I would only recommend Ed Roberts of KNE Realty 360 for those homeowners or prospective homeowners who enjoy high risk adventures and living on the edge of disaster!
Ed is also the owner of KNE Development and Roofing so be wary if he tries to volunteer his company to do work for a small fee before selling your house or after you buy one from KNE Realty 360. Before making a commitment to Ed, you must understand that he cannot be confined by those pesky things such as budgets, timelines, or permits! As a licensed real estate agent for KNE Realty 360, he will spin rapturous tales of cost savings and home improvement values that will have your mind dizzy with delight. Rest assured, he is as competent a real estate agent as he is a builder! Unlike most real estate agents, he doesn't need to conduct market analysis for comparison values! His expertise dwells in another dimension of space and time as he can predict future values without doing any homework!
If you try to be clever and reach out directly to his wife , broker/owner of KNE Realty 360, to fact check Ed, you will be ghosted or given inaccurate data to add to the confusion and stress!
When you are ready to sign a contract, he stops you and tells you that your business relationship should not be tainted by the vulgar talk of coin on paper. For Ed, no written contract is necessary. He trusts you, particularly after you send him $40,000. Although he initially promises to finish the work in two months, like a mad magician, he deliciously taunts you with silence as the months pass. Just when you cannot bear the silence anymore, he quells your fear with a picture or two of the work his crew has done and educates you on the real threat from which he has protected you from till now: unreliable subcontractors, picky building inspectors, and the lack of workers.
When you are beginning to second guess your relationship, he will gently remind you that he took on your meager project despite having numerous other personal properties that were competing for his attention and his (your?) finances. He entices you back with the promise of a completion date. Before you know it, you will be sending him another $36,000 and apologizing to him for bothering him with trivial concerns.
Ed is such a consummate professional that he will never lose his composure when you confront him with the wounded heart of a woman scorned by his broken promises. He will stoically remind you that your house was an ugly duckling that he has delicately coaxed into a half swan. Such artistry takes his time and your money. He will wear down your protests and misgiving by waving his real estate expertise under your nose. Only then will he issue the solemn promise that your home will be done in two weeks and will sell like a hot cake! Then, two weeks pass. When you call again, he punts the finish line another two weeks down the road. Again and again begins the roller coaster ride that will propel you to the highest of hope and optimism before violently plunging you down to the flat, unforgiving ground of reality.
When you finally resurface and realize 8 months have passed, you will reach a breaking point that you never imagined you possessed. Bolstered by this power, you may think you have him cornered and bring him to heel. That's when Ed will reveal the last trick up his sleeves and demand $20,000 to finish the project! As you stare at him with your mouth hanging open like a fish stunned by the electric stroke of his temerity and sheer shamelessness, he will slyly remind you that you have no contract and he can put a lien on your house for any work he dares to claim, real or imagined.
Ed is steadfast and immovable as a boulder; do not attempt to foolishly appeal to his heart with the reminder that the money you paid him was for your sick child who will need a liver transplant in the near future. He has also has children to feed, and healthy children consume more food, clothing, and money than one sickly one! read more
