Home Partners of America Home Partners kept a $4,000.00 fee for a home we did NOT move into due to my husband becoming ill. We asked them to transfer the funds to a one story property or issue a refund. They would not. Chicago Illinois

 We were in the end process of leading with option to buy from Home Partners of America when my husband became ill. I had sent Home Partners $3,800.00 and they refused to return the funds, or transfer to a one story house that would've been suitable. My husband had to retire early due to this illness and we are now out this money with no place to move. His illness prevents him from going back into his career as a Law Enforcement Officer. We don't have lots of money to lose this amount. We were told you either take this house or you are DONE with Home Partners. And we will keep your money. This is exactly what they've done to us. Do not use this company to buy your home and rent back to you. They catch people in very vulnerable circumstances and take advantage of you. There should be a program in place to approve people for mortgages if the income is there. It could be taken from your bank account monthly to insure payment, then these types of companies would be out of business.
