JORDAN REAL ESTATE INC.

Description of Work: My experience with Renee Jordan originates from the years 2003-2005. She brokers a small Real Estate firm in the lovely bay side City of Benicia of Bankrupt California. I had a stunning 10 month new house to sell in Green Valley (Fairfield) so I could execute a 1031 real estate exchange to purchase another Victorian Style house in then exploding Hercules. The house was in the Ventana development close to Safeway and CVS and built by notorious Northern Citation. It was two stories tall, had a back yard of over 4000 square feet and a back yard lawn of 3300 square feet. It was accented with all stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and was blessed with a view of the creek and the hills from the master bedroom. I chose an agent who was working for Renee to sell the house in the summer of 2004. We signed a listing agreement as usual and the house was placed on the market for sale just under $600,000.. We had a hard time at first to sell the house since the tenants had just moved out of the house and did not leave the house in the same immaculate condition as they moved in. The one year new kitchen grout had mold growing in it, old furniture was left behind, and the lawn clippings from the awesome 3300 square foot lawn was thrown in garbage containers in the garage to rot. The tenants did not pay the garbage bill so there was no garbage service to remove the debris. I had to quickly hide these in the garage. After several weeks, Renee's agent told me that the feedback from the visiting buyers was that many thought there was a dead animal that had been trapped and died in between the walls of the house while it was being built. That belief had sent many perspective buyers running out the front door. I could not understand how intelligent people could seriously believe that, but he insisted that several people firmly believed it and that was why they did not want the house. I then had to rapidly dispose of all the tenants belongings and the rotting grass clippings. After that, the house sold within a month. The escrow went smoothly and there were no problems. Renee's office took care of all the disclosures and inspections that were required to sell the house. The 1031 exchange went smoothly as expected. I then had a house in to become "The Crumbling Pillars of Hercules".
