients questions, your fiduciary responsibility is to represent your clients, make sure we know what our responsibilities are, and please make sure the legal documents you have us sign are accurate and without error. Mind you this was a high end home, $350k. And I've been treated better buying a used car. Do not choose RSR Realtors or Garrett Rothman.

Fred was very helpful to us since we were First time Home Buyers. Fred was very patient and spent a great deal of time working with us to make sure we were happy.

If you want to be sold a house don't call Fred, but if you want someone to help you find the house you really will be happy in, Fred is your man.

The realtor I ended up hiring was an "associate" of Josh Clouser and I must say he was one of the…read moreworst ever. I have sold many homes and rental properties and worked with many realtors, some good, some bad. The guy I had from this office was Alex Schwartz and he was beyond bad. He was peculiar, he did not have the ability to write above a 3rd grade level, his tactics were just the worst and toward the end of our 6 month contract period, he wanted me to cut my selling price an incredible amount, because he said he was worried if it did not sell he would not make his commissions. To make matters worse, after the end of our contract period, I put some effort into listing our property on social media, only to see him make posts on my posts tearing the property down and saying he "was the former listing agent for this property and good luck selling it, you will need it, ha, ha." I have never seen anything like this in my life. Do yourself a favor, avoid this agency at all costs!

We flew in for a quick search in March 2016 not knowing anything about the real estate market here. She gave us a crash course in locations and value. After our initial offers weren't accepted she kept working with me long distance and we actually bought a house that she found and I only saw through photos and Facetime. But I trusted her and loved the house when we returned to PA for closing. She kept my anxiety down and resolved issues along the way. This lady knows her business and I highly recommend her.

Worth Every Penny- Experience, Expertise and Service That Made the Difference. We had an excellent…read moreexperience working with Jerry Riggleman and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home. From the beginning, Jerry was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and very straightforward with us. Jerry's commission was a little higher than some of the other options we considered, but after going through the entire process, we can honestly say he was well worth the extra premium. His experience, knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and guidance throughout the sale gave us the confidence we had made the right choice. He did an excellent job marketing our property, communicating with us, handling the offers, and guiding us through the many details from listing through closing. Whenever we had a question or concern, Jerry was available and took the time to explain our options rather than simply telling us what to do. Selling a home you have owned for many years can be stressful and emotional, and having an experienced realtor who stays on top of everything makes a tremendous difference. Jerry worked hard for us, represented our interests well, and helped make the entire transaction go as smoothly as possible. For Jerry, it was not just a sale or listing, but a caring relationship putting people above the listing. You felt that you made a good friend who really cares about you personally and always had your back by the end of the transaction. We are extremely pleased with the job Jerry did for us. Sometimes paying a little more for experience and quality service really does pay off. and in our case it absolutely did. We would choose Jerry again without hesitation. When you really need someone on your side representing you, why have a public defender when you can have a Perry Mason!

Ron and Mike make a great team!…read more We were in town just checking out the York/Hershey area since my husband got a job offer and we had literally just two half days to search for potential homes. We had originally been dealing with Ron but he brought Mike in too due to our time constraints. They worked around our schedule and strategically planned each showing so we weren't wasting time traveling back and forth. They also kept up to date on each listing so that we could cross a few off the list that suddenly went under contract. They listened to what we liked and didn't like at each showing so that we were able to further narrow down what we were really looking for and cross a few more off the list that didn't sound like they would work for us. I also appreciated their no-nonsense approach especially in dealing with a selling agent at a model home that was trying to put the hard sell on us and taking up a lot of time. Before our flight home even landed they located a house that met every single one of our parameters, and we had some tricky ones (At least 4 bedrooms, master on the main floor, no HOA, at least half an acre, in a town that is zoned for pet pigs!) We ultimately decided on relocating to a different state and decided not to buy in PA after all. However, should things change and we end up back in that area, we would immediately reach back out to Ron and Mike to help us find our dream home.

Extremely Poor Communication and Ethical Concerns with Thomas Stewart of Cavalry Realty…read more I encountered significant challenges and frustrations during my attempt to purchase a property listed by Thomas Stewart of Cavalry Realty. The experience was marked by miscommunication, lack of transparency, and unfulfilled commitments, ultimately resulting in financial loss and wasted time. Below is a detailed account of the events: Nov 10, 2024: Viewed a property listed for $209,900. Nov 11, 2024: Submitted an offer $6,000 above asking price with contingencies (price escalation, inspection, and mortgage). Nov 12, 2024: The seller's agent, Thomas Stewart, informed my buyer's agent that the inspection contingency was an issue and insisted we complete the inspection that evening, citing urgency due to a "final offer" from the bank. I quickly arranged for an inspection and updated my offer accordingly. Nov 19, 2024: Received notice that the bank requested "final offers" by Thursday. Nov 20, 2024: After confirming with my agent that additional offers were allowed, I submitted a higher bid, making it the top offer. Nov 26, 2024: My agent communicated that I had the highest bid, and I was informed via text that I would soon receive paperwork confirming acceptance. This was corroborated by an email from Thomas Stewart indicating that my offer had been accepted. Nov 27, 2024: Upon request, I was granted permission to enter the property to take measurements for flooring and appliances in preparation for Black Friday purchases. Nov 28, 2024: Based on the understanding that my offer was accepted, I purchased flooring and appliances. Nov 26 - Dec 5, 2024: Followed up multiple times regarding the sales agreement, but Thomas Stewart consistently failed to respond via phone and only communicated sporadically via email. Dec 11, 2024: My agent informed me that the bank now preferred cash offers to close by year-end, despite previous indications that my offer was accepted. I attempted to accommodate by offering either a maximum mortgage-based bid or a competitive cash offer, but no negotiation occurred. Dec 12, 2024: Was informed that the bank chose another offer. My agent's requests for clarification from Thomas Stewart went unanswered. This experience has been deeply disappointing. While I understand the competitive nature of real estate transactions, the lack of clear communication and transparency throughout this process was unacceptable. Decisions were made based on representations that my offer was accepted, leading to unnecessary financial and emotional strain. I strongly urge potential clients to exercise caution when dealing with Cavalry Realty. Clearer communication, more ethical practices, and greater accountability are sorely needed to avoid situations like this in the future.
