Poly Properties LLC Harold Johnson Broker

Description of Work: In April of 2010 we went under contract to buy a home in San Antonio, Texas from Broker Harold M. Johnson (Poly Properties LLC) and wife Beth Johnson. Harold M. Johnson of Poly Properties was the broker of this property. The property was under a company Harold M. and Beth Johnson owned called Texas Holdings Inc. These two people along with the "contractor" (if could be called a contractor) completed repairs on a home we were interested in buying. Initially, the home we could tell had been "updated". A bathroom had been added. An extra room had been built and added as a laundry /storage room. New sheet rock had been put up (This should have been a warning to us)Mr. Johnson assured us and our agent that new plumbing had been installed, new fixtures, ceiling fans, new paint, new walls just to spruce up the house. We asked if permits had been pulled for the electrical and plumbing work done on this house. He assured us they had. We asked for copies, he agreed to supply them to us.House looked good initially. We are first time home buyers. Put an offer on the house and asked after an inspection that revealed several things that were issues to have these things repaired as a condition of the sale.At first Mr. Johnson agreed, no problem. Weeks passed nothing was done. Our agent called Mr. Johnson again, asked when he would be making repairs . No duct work in the attic at all. Duct work needed to be replaced. Electrical issues, box and panel had breakers that were illegal and dangerously over loaded or doubled up on. Panel needed to be replaced. No GFI in the kitchen. Mr. Johnson screamed and hung up on our agent, then called her back to apologize and said of course he would take care of those issues before closing. We had asked Mr. Johnson to turn on the water for the inspection. A normal request. He refused, twice. We couldn't understand what his issue with turning on the water for our inspection could be. He finally agreed to do so. We now understand why he refused.Day before closing none of the issues were taken care of. We decided to have our agent propose a reduction in price to cover the repairs noted at the inspection. We had already given notice to our landlord, were packed and ready to move. We asked the Title company and a lawyer from Trec if we should back out or could we note in the closing documents that Mr. Johnson had not fulfilled the addendum to our sales contract stating he and Poly properties/ Texas Holdings Inc and Beth Johnson would repair or replace all the issues listed. Would present copies of permits pulled for all the work requiring permits, plumbing, electrical etc.We signed our closing documents. Mr. Johnson asked the Title company to stop our funding and refused to go on with our sale.He refused a reduction in price. We threatened to sue the Title company if they with held our funding that our mortgage broker and company were waiting on and they finally agreed to release our funding. We owned the house and Mr. Harold M. Johnson of Poly Properties and Wife Beth Johnson of Texas Holdings Inc were now libel for breech of contract and the repairs on the home we purchased they agreed to repair or replace.
