Pacific Realty partners has left their sign for over two years in the front yard of the house he sold to us. The realtor has been called multiple times and each time promises to come and pick it up. Never happens. That kind of goes right in line with the coverups and hidden problems we have found throughout the house since purchase. He is a fraud and irresponsible. Do yourself a favor and find a different realty company. read more

Pacific Realty Partners - This is the sign that Pacific Realty partners agent Paul LeJoy has left in front of our house for two years - Real Estate Services Near Me - Newark, California

My husband and I recently purchased a home from Pacific Realty Group and, while we are quite happy with the final outcome, it was a roller coaster getting there. The two men who run this company are pretty sketchy. Sure, its "business", but they've changed their company name numerous times to get away from the issues that have befallen them. Anyway, let's start with the good. We bought a fully flipped house with amazing attention to detail and modern touches that feel right at home in a hip millennial atmosphere. They know who they're playing to and they have great taste. The bad; we put in an offer pre-market, no contingencies. They came back with a clause about suing (reading reviews now, I see why), we added contingencies, the original offer became convoluted. So, despite our offer being ratified and us being in escrow, they put the listing up on MLS and hosted open houses, not even bothering to mark the property as "pending" or being transparent to other agents that we were already ratified. They were still showing the house two weeks into escrow. Items they had already been marked as fixed were not, and did not get fixed prior to close of escrow. After learning of their prior forging of documents, we hired our own inspector to ensure everything was up to code; much was, some was not. They offered a credit to fix the items, but then also retracted that credit offer once they started seeing the other offers coming in from the visitors who viewed the house after we were in escrow. The sellers are the flippers and the agents. They run the show and when things aren't going their way they say "we'll have to get back to you after we talk to the seller"...after you... talk to yourself? And yes, while many of the upgrades to the home were wonderful, they did not use a licensed contractor and some items were not always level or even. Not horribly noticeably so, but not high-end professional as first look would suggest. All in all, I wish the house we fell in love with had come from a different seller/agent group but you can't choose that. If you're planning to sell your home to them or have them sell them for you, be wary of their tactics. read more

Paul Lejoy owns the property on 3226 Champion st Oakland Ca and has continuously rented this property out on Friday and Saturday nights. Tonight is yet another example of loud music, large gathering sometimes exceeding 40 people. After 5 months of continuous parties finally there was a shoot out with over 100 rounds of bullet shells left on the street. He has continued to ignore all the neighbors complaint and continues to endanger the well being of the entire block. He does not care about others let alone God! Stop using religion to promote your sales! read more

I would not recommend this realtor- Paul LeJoy. We were in escrow for 5 months waiting for him to honor the contingencies in our agreement. On the final day before signing, He had the audacity to hold an open house trying to sell it out from under our feet, claiming that "buyers could not come to terms" Right off the bat we had to sink another 2k into plumbing issues. BEWARE. read more

We had such a great experience with the Pacific Realty Partners! Paul Lejoy sold our house for $40k over asking. Selling our house was a smooth and easy experience with Paul's team from start to finish. I highly recommend Paul and his team for selling your house or buying a property! They were supportive and you could really tell they cared. read more

We worked with Basil Yaqub when purchasing our first home. He was everything your agent shouldn't be. He did not share important information with us nor offered us advice he should have. The closing process was painful and took ages. He did not update us at all, in fact we had to be the ones calling him, reaching out to his assistant and asking about updates. After the closing we found out that he had completely disregarded our confidentiality agreement and outright lied to us more than once. Extremely unprofessional and disgraceful behavior. Will definitely not recommend. read more

Did not perform on an all cash no contingency offer. Never funded escrow. About as bad as it gets.!!!!!! read more

*why do you keep saying you have never done any business with me? My husband and I are a team. You did business with my husband means you did business with me! * the appliances and the house weren't in "as is" condition. I hope you understand the meaning of this clause. Obviously the appliances needed to be changed. * there were shoe marks on the ceiling(!?)and the walls. Of course you'd repaint the house!! * "in the end you ended up with a great home with over $100,000" AFTER WAITING FOR A YEAR. DO NOT FORGET THAT! 100k equity would have happened even if we lived in that house for the past 1 year. No? Do you even realize the problems we've had to face because we didn't get the house sooner? * you wouldn't respond to our agent more often that not and that's the reason we had to ask our agent to connect us to you incase talking to you directly made a difference. You weren't our agent(thank god for that!) *you didn't even clean up properly after those hooligans left. *you "remodeled" the house but did a subpar job. We are having to pay to get a lot of things fixed! For example- the electrical wiring is all messed up which guess what IS A FIRE HAZARD!! We have had to spend 7k+ to get it all fixed!! We can share the pictures and the bill with you. read more

Paul made my Fremont home sparkle & sell for top dollars. A Man of his words ! Flower at heart & would never ver think anything then BEST for his clients, business partners ! read more

BASIL had a house listed and to get this guy to even give a reply was like pulling teeth, then after offers were in, STILL didnt even have the respect to tell other offers they did not get the offer just had to figure it out on own when the house went pending. No responses, no details, no communication at all. And just to add to the home he had listed the PGE was off, so when we looked at house we couldnt even turn on lights. read more

"We were introduced to Paul LeJoy and his company -- Pacific Realty Partners (PRP) by a friend of ours. Paul thoroughly explained the Short Sale process to us. We had 2 loans, which made the process even more tedious. However, as any good pilot, Paul and his team were able to guide us through all the turbulence. Paul has helped us in other real estate matters and provided the best solution for us. When it comes to meeting clients' individual needs, we highly recommend Paul and PRP".

this review is for Chris Hotaki. I picked him online (great reviews), and plus his office is very close to my rental property which i planned to sell (Newark,CA). My impression with him is he's fast, vast knowledge/experience, responded quick to my text/email/call. He brought in awesome contractor (Tom) who handled the rehab top down and super fast. (they both actually specializing in flipping too!). I can't thank you enough that Chris handled all end to end, and i just sit back and relax, and its sold pretty quick (above asking price). if you looking for flipping projects, or in market to sell/buy, he's highly recommended! read more

ATTN: YELP READERS The responses you read from Paul to negative reviews (reference Paul's response on 9/6/16 to Salman H. and then his response to me on 9/7/16) are perfect examples of what NOT to do when trying to make a wrong right. The responses clearly show the rational and thinking of the owner of this company which is not good for business. In response to Paul's comment, I've said what I've said in my original review for a reason and clearly based on other recent reviews of this "business" I am not alone. The facts are: *As a Realty Broker, Paul and his agents had a fiduciary duty to disclose all relevant and material information to non-principals concerning details of the transaction. In this particular scenario, Paul was involved because of the lack of obedience by his agent. *While I had every right to cancel, only a fool would do so when all contingencies were removed meaning, I would lose a substantial amount of money (earnest money deposit). The reality is, I operated in good faith with the information that was available and when the truth was revealed, I intended to hold everyone accountable for actions that could have been prevented with disclosure. Those actions cost me additional money which I should not have to pay. *Finally, don't flatter yourself Paul thinking you did me any favors. What favors did you do for me exactly...Meeting with me to try to try and remove a holdover seller (who by the way, knew what they were doing because the home had been in escrow for 5 months which gave them plenty of time to get over their situation. They chose to sell, no one forced them). Somehow getting my offer accepted as a favor even though my offer was the highest and strongest? I submitted my offer like everyone else and the seller accepted my offer..PERIOD. I have no obligation to be grateful to your your team because you did NOTHING. That is the exact reason why the review was written and legal action was taken. I am not nor have I harassed you. I simply reminded you of the fact that you have an open judgement in excess of $8k that needs to be resolved and until it is paid, you will continue to get notices of intent to collect. My theory on your change of perspective on human nature is simple: you have no moral compass and your guilt is keeping you up at night responding to poor reviews at 12:08am in a way that doesn't help your company image. I do know this; the Bureau of Real Estate, CA has started their review of this company's practices and I would not be surprised to see this broker's license and/or his agents license get suspended or restricted. Only a matter of time folks... read more

Chris Hotaki is the best realtor we've met. He's a great guy with a big heart. He treats you like family and is very knowledgeable about the product and services they offer. It was 100% satisfaction and I recommend him to our family and friends. He is very straightforward and honest. He has a way to make the process smooth and understandable. Thank you for your help. God bless you. read more

Pacific Realty Partners always blows it out the park. My parents recently listed their home for sale, but it seems that a bit of remodeling was imperative for it to sell at their desired price. PRP definitely made that possible for us. They transformed our home into a five star hotel - they know what they're doing, and have divine taste. I'm very pleased with the company's founder and CEO, Paul Lejoy, not only is he a great author, but his practices set this boutique real estate firm apart from the rest, they truly do. He's a real estate investor, and my family has dealt with him first hand. He always believe that we should aim for nothing but the absolute best, so that is much appreciated. He proves this by only bringing on the most experienced and best realtors on the market who manifest his beliefs of the customer always being right, and always being satisfied. When you list with this firm, you can expect the very best. Paul's team of experienced and trustworthy individuals of contractors, handymen, interior decorators, and impeccable real estate agents reassure you and guarantee that your home looks like a lavishing environment, is destined to sell for a great price, and assures a nothing less than perfect transaction. read more

Paul helped me sell my home in Hayward. Everything went smoothly. He helped me find a contractor to nicely renovate the home. He had it staged and photographed, which I think was a great help. The entire experience was excellent and professional. read more

We have known Paul for a few years now. He helped us buy a short sale in Fremont in 2012. We count ourselves blessed because right now we have over $300,000 in equity in the property. We have also learned quite a bit from Paul in terms of real estate investing. When it comes to education, customer service and honesty, no other realtor comes even close. We highly recommend Paul to any client. We are sure he will treat them the same way he treated us: with utmost respect and cordiality." Lay and Michael Tint read more

Less than a month ago Paul with Pacific Realty Partners, Inc helped me sale my home. He went beyond what I had anticipated. It was truly a full-service turnkey solution. I am very happy with their services. Paul didn't mind spending extra time explaining me the process of the real estate industry; he gave good advice. I have worked with someone else in the real estate industry, who has a lot of credentials and very well known but my experience with Paul went much beyond that. Paul wants to connect with the customer in different levels making sure our experience is the best. Paul makes sure the customer is happy and that we are customers for life. I can definitely appreciate this type of business from a company that values its customers. I definitely recommend Paul. read more

We got introduced to Paul when our neighbor across the street put up their house for sale. We witness the work they did to renovate that house and saw how quickly it sold. So we decided to set up a meeting with Paul. We chose Paul as our realtor because he was very high energy, aggressive, knowledgeable, experienced, passionate and he had a plan. He assessed our house and we agreed on the work needed to make our house sparkle and to sell for top dollar. Paul did all the leg work when it came to getting comps, marketing materials, setting up inspections and disclosure paper work. We ended up with two open houses (Sat & Sun) and had offers by Tuesday. Overall, we were happy with the outcome of our sale and we couldn't have done it without Paul. He delivered on everything that was promised and we would highly recommend him. Thanks Paul! read more

Paul is very professional and a great person to work with. His agents are great and the properties he remodels are done by best professionals and at highest quality. read more

Through Paul, I engaged in a few real estate investment properties. All of them were profitable; some more, some less. All in all, Paul was a man of his own words and a very kind man. On occasions things did not go as expected, he stepped in and corrected the problems. I'll not hesitate to have Paul represent me as an agent/broker. read more
