Complaint Review: Desert Realty - Las Vegas Nevada

Why don't you want to call the police and press charges? Sounds a little fishy to me.

There are always two sides! So, here's what really happened: I listed Ben Clift's condo on November 13, 2006. He instructed me to keep it off the MLS till January 1, 2007, The condo was on the market a long time without interest from any prospective buyers. I suggested since Ben relocated to Florida, that we empty it, do a deluxe clean and get the carpet shampooed, so maybe it would show better. Ben agreed. Let's refer, shall we, to your email dated November 20, 2006 at 2:15 pm: I visited Coleen's consignment on North Rainbow when Nancy was there. Coleen said they would come out and pick up things and put them on sale and take 50%. If it comes to that, do it - - - or donate it to charity - - - or, if you see anything you want, just take it with my compliments - - - and put the place up for sale. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I'm planning to ask my friends in Anthem to donate the car. I could only offer him $200 for the contents, as that was the value he accepted. Of course, this didn't include Ben's Oriental table, 4 chairs, folding screen, or garden seat. Ben said that he wanted to keep these items, either to give to a relative, sell otherwise, or keep for himself. So, I had my maintenance person clean out the unit. I used some of the items in a studio apt and donated the rest to charity as I didn't need a lot of it. The bedroom furniture was an old off-white inexpensive set from the 60s 70s with white formica tops and particle board cores. The mattress and box were also inexpensive, as were most of the other items including small appliances, bedding, etc. It's a given that older used furniture has very little value in Las Vegas due to the huge amount of it that's available. By the way, I paid to have your carpet cleaned as that was part of our agreement. About a month after we cleaned the condo, Ben called and requested we keep a few more items for him. A rug, a vase, a spread and a square picture of a bird, which was fabric over a light weight wood frame. He instructed us to remove the fabric from the frame, toss the frame, and save the fabric for him, which we complied. When the listing was about to expire, he called and instructed us to leave these items in the unit, which we did. And by the way, Ben, you failed to mention that you had an old car you were going to donate as you believed it had no value. Did you forget that we found a buyer for that car, and you got $895.00 for it? How soon we forget! And, while we're discussing money, let's review the condo do you remember how many times I suggested a price drop, as you were overpriced? And how many times you decided to hold on to the price as you were in no rush to sell? This is why you still own the condo. Lord knows it was continually advertised and shown! You still to this day have it overpriced It's listed at $165,000 and the identical unit has sold in the past few months at $106,000. They're presently in escrow from $109,900 to $124,900. And lets discuss the $200.00 check this we do apologize for I remember giving my bookkeeper a note to send you this check; I wasn't aware it didn't go out until you contacted us Then we sent it immediately. This was simply an oversight. The check was sent immediately upon your call! So in retrospect I believe everything you and I did with your condo and your stuff was totally agreed upon and done with your direction. I also believe that you have slandered my name and the name of the company I am with, Desert Realty. We will be discussing this situation with an attorney next week. We'll see just how to proceed at that time! Lots of luck Ben Clift.
