If you going to do business with Equity First Realty; buyer, rentor, investor, or any other business relationship. Please be advised the following.
- If there lips are moving they are always speaking anything but the truth.
- Get any thing they say in writing via certified mail.
- Please do not think what you see is what you get.
- (here are some examples)
- Dear Tenent, we never received you're payment so we are requiring $555.66 payment or you are evicted.
- You prove payment via e-mail and they state they can't read it, (a copy of the same email was sent to both banks involved and both banks had no trouble reading the e mail.
- You report a problem i.e. my dishwasher or refrigerator is not working; it takes weeks to get a reply.
- Equity First Realty stories change depending on whom you speak.
- They want to photograph the interior of your home. In Florida current statutes prohibit the use of photography by either rentor or owner are present. Fact: It is illegal.
- They even lie to banks, this happened as recently as March 7, 2014. I have them recorded as to when the first person I spoke to said they received payment yet they tell the bank it was late in order to accrue late fees.
- Two years running they have plastered eviction notices and found out it was thier error. Equity First Realty does not know the words I am sorry.
- Equity First Realty enters into agreement with Housing Urban Development which for those reading is a federal US Government program and they even lie to them.
- They use words like this is a circus dealing with you, you are not speaking the truth. ect. ect.
- Believe me when as I write this it takes a great deal of intimidation to push to this level, they have done a great deal.
- Lastly I close in saying this. You have been warned steer clear. Duplicate report filed with the Orlando BBB of Orlando, FL
