HAMMOND RESIDENTIAL REAL EST

KATHY HALLEY, a real estate agent of Hammond Residential Real Estate, represented the buyers of our condo. We had many offers, but the top offers were offering the same price. Ultimately, we agreed on an offer made by a couple who wrote a heartfelt letter about how they were high school sweethearts who had been doing long distance and were getting married. Their offer was not the most attractive, but we wanted to leave our home in goods hands and preferred to sell to a family who would live there and not investors. They said they wanted to make this place their first home and looked forward to sharing many happy memories in this home like we had. All lies.
We certainly would have considered their offer seriously even if they had been upfront about their intentions. But the lengths they went to deceive us and manipulate us is VERY disturbing and downright wrong. They researched us well and created a fake story so that we would be emotionally drawn to them. KATHY HALLEY and her clients carried out the charade until closing date. Scum attracts scum.
We had a wonderful, honest real estate agent from William Raveis. She was also shocked and disappointed to find out on closing day when neither the buyers nor KATHY HALLEY showed up for closing (she sent a sub-in real estate agent) that they had lied to us. I would strongly recommend using an agent from William Raveis instead of Hammond Real Estate as this agency seems to condone manipulation and lying. Buyers and real estate agents - discard letters submitted by KATHY HALLEY.
