BOBMANUEL INVESTMENTS
GBWorst Title Company If I could give zero stars I would. Some of the most incompetent people in the business. I’ve only dealt with them twice. The first time they didn’t collect all of the money from buyer, stated the transaction as closed and took the difference out of my commission. The second time they didn’t get the sellers signature or collect enough money from buyer. Do not EVER use them under any circumstances unless you like horrible service.

GBViewings on Vacant Properties with Licensed Agents Amanda answered. How do you expect to sell these properties if they cannot be accessed for showings even though they are vacant? Sight unseen bidding is lower to anticipate repairs by investors, who buy these homes. Buyers assume the property is a total gut if they cannot be given access with their licensed real estate agent to evaluate. Work together with agents to get higher bids by allowing showings when properties are vacant. Agents are in the middle and most walk away because of the issues.

GBMandy answered several questions I had… Mandy answered several questions I had very promptly; however, I wanted her to extend to the Seller my availability and willingness to negotiate but that was never done. (The trailer had been bid on twice unsuccessfully because the Reserve was not met. The trailer had been destroyed and I imagine the Seller does not know its condition.) Also, I was told it would be auctioned again July 16 but it is not showing up on the site. I don't know if it was sold "behind the scenes" or if Seller went to another auction company. I wish the Chat People had more information than just the standardized responses....

GBTo the rep from Hudson and Marshall: To the rep from Hudson and Marshall: The things you named as "standard auction practice" might indeed be common practice in auctions. That doesn't mean the practices make any real sense, or make for a good consumer experience, which is what the reviewers here are rating you on. Ex: Why start an auction at a price below what is acceptable to the seller, i.e. below the reserve? Be honest about it and start it at the reserve price! Doing otherwise makes a customer feel duped. Any talk of this " helping to make a deal" is just nonsense, and smart consumers see it as an attempt to create excitement over an illusion.

GBTimely polite effective response. I emailed my problem on Sunday & Monday before noon all was resolved. Mandy followed up consistently to make sure access to the site was successful. I won't hesitate to reach out with any questions that come up.
