The reviews collectively paint a grim picture of the real estate company, with three out of four reviewers expressing extreme dissatisfaction with their experiences.
Professionalism and Communication
The company's professionalism and communication skills have been called into question, with reviewers citing instances of rudeness, neglect of duties, and broken promises. One reviewer even reported being hung up on while inquiring about property availability.
