Carlo, employee of Avalon Realty Associates, L.L.C, is a thief and slum landlord.in spring of I was interested in leasing a property for my business in the Chicago area. I retained Avalon Realty Associates and was referred to Carlo. He showed me a few properties in Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Not only did he lay the bait and got me into a raw deal, but when he and I were alone inside a property, he manhandled and raped me. He then threatened to kill me if I went to the authorities.
He knew I was interested in leasing a property in the chicago area for my business. He instead shoved me into a lease to sublease deal for a dilapidated property in Glendale Heights. I leased the property after he strong armed me telling me excitedly what a "wonderful" deal it was. He lied so much I don't know where to begin, but for starters he told me I could turn this property into a 2-3 units and I would be able to sublease the other unit (s). The landlord and city told me in no uncertain terms after I leased that t's never going to allow commercial subleasing. I felt like someone punched me in the stomach at that moment. I confronted him and he of course lied to me about telling me that.
Worst of all, he manhandled me inside the property and raped me. He then threatened to kill me if I went to the authorities. And that I must also use him to buy my home in the Chicago area which I did under his threats. A year later, I was thinking of moving out of state and he told me there were NO rental companies that would help me rent out my property. Only a few hispanic guys and he didn't know if they were trustworthy or reliable. He steered me away from becoming a real estate agent myself. When I finally gave up on finding good renters and went to sell it, he laughed at me in my face when I talked about fixing it up. He introduced me to a guy who wanted to buy it from me and did absolutely NO negotiating on my part. I had to negotiate the sale price all on my own. The guy who bought it from me was slick too and convinced me that my property wasn't worth anymore than what I had paid for it. I think I lost over 10k the day I closed from that alone. But Carlo was yelling and screaming and threatening to sue me if he didn't get his commission! He didn't show up to the closing. I had to pick up my own doc stamps to bring to the closing. The guy from the city had to be called for some kind of technicality and he was alarmed at how I was just "giving my house away." I knew it was a bad deal but I knew I I would get sued by everybody if I backed out. I came into Carlo with close to 200 grand and left with 5 thousand. I threw up all night after the closing.
I called him and Kate, his wife, and they hung up on me. Carlo again laughed in my face when I told him the misery he caused me and how I was a poor single mom on food stamps due to his being a part of my life. I am now looking at living in a used RV in about 100-150 square feet of living space. I have no money and whereas I could have been set for life. But no, I listened to him pounce on me and tell me how much I would make with the rental, and house, bla bla bla. He had a responsibility as a man, as a father, and as a decent human being to steer me the right way that was the best for me.instead this greedy, selfish, evil man saw a young girl who obviously didn't know what she was doing and took her literally on the ride of her life. I have never recovered from this and lost virtually every penny from doing business with Carlo.
