HomeVestors Jim Estes Jim Estes Cornelius, North Carolina and his wife. Jim Estes came to my home twice.. They tried to Scam me out of my house for $33,000.00 (making repeatedly, after I had told them to stop lame unreseasblle excusses of things "wrong with the house". THEY SHOULD BE STOPPED!!!!my home Cornelius North Carolina
Jim Estes with HomeVestors,Inc. tried to SCAM me out of my home today. For his second visit to solicit me, he brought along his Wife - I had told his company when I first responded to his USMail solicitation that my house was NOT a fixer-upper. I was totally honest with Jim Estes in every way. Describing the home honestly and adequately when he made his first foray into the house. The house has a new roof - only a couple of years old - The carport has been newly painted - only two years ago, the entire house was remodeled only about 9 years ago - The house received new plumbing pipes this year - the electrical wiring was re-wired for the central air-conditioning system.
I had a offer on this house only a few months ago for $77,000.00. The Equity Line of Credit on this house is right at $60,000.00. Estes and the WIFE team , after he had made the SCAM PROPOSAL of $33,000.00 for this house - siting some lame fixer-up items (a tree needed to come down in the yard) the oil buring furnace (which is in working condition) needed to be replaced - the age of the house was not as new as some which are on the market -- When I told them that the things they was saying were not reasonable - THEY WOULD NOT STOP ARGUING WITH ME - Passing from Jim Estes - Then His WIFE would take over and - after I asked them to stop the conversation -THEY WOULD NOT. Just kept on with the lying hard-sell -- Actually trying to SCAM me out of my home.
In no reasonable way could they have thought for one moment that they were offering anywhere near a price for the home that was fair and/or reasonable. Since they knew better than what they were trying to force - They KNEW the value of the home -- THEY WERE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRYING TO SCAM ME. Flim-Flam (not even artists) -
Scares me to think that they are loose on the neighborhoods where old people widows, etc. might be fooled by their total lack of FAIRNESS and GOOD HONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES.
I would have not been against their making a fair profit on the purchase/resale/renting of the home; but to try to virtually STEAL it - and then with LYING FORCEFULNESS WHICH JIM ESTES AND HIS WIFE DISPLAYED THEMSELVES IS A SHAME AND I THINK A CRIME.
JIM ESTES SHOULD BE STOPPED - Evidently the entire company of HomeVestors - We Buy Ugly Houses Are Crooks and should be stopped immediatedly before any more people are hurt. I WILL be reporting Jim Estes and The HomeVestors which he represents to the Better Business Bureau; and I have already talked to the BBB at length concering this SCAM problem of Jim Estes, HomeVestors.
