AVERBUCH REALTY

My wife and I purchased our first home with a VA loan through this Realtor Business and deeply regret using their service. They consistently took the side of the seller and consistently tried to convince us not to request many things of the sellers. We had more help from our lender than our realtor throughout the entire process. The biggest demand we had, that was make or break for us, was to have the "Mold cleaned out, treated, and completely removed". Prior to closing we had an inspector make a second pass at the home and relook at all of our demands to ensure they had been met. He stated that all demands had been met, so we closed. After closing our pest control tech came out to spray for bugs and found 8+ spots of active and untreated mold. This was far from meeting the demands of our contract, so we reached back out to our Realtor and the Broker himself, Scott Averbuch, both of which came across dismissive towards helping us get this resolved. Now it looks like we will either need to pay upwards of $5k to get the treatment necessary to protect our two children, or go to court spending even more money. It would seem that they could care less about us now that they got paid. I regret not seeing the red flags sooner. My recommendation is to STAY AWAY from this business! The next step for us, unless this gets resolved free of charge, is to file complaints with the Huntsville Area Association of Realtors (HAAR) and/or the Alabama Association of Realtors.

She was excellent to work with. I live in North Carolina and Averbuch Realty is in Huntsville , Ala so we have been working together, by phone and email. Lisa kept me in touch with all showings and any issues and she made it very easy to sell a home in one state while living in another state. I highly recommend Lisa

Jim Parker is one of the few trustworthy and honest realtors out there. We initially used a different realtor who got one showing over a six month period. After moving to Jim, we had at least one showing a week and and two offers within two months. Jim knows the market and can explain why the price point he suggests is appropriate for the situation. After accepting an offer, Jim went above and beyond what is expected in order to make sure we closed on time. He represented us and our interests very well in all dealings with the other party. I highly recommend Jim Parker.
