DO NOT LET KELLER WILLIAMS AGENTS "HELP YOU" BUY OR SELL YOUR PROPERTY!!!
In the past 6 months we made a huge mistake of having Keller Williams Agents sell 6 of our properties and sadly found out their Agents to be incompetent, had little or no knowledge of Real Estate Laws and they were greedy, only thinking of their commissions. We wanted to list our primary residence at $330,000.00 which was only $82.50 per SF but the Agent said we would be lucky to get $275,000.00 and wanted us to list it for $299,000.00; we sold our home for $309,000.00. We only reduced the price only because we had already moved to Florida. Had we been still living in Texas, I have no doubt we could've held out for a lot more. The Agent was very free with our money, wanting us to buy the buyers most of whom were 100% financed by USDA new air conditioning units even though the units were inspected and certified by a HVAC Professional to be in good working condition, new garage doors since two of them were hit by hail and had some dents on them but were perfectly functional, new gutters with some hail dents, etc. Keller Williams Agents are greedy, incompetent and their priority is to make as much commissions as quickly as possible at the expense of the home owner.
We had a cash offer on our 6th home and agreed to sell it for $130,300.00. The buyer asked that we replace the roof, fix the fence that was leaning and replace 2 pieces of trim on the back-door. We replaced the roof and repaired what they asked for. They had asked to go to closing on November 26th, the day before Thanks Giving then changed their minds and wanted to close on December 1st. The buyers then refused to sign the closing documents and refused to sign the Termination Form. According to Keller Williams this was perfectly legal which I found out was not the case. A Buyer can refuse to sign the closing documents or refuse to sign the Termination Form but cannot refuse both, in essence they were given permission by Keller Williams to hold our home as a hostage. Keller Williams Agent told us that we should hire an Attorney with our own money and force the buyers to release our property. Keller Williams left us on our own to sort out the mess with these GREEDY BUYERS. After hiring an Attorney, the buyers signed the Termination Form however a few days later their Agent sent an email to Title Resources of Denton that read: "Buyer said the termination notice not effect util the Lease earnest money form completed signed by all parties." The Buyers and their so called Agent were some of the greediest, despicable people who could barely speak or write in English we had ever met. We had 2 more offers on our home but according to Title Resources of Denton we could not accept any offers since they received the above email and they advised us to get another Attorney. I sent Title Resources and Keller Williams laws that specifically stated that in cases where a buyer refuses to sign the closing documents and refuses to terminate the contract the seller has the right to terminate the contract and accept another offer but neither company would listen or help us. These buyers and their Agent held our home a hostage from November 26th to December 29th where we had to turn down several offers as neither Keller Williams nor Title Resources of Denton would allow us to proceed with the sale. I am in the process of suing Keller Williams, Title Resources, the Buyers and their Agent as well as bringing criminal charges of deceptive business practices, fraud, extortion and blackmail against them with the Denton County District Attorney's Office. We are also filing a formal complaint with Texas Real Estate Commission against the buyers' Agent and her Broker.
