Worst experience ever. We signed Brian's buyer-realtor agreement several years ago, and he destroyed our opportunity to buy a home, resulting in a very expensive nearly 2 year delay for our family in buying a home in the Montrose surrounding counties. In one instance he got into a screaming match with the seller's agent - ultimately wrecking that buying opportunity for us. He would take several days to prepare the offers that we made on homes. I believe he did not want to submit our offers as he did not agree with our strategy of negotiating up from a starting point (on homes that had been on the market for many months). Eventually, after several failed attempts to buy, I told him he was ruining our opportunities to buy in a small community and we needed to go our separate ways. He then sent us a lawyer's letter and legally prevented us from buying a house for some 18 months, as that was the small print in his agreement if we stopped using him. 18 months later we bought a home, representing ourselves. Buying without an agent went flawlessly - thanks to excellent support from our local attorney and from our mortgage company. Based on this horrendous experience with Brian, I will never ever use a real estate agent to help me buy a home again, and I strongly recommend not working with Brian. Update: We have no idea what Brian is referring to about exterminating prairie dogs! I think he's barking up the wrong tree - not us. Maureen and her husband own a company called Prairie Dog Terminators, 15138 2600th Rd Cedaredge, CO 81413, (970) 216-0952 and were contracted and came to my property the end April 2023 to exterminate prairie dogs at my property and I referred them to my neighbor also. They were paid nearly $5,000 between myself and my neighbor. They came out to do the job and were there for a week or so and left the job. They were then contacted again the next day to let them know that there were still prairie dogs and were asked to come exterminate them. They were here for several hours and treated the holes with flags that they missed the first time. I contacted them again on May 13, 2023 to let them know that the prairie dogs were still there and asked her to come take care of it. Maureen's response was okay but she never came back to treat the prairie dogs and finish the job. On June 5, 2023 Maureen contacted me and said she had been in the hospital and that she if I wanted them to come out again that they were going to charge me again because I waited too long. I told her that I let her know several times after they were here that the job they were contracted to do and paid for was never finished to begin with. INSTEAD OF HONORING THEIR WORK AND STANDING BEHIND THEIR WORD Maureen chose to FALSELY and FICTITOUSLY ACCUSE ME of bad service in the real estate business, WHEN IN FACT I HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH Maureen and post a bad review on my web page. Below is a copy of Maureen's false review. Worst experience ever.
