Report Attachments
Mere days before closing on a real estate transaction, we had to seek legal advise after finding out that the Seller had already entered into a RE contract with Real Estate Agent Aaron Benson of Realty One Group in Scottsdale
During free consultation, Andrew Rahtz of Platt & Westby, P.C. determined that Aaron Benson of Realty One Group in Scottsdale had committed several violations of law and ethics. Andrew Rahtz of Platt & Westby, P.C. claimed that he will have the escrow with Aaron Benson of Realty One Group in Scottsdale cancelled, by writing a letter to Aaron Benson of Realty One Group in Scottsdale, if his retainer of $1,500 is paid.
The AVERAGE sales price of the property in question was at that time approximately $150K, which Aaron Benson of Realty One Group in Scottsdale now stood to score for some $50K. Unsurprisingly, Aaron Benson of Realty One Group in Scottsdale decided he is not walking away from 100K - 130K gain just because some Andrew Rahtz of Platt & Westby, P.C. sent him a "boooooooh" letter.
Finally, Andrew Rahtz of Platt & Westby, P.C. resolved it was time to "start filling in the blanks". Of course Andrew Rahtz could take the matter to the court, but it may take months to claim the property back and could cost about $60K.
Long story short - as if it hadn't turned out bad enough for the Seller, who, after deduction of all liabilities from the sale proceeds was left with some $25K for her nearly 200K condo, Andrew Rahtz of Platt & Westby, P.C. , without scruple, took another couple hundreds from the Seller for writing a useless letter, instead of telling her the entire truth upfront, knowing that she can't afford 60K for his services.
Since, Andrew Rahtz of Platt & Westby, P.C. is an attorney, I'm adding a small disclaimer solely for the purpose of protecting myself.

The author of this review has never been a client of our firm. The case described in this review was resolved successfully and the real client remains happy with the results we were able to achieve. The author of this review referred the real client to us and they had hoped to pursue a deal with our client that would have been in the author’s interest.
Through the resolution of the case, this deal the author had hoped for fell through. The legal services provided by Platt & Westby, P.C. are always tailored to achieve the best possible result for the client, not 3rd parties, even when a 3rd party is the referral source.
