I joined a website a month ago that teaches you how to flip houses. They told me that we have run our deals thru hawthorn capital of doweners grove ill first. So i sent my first deal to josh manchester. He told me he wanted the deal and not to show it to anyone else.
He wrote a contract giving me my price, but what i didn't know was he never had a buyer. For 3 weeks he keeps telling don't worry about the earnest money his buyer will bring it in. Then he tells me he needs the lock box again his buyer hasn't seen the property. I said you already put a contract on the propery he tells me don't worry we will close.
When i told him the bank wants to close friday he tells me no problem. After we get off the phone josh manchester sends me a email telling me i have to lower my price by 3,000 and pay him a 1,000 and pay his marketing fee.
I told him i never heard of anyone chargeing the client for your marketing. Besides you will be making more than i will. His response was. It is not greed it is just business.
He had me over a barrell and he knew it. So i emailed the person who sent me to hawthorn capital of dowers grove ill. Amy smith emailed me she would call me right back. She never did call back. But josh mabchester from hawthorn capital did. He was laughing amy is not going to help you. How do you think she makes her money. Ever wonder why you don't have a phone number from her.
Josh manchester tells me just close the deal we will close a lot more deals with you making a lot more money.
I have to admit they got me on this one. I wasted time, money that i won't make that i would have if i closed the deal and now will lose my earnest money. But i will never do business with these people. And i hope enough people read this so they don't fall into this trap.
