As a first time home buyer, this is one of the worst decisions I've ever made. I worked with Chour Pietrek and her team was unreliable. She rushed my family and I into choosing a house that wasn't functional for us. My family and I trusted her as our agent and we feel like we were scammed. First of all, Chour had no knowledge of the house's past history and couldn't answer any questions we had about the houses that we looked at. When my family and I had settled for a house, Chour told me that I should offer more than the actual price. Chour had also told me not to hire an inspector. This was terrible advice coming from a realtor. I had trusted her word and didn't hire an inspector which turned out to be a bad decision. As a first time home buyer, I trusted her very much. That very day Chour immediately told us to go to her office to sign the papers and was insistent that we buy the house right then and there. Upon financing to buy the house, her team was awful to work with. The financial person she recommended us to work with was disorganized and was asking for unnecessary documents that weren't needed for financing. Then when it came to the day my family and I were moving in, the financial person gave us the wrong down-payment amount, which we did not find out until the day of closing. He miscalculated the total price and I had to quickly go back to them and pay the remaining amount. I would never go back to Berkshire Hathaway nor their agents. Just this interaction alone tells me how inept Berkshire Hathaway employees are.
