I worked with Mike Thompson about a year ago on a new build with a client. Although there were hiccups along the way, as a professional real estate agent - I knew those were to be expected.
I referred another client to WM Construction this year. In an effort to save my client money, he suggested not using real estate agents (this is after a real estate agent already referred him the client). As much as I can understand not using the listing agent (since there is no listing of the home), to suggest not using the agent who was the SOLE reason for sending the client in the first place..... was shocking.
When I called Mike to ask him if this was normal practice; he was rude, short and completely unprofessional. He tried to imply that since the client was family, I should not worry about making any money. He said he thought I could help them buy the land as payment and not take anything from the build.
If you are a real estate agent - I would HIGHLY suggest getting documents signed by your clients before introducing them to this builder. He is unethical and unprofessional. He even went on to say he has no legal obligation to the real estate agents who refer to him. This may be correct, but moral and ethical obligations are different in my view. read more
