Darrell Friess

We recently sold our house. We selected this realtor because a family member used to work with his wife. His wife is his broker. We met Darrell in March of 2013, and signed a listing agreement. We were promised a copy which we never received until 7 months later after numerous requests. From March 2013 till Sept. 2013 the day we signed was the only day we saw him. He lost us the initial offer, which my husband salvaged. He advised is against disclosing repairs (which is required), he did not have answers to basic questions, we had to miss lots of work so we could be at the property for things any other realtor would have been present for. He didn't have us sign the original purchase agreement until a week before we closed. He released our home inspection to the appraiser after we told him not to. This cost us lots of money as the appraisal required all those items be repaired. This was an AS IS SALE! He never responded to emails from buyers realtor, the lender, the appraiser he would simply forward them onto us with no response, advice or acknowledgement. We ask for things to be negotiated and he wouldn't. We had to write to the other realtor with our own counter. Most people involved didn't even realize we had a realtor, as we were the only ones anyone ever heard from. His involvement insured we received the worst possible deal. We would have loved to fire him but were advised not to, and wait till the end and then take action. He did all these things knowing we were turning around and purchasing 2 more properties, so he should have been motivated! He let contracts expire without renewing and we were calling and texting and he wouldn't respond. We had to get a renewed contract from the buyers realtor. We went to his broker who is his wife, and there is obviously a reason they're married. She was as incompetent as he. It took her 5 days to email our original paperwork and disregarded all our concerns. You could randomly pick any other realtor and they would be better.
