We are appreciative to have the opportunity to address the concerns you’ve brought up in your review. If there are any themes resounding from our online reviews, it's that our customers love us for our fair and transparent pricing, our smooth and easy process, and our professionalism in how we communicate with our customers. It is clear that your review intends to undermine our business and brand reputation as it suggests that we are a company that is built on deceptive representation and a lack of transparency, coercive and unethical sales tactics, and legal threats and intimidation; this couldn’t be further from the truth. We have made many failed attempts to reach you in order to come to a peaceful and reasonable resolution, and you have interpreted this as harrassment. Instead of talking through these matters over the phone with you, we feel the need to not only point out the fallacies in the specific statements and claims in your review but also request that you and/or TrustPilot remove this baseless and intentionally harmful review. While we are truly sorry for your frustration, and believe you’re genuinely upset, we do have to require some accountability on your part though, as the reasons you’re upset are based on elements of your story that you have fabricated as an attempt to smear our company.
First, we want to address your claims that we were deceptive and intentionally lacked transparency in our process; this is not true. When you met with Lucas, you filled out and executed a full purchase contract, based on the terms you negotiated and agreed to. This document is not only very clearly a contract, but you were happy with the terms at the time you signed it. You do in fact have a copy of the contract you signed, and the reason you’re upset is that you wanted to change your mind and sell to someone else after signing the contract, or require that we increase our already agreed upon price upward in the amount of $40,000. You’ve stated both of these things in writing to us in an effort to force a result that you have no right to demand. Even if you truly intended to stay in the house and not sell at all (which we know is not the case from the contradicting stories and demands you’ve tried to corner us into), you have a legal obligation to proceed with the sale and we expect you to follow through on that, just as you would expect us to.
Second, we want to address your claims that we use coercive and unethical sales tactics. We do not force any of our customers to sign our contracts. Your agreement to sell to us was 100% voluntary and the contract spelled everything out very clearly. You were able to take all the time you needed to read through it and ask questions.
Lastly, we want to address your claims that we are employing legal threats and intimidation. Simply stated, this is how you are perceiving us simply executing on the contract that you signed when we met with you.
We consider this review as nothing more than a further attempt to leverage an increased purchase price/allow you to sell to someone else and breach your contract without any consequences, which is not a proper or fair use of this platform. While we are truly saddened to have to be discussing things in this manner, we simply cannot allow you to publicly slander not only our business, but our agent’s integrity, without refuting what are frankly untrue and unmerited claims. We remain committed to seeing the transaction through and we are ready to speak with you if and when you’re willing to.
Sincerely,
Big State Home Buyers
