Interested in purchasing an apt in a specific (just-built) building I stopped by with family to view some apartments.
This wasn't my first time in the building, two days earlier I had been in the building shopping for a 3 bedroom apt.
I went back to take a second look and possible purchase with approval from family.
In the lobby (at the front desk) Sam Zheng a "associate broker" was the only person available to speak with. He asked if we had an appointment, we did not. This was an open house. And was not busy as it was early in the morning. Plus two days earlier we walked in with no issue an where helped right away.
Sam Zheng refused to let us up to look at the apts, he was already raising his voice saying we should have called and made an appointment.
After telling him that I had spoken to his fellow coworker previously he finally called someone to show us the property.
As we waited i asked to speak with the manager, he told us that he was the owner and manger of the building, which I found out was false information. He stated that he wouldn't have showed his home without an appointment and that I was lucky that he considered showing it to me.
*I have never been treated so disrespectfully, I asked for his name, and he yelled at the top of his lungs "what's your name?" in response, Spitting as he yelled. Instead of answering my question.
Everyone was shocked. People coming out from viewing apts upstairs where staring at him... i have say i have never been in a situation like this before with a "sales person".
As a customer, interested in making a purchase in this building I was completely embarrassed by Sam Zheng's unprofessional behavior.
He had to asked to calm down several times.
Finally another broker came, an showed my family and myself up to the property but how can I purchase anything after being treated so horribly.
In this country, as in many others, civilized people do not treat paying customers like this.
I would never recommend this company or location to anyone looking to purchase a home.
I hope your company takes appropriate action against this "sales person".
---UPDATE---
After seeing the apt's the broker helping me apologized multiple times, saying "hes just like that"
i asked to speak with the mangers of the agency or to get a phone number multiple times, finally after 5 minutes of him asking me "not to get anyone in trouble" he gave me a business card of the supposed owner.
I called twice, once he said he was busy and he would call back in 15.
Never called back
An hour later i called again and explained the situation, turns out he also wasn't the manger, and tried convincing me to talk to my original broker to buy the apt i "liked"....after 10min of me explain how unhappy i was with the situation....seriously?
Then i emailed the company through the website.....NO ANSWER
What a joke..... how could you trust people like this with your money and future home?
