GOLDEN OAK PROPERTIES

Description of Work: The mortgage lender will hold back on informing you of costly situations that could arise in the future. I was told it was so that we wouldn't be overwhelmed, but I prefer to have all the details upfront. Just a personal preference. I have found that I have been mislead on pricing in several aspects. The realtor, while open about communication and willing to spend the time with you, will talk out of both sides of her mouth. She will say one thing, and in the next sentence contradict herself about policy and procedure in buying a place. We were told information just a little bit at a time, which caused us to make decisions on places to make offers on that we otherwise would not have and which ended up wasting everyone's time and money. She also made a recommendation of a house inspector whom she "has worked with for years," who ended up have far too limited a scope of inspection which left us with little, if any, information we didn't already know about the house we are looking to buy. We basically wasted $500 on her recommendation and the housing inspector couldn't be bothered to get back to us on questions we had on the report until she contacted him herself. Finally, I was pitted against my partner after I gave her permission to be able to talk to him about pricing and procedure. I would make a decision, she would go to him about how I was being unreasonable and ask him to talk to me. Then, in front of me, she would tell him that he was badgering me about the issue to cover up her own involvement. I've never had so much strain put on my relationship than in the last 4 months I've worked with these people.
