I was sweet talked into believing that this company (which turns out to be a one man show) could help my husband and myself out of a desperate situation. The house we have been renting for the past 4 years is being foreclosed on because the landlord filed bankruptcy. We basically were told that we have 60 days to move once the bank notifies us in writing. Well after living in a house for a number of years we didn't want to go back to apartment living and were hoping to find another house to transition into with our three children.in steps Josh Leventhal singing the praises of his business. As a wise consumer I searched his company name and his name on the internet and could not find any complaints at all. Basically it boils down to giving him a $1000 down and then pay an additional $1000 in 2 payments of $500 each. We did the first payment, and then I proposed to do sales calls for him to earn the money to make the two additional payments since we are from a single income household. So now I roped myself into helping this crook, and convinced 3 other families to do the same as I. That is how convinced I was that this was a wonderful program. Flags started going off when the only form of communication with this guy was either by text or email. I had tons of questions that I was getting from potential clients and I consistently had to email them because he would never answer his phone. I finally got frustrated between trying to search for houses and pack, and making calls to people to convince them to do something I wasn't so sure was going to work out for me, never mind them.
We found a house, he requested that we wire him first last and deposit so he can put a deposit down and sign a P&S Agreement. We insisted that he provide us something to show what we were paying for and after that finally was taken care of, he did sign the agreement and place a deposit. Week after week I have sent emails and texts trying to find out the closing date, only to get put off, or ignored and get told that everything is fine, he would be in touch and let me know as soon as possible. Then the Real Estate agent for the property gets in touch with me to inform me that Josh Leventhal had just requested to pull out of the deal and wanted a full refund of HIS money. Come to find out, despite us paying almost 6000 at this point, he only paid 2000! I had to contact him and ask what is going on, and he lied telling me everything was fine. When I demanded a moving date I got a nasty email back stating that the investor he had backed out and as soon as he gets his deposit back then I will get mine. After several attempted phone calls and emails and texts, this man is completely ignoring me now. I have sent him a 30 notice to refund my money and he has not even replied to that either.
DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN! We are now facing homelessness, because we have to scurry to find a home that is going to fit the five of us and our lg breed dog, in the middle of winter on top of it!
I will join forces with who ever would like to speak, and hopefully I can get some of our money back that my poor husband worked so hard to get together.
