Connie always kept me apprised of any developments kept me informed the entire time during for the complete process. Additionally she was a wealth of information in regards to property, property values, and definitely knew the entire door County area. She was very helpful in helping me prepare my cabin to present it to perspective buyers in a professional manner. Most of all she was a lady I enjoyed talking with and doing business with. I would highly recommend Connie as your realtor and I would definitely use her again the next time I'm in the market for a property in door County.

When I asked for additional photos on the property, Connie decided that she couldn't serve my needs so she would no longer be working with me, even though I have excellent credit, am prequalified for a loan and seriously looking. For someone who bragged about their customer service, is a top realtor in Door County and how much she values her clients, I find this a bunch of crap. Maybe because I am not seeking a property value of a couple hundred thousand dollars, she feels I am a waste of her time.

I was in the market to buy a home and called Francine more than a half dozen times about several…read moredifferent properties. Each time I called I told her who I was, that I was pre-qualified for a conventional loan and had a down-payment in hand. Each and every time she would skirt around showing me the property, often times citing that there was a "potential cash offer" ...so there was not one yet, but she thought there would be so she would not schedule a viewing with me. At one point she scheduled one, for a week later, and when I texted to ask what time I should meet her she acted like she had no clue who I was and then when I told her she followed up by saying the same thing...there was a possible offer coming so there was no need to show me the house. This happened literally five different times. I finally started calling other realtors to have them show me her listings. I had anticipated offering a higher amount for a house, specifically 10k over asking, was told there was a cash offer coming for over asking, and when I saw it sold, it sold for 10k less than asking. Those sellers missed out on 20k simply because she wouldn't show the house. I can only assume this is because the paperwork is less for her if it's cash and she doesn't make any more money if the house sells for less or more. My parents had a cash offer they were trying to make on a retirement property she had listed, she told them there was a well inspection that needed to be done and she would call them the following week. She never called them and then when my mom finally called her, Francine was very rude and short with her and told her there might be another cash offer. My mom said she was so rude to her that she was completely turned off by the idea of even buying from her. I asked a few buyers around town about their experiences and found that is the typical consensus in town and while non of the other realtors ever spoke badly of her outright, as they were all very professional (also, all of them were kind and remembered me even though they got nothing from showing houses to me other than helping their clients to get as many offers as possible...which is what you want as a seller), it was very clear that her reputation precedes her and that she has shady business practices and has worked for a dozen different realtor companies in the past decade. I absolutely would stay away from Assist 2 Sell. If you're a seller, you are being robbed of an opportunity to get the most for your property and if you're a buyer you might as well have 100k cash to put up front or she will give you the run around and treat you poorly. It's also note worthy that when I tried to express this on the Facebook page my comments were deleted and I was blocked from making a review. She blocks and deletes any negatice comments that make the her look bad and thats not honest business, that is shady and the very opposite of an honest realtor. She is not a good choice for your home buying/selling experience. I attached photos of the comment that she deleted so no one would see an honest remark about her business practices.

Scott Bader was the listing agent on a home we purchased. Five days after we completed the purchase…read moreagreement for the home, we received a letter from the seller's attorney stating the seller wanted to terminate the purchase agreement because they had changed their mind. With no legal grounds to terminate the purchase agreement, I contacted listing agent Scott Bader to discuss the situation. During this brief call, Bader made it very clear to me that he did not want to be involved in the situation, that I should hire an attorney, and he even asked if I could "leave his name out of it." With no support from Bader or Coldwell Banker (a large, national company), I had to spend many hours of my time and hire my own attorney to ensure the completion of this transaction. Ultimately, after significant expense, I was able to complete the sale as originally agreed to. So, while I did all this work to ensure completion of the sale, Bader and Coldwell Banker happily accepted a big commission on the sale. After the sale, I politely asked Bader and/or Coldwell Banker to reimburse me for our legal fees. Our legal fees amounted to less than 5% of the tens of thousands of dollars in commissions received by Coldwell Banker. Coldwell Banker responded to my request for reimbursement in part by saying, "we must decline your request" and "we cannot control, nor are we responsible for the behavior of our clients." What a cop out. A customer-centric company would do the right thing and reimburse me for my legal fees. Coldwell Banker profited handsomely while abandoning me to do the heavy work of using legal means to ensure the closing of this deal. Even if your client's behavior is not your fault, it's still your problem to fix by making me whole on legal fees. Clearly, Coldwell Banker has lost my future business and when I'm asked about real estate agents, you know how I'm going to respond.
