Tony is the best broker I can ask for. Answers the phone any time of day if I have a question.

Everyone is looking forward to own his/her first house in their life, so am I. But the experience that worked with real estate agent Nicolas Zhao（license＃ 02010532） is a nightmare to say the least. It's an utterly disaster . Can you image? I was waiting for seller agent to give me the new house key, and then picking up the dog poo in the backyard. At the same time, Nicolas Zhao is having his vacation in China with his family without any notice. The seller agent was amazed that he just "disappeared" during the closing and almost laughed how un-professional can a realtor be. He said, "It is un-imaginable that he just left you and went on vacation during the closing of this property." 1) As a realtor, he barely takes any responsibility. a. Went on vacation without notifying me before the house closing. When the house closed, I was not able to connect to Zhao. I later found the fact from his post in WeChat moments(#1 popular socia median in China) and realized that he is on the flight in China to take the vacation. Afterwards, he claimed everyone needs to take the vacation. I don't need to tell you. ( Wechat screenshot attached, if you can read Chinese ) b. House is in very bad condition. He asked seller agent to give me house key on the weekend after closing. When I open the door, the entire house is dirty and smelly (screenshot attached ). Seller is super confused to tell me that this is his first time to hand a key to the buyer in his past 20 years realtor career. c. Never ever gave a customer-oriented suggestion. His job is just to close the deal asap and get the commission. I requested to take a look of my house before closing because I would like to make sure everything is on the fair condition, and he said the seller is living inside, you can not take a look until you escrow all the money to the title company. d. He never suggests me to do the house inspection before close. I spent two months to fix the house nightmare and it costs me almost 20k since he didn't suggest me to do the house inspection. His reason is that I am saving you money. The reality is, the house cannot close that soon should I choose the inspection. ( list attached ) And it could have saved me much trouble should I choosed the inspection. 2) He always pretends that he is a California law expert and threatens you, pushes, misguides you to make a decision in favor of him. He told me that 25% downpayment is enough at first. After I prepared the amount of money and he told me, all of a sudden, I should actually pay 35%. I realized that I have not enough money to pay a 35% down payment in cash and I would like to give up this deal. He warned me, I would be sued and get the penalty should I not closing the deal. I hope no one would work him since this is definitely a nightmare in your entire life.

I joined Real Estate Source years ago. I was skeptical that Tonys claims were a scam or too good to be true. I went forward with caution and put my license under Tony. True to his promise, I keep all of my commissions minus $595.00. No hidden fees or charges and he pays all of our errors and omissions insurance. Not only is Tony's real estate transaction monitoring thorough, it is easy for the agent to perform and he pays you quickly. In addition, Tony is available for questions or help with any transaction difficulty. As a person I have found Tony to be an honest, supportive authentically nice and genuine person who is very intelligent and savvy. This is the best real estate career decision I have made!!!

I had a horrible experience with Real Estate Source realtor Tony **. He is extremely aggressive, which is what I thought I wanted trying to sell my first house, but he was aggressive towards me and even resorted to scolding, yelling, and belittling me. I have lots of examples as to what he has said to me, but I think it is very unprofessional to tell a new seller that it is ok if they only make $1000 on selling their house when he will get paid thousands. I did not feel comfortable talking to him. even though I had multiple questions. He bullied me into a contract that I did not want, he wanted me to give the potential buyers items that were not mine to give and then made snarky comments under his breath when I told him I can not give it away. He does not show that he cares for his client, only interested in getting paid at any cost. He was a referral from a coworker, which is his neighbor, so I thought he would be a great match, but he did not care for me as a new client nor first time seller. I know this because he did not even list in the area that my house is located and when I asked him about this, he said it was ok because my potential buyer would not be from that area. Naïve that I was, I believed him...the first of many false statements he made. After 2.5 months, I fired him, yet Tony tried bullying me again saying he had a contract for me and would get paid regardless so he might as well see it through. Well he forgot that I had the final say and not him, and he ended up not ever producing said contract. So after another week, broker finally released me. I am making this review so that others may not have to experience what I did and that if they want to buy or sell a house and decide to go with Real Estate Source, Inc., that hopefully they will find a caring realtor and not experience what Tony ** put me through. read more
