Haugen Properties

I used Haugen agent Dane Hawkins. He worked around my crazy schedule with a smile and made the whole process enjoyable. Will be recommending him to all my friends.

I am a Seller and Jason Haugen was an agent that represented a buyer that put an offer on my home. First of all he placed an offer telling us that he was from out of state so he placed it site unseen. We go to option period, we made requested repairs, buyer still had not seen the property. The appraisal was scheduled… we closed in two weeks (the buyer pushed for a quick close), option period ended. No one showed up to do the appraisal so our agent called and found out the buyer had cancelled the appraisal. They told us that the buyer was concerned because he found out that he would have to pay for an appraisal every time he wants one done. We than got a call from our agent saying the buyer wanted to back out of contract because of funding. WOW, that’s funny because we got a preapproval letter and our agent called his funding company to confirm his approval. We were told everything was good. The buyer than wanted to retain his Ernest money because of no approval. WELL, Jason had already told our agent that he changed his mind about our home and that he was in the process of writing an offer on another home for this buyer (doesn’t sound like he had a funding problem to me). He also told our agent his buyer had backed out on THREE contracts before ours. Didn’t back out from option period but after option, and used funding as an excuse. THREE CONTRACTS. I understand that an agent has to do what a buyer says but knowingly letting a buyer lie is unacceptable. You are letting your buyer comment fraud, not just once, or twice, or even three times… BUT FOUR TIMES. Than we find out that the buyer lives in Lewisville, he wasn’t from out of town. I don’t know what kind of game they were playing but they cost us time and money and days on the market. Jason obviously has no idea what he is doing, the fact that he keeps letting this guy do this makes me wonder about his integrity. I wouldn’t recommend him for buying or selling a home. He obviously is in it for the money only and take ethics serious. Makes me wonder how many more times he will let his buyer do this. I wanted to report him to the real estate ethics board but my agent wasn’t happy about that. She wouldn’t send me any of the documentation I needed. That action made me question her integrity as well, needless to say she is no longer my agent.
