Mark Chrzanowski

For starters, Mark is a very pushy realtor. He will rush you into buying any home you set foot into. He will try to get you to picture yourself living in the home and get your 'feel' for the place. Once my wife and I finally decided on a home, things only got worse. He lied to us and hid information from us. As for being a liar, the contract that we were talked into signing said that electric upgrade would be covered up to $1,500 worth. The overall estimate for electric upgrade was around $3,500. He told us vocally (by word of mouth) that what the sellers meant was that they would cover that much and us dropping seller's assist would pay for the rest. When in fact it was not worded that way and that is not what they meant at all. After signing the contract, I took it upon myself to call the electrician who would be performing the work and they said that they were only going to upgrade/fix the upstairs and NOT the downstairs. This in fact indicates that they are only paying for half of the work ($1,500). If the rest of the work was not performed, insurance would not cover it. As for hiding things from us, the bank likes to play head games with us. After the house was appraised, they found 3 problems that were wrong. The foundation of the basement needed inspected, the basement needed mold testing done, and the garage needed a couple nails in it to resecure a board. After we had the basement foundation inspected, we were told that the foundation was ok. Then we tested the mold and it was okay. No mold found. Then we touched base with him and he added ANOTHER (4th) problem that he did not present to us before. This was that the foundation had cracks in it. This was after we had already put money into the mold test and other things. We did not have money left for the fixing and neither did the sellers. What's more important and my point is that, he did not tell us of this problem from the beginning. He also asked us to extend the contract a 3rd time to extend our Closing Date. That part was riduculous. He wasted our time and made things difficult. If he (or the bank) would have told us all the things wrong with the house from the beginning, then there would not be a problem. Since they told us things wrong with the house ONE BY ONE, this was showing dis-honesty on their side. My wife and I backed out of the deal and ended up not buying the house. We are now looking for another realtor who is honest.
