Let me start out by saying this was a nightmare We were the…read morebuyers of a home that this subhuman agent (Judith "Judy" Albert) was selling. From the minute we placed an offer on this home it was a disastrous experience. Even my agent questioned her motive and behavior. She treated us like we were animals. Unrealistic behavior and unprofessional at its best. It was mind blowing on how much this agent was incompetent and reckless. I will start a formal complaint today with the NY State department of licensure to have disciplinary action taken on her.

I would like to begin by saying that I typically do not write reviews as they, in my opinion, are…read morepreempted by extreme elation for a particular venue, or, in my case, a situation in which I was left speechless. My wife and I currently relocated to the Hudson Valley on short notice and we needed to find temporary housing rather quickly. We had two requirements: a 6 month lease and a house that accepted our two dogs (a Australian Sheppard and a Husky). We skimmed the internet for various places and our first call was to RE/MAX Benchmark Realty agent Sheila Selvage. We explained to her our requirements and as we discussed the property that we had found, Sheila stated that she had a property that would better ft our needs. Sheila explained that this particular property was in a beautiful neighborhood that was safe and, above all, had a nice fenced in yard for our two dogs. I will say that my wife and I did not have the opportunity to actually view the property as we lived six hours away and could not find the time (so, we are partly to blame for the results). Move-in day: My wife and I were particularly excited to see our new property until we actually saw the property. I will describe it like this: It is not a place that you would want your daughter to live. We were supposed to meet Sheila at 2:30pm; she was 30 minutes late and the first thing that came out of her mouth when we met here was this: "Hi! How are you? You do have my check, right?" I should have known then. We have now been in this home for roughly six weeks and we have had nothing but issues. We have no fenced in yard for the dogs which has led to neighbor complaints. We do not have heat in the majority of the home. The majority of the home is covered in mold, dust, and grime. The windows do not close properly so we have a nice breeze throughout the home (remember, its been snowing for three days now). For the first month, we did not have a washer as the pump was broken by the previous tenant. Anyway, Sheila did not disclose any of this to us prior to us moving in. I am not a Realtor, but I do know that Realtors do have a fiduciary responsibility to those whom they represent. In my opinion, Sheila failed to meet her fiduciary responsibilities in our case. Heres the kicker: I called Sheila to voice my concerns and Sheila went straight into defensive mode, defending herself and her actions. As the discussion becomes more intense, and I ask Sheila where the fence was and she says "it used to be there, maybe someone took it", I questions here integrity. Then she proceeds to hang up on me right after stating that she has nothing more to say. Point of the story: I would not refer anyone to Sheila Selvage. I am positive that the overall Benchmark Realty group are wonderful, Sheila is not. Sheila took us for a nice ride and told us exactly what we needed to hear. It worked. We handed over $1550 to Sheila and she went her merry way regardless of whether she did right for someone who put their trust in her. In conclusion, I would like to be known that I hold myself partly responsible as I did not make the trip to see the home. Time did not allow for this. So, yes, I am partly to blame. But I put my trust in a local professional and trusted that she would do right by her newest client. I was terribly wrong.

Specifically: - We were living 100 miles away from where we were buying, and she was so accommodating with scheduling sometimes 7 showings in one day for us since she knew coming up to town wasn't easy for us. - We initially weren't 100% sure of the exact town we wanted to end up in, so in the beginning she was happy to show us around houses in Garrison, Cold Spring, Beacon, and the surrounding areas. She never made us feel like a nuisance or inconvenience. - She was super knowledgable - everything from "you'd want to ask an inspector about this boiler" to general town information to the specifics of the home-buying process. She also provided us with contact info for some local professional services, but was not "salesy" in doing so. All of her tips felt genuine with no pressure. - She was very patient and positive. The home we landed on was a renovation in-progress, so the process from contract to closing was a bit long and complicated. But she stayed dedicated, available, and helpful every step of the way. She went to the town several times to check on documentation, contacted sellers many times for progress updates to share, and informed us of important info we should ask about from our lawyer. She even checked in on us after closing to make sure we were settling in comfortably. All together, Leslie from Houlihan Lawrence made buying our first home much simpler and more enjoyable than we had expected and we are so grateful to her! Attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and empathetic... we highly recommend any buyers/sellers work with her.

In good faith we signed a 6 month contract with Mrs. Schweitzer in the hopes that she would help us sell our home for a fair price in a reasonable amount of time. During this time period Mrs. Schweitzer was extremely condescending and rude to us as clients and was putting unnecessary pressure on us to sell for well below market value. Also, during this time, one of our neighbors was reported to the local town authorities for building violations that he claims happened as soon as the 'for sale' sign went up on our property, said neighbor had to tear down two structures on his property which cost him thousands of dollars...interesting coincidence since we have been living here for 9 years and never had any issues with the structures on his property and would have never reported that to anyone. We mind our own business. This experience has left us in a much stressed state as we feel emotionally abused by this realtor. I don't recommend anyone use this company for their real estate needs. Thank you.
