Complaint Review: Nate Ellis Keller Williams

Realtor, Nathan Ellis, of Keller Williams, license number 01842043, forged a signature in order to close and failed to inform all parties the transaction was closed.

Many offers were withheld by Keller Williams in at least two transactions, and I suspect I wasn't even allowed to view them all.  A voicemail from Nate indicated he had "a dozen" offers, but when I arrived to view them I was only shown 2, until I specifically asked to see them all, and 3 more were retrieved from their back office, but I was strongly urged and steered into the first one presented.  Claims to have a dozen offers, then only produced 1 clearly steering and forcing the seller to take only the one offer.

Keller Williams, also withheld accepted offers on multiple occassions from lenders waiting for short sale offers.  Nate's Facebook page brags about waiting "right at the wire" before submitting offers in short sale transactions. 

He suggested if we had a friend who could buy, he could sell the house twice and make a lot of money; that people "get away with it all the time" when we merely wanted to sell a home we couldn't afford and move on with our lives.
