John Man Group

This is a negative review for John Man, owner of Man Realty and Edward Chan, a Real Estate Agent with by Man Realty. Man Realty advertises as follows: “Man Realty’s goal is to deliver an Affordable, Convenient, and Enjoyable home buying and selling experience with a commitment to excellent service.” This has NOT been my experience. Edward Chan was the listing agent for the Condo that I purchased. During the first week of moving into my Condo I began to encounter several hidden pre-existing problems that Edward Chan and Man Realty failed to disclose during the process of the sale. The problems are as follows: 1.INTERIOR FLOODING – This not only caused damage to the cabinets, drywall and carpet, it also rendered the kitchen unusable for over two (2) months. 2.CONTAMINATED WATER - The water flowing through the kitchen sink faucets was determined to be CONTAMINATED. The type of contamination has been identified as #3 CONTAMINATED. 3.MAJOR PLUMBING REPAIR – This repair involved jack hammering the concrete floor slab to allow for repair of the plumbing issue. 4.ROOF LEAK – Discovered during the following week when the heavy rains came. 5.WINDOW LEAK – Discovered during the week when the heavy rains came. 6.MOLD – Discovered during the week when the heavy rains came. 7.MOLDY CARPET – GUEST BEDROOM – Also discovered during the week when the heavy rains came. I’m still waiting for carpet to be replaced. 8.Edward Chan did however do some re-painting before I moved in, trying to “cover-up” some of the previous damage. SELLER’S DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT – MISREPRESENTED POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST – OWNER/AGENT I had not mentioned that Edward Chan was not only the selling agent; he was also the property owner and resided in the Condo prior to selling it to me. Edward. Chan was not truthful in his disclosure of the condition of the Condo. I can only assume that Edward Chan knew of the costly issues and wanted to “dump” the property as soon as he could. It is my opinion; Edward Chan is a shrewd/owner/agent because it is inconceivable to me that a person can move into a new residence and in a few days be in the midst of MAJOR HIDDEN REPAIRS! There was no honesty forthcoming from Edward Chan and in my opinion Edward Chan is not a trustworthy individual. Both John Man and Edward Chan are very aware that I’ve filed three (3) different insurance repair claims, and I’ve spent over $5,000.00 of my own money for repair of the pre-existing problems not covered by insurance. As of this writing, John Man and Edward Chan have NOT offered me any compensation. I am forwarding this with much more information, documentation and photographs to Sacramento. If this negative review helps the public in any real estate transactions involving John Man Realty and/or Agent, Edward Chan, I have done my due diligence. I do have supporting documentation relative to my complaints. Thank you for taking the time to read my review of Man Realty. Anita B
