Ewing & Associates – Sotheby’s International Realty

Extremely unprofessional on a multitude of levels. Specifically with Mahnaz Yahvari and Irma Haldane. We were not represented physically or in a fiduciary manner.
We had chosen Mahnaz and Sotheby’s because Mahnaz agreed to be present for each and every showing and represent our house, open the door to the potential buyer, show the attributes of our house and SELL the house. Mahnaz was not present for almost every showing.
Mahnaz did not return our phone calls and was unreachable for hours with a final best offer deadline looming. This caused us to delay the deadlines given by the buyers by a few hours in two of our counter offers. How ridiculous and unprofessional — this could have caused us to lose the sale!
On one counter offer, Mahnaz worded the offer so that the contingencies would be removed within 9 days even though the buyer had previously agreed to have contingencies removed within 7 days.
When it came to negotiating any «deals», it was clear that Mahnaz was fighting for the buyer instead of us.
We were even asked by Mahnaz to allow a buyer to assume our existing home loan only to find out that if we had allowed that to happen it would hurt our credit and our ability to close on a future home loan.
Mahnaz and Irma were not even present at the time that papers needed to be explained and signed.
Stay away from the inexperience of Mahnaz Yahvari and the lack of professionalism and rudeness from Irma Haldane.
When we brought all of these issues to the attention of the owner of this branch of Sotheby’s (Roger Ewing), he was completely unwilling to hear what we had to say and was completely unsympathetic for all the mistakes made by his employees throughout this transaction.
If I could give them Zero Stars, I would.
My advice is to not gamble losing the sale of your home with this branch of Sotheby’s.
