A few months back I met Paul (over the phone) At the time Paul stated he was looking for multi million dollar properties that could be picked up near 50% of their value. I brought Paul 2 properties. One home did not meet the requirements. The other home was a 6 million dollar home in Texas. Unfortunately the home was also listed with a real estate agent. The seller at the time had stated that they were already in the process of removing the Agent.
The seller brought in a set of attorneys to look out for their best interest and to insure everyone was on the up and up. The agents where never removed but everyone came to an agreement. At this time the final purchase agreement was signed by all parties.in the agreement it state Patron estates would close within 30 days. Part of the agreement stated that Patron would place 300K in escrow. Paul refused to place the money into a well known 3rd party company. He claimed he only trust his own company. This was our first warning sign but the seller still chose to move forward.
I spoke with Paul on the phone and asked him when he planned on closing. He stated 'the middle of next week we'll be done' the middle of the next week came and he stated he was waiting on title work and it will be the fallowing week. So now we're almost 3 weeks into the contract for a "cash deal" and I try getting Paul on the phone. No answer for 2 days. No body at his office tells us anything. The day before closing Paul text me and says he's been at the hospital for family After being kept in the dark for almost a week we don't know if this is true or not.
A few more days go by an we here nothing from him. Every time we call the office they act as if he's in until he finds out who's calling. Once they find out it's us they state he's out, he's in a meeting or he's on the phone.By now we're a week out of the contract and nobody has heard from Paul.
I'm not a cold guy but I didn't know if he was just scamming us or if someone was truly in the hospital. So i decided to wait 2 more weeks. During this time we heard nothing. So I get a little frustrated. I call his office again this time the assistant says he's on the phone. She ask for me to leave a message. After weeks of no returned calls I said I'll wait on hold. About a minute later I was disconnected. I called back and another assistant said he wasn't there. So I sent Paul this text
'Paul Call me. If I don't hear from you I'm just going to assume you're a flake and a fake. So that this doesn't happen to someone else I'll make sure that when people google your name or company they'll know how this deal was handled'
Well that got his attention. It took less than minute for him to call me. He came at me with his alpha male attack and basically told me to f*^* Off. He said he'll close on the deal when he gets to it. Then he told me the family member died. I can't trust the guy so I don't know if this true or not. I decided to wait 2 weeks before I wrote this post for that reason. Just before I wrote this I noticed a posing from Paul on June 11th about how their company is growing. He's been back at work for at least 9 days and none of us have heard from him.
I cannot prove that he doesn't have the money he claims to have but he cost us $25,000 in cost trough out this deal. And of course the escrow money won't be sent to the seller.
Don't spend your money until he's at the closing table, or just don't waist your time.
Paul read my post on another site and we had this text convo after.
The first few text are before I wrote the report. The point of these is so that you can see he never communicated with me and I'm showing all cards not just his bad ones. The only edits made to this are his cell phone digits.
Me (6/9):
Paul are you going to pick up that house?
Me (6/10):
Paul call me. If i dont hear from you im just going to assume you are a flake and all your stories are fake. So that this doesnt happen to someone else i'll make sure that when people google your company or number they'll know how this deal was handled
Me (6/10):
Paul, if someone died in your family i apologize. You have to understand that none of us had any way of knowing this information. Put your self in our shoes. None of us know you, none of us had any prior dealings with you so the talk around the deal is that you were a fake. When i called your office some one did tell me you were on the phone. But this whole problem wouldnt be he if somebody from you orginization comunicated with us.

Me (10:21 AM):
Yup... You really didnt think that one through. I have all your text as evidence. But you go ahead and do that. Btw she should be on the phone with you now
6462651xxx (10:23 AM):
Hahaha - billy you are a joke. I told you simple get on the phone So we can work the deal since i was away. But you choose not to. Please read contract of sale.
6462651xxx (10:24 AM):
There is no earnest what so ever. Second i am looking to close and you as the broker who is not even licensed knows both contacts
Me (10:25 AM):
Ya i know... It said you would close 22 days ago. I gave you plenty of time to fix your issues
6462651xxx (10:26 AM):
HA HA read again. It says on or about. That does not mean that day.
Me (10:27 AM):
Which means it can close before. If not closed by said date then the contract is void and needs to be amended
6462651xxx (10:29 AM):
Nope try again buddy. Learn real estate and then try to broker
Me (10:32 AM):
Nyc law may be a little dif. But with texas state law a reasonable amount of time has passed. Dont talk to me about the laws. You wont win that way. Now im getting bored of your little game if you're not closing im done. If you want to sue me have your atty call.
6462651xxx (10:35 AM):
HA HA HA
Me (10:38 AM):

Me (10:41 AM):
Paul everything is wrapped in multiple llc's you would spend 10 years in court to just lose. If thats how you want to spend your money thats fine.
6462651xxx (10:42 AM):
Thats fine billy. - then ten years it will be. And win i will. Your too funny billy. Simple put
If you noticed above he said If I didn't call he'd be done with me. Well he called my cell 62 times the day after my first post. I told him I was on the do not call list and our business relationship is over, but he still kept calling.
