Century 21 Hilltop Sam Rafi, Jose Olivares FRAUD, Misrepresentation, Failure to Fully Disclose Known Problems. Simi Valley, , California
Jose Olivares of Century 21 Hilltop failed to fully disclose the extent and severity of problems surrounding a property he was representing. He also failed to forward CRITICAL information provided to him by neighbors of the subject property who saw him with a prospective buyer. Due to his fraud and misrepresentation, I spent over $4,000 on legal fees regarding the property that I never would have spent had Jose revealed everything he knew.
Several neighbors (and a former prospective buyer) signed statements to the fact that they had discussed the critical issues with Jose that were never revealed to us, and that Jose and the seller knew all about the problems surrounding the property.
In spite of overwhelming evidence in the form of those signed affadavits from , Jose and his broker Sam Rafi, both have refused to negotiate or discuss the matter.

After extensive talks with a lawyer Century 21 Hilltop had hired, it seemed like we were working towards a fair resolution. Sadly, that was NOT the case. Century 21 has flipped back to their old position that they did nothing wrong, and won't fix the situation. They just don't care, and have no interest in being fair or acknowledging what they did.
It seems from their actions that all Sam and Jose care about is removing the negative reviews they've gotten online, but they won't do anything to rectify the situation THEY created with their dishonest practices.
This attitude is exactly why this office was sued for fraud just a few years ago.

Now they threatened to sue ME for giving negative reviews!

Last week it seemed like we were going to make some progress on this matter. Sadly, it was a waste of time. Sam Rafeh refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing of his agent in spite of the evidence to the contrary.
I tried to engage Sam in a discussion about the signed affadavits from multiple witnesses testifying that Jose, his agent, knew all about the problems he failed to disclose and that he claims he didn't know about, but Sam refused to discuss the issue.
It would seem he'd rather pretend that it never happened.
Instead, Sam has threatened to sue me for exercising my first amendment rights by posting negative reviews like this one!
This isnt the first time Century 21 Hilltop of Simi Valley has been in trouble either. Here are a few links about how this same office was sued just a few years ago regarding an alleged fraud issues:

I would NEVER use Century 21 Hilltop, or Century 21 EVER again.
