My experience with Long Realty in the Tucson foothills was the worst real estate experience in my history and I've bought and sold 14 homes and condos in my lifetime in California, Colorado and Arizona. My agent was Merle Martinovich an she acted as a dual-agent on a condo I bought in Ventana Canyon. Without going into all the details, what ethical agent recommends to the buyer NOT to do an appraisal or an inspection on a 30 year old property just because it's had a few superficial updates? Well, I did an inspection despite her advice and asked for the 30 year old AC unit to be repaired or replaced with a licensed HVAC contractor based on the inspector's advice. What I received was a "handyman receipt" but after closing on the condo realizing that nothing had been done to the unit at all. It's covered in black mold and is rusting out and the temps can never get to below 76 degrees. I am already having respiratory issues due to breathing in this black mold! I've contacted Laura Mance and Merle Martinovich including a letter and photos from my attorney and they are not willing to offer a dime (or ask the sellers) for making this situation right by me! I'm basically SOL because Long Realty hasn't stepped up for me as the buyer at all. In fact, the seller got $5000 over-asking from me and the agent lined her pocket with double the commission. So best of luck to you if you hire Long Realty in the Tucson foothills!
