Do not use keith j. Brown or his company, real freedom now, llc.
In the spring of Keith J. Brown ("Brown") contacted me about partnering with him on the purchase of some distressed properties. He told me to pay a realtor, Joanne S. Parker, two payments of $1,000 on two properties. He said he'd negotiate the short sale offers and we would split the proceeds after acquiring and selling them. He also said that he would make sure that he would protect the earnest money that I had paid.
In June of it became clear to me that Brown had no intention on buying the properties and that he had put my earnest money in jeopardy. I emailed him and asked that he substitute his own money for the earnest money deposits so that the realtor could refund my money in full. At first, he ridiculed me and then he agreed to do so. He sent an email to Ms. Parker on June 30, stating he would do so.
After 2 1/2 months, I emailed him since he never did as he said he would. I've emailed him recently and he refuses to pay. I lost $1,500 because of him and, what is worse, is that he refuses to honor his word and reimburse me. (I would have lost the full $2,000 except for the fact that the realtor, Joanne S. Parker, did agree to refund only $500 of the $2,000 I paid.)
My advice is if you're a homeowner trying to sell your home and he contacts you, do not do business with this man. Same thing if he wants to partner with you on real estate transactions. Don't do it.
