Jordan Taffet Unreliable, Non-responsive and unprofessional Ocean Beach New York
In February my sister signed a contract agreement for one of Jordan’s properties on Fire Island. We planned on having my bachelorette in June so we rented the house for a week, and my friends made travel arrangements accordingly. Sunday before we were scheduled to arrive, Jordan called us and said there was a leak in the roof, and he wasn’t sure if it would be ready in time, but there was a chance everything would go as planned.
Friday he offered us a reimbursement or gave us the option of two other properties on the island. Neither of these options were acceptable as he was not willing to wire us the money, and the two other properties in no way shape or form compared to the original house we rented. On Friday around noon I informed him that neither of these properties were appropriate and told him he needed to find us something better immediately. Rather than work with us he stopped answering our phone calls. For two days we tried to reach him from different numbers and he did not respond. Finally we had the good fortune of speaking to another realtor who happened to know him, and she was able to call him and get our money from him two days before we were scheduled to arrive.
Jordan Taffett’s lack of professionalism was unacceptable. I would highly recommend against using him as a realtor. He proved unreliable and untrustworthy. Call someone else if you are looking for a house to rent on Fire Island.

A storm caused a tree limb to fall and damage the roof, so the tenants scheduled a week away were immediately called. There were offered 1) a full refund; 2) choice of several same size houses that I found for them via local real estate brokers; or 3) option to see if the contractor could repair the roof before Friday. The group organizer was VERY appreciative of my transparency and efforts to offer other housing, as well as very understanding a tree falling was not in my control. Repairs could not be made in time and the group organizer picked one of the other houses I had found, and asked me to pay the real estate broker directly since I was on Fire Island and she had already paid me. The “Molly” person who filed this online complaint, if she even exists, was clearly not involved in the rental process and clueless about what actually occurred.
Second, ripoffreport.com is essentially a scam to extort money from people to be removed ($2,000 for “arbitration” to have
this complaint removed).

EDITOR’S NOTE: Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, even when it is about us. We understand that people who have complaints written about them are upset and want to place blame somewhere, especially if they feel the content of the Reports are false. We also understand that individuals want to blame our website rather than where it belongs – on the person who wrote the Reports in the first place. Using the same method that we provide FREE OF CHARGE to all of our users, we would like to “set the record straight” as to the comments posted about our website through this Rebuttal. Every user of our website has the opportunity to tell their side of the story, for free, just as we will do here. We certainly encourage users to “set the record straight” and tell their side of the story by using the free methods available to them before they consider other Ripoff Report programs (such as our VIP Arbitration Program or the Corporate Advocacy Program) or alterative avenues (such as filing a lawsuit against the Author of the report) that cost money. After all, we have no way of knowing if the Report author is telling the truth or perhaps the person/company who writes the Rebuttals to the Report is telling the truth - - or maybe the truth lies somewhere in between the two stories. This is precisely why we allow Reports, Comments, Rebuttals and Updates, for free, by anyone (including the person/company posted about) who has information to share about the situation. By doing so, all sides of the story are able to be heard so other users of the site can make an educated decision about the situation for themselves.
The Author of this report is incorrect in suggesting that Ripoff Report will remove a Report for $2,000, or for any amount of money for that matter. Ripoff Report has a general policy of NOT REMOVING Reports. Our policy can be viewed on our website by clicking HERE. $2,000 is the cost of Ripoff Report's VIP Arbitration Program - a program that removes only challenged statements of facts in a Report that are found to be to be false after presentation of evidence to an independent arbitrator. Even in that instance, the Report is not removed. Only challenged statements of fact that are found to be false by the arbitrator will be (((REDACTED))). Again, to be clear, Ripoff Report will not remove Reports for money and any information to the contrary is simply not accurate. To understand the full context of our Arbitration Program, we invite you to review all of the applicable information, including the Program Rules, by visiting our arbitration webpage at http://www.ripoffreport.com/Arbitration.aspx.
We thank you for taking the time to read this Rebuttal and allowing us to “set the record straight.”
