Pam Popat NJ Homes

Pam Popat (with her partner, Pat Lopez) was the selling agent for our Sparta, Lake Mohawk, NJ home. Even though our Buyer was demanding and unreasonable (even Buyer’s closing attorney communicated this to our attorney), Pam worked hard to get us to fulfill Buyer’s every whim. For example, we had a custom-​made built-​in workshop in our garage which Buyer wanted gone. Pam advised us to oblige Buyer by referring us to HER handyman. $ 700 later, the Buyer and Pam’s handyman were both happy. We moved out of our house a month earlier than our preference, as per buyer’s closing date request. However, closing was delayed by two months because Buyer had trouble getting a mortgage, due to her poor financial shape/​credit history (of which Pam Popat should have informed us before we decided to accept the offer.) The house sat empty, and Pam rudely emailed us pictures of our lawn, requesting that we cut it. (Perhaps, a polite phone call would have worked better.) She knew we had sold our lawn equipment prior to vacating the house, and you would think she would take care of the lawn in preparation for our delayed closing! Our attorney actually asked Pam to hire someone to cut the grass. He said this was reasonable, considering how much money she makes on the sale. Pam claims that she called five people and couldn’t get anyone to do it. What utter nonsense! Pam is a decent agent if you want to close at any cost, but please don’t use her if you want her to advocate for you. Our horrific experience with Pam Popat had left us feeling taken advantage of, manipulated and deceived. We bought our first house 21 years ago through her, and we also allowed her to act as the Buyer’s agent (and collect a hefty commission) for a townhouse we FOUND OURSELVES. Shame. Her commission is all that she cares about. She is good at figuring out who she can drain money from to get to the closing quickly. Fairness and decency are secondary to her.

Pam is a consummate professional and goes out of her way to help you with absolutely everything — from pricing the home properly to what she calls «staging» and making it appealing, to suggesting contractors for anything that needs fixing. Highly recommended.
