Great! Really enjoyed working with Dana Meeks. She was very professional and real estate savvy. Thought of all the little things we didn’t even think about in thebuying and selling process. Extremely competent would definitely recommend and use Dana again.

If you?re a buyer and you have selected RJ Salerno (Rhett Salerno Sr.) as your realtor, then maybe this review isn?t for you. I met RJ Salerno as he represented a buyer of my previous home, while I was the seller. To make a long story short, RJ Salerno and his buyer accepted my asking price 8 hours upon me listing on MLS. We signed contracts, agreed to a deal, and I accepted earnest money in case the buyer withdrew. After 17 days, the buyer decided to renege on his offer, and pulled out. Obviously, this caused great strain on me and my family as we?d have to start from zero back on the market again?but at least we had the earnest money, right? Despite signing a contract, despite honoring his word, RJ Salerno told my realtor and me through a series of emails (which can be provided upon request), that if we did not release the $1,000 earnest money to him and his buyer, that he would blackmail us by dragging his feet and keeping my title clouded. Anyone who buys and sells homes knows that a clear title is the way to go, and a clouded title adds a whole new dimension and set of rules, as well as prolongs the time for me to sell my house. I owned one house and bought a one new house, and tried to sell the old one. I cannot sustain two mortgages. I signed a normal contract that included earnest money to supplement myself for an extra month of bills, mortgage, and costs, should the buyer pull out (which they did). I don?t have the funds or time to take this through the courts?I just have to have my house sold. I had no choice but to release the earnest money to get my house back on MLS. This disgusts me to no end, as any tax-paying, rule-follower knows that earnest money is placed at the title company as a type of promise. RJ Salerno helped to bilk me out of this insurance and leave me and my house hanging. So if you are looking to BUY a house and want a realtor who is slimy and dishonest, and will have a commission at the top of his mind, I STRONGLY recommend RJ Salerno. If you are a realtor or a seller and have RJ Salerno involved in any capacity, I?d think twice. I?m happy to let you see my contract, email chain, and complaints filed with the TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission) if you?d like. Just send me an email or give me a call.

Agent RJ Salerno worked with us off and on for 6 months. During that time he failed to gain an understanding of our preferences and needs. He lacked patience explaining to us as novices what was going on and failed to provide personalized service and listings. The vast majority of houses viewed we brought to him by us. Then when we found a house without his help and bought it without his knowledge he called us and berated us.
