We were interviewing Nevada real estate agents. Jon Hughes Realty One Group Eminence, "independent Realtor" in Reno, Nevada was one of several real estate agents we contacted. Due diligence when hiring real estate agents means asking the real estate agents lots of questions and getting lots of upfront written answers from real estate agents. We read every Open House publication by the Nevada Real Estate Division at https://red.nv.gov/Content/Real_Estate/Open_House/. We did our due diligence and Jon Hughes Realty One Group Eminence, "independent Realtor" failed to adequately respond. To me, One and Two-Star Ratings are for when a business fails to do what they are in the business to do.
FIRST, this "independent Realtor" doesn't have a Veterans Discount to buyers and sellers of real estate. A publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream their sacrifices have made possible.
SECOND, this "independent Realtor" spent a lot of time telling us about his "Knowledge, Speed, Convenience, Professionalism! Security, Honesty, Dedication!" and "Straight talk, no catch. True choice to do it how you want", yet
a) he never provided us with three references,
b) he never provided us with a copy of his required State of Nevada business license (severe fine and a NRS 598 Deceptive Trade Practice if he doesn't have),
c) he never provided us with his required county business license, (a NRS 598 Deceptive Trade Practice if he doesn't have),
d) he never provided us with his required county fictitious firm name filed certificate (a crime per NRS 602.090 and a NRS 598 Deceptive Trade Practice if he doesn't have),
e) he never provided us his required city business license(s) (a crime and a NRS 598 Deceptive Trade Practice if he doesn't have),
f) he never provided us with a copy of his personal or vehicle liability insurance in the event someone was injured while he was driving a buyer or showing a house,
g) he never provided us a copy of his agreement with his real estate broker in the event someone was injured while he was driving a buyer or showing a house,
h) he never provided us with a copy of his required State of Nevada real estate license, (a NRS 598 Deceptive Trade Practice if he doesn't have), and
i) he immediately emailed us MLS-bot listings that bragged, "new hot water heater", "new roof", new addition", "new furnace", "new a/c", "new hot tub", "new electrical", "new plumbing", yet there is no record of these improvement boasts having the required city or county permit(s) which is a clear safety, health and habitability issue to any buyer. (All permits are a matter of public record and easily looked up.)
I really dislike it when a business leaves me no choice but to leave a negative review. First, because I have to write this distasteful review instead of the glowing reviews I prefer and second, because this business put my family and I through such a distasteful experience. We don't recommend Jon Hughes Realty One Group Eminence, "independent Realtor". read more
