I located a home via the internet listed by Tony Seagraves of Remax 100 in Commerce Township, Michigan. I previewed the home which included lake access. Seagraves assured me the home has lake access via the title and home association. The next day, I decided to make an offer. As a female, first time home-buyer Seagraves told me I had to deposit $5,000 on the home and that was all there was to it. He also told me that I would have to select carpet, lighting and a dishwasher for the home via the builders accounts. This was false!
As it turned out, I had to pay for these items out of pocket. He failed to appear for appointments and even locked me out of the house to drop off the lights! He had already cashed my $5,000 deposit and threatened me indicating that I had to schedule an appraisal on his terms or lose my deposit. I still have the voice mail message saved. He also advertised the house with several ammenities (i.E. Patio) and claims now that was "just a mistake".
I requested the respective documents regarding the lake access several times and he still failed to provide. I had to retain legal representation in order to protect my interests. It is still uncertain if I have lake access or not!
I am expected to close on this home next week 9/26/02 and already have almost $10,000 into it. Seagraves is an incompetent realtor and has coerced, harassed, threatened and discriminated against me - and I all I wanted to do was buy a house.
