Brad may have some good reviews as a realtor, but when he acts as the buyer in his own transaction, let me tell you he is nowhere near a good person to work with. He is nothing short of an unethical, heartless jerk.
He purchased a home "through" another realtor friend of his even though he helped drive the actions the whole way through. He purchased my parents forever home, in the midst of them having to sell it due to terminal cancer. Due to the situation and them having to sell it, he took advantage of them the entire way. With price, demands, schedules, holding their feet to the fire, etc. Though things may be legal, they are not always moral or ethical. He pushed that line through the entire transaction. As long as it was "legal" he didn't care how unethical it was or how much it screwed over my poor parents.
At the very end of the transaction specifically, HIS funding fell through and was delayed. My parents graciously allowed the contract to continue and didn't cancel it on him. Even after they did that for him, when it came to the final days of closing, he allowed it to close late out of his own choice and screw over my parents. The same people who had grace for him - he had zero concern to do the same for them. He could have been in Phoenix for the day of closing to sign closing documents to make sure it stayed on time, but due to contractual technicalities, he found a way to stay put in San Diego and use an "unable to travel" technicality to not show up for signing. Him delaying this signing, delayed closing, which severely screwed over my sick parents and their important move. Brad knew fully well what my parents were going through with health and cancer, how the delayed closing would screw them over, but he knowingly chose to do it anyways.
After us kids got wind of what he did and how, we tried contacting him asking him to make it right by reimbursing our parents for all the costs they incurred due to Brad's failure to close his own purchase on time. They had countless extra expenses with movers, storage, utilities, mortgage, etc they had to pay for due to Brad's selfishness. My father, battling terminal cancer had to cancel a chemo appointment just to deal with the mess and fallout that Brad willingly and knowingly created.
I explained all of this to him, and he pretended to care while he was on the phone with me, but once he was behind the "shield" of a keyboard, he had zero integrity, morals, or character. He reverted to being and acting 100% selfish, careless, and a flat out jerk. Most of all, what kind of man knows this is happening, promises on the phone to make it right, then once he's behind a computer does a 180 and doesn't follow through on making things right? An absolute spineless, unethical coward.
Feel free to hire Brad as your realtor for a purchase, but if he's involved in buying a home, absolutely beware. He will hide behind technicalities and contracts, rather than doing the right, moral thing. He will also take advantage of the system and poor families to the best of his ability to gain all the selfish advantage and benefit he can. He may care about transactions and dollars, but this "man" does not care one bit about morals, ethics, doing what's right, or other people.
Of course, Brad will reply to this review with all kinds of justifications, reasons, or BS to make my review seem inaccurate, but why in the world would I write this about someone if they were a good person or handled a transaction professionally or ethically? I assure you everything I've included here is 100% accurate, and as a military officer, my word is my character and reputation. Anyone who has to face a situation like this in the future with him will only be able to confirm and attest this is an accurate representation of Brad's character.
Brad - you are as scummy as they come. You knew how much you were taking advantage of a sick, elderly couple for your own financial interest. I was based overseas at the time and has no idea what you were doing. Trust me, if I did, you would have been tossed to the curb when you failed to have your own finances in order. Telling me personally on the phone you'd make this right for what it cost my parents, then doing an about face once you got behind a keyboard shows what a coward you are. You are not a good man, nor a man at all. May your selfish actions and heartless, selfish choices catch up to you. I feel sorry your daughter has your character as an example.
You STILL have the ability and choice to make this right, but I think we both know your character and that's not possible for you to get over your own greed to do that. Merry Christmas read more
