Run away! These people are a NIGHTMARE...
I've had a really bad experience with Remax Partners (R0040265) in Corona, CA. We were in the process of buying a house one of their agents, Monika Smith, was representing the property. It's quite a long story of the things that have happened so I won't detail it here but the sellers were trying to sell the shutters and fixtures to us to make a profit when they were already attached to the house and it was a short sale.
Then the sellers tried to back out of the sale after we agreed to move forward and did the inspections and appraisal to the property. My Agent and my wife went to their office to talk to the broker, Jill Wasson, to try to get the situation rectified.
Jill was extremely rude to my wife and agent which I did not appreciate at all. The seller's with the support of Monika and Jill tried every way to close escrow even though we agreed on everything and we were ready to sign final loan docs 2 weeks. We hired a lawyer to show the sellers that they have no grounds but they didn't respond to any of our letters.
We have incurred over $4,000 in costs for this home which has turned out to be a nightmare. I want to let you know of the situation and that I won't do any business with Re/MAX because of this situation and the unethical things Monika and Jill allow to happen.
We were advised by another lawyer that going further was incur more costs and may not get our costs back so we decided to cut our loses and start moving on with our lives.
It's a shame since they obviously were in the wrong on this issue. Also, they are very sneaky which leads me to believe they've gotten away with this before.
After that we decided that it wasn't worth going after the house and just want to get our deposit back. Escrow, which is in the same building — Also illegal — is holding our $10,000 deposit hostage because we crossed out the Seller Agent and Broker free from any claims of wrong doing.
We have reported this to the DRE who supported our decision to cross out the Seller Agent and Broker from the Escrow cancellation.
I have also contacted RE/MAX HQ with this as well to hopefully help us with this unethical behavior. And also give them all the evidence we have against them.
Don't do business with monika smith or jill wasson.
