I'm a disabled retired first responder, whom has never felt so violated, disrespected and…read more disregarded by a vendor whose services I had contracted. A real estate agent and a broker from Howard Hanna Rand, came to my residence this morning, as I have been shopping for a real estate company to represent me on the sale of my residence. This was the first meeting where we were only discussing informational options on the types of services they could provide me. On arrival my ex wife told my parents, "You can leave." I was not comfortable with this and voiced my disagreement. My ex wife who is selling the house with me, teamed up with the real estate agent who proceeded to threaten to have my parents arrested for criminal trespass in my own house, since they come over and help me with my disability and so I felt comfortable with my ex wife in the house. As a disabled person, my parents are critical to my safety and daily help. To my dismay, the real estate agent insisted that my ex should call the police, to have my parents arrested and thrown out of my house. When the police arrived they informed the real estate agent and my ex, that they were unable to "throw out" my parents. They also convinced me to give them access to my children's room, but protected my lawful privacy and advised that it would be unlawful for the real estate agent and ex wife to gain access to any doors that were locked. The real estate then went through my house, taking pictures of each room and allowing my ex wife to record on her camera. I was told that they would be back to take professional pictures of the property. The real estate agent wanted access to my locked bedroom. Again I disagreed and voiced my opinion on the matter, and was ask by the agent, "What are you hiding in there? I'm here, I want to go in." Which I asked why if they were taking professional pictures did they need to go in now I could take pictures and send it to them. Instead of listening to my objection they unlocked my bedroom door and began taking pictures of my uniform and rummaged through my personal property. I would never recommend anyone to take on business with an organization that employs heartless, cold, unprofessional, disrespectful, deceitful, delusional and deeply psychologically disturbed people as was the real estate agent who visited my house this morning. Howard Hanna Rand, this man is a liability who will ruin your company and reputation for years to come. I would be happy to discuss with a representative if they reach out to me and ensure me that this gross mistreatment will be dealt with accordingly.

When I decided to sell my home, I knew that I wanted an Agent that would be extremely knowledgeable with selling homes in Orange County area.

She took the time to learn about the various selling points related to my home so that she could point them out in a positive way to each perspective client. This lead to immediate interest in the home with over ten perspective clients all submitting bids directly after viewing the home with Kichka. Kichka's strong sales skills not only led to over ten immediate offers after their perspective viewings but she helped to create such excitement for the home which led to a 25K increase in sale price over the listing price. I would also like to give credit to Christides International for doing a excellent job with all of the pictures, video's and home listing.

Not only did she manage to sell our home for more than my next door neighbor, but was able to negotiate with the buyers for LESS credit at closing the table, all while the buyers kept pushing for way more unreasonably. She helped with clean out resources, and other networks. Whenever we needed anything in the process, she was there to help and that was by far an outstanding unique quality of hers compared to others that prolong or put a dead end to real estate goals in todays horrible market.
