John Foltz - President 1255 W.Baseline Mesa,Arizona 85202 Tel # 831-1010 Realty Executives, a real Rip-off *LIARS *THIEVES *100's OF COMPLAINTS WITH VARIOUS AGENCIES When I went with my Realtor to meet at my new home for a final inspection, I was told nothing would be leaving the home, that the owners were out of state and had taken everything they were going to take. I then gave my broker the balance of my down payment and was handed the keys to my new home. The next day I had a locksmith change all the locks on ALL the doors. Two days later the home was broken into. Fixtures that were permanently affixed to the structure were literally ripped off the wall! I reported this to the police. . At the same time I called my realtor and told her what had happened. My broker and I thought it looked like the former owners had come in and took the items they wanted because my TV, stereo and cameras were not even touched. There was damage to the walls and a large area of the white carpeting was totally ruined! The door jam and door were totally destroyed along with several walls causing over $6,000 in damages. I was told all the items were staying and came with the home. The police said this was a civil matter? I had asked my broker to call Realty (Rip-off) Executives and see if they had anything to do with this. My broker even taped her when calling her. She, the agent admitted breaking in to the home with the owners parents to get things they wanted. They did not want to pay for any of the damages. The Realty Executive Broker bragged that people have tried to sue us before or file complaints with the Department of Real-estate or the Real-estate Department, and that the home owner always looses. After spending $3,242.00 on court costs and legal services and filed claims with all the State agencies that over see Realtors, nothing happened in my favor. The Realty Executive broker was right, we won't win. I later found out that the president Mr. Foltz serves on some of these boards and is the largest home seller in Arizona. SO, .. buyer be ware! If they do you wrong in any way, do not expect any type of justice in the Arizona courts. We called the Better Business Bureau, they do have an unsatisfactory rating with numerous complaints. test2 test40
