My husband I recently purchased a piece of vacant land outside of Moscow, Idaho. As an owner of a local real estate company in my home state and my husband's 27+ years in Real Estate, it would be an understatement to say that we have been involved in thousands of real estate transactions.
In all that time, we have never had to deal with the level of intentional deception (or ineptness?) as we did in dealing with Kestrel Realty Group and Brian Howard.
If you have the unfortunate experience of having to deal with them, keep you guard up and your eyes open. Be sure to read your contract backwards and forwards and watch every move until closing; if you don't, you stand to lose.
For example:
* The property was advertised at one acreage, then, after we signed the purchase contract, the acreage was changed and lowered.
* Promises by the Brian (listing agent) for road improvements were misrepresented and never fulfilled.
* After we were in contract, the sellers changed the easement which changed our driveway access and increased the cost of road improvement significantly, WITHOUT NOTIFYING US OR OUR AGENT, and just "hoping we wouldn't notice". Most professionals, realizing they've been caught, would rectify the problem. Not Kestrel; they simply didn't care. Had we not caught the changes prior to closing, we would have improved our road in the wrong place, violated the neighbor's property rights, and incurred enormous expense. Thank goodness we have some experience in these issues and were able to catch the undisclosed change.
If you are willing to be sued for intentional nondisclosure of material fact, breach of contract, specific performance and incur financial losses, pick Kestrel Realty Group to represent you. read more
