Complaint Review: Deborah Christie The Christies Real Estate Team - Coquitlam British Columbia

We are done with this serial complainer and liar. If you want to know more about Ms Pittel, go on the previously mentioned Rip Off Reports to get the gist of who she is. We have been exonerated and have proven ourselves correct in this matter. We will not go on this site again as we don't need to hear anymore of Ms Pittels victimhood! 

 Actually Deborah Christie is the one slandering me. If she'd taken the time to dig a little deeper she would have discovered that I have also posted several reports on the Internet about excellent people and places whose services I've used which I have put a great deal of time & effort into writing. My motto is actually praise where praise is due and I always reward by writing good things if I feel that this is due. As a journalist I also feel that I have a moral duty to warn other consumers too though and ripoff report is perfect for this and it is exactly what it's for and the message reaches such a wide audience, so yes I have posted other reports on ripoff but I have also posted other very complimentary reports on web sites such as facebook, google and others where appropriate.

With regard to the Holiday Inn and the care agency I used when I was in Vancouver, I paid both a great deal of money which they both took from the credit card information I provided them with. The hotel took payment in full before I left Vancouver and the care agency also took payment on a regular basis and certainly didn't have to wait a year for payment. The fact that I might have had cause to question some of the charges - NOT as Deborah states ask fôr a full reversal - is my right as a consumer and totally irrelevant to this report. When I talked to Deborah Christie from England before I went to Canada I thought she sounded nice but unfortunately she was very different in person. Like I said she was rude, snappy, hysterical and screamed at me on several occasions. My care agency didn't like her at all and chose to be physically present more than once to protect me from her vicious tongue and violent temper which included throwing her keys at me. They strongly encouraged me to find another realtor and even put me in touch with someone they knew. I have used other realtors in the past and have never had cause to put a complaint about them on ripoff. There are lots of realtors out there and my advice is if you have a choice to use someone else.

In Debbie Pittel's  recent post she states that I was exonerated by The Real Estate Council of British Columbia because her complaint did not fall within the boundaries of the investigating agency. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Real Estate Council Of British Columbia is the body to whom all realtors answer to with regard to licensing, complaints, and sanctions for actions and behaviour. If it is not within the Council's boundaries, then whose is it?

I was required to send a report to the Council with regard to this complaint. In it I sent times, dates, and documentation including all correspondance, e-mails, telephone calls, and notes af discussions with Ms Pittel. The Council found no merit to her complaint nor any misrepresentation on my part. Unsatisfied with this, Ms Pittel has resorted to name calling and vicious insults which are hysterical in themselves. Not only did she set out to slander me, but I have heard from other people that have dealt with her, that she tried to have all charges at the Holiday Inn where she stayed reversed. Also care givers whose services she used for 3 months, had to fight for over a year to be paid.

With regard to the real estate transaction that she entered into with me as her agent, she surrepticiously decided not to complete at the last minute. Ms Pittel left the seller without a sale, the lawyer that had represented her with no payment,  and my services and out of pocket expenses also went unpaid. (these expenses included rental of a Specialty Van to transport her and her wheelchair.) In the end the seller agreed to give her back half of her deposit that had been held on her behalf for the firm offer that she signed.

She conveniently failed to mention this in her complaint.  She also chose to bad mouth the listing agent to this transaction who had done nothing wrong. Now I understand that Ms Pittel is disabled, but she seems to think this gives her the right to make a trail of complaints and nasty reports about people that either try to help her or those she employs to help. I have been selling Real Estate for over 28 years, and helped hundreds and hundreds of clients and their families to buy and sell their homes without complaint,... until I tried to help this woman.

With a little investigating on our own we have found other unsubstantiated complaints against other companies who have crossed paths with Ms Pittel. In fact she seems to have a hobby of making complaints against any manner of services.

You can see for yourself at Rip Off Reports #'s 202061, 690787,687830, 1316461, 1315724....

Sincerely

Deborah Christie - Realtor

The only reason Deborah Christie was "exonerated" as she puts it is because the complaint I made about her doesn't fall within the boundaries of the investigating agency. Even without this she is rude, snappy, unprofessional and throws hysterical tantrums. I advise consumers to stay well away friom her and to use a different realtor

This complaint has been thoroughly investigated by the Real Estate Cuncil Of British Columbia. Deborah Christie and the Christies Real Estate Team have been completely exonerated as per the letter from The Council dated March 13, 2017, by Ryan DeLuca - Compliance Officer .  (letter available upon requeest)
