I used Mary Bleeker as a Real Estate Agent to purchase a home, because of a family connection. Throughout the process she was very hesitant to negotiate for me, and always made me feel that she was representing the sellers instead of me.
However, when I finally decided on a house it became a nightmare. As soon as Mary Bleeker got the real estate contract signed she decided that her job was over. Whenever I requested help she said that I should get my real estate lawyer to do the work, even though by law I am not even required to have a real estate lawyer, and she was making a very large commission of over $5,000 while the real estate attorney was working for a fixed fee of $400.
Mary Bleeker's refusal to help made it very difficult to negotiate inspection issues with the seller.
Finally, before I was about to close on the house it was severely water and mold damaged. If Mary Bleeker was a competent Real Estate Agent she would have told me to walk away, but she did not.
Instead I was stuck still buying the house, and Mary Bleeker would almost never answer my calls when I was trying to work out the insurance issues related to the water damage. She refused to negotiate any additional discount for the water damage.
Because of Mary Bleeker's incompetence I have been left with a water and mold damaged house that I paid too much money for.
There are a number of competent Real Estate Agents out there, please, for your own good, do not use Mary Bleeker.
