Business ProfileforTransworld Business Advisors of Long Island

Dear ***/madam, I need help with getting my money refunded by this business, Transworld Business Advisors in ********, **. The broker, *************, was representing the seller of a local pizzeria, and I was interested in purchasing it. The first discussion occurred in June 2023, with the check of $20,000 being given to him in July. We were supposed to close immediately, and did our due diligence, but the owner was not cooperative in providing the necessary resources for the closing to take place. The broker, while initially met us a couple of times, stopped helping with the closing of this sale except for the occasional call to see whats going on. While myself and my partner did all the work, when we got to the part of the contract being given to our lawyer, the seller has already informed his layer the broker was not representing him anymore because of the brokers lack of taking this to a closing, among other interpersonal issues they had. Even at that point, the broker did not inform us hes not representing the seller anymore and made no attempt in refunding the check, about September/October. After a couple of months of extra effort to close this on our own - without brokers help - we decided to stop attempting as the seller did not provide the documents necessary for the closing in November 2023. At this point in time, I have personally tried to reach out to them numerous time - via emails, phone calls and messages - in an attempt to have my money refunded but neither the broker, his supervisor or his local office returned my calls or my money. I have also attempted multiple times to contact their main office in *******, no luck whatsoever. Please intervene in straightening this out, and having this corrupted and crooked business sanctioned accordingly. Thank you in advance, *****************.
