Dory Cameron Review

This realtor panics when a property is slow to sell and pressures you to make dramatic price drops. After we dropped the price twice to the tune of $30,000.00 she wanted to drop again another $10,000.00. After we said no she moved out her staging (during a showing) and canceled her contract leaving clients who have made her over $30,000.00 in 10 years high and dry. She may be a discount broker charging 1% but she will discount your home by much more!!In the end you will lose$$$

Reply: Hi Bryan. While I am disappointed in the review, note that you did land up selling your property with another agent for approximately $70,000 less than what we had it listed for. The realtor you chose after me did not stage the property and I'm not sure if there were any open houses. The market was brutal at the time you listed and between the open houses I held, the independent showings where I showed your property to buyers, the feature sheets in the take-one box, the feedback from each showing that we received, the virtual tour linked to your listing, and the $6,000 staging job that I did at no charge to you, I truly did my very best. Had I been given the chance to list your property for $70,000 less than what we listed it for, no doubt we would have had a sale. As for your contract, please refer to the expiry date. I left the staging items in and encouraged showings after the expiry date in an effort to get your home sold. And naturally I would never remove staging items while a showing was taking place. In fact the realtor showed up to show your home and I was waiting down the street. They stopped in front of the house, didn't like what they saw and then drove away. I proceeded to then, after the realtor had left, to remove the staging items. I know you posted this rating as soon as our listing expired and I'm sure that had you known you would be selling the property with your next realtor for $70,000 less than you had it listed with me, you would have never posted the negative rating. All the best to you Bryan. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Reply: Bryan, as it turned out, when you listed with another realtor, you did $70,000 in price reductions in order to get your place sold. That realtor didn't stage it which is unfortunate because the huge smile on your face that you had when I showed you all the complimentary staging I had done to your home, to make it look like a showhome, spoke volumnes about how pleased you were. The location of your property was challenging. And no, if you check the contract, you will note that I removed the staging items AFTER the contract had ended. But you sold, eventually, for $70,000 less than I had it listed for, so it shows that price reductions were, in fact, required to get your home sold. All the best as you move forward.
