Complaint Review: Home America Property Management - Mark Bosworth Companies - GoRenter.com - Peoria Arizona

State law does not require owner to do anything for you. We were able to get this owner to not only pay you back, but also to move you. If i remember correctly( and maybe i dont), you hade been evicted from your last residence, and had been in this home a total of 3 days when we advised you of the situation...because you wanted to try and sue us,you delayed the process of your refund (which again, the owner was not legally obligated to provide). No else would rent to you, we bailed you out, the owner unfortuanatly foreclosed, we bailed you out again..and yet you are still whining. Unbelievable! I truly hope that you have found a safe and comfortable home for your family, however, i fear for your new landlord, as you are obviously sue-happy, and trying to get something for nothing. Hopefully you are not teaching this kind of behavior to your children, however, i fear for their future. It is people like you that are destroying America.

I am "Cynical Shopper" and I'd like to confirm that yes I did get my refund; however it took the threat of legal action and consumer advocacy programs to get that action. I feel it's important to make consumers alert of the growing number of concerns with agencies such as this. The gentleman at the firm who finally assisted me with my refund was very helpful, unlike everyone else whom I had spoken to about the refund. It shouldn't come down to the last days of a person having a home to finally get the money they deserve. I was also writing on behalf of someone else who experienced the same difficulty and never did get a refund nor even the courtesy of returned phone calls.

Gorenter.com cannot stop, or even stem, the tide of foreclosures in this country. Even though "Cynical Shopper" refused to print her name, I recognize her from the few facts she did reveal. First, we are just a property management company. We do not make the underlying mortgage payments for the home-owners. Second, as licensed agent for the owner, we do receive the rents and deposit them in our trust account, for the benefit of the owner. That is the way every property management firm in the state is required to do business. We usually find out about a foreclosure situation from the tenants who receive notices at their doors or mail on the subject. In this situation, this owner had 11 properties and so the tenants all began to contact us about the same time. The owner was in Asia for an extended period, so we were left without answers until he returned. When he did return, we procured his writtten permission to hold the rent payments in our trust account for the benefit of the tenants who would be forced to move, due to his foreclosures. As a property management firm, we have met with the Arizona Department of Real Estate about this foreclosure problem and given them our proposed solution to protect the tenants. We have even proposed they use their lobbying efforts to enact Arizona law to codify our process. We are hopeful the Arizona Legislature and Governor will agree with us on this solution. "Cynical Shopper" did receive 100% of her money back, plus moving expenses. Had we not stepped in and pro-actively negotiated this solution, she would have been left with having to chase the owner in court to get her money. She doesn't realize it, but we are the ones who brokered this positive result for her. Yes, this owner did lose 11 homes to foreclosure. No, he is not some rich, land-baron. This current market and the declining value of his homes has devastated him. Nevertheless, he did the right thing by reimbursing his tenants all their down payment money and even paid for moving expenses. By the way, "Cynical Shopper" claims we don't maintain trust accounts. As required by Arizona law, we do maintain trust accounts. The money "Cynical Shopper" received was paid from our trust account. Ms. "Cynical Shopper" claims that it took her retaining an attorney to get her money back. Here is the inside scoop...all the other tenants of this owner got their money back weeks, if not months, before "Cynical Shopper" did. Why? Her attorney greatly delayed the process and certainly did not do her any favors. I personally informed her attorney that the money was sitting in our trust account to pay back her down payment. When he finished with his legal gyrations, the exact same amount was paid to her that I had earmarked for her to begin with.

ok, yesterday April 4, 2008 the ADRE issued a statement about Mr. Bosworth. Stating in short that he is no longer allowed to engage in realestate in any way, shape or form. including owning gorenter.com Which he is telling his current employees he no longer owns. HOWEVER, if you go onto the arizona corporation commission website you will clearly see he is still owner. Why is it that his currently LICENSED real estate agents that are employees continue to fall for his shenanigans? I've noticed that they have rebuttals stating please give us authorization to give your info out, hey, we dont need to give anything. The proof is all there on the internet, a five minute search will confirm what a slimy little weasel he is. My suggestion to ANYONE who has fallen victim to his numerous companies should contact the ADRE and get on the train because its stopping at all locations and accepting passengers for free!
