Transaction Fee Today I went to the above broker to retrieve a paper called a Listing Agreement that seemed to be missing from my file. When all of these papers were signed, the real estate agent took them and dropped me off copies the next day. Anyway, when I got the Listing Agreement, much to my surprise, I had supposedly signed an agreement to pay the broker a "transaction fee" of $695 plus his commission. I truly do not believe that line was filled in when i signed the agreement, but if it was, it surely was never explained to me that I would be responsible for that charge. Strange thing is; there is no transaction between the broker and myself, they have never shown my house, advertised it ... no open house ... nothing. The buyer passed by and saw the sign. Is this transaction fee legal? What can I do about it?

We made an offer on a single family home in Towamencin township on May 16th contingent on a successful home inspection with a deposit of $1000. We choose "option 1" on the agreement of sale. The inspection did not go well and we elected to continue our home search. The realtor says he cannot release the $1000 deposit to us without the seller's signature and the seller refuses to sign. The home inspection was done May 24th and the seller's agency (Remax) has continued to show the property despite a breach of contract.

The company used a very appealing sounding lead program that turned out to be completely bogus and after we canceled the account they kept sending leads and charging our credit card. Company was unwilling to refund the money. Stay clear.

I moved out of my rental property at 1034 Cantabria Heights, Las Vegas, NV 89123 for over 30 days. Based on the original lease the company has 30 days to return the deposit. I have sent an email in an attempt to obtain verification that the deposit was returned with no response. The original deposit was $1400.00 which there would be dedcutions for cleaning and changing of locks.

showed house without permission then will not even return a phone call when i questioned her about leaving the door open. she also lies about houses she sells such as new roof, fully remodeled(black mold).so on and so on. just a bad person.period!

showed house while my wife was not home and i was at work with no notice. my wife came home to cars in the driveway she thought we were being robbed but alas it was just the landlord showing the house that is in foreclouser that we told her that we would be out of on the following tuesday with no phone call or anything we have given our number to her several times still she has no morals

REMAX LTD Select [protected]; [protected]. Can a Broker not be held responsible for her agents acts? According to Darlene (broker) she does not "mother" her agents. Roy Garcia, realtor, has mislead me in promising to property manage, free rental guarantee, 100% financing of loan and signed an agreement to pay a portion of the difference between my total mortgage (1st&2nd) and the monthly lease in excess of $350.00 just so that he could lure me to close a real estate sale. Furthermore, he promised to pay $500.00 as a referral fee for allowing his company to do real estate presentation at my house and inviting a party of at least 5.

He has been on default for more than five months and refuse to call me back to resolve the matter. He did call me once, and made promise to stay current in his obligations. Up to this time, he remains on default. This has caused me severe financial hardship.

He has also failed in his responsibility as a property managment and has not responded to my demand for him to release the current tenant's security deposit inspite of being notified that property management service has been terminated.

On Friday March 2, 2007 I viewed a property that was shown to me by "Corrine" who represented herself as a Remax real estate agent. On March 3, I submitted all of my application paperwork on the property. I followed up with "Corrine" on Monday March 5 and then again on Thursday March 8 to see what the progress of my application was. On Thursday March 8 "Corrine" explained to me that she would have an answer for me by COB that day. By seven that night I had gotten no answer. The next morning I went to the Remax office to try and speak with Corrine. Instead, I ended up waiting an hour until the "Manager" came in. He explained to me that there were "6 or 8 bids on the property I had been looking at and that Corrine would submit my bid but there was no promise that I would get the property". Having been already jerked around I withdrew my bid on the property.

Today, March 21, I found out that mine was the only bid on the property. And that Corrine was a secretary and not a real estate agent. It then became apparent to me that the "office manager" who I had spoken with also lied to me. Great way to a run a business guys! Hope you can explain this one to the Maryland board of realtors!

Is this really the kind of service that Remax realty wants to extend to its customer's in one of the wealthiest and busiest real estate markets in the country? What ever happened to "ethical business practices"?

I am writing to inform your readers of a business deal I was in with Melinda Titus, with Remax One, at 27 East Main Street, of Webster, MA. While in the process of purchasing a home that they were advertising, I had tons of problems with either no returned phone call or long delay’s in their responses back to my real estate agent as well as my Fiancé.

I am a first time home buyer and do NOT think that buying a home should be as stressful as Ms. Titus with Remax One had made it for my fiancé and I. Due to all of these problems and delays in their responses back to us, we backed out of the purchase.

The sellers of 6 Barry Ave., Dudley, MA then decided that they had the right to keep half of our deposit, which is completely unfair considering we did everything possible to get this deal rolling and us into a new home with no cooperation from the seller’s side. Their agent with Remax One took their home off the market preventing other potentials views from looking at it. The sellers as well as Melinda Titus seemed to do everything in their power to prevent this deal from going through.

I just wanted your readers to know how disappointed I am with their service and would like to give anyone considering using Remax One in Webster, MA a heads up on how unprofessional they are and in my words “Play Dirty!”
