Called regarding listed property in my area…read more It had been uninhabited, neglected, unmowed, has an unsecured fence and untreated pool since spring. The rep dismissed my concerns and basically told me I was free to mow the property. Just awful lack of service and rude response. As a neighborhood, we've endured this blight for months. This office doesn't care about the neighborhood. When I called the village I was advised they had a similar response. Why not won't remove your sign? It's an awful PR look to have your sign on such a neglected eyesore. Is this an indication of your culture and sense of professionalism? I'd give zero stars if that was an option.

Also he had sent me text messages to people like me buying a home make him drink. The home just barely appraised out for what I purchased it for and I'm still the bad guy. 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.
