We just finished selling our house in Bedford Texas. Initially we did our research and chose “The Wall Team” to list our home with. By all accounts they seemed like a good fit for the Mid-Cities area. In the beginning things seemed normal to good. As it happened “The Wall Team” brought the buyers to the transaction. Therefore, they brokered for both parties with separate agents. The Wall Team hold themselves out to be a Christian Business, but they did some very Un-Godly things to us as the “Sellers”. Once offers started coming in and when we were under contract, things went downhill very fast. For the initial offer as the seller, we gave in to paying for Title insurance and a home warranty. There is zero benefit to the seller from it. When I asked “The Wall Team” why the seller should pay for title insurance this went as an unanswered question. Once the inspection period began The Wall Team’s hand selected vendors for the buyers went thru our home and prepared a report for the buyers that made us look like derelict homeowners. The report made my wife cry and for that The Wall Team is “Unforgiven”. We have in fact made many quality upgrades to the property. Their roof specialist inspected our roof and condemned our roof, suggesting we make a claim with our insurance company to get it replaced. What message is this sending to the buyers? What gives them the right to play Russian Roulette with our insurance company? We ended up eating the cost of a roof replacement to close the deal. Real Estate transactions are not very favorable for the seller. We got painted into corners because of how The Wall Team represented the buyer. I feel they failed us as the “Sellers” grossly. Our interests were not very well represented especially since we are the party that generated the commission. The Wall Team did not earn their commission on this transaction, they stole it from us. My advice as a seller is get a lawyer and DO NOT list with The Wall Team. Call Mark Spain!
