Kent Bachman, Director of Sales and Marketing is verbally quoting prices of homes, options, and upgrades. He signs contracts, negotiates prices, and attempts to get their licensed salespersons to commit illegal activities. A salesperson, afraid to lose her license, recently quit due to his illegal activities.
The owner of Private Island Homes, Inc, Vincent Rover, does have a brokers license and employess of that business can in fact provide certain services under that license. However, Vincent Rover doesn't want to sign sales contracts so Kent Bachman does. This is a violation of the California Business and Professions Code Section 10177 (h).
Private Island Homes does have a real estate group working for them, who has a licensed broker, and licensed real estate agents at both projects. The phone number for sales information on their website should be the brokers phone number as she or one of her salespersons can quote and/or negotiate prices. However, the phone number is Kent Bachman's.
Mr Bachman recently tried to keep a potential homeowners deposit after they had to back out of the sale. He promised to give the money back. It's illegal to keep it. To this day, he still hasn't. Hopefully they were smart and have contacted an attorney.
I have filed a complaint with the California DRC (Department of Real Estate) for violations that include:
Failure to Supervise-Section 10177 (h) of the California Business and Professions Code
And
Unlicensed Activity-Section 10130 of the California Business and Professions Code
And
Misrepresentation-Section 10176 (a) of the California Business and Professions Code
Good luck to Private Island Homes. You should think about what he's doing and if you're smart, you'll get rid of Kent Bachman while you're still out of trouble.
