We were looking for a place to rent, and although our price range was a little on the lower end of things, Venessa Gutierrez with VIP Realty was very helpful and found us a handful of great places to check out. The places she found not only fit our budget, but had all the desired perks we had been looking for (good sized kitchen, and enough square footage for all of our STUFF!). We eventually rented a place in Oak Lawn that she found for us -- the other realtor (representing the owner) was a bit of a tricky snake in the grass, but Venessa did everything she could to keep him from screwing us over. One day, when it comes time to be big kids and buy a house... we know which realtor we will be calling! read more

Very poor communication with their residents. Slow to respond. When you email them they skim through the email and do not address your concerns or needs. So you are left repeating and waiting again. They may be great when it comes to owners but not tenants. So, if you are interested in renting a home where they're the management company I would continue your search. Zero compassion for people. read more

This is one of the most painful real estate transactions I have ever had. I truly believe it a couple old sayings, especially now! You get what you pay for and one really can make a mountain out of a mole hill. After using VIP a couple years ago with a couple of other transactions that were challenging but completed relatively on time with the excuses being blamed on the tenant. I reached back out to Shawna King from VIP and asked her about listing two duplexes in the Oak Cliff area. She pushed to communicate with the tenants so she would not have to deal with the property manager because he was challenging distance away for her to arrange inspections and walk throughs. She also wanted to disturb the tenants with open houses and views before offers. I put my foot down and didn't allow open houses. I made it clear when the properties were leased to and rejected an offer with FHA financing because it would require the buyer to occupy the investment property prior to the lease expiring. Once we got an accepted offer this still turned out to be the case. I refused on multiple occasions to involve the tenants. Shawna took it upon herself to have the buyer and the tenant negotiate a buyout, offering the tenant two months free rent to leave early. By now, you can assume escrow was delayed and I was not receiving rent. The appraisal came in very under valued and the deal was going to fall out of escrow. I was asked for a third extension while the lenders requested new appraisal from an appraiser that does investment property regularly. When I first contacted Shawna about listing the two properties, she reached out and friended me on Facebook. Therefore, while my deal was going down the drain and she was telling me how hard she was working to save the deal I was seeing her posts from her "girls weekend" in San Francisco. #girlsweekend #welldeservedbreak Some how by a wing and a prayer the new appraisal was completed and the transaction went through. However, taking a difficult situation of a poor appraisal was exacerbated by the fact the realtor let the buyer talk to and negotiate with the tenants prior to ownership. I reached out many times to the agent and the broker while this transaction was troubled and my calls and emails would go unanswered or they would have some third party call me back like the lender. Why the seller was talking to the lender was beyond me. However, why the buyer was talking to the tenants was also unbelievable. This is my first Yelp review ever! I was just going to let this go and never do business with VIP again, however being emailed to be compensated for a positive review, made me sign up. I wanted to warn other that any positive response they may be seeing could have been paid for. #honestyisthebestmedicine #yougetwhatyoupayfor #makingmountainoutofmolehill read more

I contacted Shawna King late 2019. We were building a house and knew we would not be ready to list ours until late May 2020. Shawna was so great to deal with. Even with that much noticed she kept in touch and I kept her posted. She even offered a "coming soon" listing for Agents. We had so much traffic on the house and she kept us informed. It took the perfect buyers and she help us negotiate thru the process. I would not hesitate to recommend her to list your home or find your next home. Shawna King truly made it a great experience! THANK YOU SHAWNA!!!! read more

Shawna King listed a house in Fort Worth that I made an offer on, through my realtor. She had absolutely no communication with my realtor. After numerous texts and phone calls it took her 4 days to finally communicate that the owner had accepted another offer. She was very unprofessional in her lack of communication. My realtor and I deserved to a phone call, even if it was to ask for more time. This realtor does not represent the home owner or VIP Realty very well. Again very unprofessional. read more

I left my initial review on the 4th. The following day, I received a general email from VIP trying to bribe people with gift cards and contest entries in exchange for a positive Yelp review (see pic). That ship has already sailed! I felt even less valued as a former customer because they gave no acknowledgement of the service issues that were raised by the first review, but I'm worth soliciting for bogus praise to boost their online reputation. I would hope that there are some terrific agents and realtors working there. Several times when we tried to speak with Shawna, she or her assistant would state that she was busy "going into a training" or "in a meeting." If that was the case, then it's heartening to see that the company is trying to develop its staff and improve their quality of service. Again, to summarize: I would advise anyone hiring VIP Realty to request one of the positively reviewed agents, and to be wary of Shawna King as their agent. read more

VIP Realty - I will be emailing valuedvipclient@gmail.com to let them know about my reviews, for sure. - Real Estate Services Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I'm a homeowner, not an investor, although I've been buying/selling homes due to relocation in the past 15 years and have worked with a good share of professional realtors. Shawna King at VIP Realty is by far the worst! Very unpleasant to deal with, lacks communication & personal skills, never reads emails carefully, not responsive, and very rude when you call her during "Spring break!" (WTF? Seriously? Are you a professional or a college kid?). She also use her personal life as excuses, extremely unprofessional. The worst part - she provided falsified invoices that claimed $150K worth of renovation that was never done to the house (only $30K worth of work was actually carried out). We had to find out from the appraisers. Although she kept emphasizing the "$150K+ upgrades" during the negotiation process, VERY MISLEADING! (and all well-documented with proof). I'd stay clear from this agent at all costs! read more

Really enjoyed working with our agent, Natalie. VIP Realty was the perfect choice for us as we do much of the housing search ourselves online - so getting the rebate from our home purchase working with them saved us thousands! read more

They will screw up your property if you sell with them! They take your $500.00, the up front money..They then hire an ignorant salesperson to do your bidding. When you question them they threaten you can cancel your contract anytime. This is after they get your money. Is this the kind of chance I would take again? NO f way! read more

Amanda was awesome! She really knows her stuff and was able to confidently guide my wife and I through every step from start to closing! She was always available for us no matter how small the question. Couldn't have had a smoother experience! Thank you Amanda and the VIP team! read more

Can't really give an option on the company, we chose them for there price. Our realtor Shawna King was an absolute disappointment! She was late for meetings, canceled meetings she made with us for family events, rarely answered our questions, never gave us her opinion on her thoughts for really important decisions, plainly put we needed help which she did not provide. We did close and look forward to moving on! read more

Amanda Gage from VIP Realty was our agent. She was very friendly and helpful throughout the home buying process. She was quick to respond by email or text to any questions or needs that we had. She recommended our lender that came in saved our contract on the house when our initial lender made mistakes and was unwilling to fix them. I would definitely recommend her and VIP Realty. read more

This is the second time we have used Shawna and VIP Realty and we couldn't have had better service or a better experience! Shawna is a masterful negotiator and communicator. She kept us in the loop and advised us on what to do. We moved out of state or we would certainly use her again in the future! Can't say enough positive things about both VIP and Shawna! Karen and Gary Thomason read more

We have used VIP Realty and realtor Leticia Cuellar twice in the last 5 years and have been extremely happy each time. She is low pressure and a joy to work with. Leticia quickly responds to questions and moved quickly once we made our decision and were ready to proceed. Hopefully we don't move again for a while but if/when we do, we will use Leticia and VIP Realty again! read more

Shuchi Agrawal helped us acquire our first investment property and the whole end to end process was very professionally handled, very prompt, and she diligently worked to ensure our interests were duly taken into consideration The entire process of buying the property was completed in less than a month and the property rented out in a day. She truly understands the needs of the client and adjusts the pace accordingly. In short we are quite elated working with her and will go to her for future requirements! read more

Rhonda C. is a gem! She was always available when we needed her, and she is very knowledgeable about the process. While searching for my home, Rhonda was able to provide valuable information about things I had never considered. With Rhonda's help, I was able to find my dream home! read more

Mary Garcia was the best realtor I could have had helping me sell and buy a new home. She made the process so easy and actually caught an error in the sale of my home that got us another 1k. She is thorough and works around the clock to make sure her clients are taken care of. VIP is lucky to have someone like her! read more

Amanda with VIP realty listed our home in Fort Worth. We paid the $2000 flat fee to list. Amanda worked with us throughout the process professionally, we saved thousands of dollars by working with her and we are very pleased with the whole process. We do recommend her. read more

I have saved thousands and thousands of dollars by using this company on two different occasions. For $500 they will list your home on MLS which everyone has access to now so if anyone likes it they can have their Realtor show your home. They also provide a lockbox, yard sign and a market analysis of your neighborhood. Both times my homes sold very quickly. I will never pay a 3% listing commission again. Thanks VIP! read more

Daniel Shaff is by far the best Realtor I have ever worked with or known. He is far more knowledgeable, more respectful, actual answers his phone or calls you back right away, willing to go the extra mile and beyond, puts out all kinds of fires that you don't even know about. He is the epitome of what a Realtor should be. My wife and I had several horrible experiences in the past with Realtors who really don't care about you. They don't return your call until several days later or don't even really help you find a house. Daniel cares! He sold our home in less than a week and found us a home right before we sold ours. He has become a good friend to us and I am so glad we found him! read more

VIP Realty agent Jennifer in Fort Worth is absolutely horrible. The seller of the home on Winthrop is even worse. We offered a full price offer on his home with closing cost paid by us. Hardly a dime was coming out of his pocket. They terminated the contract on the home becuase the money was held up in the mail and not physically in their hands in less than a week; I offered to drive cash or check to their office or home in the middle of the night when I found out they had not received the money yet. Therefore my family with small children has no place to live. The home was not a perfect home it has no garage and no storage, but is in a prime location. There is also a possibility of drainage because the front yard slopes. Please be cautious from buying from this agent and any homes listed by CMFC because they are very difficulto to work with. read more
