Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors - Glen Arbor

Nate Carr's Quest to Save the World _{on Google}

Jan 12th, 2021

The worst experience I've ever had buying/selling property. Last summer, I listed a property with this company. My agent, Tim Peterson, was arrogant, dismissive, and unprofessional. Even though I explicitly indicated that I wanted the listing to look exactly like a similar listing on their website, he failed to complete this simple task, then flat out refused to rectify the situation.
It was obvious that he intended to do the absolute bare minimum, and he succeeded. I told him that I was a motivated seller, and it's likely that he communicated this to the first bidder, who completely lowballed me. He then strongly encouraged me to accept one of the worst real estate offers imaginable. I knew that I could grow the money much faster in the stock market, so I countered, then we agreed on a low price.
Now, their subsidiary, Woodland Title is their default choice to process the paperwork. They know that most people just accept the default, and they use this tendency to their financial advantage. I had just closed on another piece of property in the Upper Peninsula with another Coldwell franchise, so I assumed that the terms would be the same; however, I couldn't have been more wrong. The people at Woodland Title add even more exploitative clauses in a deceitful attempt to maximize their gains. Every step of the way, these people violated the law by not obeying their fiduciary duties. I would sooner give my property away, then work with these people again. If you select this company and these agents as your realtors, you will regret it.
