    I saw an apartment listing on CL by one of the agents, Frances Owen. The listing said to text or…read morecall her. After a week of no response I decided to call her when I saw she had updated the listing. She hung up on me after being extremely rude on the phone and told me to go live on a "farm" because of the kind of pet I have (it is a teacup pig which is the size of a cat, fully grown. I have been living in other apartments for the past 2 years without a problem). I called her back because she didn't even ask the owners of the apartment if it was ok (she told me at the beginning of the phone call that she doesn't know if pets are allowed). She then threatened to call the police on me and report me for harassment. I want to add that this listing has been on CL for about a month, and it is obvious why it hasn't been rented out yet- because this agent has no clue how to do her job. Clearly she doesn't know how to represent the company she works for. I would not recommend this group to anyone after my experience.

    Now I've heard it all. A pig???? We can't find a place for a dog no less a pig. I'm an animal…read morelover but if I were a landlord I'd never allow a pig in my place. Google "The truth about teacup pigs" I quote - "There really is no such thing as a teacup pig" they can grow to be 100 pounds. Having said that, we have been working with Fran to find two apartments for the past three weeks. There has never been a time when she hasn't called us back. She has been amazing! Never wasting our time with things we didn't want to see and advocating for us to have our dog. I see now that the world has truly gone nuts. Get a grip lady. Pigs need space not apartments - try not to take that out on somebody's career - Bad Karma!!

    I hired Dan Adams of Real Living Innovations of Wantagh to sell the home of my elderly parents in…read moreMerrick. I had seen his stellar Zillow reviews, although I was a bit skeptical upon meeting him (he showed up significantly late for a first meeting that I flew in from Chicago for and was on a tight schedule). I can't imagine that I could have had a worse experience with Dan. I have since learned that Zillow picks and chooses which reviews it will publish so it is not an independent source. It makes me wonder if the other reviews on Zillow are truly real reviews and if many poor reviews of Dan were purposely excluded by Zillow as mine has been.. As a positive for Dan, I will say that he represented the home while my dad was ill and my mom was with him at their home in FL and that my brother and I both live out of state. Dan was helpful in ensuring the house was maintained during the 7 - 8 months he had the listing while no one was living there. He helped us get a leak in the radiator fixed and also alerted us and fixed a gas smell created by an extinguished pilot light. With that said, the list of negative issues is long: 1) In the first meeting we discussed pricing the home. I told Dan what I felt was a fair selling price for the home. He told me at the price I suggested that I would be leaving money on the table and that I should price the home for $30K - $40K more than what I thought. We listed for about $30K above my initial thoughts. In 8 months Dan did not bring me one offer within $65K of the price he thought we should list it at. 2) On 3 - 4 occasions Dan told me he had an offer on the table. Each time the offer was far lower than expected. Each time Dan told me he would go back and negotiate the deal up. Each time I never heard about the offer again. There was no back and forth, nothing in writing to prove there was an offer and ultimately nothing got done. 3) Dan extended the MLS listing three months beyond our contractual date without written permission from my mom, the home owner. While I was content to continue working with Dan at the time, I had no idea that the extension was for three months and not just month to month. When I was considering making a change and called other brokers they had concerns that they would be stepping on Dan's toes if they came to our home to take the listing from him. 4) Dan never called to strategize about pricing or to give detailed updates about activity levels on the listing. I had to call Dan myself and two times ask him to lower the price to see if that would help sell the home. 5) Dan (or he claims his office) lowered the price on the MLS listing without any approval. It was a small incremental reduction likely to send out information to the market to increase activity. He never complied with my request to change the price back to where it had been. When I brought this to his attention he told me that I had never asked him to change it back. 6) Dan's original summary description for the MLS was poorly written and I had to rewrite it myself. 7) After several months with the listing Dan phoned me and asked if he could slightly change the wording of the description. After he explained to me what he wanted to do I told him I had no problem with the change. He never made the change after we had that conversation. 8) Dan's ReMax office must have changed its affiliation to RealLiving during the course of our agreement. Dan never reached out to let us know of this change. A friend of my mom's drove by the house and told her that the sign in front had seemed to changed and asked if we had changed brokers. 9) In mid April 2014 I let Dan know that my mom was coming back to Merrick from Florida during the last week of April. Dan nicely offered to have the house cleaned. Dan failed to notify his office that my mom would be in the house and that they should contact her for all showings. In early May, to my mom's surprise, a buyer and broker showed up at the house and let themselves in while my mom was there. When I mentioned this to Dan all he could say was that he didn't know what day my mom was coming home. I had told him on several occasions, the last week of April. 10) Generally, throughout the term of our contract with Dan I found him to be less than communicative. I believe that Dan grossly took advantage of our family all being out of town during the course of this listing arrangement. I strongly recommend that anyone considering using Dan as a broker should closely monitor him as perhaps he can be successful if he is well managed.

    Michael Francis reinforced my belief that the best customer service representatives in any company…read moreare those who inherently enjoy communicating with people and those who have a genuine caring for the people with whom they interact. Michael does not have to force or fake it--because it is innately in his character to care. This is reflected in his work as a Century 21 AA Realtor. Michael helped my wife and me at the beginning of our search on Long Island for our first house. I was impressed by Michael's approachable demeanor and patience with us as we explored the homes available to us within the parameters we had set. Michael had already invested time in us, but he was still understanding when we changed our minds about the state where wanted to live and decided to explore homes in Connecticut, which unbeknownst to us, just happened to be outside of the area where he works as a realtor. Instead of Michael losing interest in us as potential clients and just considering it as a loss of potential business, he offered to give any advice he could to help us as we searched in Connecticut, he checked-in periodically to see how our house hunting was coming along, and he even offered leads to other Century 21 Real Estate Agents in Connecticut that he had vetted himself and we were able to utilize one of the leads. After not finding any suitable homes in CT and some very frustrating times my wife reached out to Michael and he was there when we decided to revisit Long Island for our first home purchase. He guided us without ever rushing us to make our decisions. Finally, when my wife and I caught glimpse of what would ultimately become our first home, Michael worked with us to make it happen, helping us navigate the complexities of the process until we became proud new homeowners. Many people want and need different things from their realtors--my wife and I needed to trust the person who would be an integral part of such a major purchase. We needed to feel that they would care how satisfied we would be with the purchase even years after we moved in. We needed to feel that we could be open to express our concerns and even make mistakes in front of him without being judged as he advised us through his expertise. We needed an ally in our journey and a thoughtful guide who knew the home buying "terrain." Michael gave us all of this. Anyone who is seeking the qualities that I just mentioned in a realtor would do themselves a great service by seeking out Michael Francis. My wife and I will definitely recommend Michael Francis to our friends and family. We are happy and grateful! Bravo Michael Francis, our sincere appreciation!
