Frank Prindle-RE/MAX Allegiance

After having non-​paying tenants evicted, having them cause significant damage to my house, spending thousands of dollars repairing it and refurbishing the property, and getting it ready to sell, I contacted this agency to see if they could help me sell the home. It was already on the market, and I already had to lower the price, because it just wasn’t getting the traffic. I’d heard about them on the radio, and hoped that their guarantee that if they couldn’t sell it, they would buy it was true.
Nope.
They wouldn’t tell me a reason. The woman with whom I spoke basically said, «I can’t legally tell you anything about the home, and I can only tell you if we can help you or not.» I figured that was fine, since it is currently listed with another agent. I just wanted to see if there were other options out there. «The answer is no,» she went on. That’s it. That was the exact wording — verbatim.
I politely thanked her and hung up. Then I thought of how rude and abrupt that call was.
I guess they only agree to list homes they’re 100 percent sure they can sell. That’s fine, since it reduces their risk and is probably a prudent business practice. But their radio ads make it sound like they’re so sure they can sell ANY home, they’ll guarantee it by promising to buy it if they can’t. Obviously that’s misleading at best and an outright lie at worst.

We are in the process of hopefully purchasing a home listed by Frank Prindle & Associates & RE/​MAX Allegiance. So far not impressed and extremely frustrated. We first toured the home on Sat, Oct 25, 2014 and all the utilities were off — no problem — the home was vacated in August. However since putting the home under contract in early November our agents had verbal and written confirmation from the Prindle Team that utilities were turned on, so we booked and PAID for an inspection only to find out everything was STILL OFF. So now we have to pay for SECOND inspection after waiting for Washington Gas to come turn the gas on. Now approaching freezing temperatures and close date in December I’m hoping they’re not dumb and cheap enough to insist on keeping utilities off until close. I would never recommend working with them to anyone. They should pay for our second inspection but unfortunately buying a home doesn’t work that way.

We were listed w/​someone else for almost a year. We got no where until you stepped in.

Thanks So Much For Our Quick Sale. Only 5 Days On The Market. Wow!

Thanks for the extra effort provided in getting our home sold. Great job!
