Dirty Realtors Cloud Home Title

In my opinion, Linda Bobski and Karen Bergin (Coldwell Banker Advantage OPKS) should lose their real estate licenses for their lack of ethics and unlawful real estate practices. I believe that they are dirty, narcissistic women who feel like they can muddy the title to someone's property without violating any code of ethics.

Once Linda Bobski and Karen Bergin had their illegally filed Affidavit of Vested Interest in place, they proceeded to demand that my parents reimburse them for expenses they claimed to have spent marketing their property. The only problem is, they demanded reimbursement of expenses which were never spent on marketing the listing agreement they had in place on the home.

In essence, Linda Bobski and Karen Bergin held this home hostage and blackmailed my parents for financial gain. Linda Bobski and Karen Bergin should lose their real estate licenses for extortion and unethical conduct.

To substantiate my claims, I invite everyone reading this to visit www.recorder.claycogov.com Once there, you can login as a guest (no password required) and search the real estate records for a business named RSB Realty. The illegal document filed by Karen Bergin and Linda Bobski is instrument #2007032423, dated 08/06/07, book #5778, page 125. You can pull it up, view the actual document and even print out a copy. There is no denying that this document served no purpose but to muddy the title to my parents property given that 8 different attorneys (licensed by the Missouri Bar) deemed it illegal. But when a bankrupt man has no financial means to defend himself in court, the use of this document by his broker and/or agent becomes extortion.

It is no different than if Linda Bobski herself was to hold a gun to my stepfather's head and scream: "YOU WILL EITHER PAY ME WHAT I DEMAND OR YOUR PROPERTY WILL NEVER SELL!"

Now tell me honestly, is that right? Or does this constitute unethical actions on behalf of Coldwell Banker, Karen Bergin, and Linda Bobski?

I can't believe they can get away with this! Have you tried suing them?

Not surprising... realtors are some of the most crooked people I've ever met.

These realtors made a mockery of our judicial system. I'm appalled that they feel they are above the law and if this case came before me, I would not have allowed them to continue their abuse.

If a contract is broken, steps to enforce the contract are taken up in the filing of a civil suit. If the judge finds for the plaintiff, a judgement is entered and the plaintiff has the right to enforce the judgement within the boundaries of the law. However, to arbitarily file a lein or document against one's property thus making it unmarketable is circumventing the entire judicial system.

If this man fell behind on his mortgage payments the bank would not have been able to sieze the property without going through the proper channels. Why then should a realtor be able to damage the title to the property without going through those same steps?

I would suggest the victims of this realty firm file complaints with the attorney generals office.

I think it's time that sellers fought back against these greedy realtors. I suggest that every seller who is brought a discounted, low ball offer by a realtor, accept the offer with the following inclusion inserted into the contract.

Seller accepts buyers offer contingent on the listing agent/broker reducing their commission by $_________ and the selling agent returning $_________in commissions to the seller upon closing of property.

This contingency can be added under the additional terms and conditions line, which is generally several blank lines just above the expiration date of the contract and right before the buyers and sellers signatures.

Anyone using this contingency should also know that if the broker/agent refuses to present your counter offer to the buyer, they are in breach of contract; and you have the right to enforce their fiduciary responsiblities to present ALL offers, or you can demand a release from the exclusive listing agreement.

So if the brokers and/or agents refuse to reduce their commissions, they end up looking like greedy jerks because they sabotaged the deal. And who is going to be really ticked off??? The BUYER, who had his offer accepted by the seller, but still isn't getting his home because of the realtors failure to renegotiate their commissions. And do you think the buyer will continue to work with that realtor? I don't think so.

My take on it is like this: If the brokers and their agents want to play dirty legal games with homeowners property titles, then it's high time consumers started playing by the same rules and using some of their own tactics against them.

weird

i no u ppl

Ladies and Gentlemen, without further adieu, here's another shining example of realtor deceit:

When my parents refused to re-list this property with Linda Bobski, she stole several home decor accessories from my mother. I guess she felt like she wanted something out of the deal and since she couldn't sell the house, she might as well help herself, right? Anyway, just for grins I'm going to allow our loyal readers to examine this little slice of evidence, which will help to verify this incident.

Anyway, I've taken the liberty of editing a couple family photos and super imposing them onto a screen shot of Linda Bobski's staging website, and I posted it here: http://tinyurl.com/d26ekd Note the photos of floral arrangement and the pot with stick thingys which are framed in bright yellow. These are the edited family photos I spoke about. Now follow the bright yellow arrow up to the thumbnail shown at the top of Linda Bobski's website. If you look closely, both my mother's accessories are included in that photo at the top of her page. Coincidence? I think not!

And just for a bit of added verification, I encourage you to visit this thief's website yourself at luxuryrealestatestaging.com

Sellers need to be warned about this real estate firm.
