They filed an eviction through court and I still continued to pay rent. By the time we got to court, they dismissed it because I was caught up. However, Tom decided to charge me attorney fees of $500. In which, I decided not pay it because the case was dismissed. I moved out in February 2021 with $0 balance. I cleaned the place and took pictures. Fast forward to 2024, they sent a $2000 bill to collections. I was furious! For one, I left without a balance, paid a $900 "non refundable move in fee," and they NEVER contacted me about this alleged balance. I went to the collection agency to ask for a print out. When I received it, he charged me "late fees" on that petty $500 "attorney fee." How the heck is that even legal!!! I called their office immediately, and of course never did I receive a response. I plan to continue to fight this! stay away from this company!!

He appeared to be very unprofessional with me when I question things and things I did not agree with. This is not my first time buying a home so I do understand thing. I've never had this type of experience with any other realtor ever. He also stated to me that I always know everything. He was just nasty at times. A true narcissist avoide if you want your sanity.

***Dual Agent Scam***…read more Laura and Tom Zarembski represented a seller in a deal; convinced him to accept a sub-par offer with risky contingencies solely to double their commission. They are causing their seller to take very large, potentially costly and time consuming risks. I don't fault anyone for wanting to make additional money, but they are very unethical. They have engaged in very shady tactics that will certainly be reported to the Rockford Area Association of Realtors, and I'm considering a suit against their seller (although I believe the seller is not being given full and accurate information). Ultimately, they undermined a signed contract between their seller and me so they could represent a different buyer - giving theirselves both sides of the commission. I had no contingencies, proof of financing, and a quick close was certain - AT THE SELLER's ASKING PRICE - full price. Zero Credibility Zarembski convinced their seller to accept an offer from "their buyer" who has a home sale contingency and no financing secured. That deal has a high potential to fall through. Very stupid move Zarembski.
