We found "our new home" late July. We got our own wonderful realtor, who walked us thru…read moreeverything. We jumped thru every hoop Agnes Shoenberger (the Seller's agent) tossed at us. We even spent the morning in the house with the very nice inspector. Back-to-back hurricanes held up digging up the septic. But after weeks of delays, it passed. We were told the roof would just pass, but needed to be replaced inside 5 years. Other minor things were discussed thru both realtors. Agnes seemed to drag her feet on things. So, we needed a second (2week) extension to get the appraisal. Not sure why that was held up. So, Agnes tells our agent she needs to give her, Agnes, our inspection reports (THAT BTW COST US OVER $800 NON REFUNDABLE) before she could give an extension. Heard nothing. More nothing. Still nothing. In the middle of the night, I got online and looked up "our new home" only to find it had been relisted. We were already packed and wanted to be in before the holidays!!!!! It starts: "BACK ON MARKET THROUGH NO FAULT OF SELLERS - WE HAVE INSPECTION REPORTS AND A 10K PRICE REDUCTION FROM LAST TIME!" First, it is my opinion that it IS the fault of Agnes and Castle Gate Realty. If this home was not going to pass inspection with flying colors, it should never have been listed as an FHA, USDA loan! Certain requirements must be met for these loans. Agnes Shoenberger, as far as I am concerned, wasted our summer by dragging her feet ( we could have spent all those hours finding a new home), pulling out at the last minute, never informing us she was re-listing, AND TAKING OUR $800+ INSPECTION REPORT, under, what I believe were false pretenses, and advertising that SHE has the new inspection report! I believe that if she took our inspection report to use for her own gain, she should send us a check for $ 800. Immediately. DO NOT USE CASTLE GATE REALTY OR AGNES. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DIDNT!

Have never been so burnt by a realtor in my life.....They didn't allow me to attend…read moreinspection...was allowed to stop and pay the inspector ...Sue Eckhart was the agent and she attended inspection...never mentioned it before closing. The closing she was late and left early. It was a new girl who did the closing at a lawyers office....taxes were messed up and it cost me a thousand dollars in rebates. I'm lucky I saw an email that looked like a tax bill....I called and was shocked to find a house I paid cash for in full. Was going to be on sheriff sale list due to the incompetence of all those involved. Very greedy....i would never use Mary Enke Realty based on their aloof uncaring attitude....They really could care less. Commission is their only mission. Enjoy. If try Michele Deluca if you want as someone that really does their best....a very unsatisfied victim of Sue from Mary Enke & Mary was even slippery....get the money no matter how wrong their unqualified closer does the paperwork and it's not their fault. Please ...get training on proper closing procedures and inspection disclosures before continuing in this area....Even DeMaria is better choice than Enke ..Time to retire.

We were in the process of buying a house from Mary Enck 15 years ago. Did not get much negotiation…read morein the price, even though the house was older and needed a lot of TLC. The house had been put on and off the market several times for the previous couple years and never sold. Unfortunately, we didn't listen to our guts and went ahead and put down a $1,000 holding deposit on the property. We were given the disclosure statement from the owner. Everything looked fine on paper. Once the owner accepted our offer, the agent said we had to pay for the inspection and recommended 3 they regularly work with. My gut feeling told me to find someone else, and I AM SO HAPPY WE DID!! The house was in far worse shape than we thought, with a whole host of problems, none of which were included in the disclosure. One of the biggest things wrong was the septic system. (FYI..a Septic cleaner professional had actually arrived to clean the septic system out. It took him and hour to pry it open. He said it had not been cleaned in 30+ years). The inspector showed us more than 20 things wrong with the house, including mold, a dangerous and unstable deck, asphalt grading towards the house and trees growing over the pipes that lead to the leach field. Those are just a few problems. It was well worth the $1000 inspection cost. We sent Mary Enck a copy of the report and withdrew our offer. They seemed unsurprised. About a year later we drove by the property and saw they were fixing some of the things, like the roof. Later that year we saw that the house was sold. If you ask me, Mary Enck and associates engage in faulty real estate practices, which is at least unethical, possibly illegal!! I RECOMMEND NOT USING MARY ENCK to buy, or even sell your home. There are so many better Real estate agencies out there! Do your research and always look at the negative reviews! Good luck!
