Unfortunately, I had an awful experience with Julie. I am still dealing with the repercussions of purchasing a home with her as my agent, and I may be dealing with them for some time. I'm facing the potential threat of a lien being put on my house post-closing because the seller may not have paid her contractor $6000. The contractor also says he is owed $8000 on the property before this one.Julie highly reviewed this seller when I spoke to her on the phone, as I should have expected because she works in the same office as the listing agent. In multiple ways the home was misrepresented. Julie made no apparent effort to negotiate on my behalf. I incurred all closing costs (I agreed to this in the initial offer). However, I also ended up paying $6500 over the appraised value of the home. With less than one week before closing I find out the house appraised for $19K less than my offer, and Julie presented me with the option to pay $6500 over appraised value or walk away from the purchase. As the client, it feels like she and the listing agent worked together to get the sale, and she did not have her client's interests at heart.She was not present for the home re-inspection, final walk-through, or closing. Her husband (also a realtor) stepped in for her. I had concerns during this that I tried to bring up, but he also glazed over glaring mistakes, including cut wiring to a light fixture and socket. The listing agent was also present and noticed an unsecured front entry on the way out. He mentioned he would reach out to the seller and it would be fixed, but I got nothing in writing and ended up replacing it myself. I have incurred significant costs and am still dealing with the seller refusing to honor a warranty in our PICRA. It feels like Julie got her commission and is done with the situation. She has been less than responsive. More than once, I had to request important documents that were not provided to me at closing. However, even before closing she fell short of my expectations. I was encouraged to make an offer on a home in a neighborhood with significantly higher crime rates than the national average. Luckily, a friend drove through the neighborhood for me when I was states away and unable to be there. She gave me the opinion that she wouldn't feel safe there after dusk. As a single young woman and first time home-buyer, I had hoped Julie would have my best interests at heart and be even the slightest bit forthcoming about concerning properties/areas. As it was, I did countless hours of research and brought in friends to avoid making an offer on this property in what some might consider a bad part of town. Julie expressed no concern about the area's crime rates or poor school ratings.As I am still dealing with the nightmare Julie aEURoehelpedaEUR? me into, I cannot say a lot more as to my situation. However, I could never recommend her in good conscience, especially not to first time home-buyers or those who are not experts in law, construction, and real estate, as well as the area they will be buying in.
