Summit Realty Group John F Manno, Tim Manno, Travis Breton John Manno forces agents to use his own escrow division or keeps 100% of the agents commission. He is being sued now in Orange County Superior Court by my lawyer To get my $40,000 lost commission. Do not place your license under Newport Beach California
My clients checked the Escrow Division owned and operated by John Manno the broker for Summit Realty Group and told me they have no confidence in putting their money in this escrow company TO PURCHASE a house. I wrote to John Manno and asked him if its ok that my client go to their own escrow. John Manno replied " Cancel the deal, put it in Active status" . I replied to him by saying you can not force the principle of a real estate transaction to put their money in your escrow company. John Manno replied " You are in trouble , and not following the corporate policy" . I proceeded with my client desire and opened their transaction in another escrow company. John Manno continued harrassing me , defaming me by sending nasty and deragatory comments about me to my clients calling me names and dishonest. I hired three attorny to collect my commission $40,000 from John Manno and he would not pay my money and did not responded to any of the attorney.
I have hired the fourth attorny after spending $7500 legal fees to take this case and sue John Manno for all the damage he has done to me. A lawsuit is pending for hearing in the Orange County Supperior court now.
The Buearu of Real Estate has been notified as well as the Governor Brown Office, Attorney General of the State of California, Department of consumer affairs, National Association of Realtor, Orange County Association of Realtors. The Better Business Bureau.
John Manno is a very rude, unprofessional, arrogant, uncivilized subhuman who lies, cheats, steal your money and defames all agents.
There are a few agent who have filed the same with RESPA, BRE and other authority .
Do NOT PLACE YOUR LICENSE WITH SUMMIT REALTY GROUP. JOHN MANNO KEEPS 100% OF IT BY FINDING AN EXCUSE TO PISS YOU OFF.

I agree. I was also defrauded by John Manno. We need to gather names of every agent that has been a victim and report this behavior. This is malpractice and theft. He has stolen commissions and continues to do so. There are over 15 Agents so far who have been a victim of this. He threatened me and my family the last time I got into an argument with him. Does anyone have a physical address for John Manno besides the Riverside address in Newport Beach?

Stay away from Summit Realty Group! I left them a year after working for them a short period of time because I figured they were crooks after they kept a portion of my hard earned commission. I started looking more into these guys after reading all these posts and I was right! One of them is currently a CONVICTED FELON!!! My friend that works in law enforcement proved it to me as well. If you go to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website: http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.jsp and type in Timothy G Manno (full middle name is Garthwaite) you will see he recently was released.
I wonder if the department of real estate knows this guy practices real estate, performs open houses, handles trust funds, and now calls him self a recruiter of agents all without having a real estate license! I wonder what reasons he is giving to agents why he is not licensed but practices real estate.
We should all get together and file a class action against John Manno and Tim Manno to get our commission back!!
