Do not list your home with Max! Max is cocky and lies to get you to list your home with him. He told us to check on Zillow to see the number of houses he sold in the past 12 months compared to other realtors. Then, he offers a lower commission percentage to hook you.We were initially delighted to list our home with a go-getter salesman like Max. He was able to obtain an offer within 6 days of listing our home. The buyer asked us to assist with settlement costs.Here is a list of what actually occurred:aEURc We asked to eliminate the broker fee which is separate from the commission and Max agreed.o When offer was accepted, his office tried to charge us the broker fee.aEURc We asked what other costs besides his commission and PA State transfer tax of 1% would be expected. Max insisted no other fees would be incurred by us as sellers (except possible reconciliation of taxes and utilities between buyer and seller). o Approximately 2 weeks before closing, we received a form from the RE/Max office asking us to list our mortgage bank, provider of water and sewer, tax entities, and trash hauler. This form stated that we would be charged $195 for a aEURoecoordination feeaEUR? to obtain the above certifications.? There was no mention on this form that we would be charged for the certifications.? There was no mention on this form that we could obtain the certificates ourselves. o We then received an email telling us that we were being charged $50 for tax certification and $150 for water/sewer certification. The water/sewer certification was actually $50. When we brought this to their attention, we were told the $150 was a typo. ? We found out that there would be no charge to us if we obtained the certifications ourselves.? The response from RE/Max: we should have told them we wanted to obtain these ourselves.o They tried to charge us for a trash collection certification even though we had a private trash hauler and told them that. RE/Max sent us an email saying that Horsham Township was returning the check because trash collection is not part of our taxes. Makes us wonder aEUR" how did RE/Max know how much to pay for the trash certification and get the check returned? If they called ahead to ask the fee, they would have known it was a private hauler. Things that make us say aEURoehmmm.aEUR?aEURc When the offer was accepted and we agreed to the seller assist, we specifically asked if his commission was based on the lower number and Max replied on several occasions that aEURoeobviouslyaEUR? the commission is after the assist. Fortunately, we had that in writing in a text message, because the settlement sheet (ALTA) calculated the commission on the full sales price. This amounted to approximately $280.o Max sent us an email saying aEURoeSorry, the commission is on the higher number.aEUR? When we sent him a copy of his text, he said he was busy with 18 pendings and aEURoejust forgot.aEUR?Well, apparently Max aEURoeforgetsaEUR? most of conversations and tries to get away with his lies. As our realtor, Max has a fiduciary duty to behave in our best interest. The 2019 Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice Article 12 states:REALTORSA(R) shall be honest and truthful in their real estate communications and shall present a true picture in their advertising, marketing, and other representations. Do not list your home with Max Lomas! He lies, then tries to cover it up with excuses. Max did not even attend the closing with us. He sent his assistant. I guess he was too busy lying his way through the other 18 aEURoependings.aEUR?
