Highly recommend! We have recently worked with Stephanie LeBeau and Julianna Watson to rent out our condo in San Francisco. They provided quick service and rented out the place within a week. Efficient and responsive. Real pleasure to work with them. We have worked with Stephanie in the past 5 years and she is excellent ! read more

I have never had a horrible experience like I have with real estate agent Kevin Cronin. I had initially found him via an online website, when I clicked on looking at properties via Trulia and was referred to him. Initially he was kind, and offered to show me properties I am in my initial stages of buying and looked at other properties on an online website, zillow. He called me after he saw I was looking at those websites, angry, and said: Kevin: "you never called me to confirm our appointment, so I cancelled our tour" Me: "But I messaged you confirming, I thought we were all set"" Kevin" Um, well, it looks like you are looking at other agents, so I no longer want to show you property, and find yourself another real estate agent" Me: "All I did was click on an online property to see it as I was looking at all options, i don't know what I did wrong." At that point, he hung up on me, with a statement he would text me other real estate agents. He may have anger issues, as he never did message me back. Beware of this real estate agent, he trends between angry and happy, if you are ok with that level of bullying. In my initial stages of looking, he offered nothing but sorrow and meanness. read more

Vanguard Properties - When I started looking at other properties, he told me I never replied back to him, as you see I did - Real Estate Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

Absolutely APPAULLED by Vanguard's lack of professionalism and conduct at our Dec 15th house showing by agent James Belisle. My husband is a frontline ICU/Covid 19 RN, working in the midst of the recent surge of the virus, that has taken 1.8 million lives. We were dead clear about the liability it posed to his hospital staff and vulnerable patient body, to conduct their proposed showing with 7 PEOPLE, which ran in direct violation of the current state mandated Stay at Home order and nearly EVERY Covid Real Estate guideline, which specifies virtual showings and only, if imperative, a showing, of more than 2 people from the same household. This was 7 people from 7 different households, 2 were in dirty sneakers (not shoe coverings), 1 in a bandana (who professed upon leaving that he had an inconclusive Covid test result the day before), a piece of art was broken, dirt from their sneakers was all over the white, sheepskin rug in our childrens' room, EVERY knobs, tap, handle, drawer etc was touched repeatedly and they were here 2.5 hrs, not the 10 min agreed upon. The disconnect and subsequent response has been astonishing. NO lawful Covid signage was posted. NOTHING was wiped down, nor sanitized, before or after, as required. NO PEAD forms were supplied. When I called the managing broker Robert Brisbane, to inform him of the dozens of violations and the incalculable risk this posed, the absolute gross indifference was genuinely startling. Even just the stress my husband John had to deal with, as a consequence of the man saying he was potentially positive (yet had been in our home 2.5 hrs with a bandana on, 30 min of which he was behind closed doors with 3 other in our daughter's room), trying to find a covid test appt, days before Xmas, on his ONE day off in weeks of 12 hour ICU shifts.... Robert's response to all of this was, "What is it that you are looking for?" We are utterly disgusted. Couldn't recommend this firm any less. We ha read more

UPDATE: I am taking this to small claims court and Vanguard has been served. I've heard from others who have had a similar situation with the same Vanguard property manager, but they were able to get their money back before the court date. Although the property manager claims they sent a check in December and said they would send out a new check, that has not happened. I followed up and even offered to pick up the new check in person, but no response. My court date is in a little over a month so I guess we'll see what happens. read more

Terrible experience working with agent Jean-Paul Samaha. I had a probate building in San Francisco for sale and was looking for an agent tor represent me. The probate court only allowed for a 5% commission however Vanguard Properties charged a 6% commission. As a licensed California Real Estate agent it was his fiduciary responsibility to charge no more than was legally allowed under the probate rules. Vanguard double-ended the deal making over $89,000 in fees. I'm stuck with paying an extra commission because of their greediness. read more

When dealing with unscrupulous and dishonest real estate brokers, your best course of action is to contact the California Department of Real Estate and file a complaint. All RE brokers must be licensed by the state and they fear the state more than they fear you as an individual. Here is an excerpt from their site to follow: "We investigate complaints against real estate brokers and salespersons accused of misleading or defrauding consumers. If we can prove a violation of the Real Estate Licensing Law, a formal hearing may be held which could result in the revocation or suspension of the agent's license. We investigate complaints against subdividers accused of violating subdivision laws. If we can prove a violation, further sales may be stopped until such time as the violations are corrected. We may be able to facilitate resolution of your dispute or issue. In some instances consumers may obtain assistance from the Department's Complaint Resolution Program to resolve simple complaints involving real estate licensees. For more information see the Complaint Resolution Program page." read more

Matthew Duffy was the agent that wrote the bunk lease for our rental in the sunset, that caused us LOTS OF EXTRA COSTS IN LAWYER'S FEES STRAIGHTENING OUT THE LEASE HE WROTE. But there's more! Read on! After we'd signed and moved in, it became clear that the landlord who lives in an inlaw unit below expected us to pay for his utilities. The line "TENANT PAYS ALL UTILITIES," is in the lease, a standard way of putting that the tenant pays for their own utilities. Somehow this meant we now resumed responsibility for the landlord's utilities and Comcast bill. Complaint #1: Duffy never made it clear to us that we were expected to pay these costs or we would not have moved in. In legal terms, this is called BAIT AND SWITCH. You cannot advertise one price for rent and then include what adds up to be over $200 in extra costs a month that had nothing to do with us! We saw a lawyer, landlord saw a lawyer. Both lawyers separately agreed that it was not enforceable - that is we were not responsible for paying our landlord's utilities nor his Comcast! Complaint #2: We told Duffy that and he never acknowledged that he was wrong or apologized. He'd told us that he'd been trying to move people in for awhile but the landlord kept changing his mind and rejecting people. We thought we were done dealing with the Duffman but then move-out time he appeared, again, to do the walk through. Landlord wanted to keep as much of the deposit as possible and Duffy pretended to have some kind of authority over the situation. Complaint #3: Either it took him 6-7 business days to respond to the email or there was no response at all, and when there was a response, he just didn't acknowledge the questions I asked, such as, Did you talk to the landlord about x? - the main question, AKA motive for writing the email to him. Complaint #4: When he did take the time to pick up his quill and pen us a hello, he said things like, "Well I agree with the landlord that this seems like a reasonable charge. ---Um, I do not care what his opinion is, why are you taking so long to respond to my emails and writing me an editorial? This is not your monthly column piece, this is life, you're holding $700 of my deposit for a cleaning. What? A month after I moved out, I finally received a check for my deposit. Duffy, I'm sure you're reading this, the deadline in San Francisco is three weeks. Write that on your hand in magic marker. We never got interest on the deposit in the check the landlord mailed across country that I had clearly asked for and was legally entitled to, so the check was unacceptable. Complaint #5: It's been almost 5 weeks since I moved out and I STILL have not received a new check for the deposit. I called the landlord and he told me to only deal with the Duffman and he'd not been informed that he had only 3 weeks to return the deposit. Complaint #6: A month after we moved out, Duffy told me to change the utilities into the landlord's name so that we "wouldn't have to pay" for the time we weren't there. We didn't cancel the utility accounts so that the landlord could switch the account back into his name. Otherwise, the landlord would have to put a deposit down and begin the accounts again. What authority does Duffy have to say that we need to pay the utilities for the month after we've moved out? We are entitled to a reimbursement when the costs run for an extra month! Does Duffy offer to discuss this with landlord? No. Furthermore, one cannot change utilities into someone else's name. You'd think he would know that since real estate is his livelihood. Complaint #7: Even after legal consensus that we were not responsible for the utilities by both my lawyer and my landlord's lawyer, Duffy is still claiming that the lease was well written. Um... if the lawyers say that you tried to pin unjust charges on us, it caused a huge tension between the tenants (us) and the landlord, who lives below, it's pretty indicative that the lease was WRONG. He didn't learn anything. Complaint #8: Today, July 7th, the Duffman wrote me an email saying he's not responsible as a representative of our landlord, although we've been writing emails since May. This is a line from the email: "I am not a property manager, nor do I get involved with any disputes that may have arisen between tenants and property owners, based on anything except for what I have written in my leases." = Real Estate equivalent of "I did not have sex with that woman." Conclusion: A monkey wearing a diaper could have written a better lease. Good luck with these crooks. If you're having problems with Vanguard/The Duffman now, take comfort: They don't seem to be very smart. The only plus was the secretary was very polite when giving me the number to call his manager, Paula Gold. One star for you, Vanguard Properties secretary. read more

Very poor communication with prospective tenants. I called three times about an apartment and was sent each time to a nonhelpful "answering service" where I left messages that were never responded to. Emails went unanswered too. I would not recommend this property management to anyone looking to rent one of their units. read more

Christian Tinoco at Vanguard doesn't sleep, he doesn't take off weekends, he doesn't stop working until he finds you a perfect home. It was an absolute pleasure working with Christian. He allowed us to take our time to figure out what he wanted--asking probing but nonjudgemental questions to help us figure it out while providing insight into the different ways we could spend our budget (location, condo v. SFH, space). In the end, Christian sent over our new home and we fell in love instantly. It was something we had skipped over when perusing the listings on our own, but he encouraged us to take a look and we are so glad we did. Buying a home in San Francisco is not an easy process but Christian helped us navigate the market like a good friend we've known all our life (who also happens to be an expert in SF real estate) read more

We hired Farah Abed to do a 1031 exchange where we sold one property and bought another with her. That's two whopping commissions she got from us! And what did we get? A ton of headaches! I really wanted to like Farah. I'm disappointed in her and also in myself for falling for her sales pitch. She's a total sale person through and through. She overpromised and underdelivered on just about everything. Farah once told me that many of her customers end up being her friends. I could never be friends with her. After we received so much wrong advise, poor recommendations, poor representation, lack of open and honest communication, etc, there was just no way I wanted to keep in touch with her. After we closed escrow, I refused to talk with her. So my husband followed up with her on the final logistics. The gist of it is that I walked away not trusting her. I felt she was looking out for her own self interest and would say anything to get our business. And just to top off our miserable experience, she did not even send us a housewarming gift on the purchase of our new place. In all my real estate transactions I've never had an agent be so thoughtless! read more

I thought well of vanguard until after I moved in to 550 18th street in San Francisco, at a unit costing thousands of dollars per month for rent. 1) When we moved in, they promised they would fix a few things ahead of our move - a stain on one of the bathroom mirrors, a broken piece on the microwave, etc. This never happened. We even moved in to a unit with a dirty fridge and had to get them to bring someone in to clean it. 2) We started receiving e-mails from Craig and Stanley that were very poorly worded and extremely rude. This applied to e-mails about ANYTHING. On one occasion I had to write them back asking them to just treat us with a little bit of respect in their e-mails. I've never done this before and I have lived in 5 cities in the past 10 years. 3) When we moved out, they somehow decided that only $2,000 of our ~$8,000 security deposit should be refunded to us. They STILL have not provided an adequate explanation, and often ignore e-mails we send them asking for clarification, then reply with one liners saying the computer did this and they can't explain any further. I just got notified by another old tenant that this is common practice. 4) I just received an e-mail from the tenant distribution list about how Craig sent a personal reply ON FACEBOOK to a post about issues with vanguard that the tenant had written on the tenant's own personal facebook wall. Is this even legal? I am preparing to take further action against Craig, whether it be reaching the owner and having him/her take care of this, or Vanguard as a whole via the judiciary system. The third point above especially is a breach of trust and an abuse of power akin to bullying. If I could do this again, I definitely would not rent from these guys. And I hope to spread that message so that others can avoid this. read more

Ball 1: Make a mistake on our lease. Ball 2: Made another mistake on our lease, apparently they can't do math. Strike 3: Craig Waddle was very rude to us, and apparently this is a pattern with him if you look at the other reviews. What a douche. Also, isn't a huge part of their job writing leases? Isn't most of it just copy and paste? If I was that bad at a basic part of my job, I would expect to be fired. If you as a landlord or tenant want to be happy and treated like a person, avoid at all costs. If you look at the filtered reviews, there are a quite a few more negative reviews. Most of them are probably people annoyed enough to post once on Yelp due to Vanguard's unprofessionalism and not actually fake reviews. read more

I would NEVER recommend Vanguard Properties to ANYONE, especially renters. My 2 roommates and I lived in a Vanguard owned building for 3 years in which we never had a late rent check and maintained the unit nicely. When moving out of the apartment, we took all the proper precautions to have a formal walk through before move out, hire professional cleaners, and abide by all move out instructions. We were told the unit was in great condition and nothing major was to be deducted from our deposit. Over 3 weeks after move out, we finally received our deposit with $1100 taken out for charges relating to painting the entire unit, cleaning, and misc charges. There is NO way as renters we should have been charged for painting costs of the entire unit! After several attempts to discuss over the phone, not one of my calls was returned by Craig at Vanguard. And after one email exchange, he said he would no longer discuss. I am absolutely blown away by the lack of professionalism and cooperation of this property management company especially Craig and Stanley. I urge you not to rent from these people! read more

Wow. Wish I had read the reviews before hiring the Vanguard agents I had list my house. I learned the hard way after it was too late. Never again. read more

It's true that I've done many things in my life. I've bungee jumped over a river in New Zealand. I've been nibbled (but not bitten) by a shark in the Bahamas. I've driven less than two feet behind a moving big rig truck and lived to tell the tale. BUT I have never bought a house before, which was actually as scary as anything I've ever done in my life. Now, I knew a few things going into this process. I knew I really wanted to live in the SOMA/South Beach area of San Francisco. I knew my relative price range. I knew I should probably talk to a few agents before selecting "the one". But that's about it. So I interviewed a few agents in the Bay Area. The thing that stood out about Chris Lim was his encyclopedic knowledge of the areas where I was looking. He knew which sides of which buildings he preferred and why. (For example, "Don't buy on the West side of such-and-such building... it gets too hot there in the afternoon.") He was straightforward and not afraid to challenge you on why you like a particular place if it didn't make sense from a resale perspective. (Which is something that I immediately respected as someone who will eventually be selling my little condo sometime in the future.) Then he introduced me to a very interesting concept: two agents in one... He explained that he and another agent in his office, Kristen Steucher, work very closely together. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure how this arrangement would work out, but his command of every nuance of South Beach impressed me enough to give it a try. Soon, I met with Kristen and began to understand the arrangement. Kristen handles the "hand-holding" aspect of the agent's job. Particularly for a first-time buyer such as myself, there is a lot of answering of questions and explaining how the process works. There's a lot of looking and looking and looking that Kristen is more than happy to do without any hint of frustration or boredom. She strikes me as generally a very positive person, which I must admit is helpful to have around when you're facing the biggest financial purchase of your life. I didn't see much of Chris during this process, but I now understand that he is the behind-the-scenes guy, the Yin to Kristen's Yang. I wouldn't really call Chris a "nice" guy. But you don't really need a nice guy negotiating for you. You want the guy who will fight for you and speak up if he thinks you're being taken advantage of. There were a few "gotchas" during the process with the developer (selling the condo) and the bank. Chris went to bat for me and fixed them. So here's the bottom line: they guided me through this whole scary process and held my hand when I need reassurance, fought for me when it seemed like I was going to get screwed, and looked out for my best interest the whole time. I highly recommend them. read more

We've purchased two different properties in San Francisco and also had Vanguard broker a private sale for us. Outstanding results each time. Follow up from our agent (Deb Despues) was great and if ever there was a time she was not available, the broker stepped right and and helped. If I was buying or selling another home, I'd not make a move without my agent at Vanguard. read more

It's been a few years since I bought or sold a house in San Francisco, and my previous go-to Realtor had retired. So I was a bit apprehensive about finding a new agent. I met Andrew Warren and we clicked immediately. He and his team (Frank Nolan and Massimo) were the perfect match for marketing and selling my Alamo Square Victorian. And they move fast -- it was 7 weeks from the date we signed the listing papers to the date we closed the sale. The preparations they did prior to listing the house, the marketing, the brochures, the advice on staging, open houses, etc., was spot-on. We listed at a price we would have been happy with and ended up with two offers over asking price. Throughout the whole process, Andrew was always available on the phone, always one step ahead of me, and always had answers to my questions. All around an amazing transaction with a great team. I would recommend Andrew to all my friends. read more

The agent is Alexander Coughlin! Ask for him. It's been my experience that all-too-many agents ask the same questions; "What is your price range, are you pre-approved, how much are you putting down, how many bedrooms/baths, etc." And then they send you listings (something that you can look up yourself on line). Then they put you in their fancy car to show you a home and when you get there, they proudly tell you, "Now, this is the kitchen and that is the living room....." NO KIDDING!? I know what a kitchen and living room look like. And then when you ask them more specific questions about the property they are showing, you get the "Deer in the headlights look", only to be told, "I don't know; I'll get back to you on that"...then they forget. Alexander was very different. He cared about helping us find the "right" home for our lifestyle. He was thoughtful, curious about what we like to do when we're not working. He wanted to get to know us so he could more quickly assess our true wants and our needs, far beyond the " 3 bedrooms, two baths and two car garage, in this neighborhood", etc. We did this by having a conference call before we ever met him face-to-face (he was referred to us and we interviewed several agents) a wise use of everyone's time. Conferencing helped us to really fine-tune what we were looking for. So many agents seem to treat this very personal purchase as merely an investment. Of course, it's an investment, but we have to live in it. We really appreciated Alexander's more personalized approach. He wanted to find us the "right home" not simply sell us a house. He's well-connected and seems to know what is coming on the market before it ever hits the market. He was hands-on during the entire process, reliable and really paid attention to the fine print and details. There are things other agents could have missed or side-stepped, but he was always two steps ahead and always communicative. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I would not hesitate to refer him to my family and friends. Did I mention that he knows Marin like the back of his hand and that he was an absolute delight to work with? Hire him! You'll be glad you did! read more

See all

This is the worst real estate company in San Francisco. The agents are unprofessional, rude and disrespectful of their clients. Stay clear of these folks, they are not to be trusted. Poor communication with clients, it's never clear where you stand in the process of your transaction. I should have checked YELP before I trusted these people. I see other reviewers have similar complaints. Just sign the papers, except it's not fully explained what you are signing. They advised me to take the first offer "because that is usually the best". That was not in my best interest. They just want a fast sale to get the commission. Seller beware!!!! read more

John Stevenson is a mad man commercial real estate wizard. Back in 2008 John sold me a building that has since earned a yearly increasing cash flow as the market has improved...John knew brick and timber property would appreciate and cash flow better.... here we are in 2013 and I own a 9% cap rate property in a hot market. Knowing what the rents are, how to rent the building after purchase and what a building is fundamentally worth, both from a replacement cost standpoint and a capitalisation approach, Stevenson has been able to bring me and my buddies great commercial real estate deals. A+ on knowing the market and the buildings better than the other guys who call me on the horn. read more

My experience with Vanguard Property Management for the past couple years has been nothing short of disappointing. I have had extensive experience with various management companies in San Francisco and throughout California, and I have to say that Vanguard is by far the worst and most unprofessional. I can only speak from a renter's perspective, but for those of you considering purchasing a unit or renting - BEWARE! Seemingly attentive and professional in all handlings to start, but WATCH OUT when you plan to move-out or sell as you will be disregarded and treated with utter disrespect. After three wonderful years living in the 1635 California Street building, my bliss turned immediately to shock and horror when I received my part of my deposit back. SPECIFICALLY, DO NOT RENT OR BUY FROM CRAIG WADDLE OR STANLEY CHEUNG. After scheduling a formal walk-through a couple weeks before moving out, Stanley advised there was no major damage and I should expect my entire deposit back sans minor touch-ups here and there, but overall the place was in great shape (after 3 years of wear and tear). The real result post-walkthrough: 1) I was charged over $1,000 for re-painting the apartment and for patching minor holes (which were clearly stated in the move-out rules NOT to patch or we would be fined). 2) When I asked to discuss the charges, I received ONE email response below (this is the real, unedited e-mail directly from Stanley Cheung): Hi *****, I spoke with Craig and he is not willing to discuss the security deposit charges anymore. Thanks, Stanley Cheng VANGUARD PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 2501 Mission Street San Francisco, Ca 94110 DRE Lic # 01866223 OFFICE: 415-321-7092 FAX: 415-321-7220 3) After two weeks of calling the office to speak directly with Craig or Stanley, my calls were never returned and I have not received a response since the email above. This company is unprofessional and illegally robs you blind of your security deposit, so for those of you planning to spend thousands of dollars to invest in one of their properties - THINK TWICE! read more

John Stevenson, and his arrogant/ disrespectful nature in which he "represents" property owners and talks to potential tenants (me) is the sole reason for this review, asking me "can i even afford this??" "why does your company need such a nice building?" A little high on your horse there buddy. Ive been a tenant at my current location for 10+ years. This is not my first rodeo. No wonder he has his name on so many buildings in SF! Nobody wants to rent from him!!! I hope his superiors see this and address the situation. Very Rude, Horrible attitude, would never consider ever calling back. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Vanguard Properties agent Debra Reabock is 100% unfit to manage a property, and it is beyond me how she ever got employed by this agency with her unstable character.

If I could give this office negative stars I would - for all the stress, tears, lost money and lost time their incompetence and greed caused our family. We listed our house for sale with a husband and wife team. They didn't tell us about the wife's month long international vacation prior to signing a listing agreement because "it never mattered before". And it wouldn't have, had they got the pricing correct or had better communication skills. We lost confidence pretty quickly and wanted out of the agreement. Enter Mr Dantastic - Dan the wonderful managing broker of this office. Managing brokers are the ones you actually have a contractual agreement with. We spoke with him and James the CEO of vanguard. We thought we could go with another agent in their office. Then, Dan said that didn't work out, even thought their CEO agreed that agent would be great for us. And then Dan said James went on vacation so we can't talk to him again... why don't you try this other agent in our office (because I don't want to let you out of this listing agreement). Zero empathy and ownership. These people did not put the client first despite already having made commission dollars from us on previous transactions and new clients I referred. I'm sure there are great Vanguard agents out there. We were just scorched by this experience that happened to be the most important financial transaction of our lives. read more

Luis Gervasi is a patient and respectful real estate agent. I feel very confident referring anyone to him.

Jennifer Jones at Vanguard has gone the extra mile for me twice. When I bought a home in June 2014, Jennifer helped me craft an offer that was more appealing than the two matching offers. When I sold a home in 2015, Jennifer again went above and beyond. She spent extra time to meet with potential buyers to make sure they were comfortable with the home and with the high price I was seeking. When the sale was made, Jennifer continued to put in extra time, including assisting the buyers during the final walk-through, to ensure there were no delays or snags. As a result, I've come out ahead on two real estate transactions, from both sides of the equation, thanks to Jennifer. read more

My family has been investing in real estate for 30 years and has owned hundreds of units in the Bay Area and Central Valley as well as commercial properties nationwide. I've been exposed to more real estate agents than I can remember (even my brother and my favorite cousin are agents). Whenever friends ask how they should select their agent, I always tell them to select on the following factors: * Hard working. The truth is that your agent adds value by working harder than the next person. Mark Choey is in that rare category of agents who works round the clock to serve his clients. * Knowledge and experience: Just hard to replace solid knowledge and experience. Mark has got to have the best market knowledge of SOMA, South Beach and Mission Bay. His network of relationships runs deep and wide. For these districts, he knows every level of the market, from affordable 1 BR starters to multi million luxury condos. Finally, Mark is a first rate individual. Great energy, always a smile. You'll enjoy working with him. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely adored working with Suzy Reily. Her work for us helped us lock the condo of our dreams. Without her assistance with a short sale, we would have walked away from the property and would have spent another year in our 500 sq ft. rental.

Jennifer Jones and Mike Gallin from Vanguard Properties misrepresented many Tenants in Common units in San Francisco. The TIC units had constraints that forbade them from converting to condos, but this information was not openly disclosed. The constraints were set due to buyouts of a protected class of tenants, which was very silly on their part. read more

Frank Nolan is the best Realtor in San Francisco. Why? Because he is honest (YES HONEST: that rare trait in Realtors). He knows his market. He knows potential value increase / development of property. He has a excellent sense of style and design. He knows his numbers and can point in the right direction re financing. He is an all out decent person. We bought our house a year ago through him and his colleague Andrew Warren. It has risen in value hugely since. We will sell our old apartment through him. I would not consider anyone else in the Realtor business. read more

I have recently been working with Nunemacher Group Real Estate Agent Ed Deleski. Ed has been extremely helpful in helping me look for property to buy in the city of San Francisco. He has a keen knowledge of all the various neighborhoods in San Francisco and can help you narrow down which one is right for you. He is a true gentleman and i look forward to his continued assistance in my search for a property. If you need an agent, and we know this town has more than it should, you need to pick Ed and his team. You can't go wrong with that decision. read more

Horrible customer service, specifically John Stevenson. I was actually interested in buying a home and visited a property he was showing. I pursued this for a bit, was a strange sale opportunity. Upon visiting the property we walked outside and then got locked out as his keys didn't work, very odd, especially since he's been showing the property for a long time. I had left my one of a kind sunglasses in the unit which he promised he would return. 5 months later and dozens of calls, offering any part of my day to meet him there and he has done nothing but lead me on to now ignoring my calls. I called the office manager and she is now doing the same thing, her name is Sandy. You would think maybe I'm an asshole, I'll let you be the judge, the property is still on the market and has been for a very long time, its 1071 Mississippi. Needless to say the sour taste left in my mouth prompted me to stop pursuing the property or any relationship with them. I would advise you to take into consideration how that sort of selfishness reflects on them and if you would want to go into business with someone who by no means has your best interest in mind. All they care about is money, sink or swim, they get paid at the end of the day, but where does that leave you. There are lots of agents out there, do yourself a favor and find someone with a smile you can trust and honest opinions. read more
