Smith & Associates

Let me tell you about my experience with Smith and Associates! I listed my home with them and they quickly had a buyer that offered a very low price. The agent encouraged me to take the offer… because this cute young couple who went to the trouble of writing me a sweet letter detailing how they loved my house… what she didn’t disclose to me was the buyer was her nephew and she was representing him in the transaction. I found this out after I sold my bay view property. I hope they all rot in hell!

I called this property management to get a little more information on a property that I was interested in. After numerous calls, I finally got connected to Dominique Despointes. I have to say he was one of rudest realtors I have ever spoken to. Horrible experience, Like these people are sales people and they treat their customers with such disrespect. I would STAY AWAY from this property managment. They may have beautiful apartments/​condos in their inventory but they do not have the brain capacity to understand the first rule of customer service.

Horrible experience. The realtor Rebecka calhoon brought buyers to our home we were selling. Our first time (meeting her) was on the home inspection she walked in our home like she owned the place. Then didn’t even have the respect to introduce herself even though she was receiving a 3% commission off of us. Before I get started on the rest let me just say we were not using a realtor ourselves. So in return Rebecka decided to take full advantage of us and made us believe we had to pay up to $ 750 in any repairs that the inspector found before the appraisal was done. We paid for a small roof repair and also a couple minor repairs that pretty much took all of the 750. Then at closing come to find out we weren’t required to do any of the repairs and had to pay an extra $ 750. So this is now at $ 1500. Not to mention the closing was to be on a Friday and it got pushed back to the following Wednesday. That Saturday the air conditioner got a small pin hole leak in the copper line and trying to be good people and do the right thing we paid $ 450 to have it repaired when in all honesty it shouldn’t have been our problem. Again at the closing Rebecka was just completely unprofessional and rude and did not keep a professional attitude and pretty much admitted she took advantage of us. I will make it my personal mission to make sure I put Rebecka out there on every website and make sure her reputation is ruined. God knows who does right and who does wrong and she will get hers in the long run. There’s so much more I could add buy I’ve already wrote to much. Thanks for reading.

I don’t write reviews unless there is a significant positive experience. We had the opportunity to work with Smith and Associates agent Jane Spector. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She prepped for our house hunting visit, put in three full days while we were there searching, and kept us informed and worked diligently to close the deal with the seller’s agency. Jane always had a positive attitude. She provided a lot of useful information, and was always looking out for our best interest. Jane has a large network of community contacts who also proved to be helpful in the purchasing process. We have found the people that Jane has referred us to, to be highly professional and ethical people. Jane put in the time and effort to make the deal and has continued to be available as we settle into our new home. In a time when good customer service is a rarity– We received excellent customer service and would highly recommend Jane Spector with Smith and Associates for your real estate needs.

Chris Lindemoen. Complete waste of time! Unprofessional! I met with Chris Lindemoen of smith and associates looking to buy a house. The day we were supposed to meet view properties he texted me to stand me up. He told me he would call me later to reschedule for the next day. He never called. The next morning I received an email from him dropping because my budget was to low for his company. This gutless weasel wasted a week of my time because he didn’t have enough brains or balls to tell me the truth.

Not incredibly impressed by the Smith & Associates team. I’ve contacted them about multiple rental listings, the secretary is rude and then connects you to their individual agents. One never called back after I left a voicemail, another’s went to a voicemail box that was full so I couldn’t even leave a message. So far I’ve gotten zero information about the properties. Waste of my time. I won’t be looking into any more of their listings from now on.

I just purchased my home through Smith and Associates. The agents and office were very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I felt very good knowing we had a great head start on the market. My agent listened to what I was looking for and found exactly what I wanted. We closed three weeks ago and i couldn’t be happier. I have already recommended three of my friends work with Smith.

Smith and Associates has one of the nastiest receptionists I’ve ever encountered. I wish that I could say we stopped right there with our attempted, basic inquiries, but we kept going and worked with one of the most inept realtors who didn’t know how to work the computer, nor the MLS website. Needless to say, it was a learning experience for my family and myself, and we quickly switched to a different company.
