Mr Richard Smith is completely unethical and unprofessional. He brings buyers in a full two hours prior to their appointment time, and then writes half a dozen incorrect and incomplete offers, (even our names were incorrect), all the while threatening the seller that the deal will fall through if we don't just give him what he wants.
After a signed contract is reached, you still don't have a buyer. The inspection will take place promptly, but the demands won't come until the last possible day, (in our case over two weeks later). When you respond appropriately, that you will fix the items stated in the contract, he will commit extortion as follows
"XXX
Yes, I received the email from XXX about the window repairs and compensation. After talking with my client, she wants to move forward with the release UNLESS the owners are willing to credit $5000 toward fixes & appliances.
In regards to the release and seller taking care of the necessary fixes per the contract, we feel there is one item on the list that the seller did not take care per our discussions with Bryon King. With that said, my client is talking with her attorney and planning to do what is necessary to receive the full earnest deposit.
Thanks,
Richard Smith"
Windows and Appliances were never in the contract at all. I kindly proceeded with getting the class action claim through to the determination process after we had a contract, but I didn't have to; and he refuses to tell us what the 'one item' is prior to mediation.
Now he's holding our house hostage and refusing to sign a release unless we either agree to refund the earnest money that is rightfully ours, ($2500), or we hand over $5000 to a seller who was apparently never told that the house didn't come with a refrigerator.
She should be suing him for not taking care of her, not fighting us.
