Buyers beware
August 2, 2019

Worse real estate transaction ever, it took over 40 days from contract expiration date to close a CASH deal, seemed all they wanted to discuss cancellation fees more then finish the deal specially when we provided everything they wanted. Also made us pay for their title company who did NOTHING even though we had our own. BUYERS BEWARE No sense of urgency, never call only emails. Have done several real estate deals in nyc, nj and pa, will never buy through them again

1st they don't return the $2500 deposit even a "few" days after the end of the auction. Secondly i was bidding on a property that supposedly ended with 30 seconds remaining and they extended the auction a whole 24 hours. What a joke. Never again. Don't waste your time. On top of this when i hit the chat button 5 days after the auction ended to inquire about the hold on my credit card being lifted the representative made up his own policy and told me it would be a whole 7 days before the hold was released. The website clearly stated a few days after the end of the auction.
