Realtors! Be sure to watch the news story that Channel 5 did on Chris Hanson!!! Of course Chris Hanson is claiming that everything is fine at High Profile Realty and he will pay you directly from escrow when you sell a home however, that is a LIE!!!  He will tell you that there is paperwork missing from your file or that he forgot to sign the Commission Disbursement form required by the Title Company to cut your check directly from title!!! Chris Hanson is a LIAR and a THEIF!!!! Dont fall for it!! Even without the hassle of not being paid Chris Hanson is so behind on the times of this current Real Estate Market in Phoenix it is sad!!  He does not have the knowledge or experience that it takes to advise his Agents - just ask him when was the last time he negotiated a short sale - or worked with the Bank on an REO transaction???  NEVER!!!  He is too busy stealing from his Agents to actually work for himself!!! Selling Real Estate in todays market takes serious work and Chris Hanson is LAZY!!! Realtors!!! Wake up!!! This guy is a THEIF!!!  You will work harder that you ever have to get your Real Estate Transactions to close and when you do you will NOT BE PAID!!!!! Chris Hanson is BANKRUPT!!!! yet he made more than $200,000 by stealing from his Agents last year!!! I cant wait for the IRS to catch up with him!!  ATTENTION AGENTS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN PAID - MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE IRS THAT YOU DID NOT RECEIVE THE PAYCHECK AND CHRIS HANSON KEPT IT - I AM WILLING TO BET HE IS NOT CLAIMING THE INCOME TO THE IRS!!!!

2009 facebook del.icio.us buzz digg reddit Email Print PHOENIX -- Former

employees of a Valley real-estate business claim the company's

Lamborghini-driving owner owes them thousands of dollars in commission .High

Profile Realty owner Chris Hanson drives a Hummer and a Lamborghini,

and in his flashy recruiting commercials, he claims his agents make

between $60,000 and $100,000 in their first year.Nevertheless, former employee Jeff Lundberg said Hanson owes him more than $9,000.Jitka Benoit and Jeff Oswiany said Hanson owes them about $5,000 each for homes they sold."This is how we feed our families," Lundberg said. "This is how we pay our mortgage."What's worse, they said, is that nobody seems to be able to help them -- not even the state's Real Estate Commission."As a former broker ,

(hearing about this) makes me very sad," said Real Estate Commissioner

Judith Lowe. "As the real estate commissioner, it makes me even more

sad."Lowe said state law prohibits her from investigating such issues."As far as the department is concerned, we're here to protect the public," she said.Basically, the commission will follow up on consumer complaints, but not complaints from agents about their paychecks.Lowe said she disagrees with the law, saying it "gives a broker a license to steal."When 5 Investigates

reporter Morgan Loew confronted Hanson about his unpaid agents, the

real estate broker admitted the company owes "a number of agents their

commission checks."Hanson insisted he took out loans to pay for his expensive cars."I've got a loan on (them), just like anybody else does," he said. "I owe money, too."He said he is trying to work out payment agreements with his former agents.Despite filing for bankruptcy protection, High Profile Realty still appears to be recruiting new agents.Hanson's attorney told 5 Investigates

that Hanson's boat and Lamborghini are now gone, and they are looking

at ways to come up with the money he owes his creditors, including the

former real estate agents. Copyright 2009 by KPHO.com .
