Our experience with RMJ has been extremely poor. First issue was valuation- we stated what we needed , (based on comparables in our area) We raised concern with price it was going to be marketed due to the price we needed, however trusted their expertise, all low end offers initially. We were told that our seller was under pressure to move, we were surprised to have our offer accepted as was aware that there were many offers on the property all in different positions ( we also had an inkling our offer was going to be accepted by comments made to us). To note - we were not proceed able buyers. It then took 13 days for our home to go into the market, despite me chasing (we had a 14 day cooling of clause in our contact) . According to RMJ we held this up because we refused to go ahead with the professional photography we were being ‘strongly advised’ to use after several times of telling them no. Pushing us to accept offers -2offers received- at the bottom end of scale, Nancey was basically pushing us into accepting these. We refused. Our property had been on the market 1 week. Nancey very abrupt and rude on these phone calls. After refusing the offers Nancey then called me to say she’d spoken to the house we were buying, and they had kindly offered to deduct money from the sale price. Could we now accept one of the offers on the table. Whilst we were extremely grateful for this reduction, we were still not where we needed to be; they were fully aware of this. We felt like we were backed into corners constantly throughout this process. We never asked for this reduction. We were prepared to pay what we offered; so we’re extremely grateful by this kind gesture from our seller; although we had a very strong feeling something wasn’t adding up. After trying to get this revised figure in writing, we finally did after a week of chasing - was no conditions attached to this reduction. We then accept an offer on our home at the price we were happy with. Only problem was, our buyer had his home on the market. So wasn’t proceedable at that moment in time ( we was in a worst position as when our offer was accepted we wasn’t even in market!) Reece then started advising us now the reduction in value was based on us received x & x on our home. I advised this was never the case, and nor should our seller know our offers on our home that’s confidential. Reece started back tracking saying it was now based on us having a proceedable buyer. Nancey tells me the house we were buying was going back to market; I was utterly shocked, I then spoke to the seller directly who advised they never agreed to a reduction In Price! Despite it being put to us,that the seller was the one to have offered to reduce, the seller told me that she was told we could not afford our offer! And could they reduce the price! to say we were shocked was an understatement! The seller told Me how it unfolded from their side and this made sense. When I called Nancey out on this, Nancey basically implied the owner was getting confused (an elderly person involved). instead of taking accountability and owing the situation and admitting a huge mistake has happened. we, to date have been told numerous versions of this how this happened. Thankfully all documented in emails. The current story from rmj is the seller did agree it but unfortunately wasn’t recorded on the system or an instruction was never put in place; however this has been done now🙃; I have asked how can conversation now be logged when it never happened! Strange how this was done after us complaining and losing the property too. Unprofessional, unfair and unjust comments about our buyer, because they door knocked a property to register their interest and they had a SO property to sell. This is just a VERY brief’ summary of our experience with RMJ. We are currently going through the motions of the complaint procedure. My advice would be if you do use RMJ; record everything in writing, every single call! Only positive was Freya was very helpful and friendly!
