William Thornsberry was the builder, broker and owner of the real estate company I did business with when buying my first new home in Arkansas. I thought he had a name to uphold in Russellville, Arkansas and that even though I didn't know anyone in Arkansas I should be able to trust him.
Not true! I bought a spec house he had built and it was in a rural subdivision that hadn't had a road paved in it. I asked if the road would be paved and he said "Yes, as soon as I get a few more homes built."
My home was only the second of many to be built. So I purchased the home and a couple months later asked him if he had any idea when I could expect a paved subdivision, he said "NEVER, ITS NEVER GOING TO BE PAVED!"
I also had a problem with my yard, it was supposed to have sod 10ft. Out all around my home, he failed to comply till 14 months later called a young kid who could get scrap sod and would do the sod job for half the price of a reputable sod farm! I got scrap sod instead of good sod and the ground needed to be prepared before laying it and it wasn't therefore my sod died!
He also was supposed to fix a roof leak and REPLACE NOT REPAIR AS MY CONTRACT STATED, the ceiling where the leak had come through. He refused!
