F.C. Tucker Company, Inc.

We purchased this condominium listed by F.C. Tucker Company in October, 2011, which has become both a surprise and gross disappointment to us. The most prominent surprise and disappointment relates to Tucker Company’s listing this condo as including “4-season” room, which has proven to be anything but a 4-season room. Specifically, this 4-season room has been as much as 20 degrees colder than the rest of the house during winter temperatures and as much as 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house during warm temperatures. And we haven’t even reached the hot days of summer, yet. Try to imagine the affect this is having on our gas and electric bills. As one of our efforts to resolve this problem, we added two additional vents to this room’s existing heating/air conditioning service which produced grossly minimal improvement. Subsequently, upon acquiring analysis and advice of a professional heating/air conditioning person, we learned this room is not a “4-season” room because the 3-year-old existing heating/air conditioning system is adequate for the primary area of the condo (1411 square feet) only. However, this existing system attempts to service this room in addition to the primary area. The only reasonable solution now seems to be replacing the existing 3-year-old heating/air conditioning system with larger unit at an estimated cost of $20,000. Because of our budget limitations, we are stuck with a room that was purported to be a 4-season room, a room that we cannot comfortably use more than a few months out of a year. The broker, Carl Vargas, was grossly negligent in representing this property. Obviously realtors/brokers should know that they are not free to represent their assumptions as facts. In other words, if and when any realtor/broker is unsure of any facts relating to property he represents, he should not represent his assumptions as facts.

Real Estate Agent: Bill Manning Company: Talk To Tucker I met Bill on a house hunt with my sister, he was filling in for her realtor for the day because he was out of town. I took his card because he was honest and easy to get along with and was thinking about purchasing a house myself. About 3 months later I found a house online that I was very interested in and I called him up to see if he'd work with me. After ok'ing it with my sister's realtor, he and I began working together. We took a look at the house I found online and after I downright fell in love with the house, he told me in no way would he continue to work with me unless I looked at more houses. So, he and I spent a few weeks looking at about 15 other houses, but I still wanted the first one I saw. We started the negotiation process and he was just absolutely fantastic. Keep in mind, I'd never done anything like that before and he walked me through.. step by step... through the entire process. I never felt dumb. I never felt lost. He always had my back through the entire process. The sellers and I negotiated for quite awhile and when we were $5000 apart, he went to bat for me and told the sellers to split the difference. They did and we settled on a price we were both happy with. The rest was easy. He made great recommendations on inspectors, mortgage lenders, etc. On closing day, he stuck by my side and walked me through any questions I had. Bill is just ABSOLUTELY fantastic. He's funny, honest, and genuine. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone who is looking to purchase a new home.
