Raveis William Real Estate

William Raveis is one of the most unethical companies with which I have ever worked. They care about making money, and that is it… they DO NOT care about their clients… all the agents send their children to private school, and they all have their faces plastered on billboards throughout Middlesex County. Last year, when I called to express a concern, the office manager with whom I spoke was very, very rude (she said she wanted to hang up on me), and when I asked her name, she gave me a very generic sounding name. I called one of the agents, told him her name, and he said that no one of that name worked there. I asked him to look at the phone records, but wouldn’t.
I lost money with this company… don’t do the same… go somewhere else; you will be glad you did.

I had the extreme displeasure of working with Marsha Couture from the Middletown office of Raveis during 2011. We put an offer in to a house she listed (she was the seller’s agent). Through our own agent, we made an offer, which was accepted, along with our deposit check. We knew there would be a bit of a delay because it was a short sale and the bank has to approve the offer. Having bought a condo in the past that was a short sale, I knew this could take a while.
Our agent kept in touch and everything seemed to be progressing. Three months later, our agent received an email «All potential buyers are asked to submit their «final and best» offer. I was confused. We had already done this and thought we were under contract. Apparently not. Shady business practices and all, we ended up ousted and someone else went under contract. I never found out what happened to them or if the house ever sold. The only thing I do know is that I will never do business with Marsha Couture again. And if this is the operating mentality of this real estate office overall, then I wouldn’t do business with any of the other agents there either.
