My wife & I made an offer on a house on Jancey Street, Pittsburgh, PA that was accepted in April and subsequently signed by the seller. Ten days later, the sellers agent, Jeff Lunderstadt, sent an e-mail to our agent saying that he and the sellers had accepted a higher offer from another party. He then refused to respond to any calls or e-mails from our agent. We have now filed a lien on the property and have hired an attorney. After being served with the lien, the sellers contacted us directly. They informed us Jeff led them to believe that we were no longer interested in purchasing the house which obviously was an absolute lie. This is now an absolute mess that the seller's & our attorneys tell us could take years and thousand of dollars to resolve. Lawton Stokes (the owner of the agency) has been no better-at first being evasive, then deceptive & finally trying to intimidate us. Lunderstadt's incompetent and unethical behavior have caused great distress for us and we still have no resolution to the problem. It is inconcievable that a licensed real estate agent and his company can get away with this. There seems to be no justice at this point. Our hand money is tied up and we have no house to live in! This is crazy!!
