Deceptive business practices. check out Better Business Bureau complaints. I normally don't write reviews. I only make a comment once every a few years the most. This is too bad for me to write a review. It is just a huge waste of time & energy on top of a financial loss. Also, they have removed a lot of bad reviews and complaints through under the table activities. The positive reviews were not many back in Sept. 2024. Instead, I saw a lot of bad ones. I noticed that they also added many fake good reviews after Sept. 2024. Read the real complaints and see the deceptions in their business practices. The positive reviews are possibly results of manipulations of their customers & fake reviews. Mike White and the team behind him (Seth Castillo & Stephanie Brand) put on shows and lied without blinking their eyes. They make money by taking advantage of people's situations and making empty promises. Their contract starts with standard information and hides their "exclusive rights" at the costs of clients' responsibilities/financial burden/time/energy in the Addendum. If you understand what they talk about in words as normal business practices, they meant something else.For instance, both parties agree on a closing date. They promote their "fast no hassle closing" to get you to sign a contract. They have the agreed closing date typed in the contract as a date both sides agreed. They have a hidden clause at the end that the closing date automatically extends when they are still making an "effort" to close - which they pretended to make an effort, while they actually intentionally drag the process by reviewing solutions/alternatives & requesting documents at different times for numerous reviews from their "legal" because they have too many liabilities (when they already knew these liabilities from the very beginning buying as is). A solution that took me 2 munities to think of for them is: we have exhausted all of our solutions; the only option is to wait.When you want to terminate the contract because it is taking too long (way passed agreed closing date), they tell you that it is not allowed, because the closing date extends automatically when they are still making an "effort", so you are in contract until they want to close, or they want to end the deal. Or they give you an option to terminate the contract by paying them $5,000 when you sell the house to someone else to cover their interests. My God, what is the point a buyer pays earnest money? My God, what's the point of agreeing on a closing date by both parties, when it can keep extending when buyer is still making an "effort" - "at the Buyer's sole discretion [additional closing period]". And "Seller shall make every effort to cooperative with title curative work and due diligence work if required".All of these are at your responsibilities to minimize their cost and maximize their gain on top of an already low contract price they get due to their "fast closing" or other promoted benefits. For a about month time from the contract signed, they could not even confirm any date for any kind of next step. Once they start to give you a date, the date will probably be kept moving out due to all kinds of created situations like the complaints in the above link.Tons of hidden clauses in the Addendum A, which basically overwrites anything in the regular contract that you believe you sign. delays that they intentionally created by using perceived client situations as their excuses. "As soon as possible" is only one of their empty words and one of their ways to delay without giving out any date. It meant a few days at least. One excuse after another to delay the process. Full of lies, manipulations, & gaslighting. Just like the complaints of their clients in the link above.The above link also mentioned that the already low contract price kept being cut down for various excuses when you are patient enough to get to closing time. Definitely need a lawyer in reviewing your legal document with them. It can be very costly for most families who sell "as-is". After their tricks in the Addendum (a ton of them hidden there) are pointed out, they would probably figure out other ways to deceive. The best option is to stay away from them.
