We had a horrible experience with Noah Bailey when we recently sold our home in Madeira, St. Augustine. He encouraged us to sign a home sale contingency agreement. We were reluctant but he told us, and I quote: "If their home doesn't sell by May 21st it's over." He did not stand by his word. Their property did not close until May 29th, the day of our home's closing.
Noah was initially supportive of us when we told him on May 24th that we were not continuing our moving process because the home sale contingency was not satisfied. He then did a complete 180 on May 26th and told us the buyers would seek legal intervention if we did not close as scheduled and that we had to close on May 29th. He should have supported us, as he said he would, and negotiated some extra time for us to vacate the property. We were forced to move out on Memorial Day, May 27th, to accommodate the buyers. Because we could not reinstate the U-Haul truck rental we had cancelled (U-Haul was closed on Memorial Day) we ended up having to give away over $2500 of our belongings including 6 large mosaic planters, a beautiful $1200 concrete fountain and all of our kitchen, laundry, cleaning and bathroom supplies. Noah's reaction was "Oh. Wow." He offered us no compensation or credit at closing for what we were forced to leave behind because of his ineptitude. We found him to be weak and ineffective with zero negotiating skills. In the end it appeared that the one and only thing he wanted was for the closing to take place whenever the buyers' home sold, even though the agreement of sale was null and void because they did not satisfy their contingency on the date stipulated in the contract. This ordeal was a nightmare for us with zero support from our realtor. Noah Bailey may be okay with a run-of-the-mill closing, but with anything more complicated he is not competent. This is a 100% truthful and honest assessment of our experience with Noah Bailey. Any reaction to the contrary is totally untrue. Sellers beware. read more
