Customer ReviewsforShorewest Realtors, Inc.

01/31/24 Our accepted offer was prepared by ************************************** of Shorewest Realty of Northern Door County, not our own listing agent. An ad offered our property furnished; however as per the actual written contract, the buyers ONLY listed the appliances in the inclusion section, nothing else. NO communication within the six week period between acceptance and closing dates came from either the buyers or ***H expressing any interest in our furniture. As the closing date approached, we secured a truck and movers to remove all of our furnishings. Only ***H did a subsequent walkthrough and one day prior to closing, an email from ***H was forwarded to us with threats of litigation against us by the buyers should we decide not to remedy the "furniture situation" that the she herself created. Our options were either 1) to return all furniture or 2) reducing the already accepted purchase price by $20K. We were appalled by her heavy handed  tactics to bully us into thinking we were in the wrong! We chose to disregard these unrealistic options and also the indecision re: confirming the closing date. Ultimately, the sale went through; however, the undeserved, intimidating, and negative treatment we received by ***H, in an effort to succumb to her demands, was very stressful and we;re sure must have violated the realtor's code of ethics. It may be advised that ********************************* enroll in a refresher course on reading contracts and writing offers to avoid making rookie mistakes in the future!

While acting as POA for the sale of my mother's condo, we made the mistake of trusting an early no-contingency offer from a buyer client of Shorewest Realtor's ******************** Two rescheduled close dates later, we were finally told Shorewest's client couldn't close until she closed on the sale of her own home first. A web search of the buyer's name revealed Shorewest's agent, *******************************, was both the representing agent for the bogus no-contingency offer AND the agent for the sale of the home preventing our buyer from closing on time. Who knows how much money my mother lost out on because I trusted the competence and/or ethics of Shorewest Realtors? I'm not an expert and nobody is responding to me, but this does not pass the smell test, and we are considering a legal investigation, including Shorewest's relationship with the bank's loan officer that signed-off on the buyer's finances.

Shorewest is definitely playing games. To have individuals showing up for a house with an offer on it, in the hopes of getting an offer over the asking price is a waste of everyone’s time. Do not list a house for 200,000 get an offer for 200,000 or more continue to have open houses with the hopes of getting even more while luring individuals in who have no intentions of going over 200,000. It’s a waste of everyone’s time. My house is 600,000 I’m putting it on the market this year but I would not use Shorewest or any company that played such games! Sure I want the most for my house but not if it means being dishonest.
