I organized a last minute family reunion to rent out his Malibu Mansion. I negotiated on pricing with the owner the week before and we both agreed to move forward. I think we went back and forth just twice ( he'll probably say it was 3x that). Trying to upsell me he was bragging like 5 times on the phone his house was $6M, it increased to $10M after a few more conversations..pretty hilarious. Also continuous bragging about his number of positive reviews which i really question the authenticity. Finally sent his team the rental contract all filled out by this time it's a couple days before checkin. My entire family had purchased flight tickets/travel arrangements at this time. I get a call from his office saying they are going to allow the current occupants stay thru the weekend and that's it. I called the owner several times and he was not even MAN enough to pick up my phone and talk to me. Actually texted me saying " you snooze you lose buddy". Pretty much told me over the phone i had the place a day ago and there should be no issue. Didn't even have the decency to call me personally to apologize. I'd recommend this property to anyone that wants to deal with a owner that is a complete liar and has absolutely no morals. Totally ruined our labor day plans. Now the owner is probably going to reply back questioning accuracy of my review, I can ASSURE you this review is 100% accurate nothing exaggerated. There is nothing he can say to justify what he did was right. read more
