The buyers agent for our home was Nathan Linnell (Ft. Union branch). After over a month of negotiations my sell fell through due to your agent going to the city and placing a lein on my home. The inspector told me that the best thing to have done was not to even say anything. I remodeled my attic with a professional remodeler and the only thing I was missing was a little insulation in my attic. I decided to have the 1st and 2nd floor appraised and not the attic, giving up that space for free for the buyer. I was willing to let the house go for 187,000 (appraised value) instead of dropping the buyers instead of the agreed upon 210,000 dollars. I was giving up 23,000 dollars plus I was paying all the closing costs just so I could get into another house that I loved. I was losing over 40,000 of materials and time just to get into another house. Now I and the buyers are out of a house. This Nathan Linell guy needs to learn to communicate better and he would be a litter richer, I would be in the house I wanted and the buyers would have a completely remodeled house for much much cheaper than the original contract. Basically I was giving up the attic space for free. Now I have a lien on my house and I have to tear it all out and for what - to hear an inspector tell me that no one should have said anything. Nice, thanks Keller Williams and thanks to your well trained staff. I will never sell to another buyer that is represented by your company.

#2 General Comment

The attic is "free?"

AUTHOR: pfrey71 - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, October 07, 2009

Just a comment from an outsider here, but I happen to be a Realtor as well.  When you buy a house the attic automatically "comes with".  You can't reduce the price and then say you're not charging for the attic.  A more accurate way to state it would be "I'm reducing the price to offset the costs you, the buyer, will have to incur to bring the attic up the code." 


And I advise all my buyers to check that prior work was done with the proper permits.  If you don't check it before the house belongs to you, you'll be stuck with the issues when you try to sell down the road and your buyer questions YOU. 


If the seller spent significant money doing work on their home and didn't pull permits where required that falls under the category of "too bad."

This failed transaction is the sellers fault, not us or our buyer

AUTHOR: Bradley L - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 30, 2009

As usual, on the internet, anyone can say anything they like. Let's not let the facts get in the way of a good complaint?

Here are the facts;

1) Seller was trying to sell a home that included a finished attic. The seller never obtained permits to do that work. When that was found out , our buyer simply decided to back out as was their right by the Real Estate Purchase Contract.
2) Keller Williams Westfield has not placed a lien on this home. That would be UNLAWFUL. Nathan Linnell has not placed a lien. What happened was we went to the city to verify that the work had been completed with appropriate inspections/permits. When they told us it had not, THEY began their own investigation and have placed a lien or something like it to alert other potential buyers.
3) Tough to not sell to anyone represented by Keller Williams since we represent a significant portion of buyers and sellers in Utah.
4) We do not wish any ill will. Our buyers were in love with this home, and very dissapointed that they could not buy it.
