Review: Capital Group Real Estate Inc

This real estate company, or at least the agent my realtor and I tried to work with is unethical. They listed a house for which they stated they had only recieved one offer. They ignored my contract offer and refused to return phone calls and e-mails for several days, after which they responded they had recieved 15 offers on the property and had accepted a CASH offer for the property. They are shady and I would not deal with them. Veiw any properties they list with suspicion and do not get your hopes up. They are unprofessional and probably crooked.

I recently viewed a property listed by this company. My agent called and was told they did not have any offers yet, so we low balled and did not add an escalation clause. Two days later they said they had gone with someone else.

I find it very odd that another offer appeared out of nowhere for a short sale (with 0 pictures online) after it had been on the market for 38 days.

They weren't forthcoming with any information. This does seem very shady.

This should be investigated and I would say that anyone who is listing thier home with this company should be VERY wary. I wonder if they benefit in someway by letting these homes slip into foreclosure. The house I referred to before was being foreclosed upon and the owner told my realtor that the agent from CGRE never presented ANY offers to them, not our offer 12,000 above the asking price and not that 'mysterious' cash offer. I'll be that house goes to a 'friend' or associate of CGRE.

You can ALWAYS submit a grievance with the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors about any Realtor's behavior that is unethical. We have a code of conduct that the NVAR enforces very rigorously. You can go to http://nvar.com/Portals/1/profsvcs/2009coe_en... to see the code. All Realtors MUST treat all clients and customers honestly.

Please do not lose faith in purchasing a home or Realtors, in general from a past experience. I know that I work constantly to provide excellent service to my clients to ensure their goals and expectataions are not only met but exceeded. It is possible to purchase short sales, foreclosures or lower priced properties in his market. Good luck!

I forgot to mention that you can also file a complaint with the Virginia Real Estate Board, who licensed the agent by going to http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/dporweb/enfocomp...

I called at least three different agents from this company, which had active listings that I wanted to show to my clients, neither never returned my calls.
This shows a very unprofessional pattern.
