Remax/ Leslie Kanfer & Keith Fleischer Beware of their Dishonesty & Unethical Practices Fort Lauderdale Florida

Hi,

I actually have nothing to do with these two realtors- don't even know them.  However, I am a local Realtor and have been since 2003.  This "highest and best" is actually very common with foreclosure listings, and it does come from the lender.  They send out multiple disclosures and addenda with all of this info.

The multiple listings with different prices I find odd.

Hope this helps!

I'm sure your experience was frustrating but the facts that you present are typical of REO (foreclosure) work. I am one of the top agents with RE/MAX in the country and have been for many years. I am also a national speaker/educator with 2 of the finest and most credible organizations. I also specialize in REO/Foreclosure work.
I'd like to comment on your complaint issues:
1) It is not uncommon for a property to be listed on one site at one price and a different price on another. Many of these sites (including Realtor.com) download their data from other sites (like our MLS system). This download may happen only once a week, or sometimes less frequently.
2) With REO properties, it is very common to have multiple offers on a property. Today we had 4 on one condo (2 at full price), and 2 offers on another property. All of the banks I deal with require that I notify all prospective buyers with similar language that you state in your complaint. Furthermore, banks often price a property low to get it sold quickly. It is their intent to generate the most interest quickly. It is not uncommon for buyers to bid it up above asking price. Certainly you can't forget the real estate market from 2000 to 2006, where most agents wouldn't even entertain an offer unless it was at least full price!
3) Regarding your suggestion that the bank put it for auction, auctions appeal to the smallest audience, typically only investors. Listing the property with an agent generates far more exposure and often full price or higher offers. Keith's response to you was proper. I'm sure if you check the tax role, you'll find that the home you were interested in, did sell for more than your offer.
It is unfair for you to make libelous statements about Mr. Fleischer, or any Realtor based on similar facts. It is also potential grounds for litigation, and demonstrates an incredible amount of ignorance on your part. Posting defaming comments about someone based on "sour grapes" is inappropriate. I would recommend you research the REO field, specifically the transaction you are referencing and I'm sure you'll find that Mr. Fleischer did nothing wrong. I would then encourage you to remove your post. I also think it's cowardly not to put your name in your post. Regards, David Eiglarsh, Realtor
PS: Although not relevant, I know Mr. Fleischer through the real estate profession and know him to be an upstanding, hardworking professional.
