Santos Lozoya – CENTURY 21 Community

Short sale scam artist. Didn’t pick up any of my calls regarding his listing on 1753 Viewmont Dr, Los Angeles CA. I know real estate well wnough to know that you’re going to have to have the listing agent or office represent you on the short sale offer if you want to have any chance at getting the property. Well, I called Santos Lozoya 25 times from different numbers to both his cell and office 1 hour after the short sale listing was posted up until today and got ZERO responses. Kept being told he was with a client, then 2 mins later my wife would call and they’d say he’s not in the office today, then 5 mins later they’d say he’s on an important phone call and to leave a message. Left a total of 9 messages through office and cell phone and 2 emails, no response. One time he accidentally picked up the cell phone and I heard him talking to someone in the backgroun and he hung up on me as soon as I said ‘hello’. Now about 72 hours later it’s ‘Sale Pending’ without giving anyone a chance to see it or talk to him about making an offer… if you needed representation forget about it b/​c you’d need to get a hold of him first. Needless to say if I see any more listings from Santos Lozoya, I’m not going to waste my time with this character… I’m sure this i only a glimpse of how he works, if you submit an offer through another agent I guarantee it’s going straight from the fax machine into the trash bin. Keep an eye on the listing, when it closes escrow I guarantee buyer was represented by him him, his assistant, or his office. MLS # Y1004934
UPDATE: He tried to sell it to his arranged buyer twice, once at 2.5 mill bank didn’t approve, then he raised it to 3.5 mill and went into sale pending the same time as update. And now it’s listed for 4.5 mill and still a short sale. WOW. Can you say «GAMES»?
