William Raveis Real Estate - Wethersfield

I had a great experience with the agents at the Wethersfield William Raveis when buying my condo. Our realtor was smart, diligent, supportive, patient, and incredibly responsive. I ended up getting an unbeatable deal on my condo through the negotiations of my realtor and plan to use this team in the future when selling our condo and buying a house. I cant say enough positive things!

William Raveis is a truly horrendous company, one of the worst real estate and mortgage companies in existence.    Real low-end sleaze.

After anxiously awaiting summer vacation in our favorite place, Cape Cod MA, we arrived at our rental home to find that it had been misrepresented.  The house at 14 Elm Lane South Yarmouth did not look anything like it did in pictures.  My husband and I became suspicious when we pulled up and noted that the lawn and bushes were unkempt.  The front porch and its furnishings were covered in cobwebs, pollen, and dust.  Upon entering the home it seemed dark and dreary. There was an odor throughout. The enclosed porch had not been cleaned at all.  There was grass on the carpet and the windows/doors were covered in fingerprints and dog "slime".  The carpeting in the home was beyond belief!  Stains everywhere!  It appeared that a dog/s relieved themselves and then walked around the house spreading it!  I could not bring myself to stay in the house and wouldn't have gotten into one of their beds.  I immediately called the agent who handled the transaction. She said that they'd never heard anything about this situation and were under the impression that it was an "immaculate" home.  She had nothing else to offer but said we could get a refund if we left immediately.  Fortunately I went right to work and found a lovely home but the expense, stress and disappointment was immense.  It took more than 2 weeks to receive our rent back from the company.  What about electronic transfers????  Also, they kept a $114 "handling fee"!  Isn't that the responsibility of the owner and/or the real estate company????  They just didn't care, weren't familiar with the property, and obviously only wanted the money.  No customer service whatsoever!  BEWARE

My experience was with a selling agent, Wendy Diehl. We put in an offer in a timely manner, which she let expire without comment. The next day she came back and said they had another higher offer that would be accepted, but if it fell through, they would get back to us. Surprise, surprise, it "fell through" (who knows if this was even true) and that if we raised our offer by $10-15k, it would likely be accepted. We did and submitted before the new offer deadline, and then just waited while our offer again expired without comment. After my agent contacted her several times, she finally got back to us 2 days later to tell us she again had another higher offer.I now believe she uses multiple offer deadlines while simultaneously fishing for higher offers leaving the buyers (or maybe having multiple offers was a lie) hanging while they miss out on other priorities. Then tells them the higher offer fell through, and has buyers resubmit new, higher offers and AGAIN goes fishing for more offers.She did not respond to inquiries about timing because she had "a family thing" and just shrugged off our obvious frustration. When I called her on this unprofessional behavior, her response was "Until an offer is signed by all parties and earnest money received, it is not under contract." So, apparently this means because her behavior was "legal" it was ethical.Unprofessional and unethical behavior all around, non-responsive, and extremely bad agent. I will never buy from this agent, agency, and will tell everyone I know about this experience.

William Raveis, and specifically agent Matthew Tulley, have made the nightmare of Covid-19 even more stressful due to their blatant disrespect for our house's tenants. During the entirety of quarantine, this agent has brought strangers into our home nearly weekly without any effort to facilitate virtual showings, a total lack of clear communication, and frequent attempts to get around the protections in our lease in terms of when we're obligated to provide access to our unit. We repeatedly needed to remind Matthew and the people he brought into our home to wear masks, and they made no effort to sanitize the apartment before leaving. This agent and company represent the worst of the Boston real estate scene in terms of tenants' rights and basic human decency. This treatment would be terrible under normal circumstances, but during Covid-19, it is inexcusable. These people have put my family in danger for the sake of money.
