So anyway, this is our fave realty office with our fave girl running it. Not greedy, always gets a good deal, always friendly to work with. And to think we just found her by accident. We first came here when we were looking for dentists, but over the last few years have visited literally every business in this plaza. Sadly there are businesses here that have closed up and shuttered and moved out, as well as some other stuff that clings to life and does just enough business to survive. It's important that you give them your business because so many have already packed up and gone. So there are lots of offices here such as Crown Dental and Rent-A-Center and others, and they do a good job keeping the rent low, and lots of interesting businesses have been located here and are still, in many cases. Definitely come here for your realty needs... as opposed to your reality needs in which case I'd stick to J-Woww and Snooki.

Selling this house turned into a much more complicated process than I ever expected. Between the…read moreinspection, foundation concerns, contractor estimates, appraisal risk, underwriting questions, and nonstop negotiations, there were plenty of opportunities for the deal to fall apart. Instead, Liz managed every step with professionalism, strategy, and an incredible amount of dedication. What impressed me most was that she never simply accepted what the buyer asked for. She dug into every repair request, compared contractor quotes against the inspection report, brought in independent experts, and challenged anything that wasn't supported by the facts. Because of her diligence, we avoided thousands of dollars in unnecessary concessions and repair costs. Several major buyer requests, including foundation concerns and other costly items, were either significantly reduced or eliminated altogether. She was also constantly thinking several steps ahead. When appraisal became a concern, she came up with a creative way to restructure the transaction by adjusting the purchase price instead of relying on seller concessions. It was a much cleaner approach that reduced appraisal risk while keeping the deal together. That kind of strategic thinking is something you don't see from every Realtor. Communication was another area where Liz excelled. She kept us informed throughout the entire process with detailed updates, explained every option, coordinated contractors, worked directly with the buyer's agent, lender, and title company, and always made sure we understood the reasoning behind every recommendation. Even when things became stressful, I never felt like we were navigating the process alone. Most importantly, she exceeded my expectations financially. We sold the house for more than I honestly expected when we first listed it, especially considering the challenges that came up during escrow. Looking back, I don't think we would have achieved the same outcome without her persistence, negotiation skills, and willingness to go to battle for her clients. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, strategic, and genuinely invested in getting the best possible outcome for you, I highly recommend Liz. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.

I hired Homes Reimagined USA to remodel my townhouse. The estimate was for $33,000, with the first…read morepayment being $16,500. The other two payments were to be made based on job completion. There were problems from the beginning! The remodel consisted of demolition of a kitchen, to include removing old cabinets and drywall because of water damage and mold. It also included demolition of an upstairs bathroom for the same reason. The wood framing of the downstairs kitchen and upstairs bathroom was to be treated for mold. New drywall was to be installed afterwards. The sub-contractor hired to do drywall work started in the kitchen, and put up drywall without treating the exposed black mold. When I asked Allen Coven, the owner of Homes Reimagined USA, if the wood framing had been treated he told me he didn't know. He then told me it had not. So I insisted the new drywall be taken down, and the mold treated. I took a day off work to supervise the drywall installers. They showed up with a bottle of Tilex bathroom cleaner to spray on the mold. In frustration, I called a friend that owns a professional demolition company for advice. He told me Tilex shower cleaner wouldn't work. My friend then came over with a special paint that kills mold, and told me the visible mold would have to be scraped off, and the special paint applied to the effected areas. My friend had to explain to Forest and me what needed to be done. I ended up having to do all scraping, clean up, and painting of the effected wood frame myself. This is work I payed the contractor and subcontractors to do. A lock box with a key to the house was put on the back door. The workers had a code to the box, and were to make sure the house was locked and the key secured in the lock box when leaving. I couldn't stay at the house during this process, but would come home in the evenings to check on things. One evening I arrived to a wide open back door. Even though I wasn't staying there, I still had expensive firearms, clothes, and other belongings upstairs in boxes. After that I called Allen, and put a stop to all work until he and I could meet in person. Also per the estimate, a dumpster for trash was to be placed outside. Allen then told me one could not be used because of my car port area not being big enough. He then assured me that he and Forest would not let trash pile up in the back patio, and would haul it away on a regular basis. That didn't happen until I complained several times. The plumbers hired to install the new bathtub and shower valves didn't do a good job either. They didn't line up the mixer valve hole, the bottom water spout hole, or the top shower arm hole for the shower head correctly. The guy hired to tile the shower didn't say anything to anyone when he installed the tile either. He tiled the shower walls and didn't say anything to anyone, about all three holes being off. I got super busy at work, and couldn't go by the house every evening. On one particular evening I went by to check on things, and found that some of the kitchen cabinets had been installed. Unfortunately, they were of poor quality. I later found out they were made in China. I would have preferred they be made in the USA. That, and the installers didn't line up a vent hole with a cabinet box correctly. You would think the installers would see their measurements were off, and make a phone call to Allen or Forest. But like the tile installer, they didn't say anything. That, and if Allen or Forest had gone by the job site every day to check on things, perhaps some of these problems could have been avoided. I repeatedly asked Allen for a cost breakdown. I wanted to know how much of the $16,500 was spent, and on what it was spent on. To date, he refuses to provide that. He did however, invoice me for the second installment. Long story short, hiring this company was a mistake!

In Dec 2011 we purchased a new Farb home. After only 2.5 years we have over 20 cracks on all the…read moreexterior walls, major cracks on all exterior corners, and a defective terrace balcony design and construction that allowed water to leak through and collect in the rear main wall of the townhome. Upon visiting the property, the builder claimed all cracks were 'normal stucco performance' and refused to acknowledge any water damage even with clearly visible water spots, wood buckling and paint peeling below the wall kick out, and wall separation present above the garage. The builder offered to patch the larger cracks on the corners and told us we were "really lucky to buy our home when we did since prices for his homes have gone up significantly since we purchased." Unsatisfied with the builder's response, we immediately contacted a highly reputable stucco inspector who concluded the larger stucco cracks needed repair, smaller cracks were hairline but excessive for age of home, and that balcony terminations, flashings, balcony penetrations and balcony railings, bolts and fasteners ALL lacked sufficient sealants. As per proper construction: "All penetrations must be sealed with a compatible sealant as recommended by the stucco system manufacturer and required by Southern Building Code (SBCCI 1403.1.4)." In addition, all suspected water damage/intrusion was confirmed using a probe (physically removed portion of stucco wall to conform water presence). Shortly after the Stucco Inspection, we reviewed our sales docs to determine any warranty coverage included with the home purchase. Unfortunately, there was no detailed warranty information provided at close, only a reference to an ACES warranty website containing only a short generic list of covered items: http://www.acesbuilderswarranty.com/about/warranty-coverages/. After countless back and forth emails with the warranty company they sent out an ACES certified inspector at our expense. The inspector was not there to perform a general unbiased inspection as we thought; he was only there to determine whether or not the issues we were experiencing were eligible for the ACES coverage. He concluded the issues with the stucco were not covered because 'general workmanship' coverage was only for a year. Furthermore, we were not eligible to claim under the 'major structural' until the rear wall water damage/decay caused the property to become un level/unstable. Despite visually acknowledging water damage and reviewing findings from the independent stucco inspection, the ACES inspector/report failed to address any mention of missing sealants during construction and only mentioned buyer responsibility to maintain "maintenance sealants" which are completely different than sealants applied during construction as per the ACES website. ACES directly states that initial sealants are installed by builder and implies maintenance as an upkeep: http://www.acesbuilderswarranty.com/homeowners/maintenance-tips yet has no language to address or acknowledge when the builder fails to install initial sealants at construction. We were also informed the ACES warranty has no language to address any liability/coverage for builder defects, so again, none of this was even acknowledged by the inspector or his report. To prevent further damage, we contacted a reputable Stucco Repair and Weatherization company who confirmed the Stucco Report findings and over a couple months' time, removed and replaced the entire real wall of the townhome, including stucco, molded wood, framing, and insulation, applied all sealants missing during construction, and installed a metal cap flashing at the top of the balcony to prevent future damage and water intrusion. Despite receiving both inspection reports and the repair work order, Farb chose to hide behind the warranty company and offered no assistance. In addition to all the exterior issues described above, we had wood floor buckle on the top floor, wood floor cupping in several rooms, and Carrara marble that has oxidized to a rust color in a bathroom that has never been used. We were told by a marble repair/installer this was due to improper mixing of the grout/mastic. Lastly, we also attempted to obtain support from our homeowner's insurance company, State Farm. However, after extensive review of the property and all inspection/repair reports their interpretation of the damage was that it was caused by "defect, weakness, inadequacy, fault or unsoundness in: design specifications, workmanship, and or construction" which is not covered. We were incredibly disappointed in the builder's response to all this given his marketing of high-end, quality homes. Incurring ~$30,000 in damges just 2.5 years after purchasing a new Farb home is shocking and unacceptable in our opinion. For copies of inspections and pics, contact: Krismanthos@gmail.com
