I didnt deal with Gusty, I worked with Garrett Messer. After all the hype, I was disappointed with Garretts attitude and the fact that I only saw him face to face one time prior to closing. I didnt see where he was showing the house but he made it a point to tell me I needed to clean the house really well every chance he got. If he was never in the house, how did he know how it looked? Yes, this was hurtful as well as being reminded that the house needed lots of work in his opinion. Never once did Garrett say, you have a nice home. If I were selling someones home, I would say something nice to them. When he came out to meet us, I told him it wasnt ready to show. It still needed work so it was expected not to be ready. He was pushing and pushing to meet so I finally said ok. When you get cold calls from someone for months and finally agree to meet with the understanding that its not ready, then its NOT ready. Instead, it was on the market that day. I didnt mind signing a contract but I didnt know that meant on the market. Thats not an issue. I had decided to go with Gusty Gulas when I sold several years ago. Garrett was just the most aggressive at the moment which seemed good. He did keep people looking and told me his marketing was working but my house was just not worth the $$. Its really a shame because I had a solid offer in October, 2021 for 275 with no commission involved. That offer was from someone who knows the market and was making a low offer. The couple are very familiar with the property and felt they were coming in about 30 low. I dont know what the house appraised for, it would be interesting to know, the appraiser was very nice. I was also very uncomfortable at the closing with the discussion of the purchasers personal information regarding what they had to do to qualify for the loan. I believe its very embarrassing for those things to be discussed with others present. If it were me, I would be mortified. Its the first time Ive been in a joint closing and I must say I hope its the last. Garrett did come help for a couple of hours the day of closing when we were trying to finish getting out of the house. I asked Garrett on Tuesday with closing on Thursday to contact the purchasers and let them know that we needed until Friday to finish cleaning out. He flat refused. I asked him again Wednesday to contact the purchasers and let them know we needed until Friday, again he flat refused. Thursday am Garrett showed up and helped for a couple of hours and said were going to have to give them something for being late in a very snotty tone like I was a 2 year old. Since I had been trying to get him to work something out with them for 2 days I was quite aggravated and told him that this wasnt my first time selling a house and I wasnt am idiot. He basically stomped out and I didnt hear anything else. When I got to closing, I was TOLD I was paying for a hotel and a maid to clean the house. Again, with my nasty house. I said, excuse me, where did this come from? Garrett and the other realtor gave me an aEUR~eat shit and die look and went back to their chat. The other realtor asked Garrett about him getting a dumpster out to the house, I said, I did. After all, I signed the contract and set up payment which is what initiated the dumpster coming out and I called for it to be picked up. Garrett proceeded to tell her all about how many favors he called in to get the dumpster out there. Lol. I happen to have 30 years running construction offices and know the owners of a couple of dumpster companies too. Its not that big of a deal. We left the house to go to the dump and eat Thursday evening and Garrett was blowing up my phone wanting to know where we were. I was ready to go off on him and gave the phone to my son after texting, aEUR~are we not allowed to eat? I dont know what the conversation was but when we got back to the house after dinner the new owner said lets call it a night and finish tomorrow. Between the new owners and ourselves, we determined that the biggest problem we were having was that realtors. Things were much better when we dealt with each other without Garrett and his counterpart.
