Wil Wilson Pollock

Description of Work: This real estate agent did not provide much in the way of service. He is a friend of the family, and that is why his 'help' was enlisted. He got a One Year Contract to sell this 3 bedroom, 2 bath house - (technically for my mom, but I was involved). 'Wil' P****** showed the house when clean up had just started. [ We are talking pathways to walk because of hoarding yarn and crafts - plus 'not very clean' because little old lady had trouble bending over to pick things up. ] This is not a very good time to show a house for sale - as it looks at it's worst, and your sale price might suffer because of the messy state of things. 'Wil' had a list of improvements: replace tile in kitchen and bath, paint entire interior, build addition to existing wooden patio cover (and paint it), re-landscape the back yard - including a new sprinkler system + clean up front yard, work on kitchen cabinets, etc.. The house was sold WHILE IT WAS BEING SPRUCED UP AND REPAIRED. My mother is retired, has lung disease and needs to be home much of the time to take care of dad. Absolutely No Way could she do all of this work on her own. She was calling her friends and their grand-kids to help clear out the clutter (the garage was full too). Because the house sold So Quickly we had only 30 days till close of escrow. The buyers made their own demands/requests - and the house had termites, needed to be tented. The painters were not very professional (poor quality). Wil arrived one day and admonished them - enough so that one of the painters became angry and left! (great, one less worker) It is true, the painters were careless in placing their tarps, and there were many small 'specks' of paint on the wooden floor and along the baseboards (carpet had been removed). I happened by on the day that my mother and her friend ( both in their mid 70's) were on the floor scraping and removing the tiny paint spills. About that time, Wil showed up (or maybe he was already there? not sure). As he was leaving I said to him 'You should be ashamed of yourself, you have these 70 year old ladies down on their knees, scraping the floor.' His response was: 'Leave me alone.' ON THE 'UP' SIDE: Wil did do some work: He installed two springs on the garage door, which were missing. One day (that I know of) he bought a couple of large Pizzas for the people working to fix up the house.
