Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.

I was involved in an accident on may 18th. That was their driver's fault. It's now the june 28th (a month later) and they are still "reviewing" to find liability and coverage, even tho police report and the driver VERY CLEARLY STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS AT FAULT AND RAN A STOP SIGN. Over a month now with a rental And when I call? The lady was so lazy sounding it wasn't even funny. Very disappointed in this insurance company. It's been over a month now. On Monday they told my adjustor they were overnighting the checks. It's now Thursday morning and still no check. They sent the first check after settling to the wrong address. Then we're supposed to overnight them again to the actual address and here we are. Still nothing. Rental car has been extended 4 times because the accident was on May 18th and it's now June 29th with nothing. I have had to call every week to keep them doing their own job. And the person handling my claim (Amy lyles) is about as rude and lazy as it gets. She actually had the nerve to tell me " you have no reason to contact us. You should be calling your adjustor for any information, because that's your point of contact to us" yet they ignore my adjustors calls and messages constantly

I don't usually like to leave bad reviews, but I need to let people know the type of business these people conduct. I was recently scammed out of nearly $2800 by Ritesh Patel (Advocate Lutheran General) and Priti Patel (Berkshire Hathaway) and I do plan to pursue them in court.

I agreed to rent a town home from Ritesh Patel with Priti Patel acting as his agent. They are renting under the name J&J Real Estate LLC. There were certain repairs that they agreed to make prior to my move-in date. Upon inspection at move-in, these repairs were not made. In addition to that, there were no window blinds, washing machines not functional, living room floors damaged, backs door not secured (no keys), and a very obvious gas leak in the home.

I immediately took pictures and notified Priti that these repairs are needed and it's a safety hazard. I know this because I am a corporate property manager and a home owner myself (currently selling my home now, with possibility of moving out of town next year). After speaking with Priti, Ritesh immediately called me back stating he would not fix anything. He was screaming "that's how I bought the house so that's how I'm renting it." He then demanded that that I leave the key on the table as he changed his mind about renting to me. No problem at all, I immediately left the key on the table and sent him a snapshot to confirm that evening. I prefer not to die in a unsafe rental property. This occurred on the 1st which was my move-in date.

Till date, Ritesh Patel has refused to refund my 1st month rent nor my security deposit. He even had the nerve to immediately repost that dangerous and unsafe gas-leaking town home online for the next victim. Priti Patel has attempted to remove herself from the equation although she is very aware as an agent that Ritesh is illegally holding on to my funds. I will be filing suit against Ritesh and Priti very soon. They courts will have a field day with all the photos, text messages, and emails that I plan to submit.

This is just a word of warning to think twice about doing business with these two unexperienced persons. Avoid at all cost!

As I was signing paperwork to agreed price- they called another bidder and sold to them because they could settle faster. UNETHICAL! DO NOT USE!

Great agent, great person. She puts her clients first and works extremely to help meet all of her clients Real Estate needs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was looking for a Real state company to help us sell our home in NJ. My husband's disabled and the property has gotten just too much for us.

We decided that moving to a warmer climate might actually help him with his disability and the pain that he is in on a daily basis.

So we listed our property with Berkshire Hathaway. Biggest Mistake we could have made.

So... it's on the market... our agent leaves after a few months and we never are notified... the new agent never contacts us and our house just sits and sits and sits.

I decided to email our first agent for paper work I needed and I did receive an email after about a month... that's how I found out that she was gone. She told me that she would have the new agent get in touch with me and would make sure I got the paperwork I needed. Needless to say... it never happened...

I called and asked to now talk to the agent responsible for our property and I was told that he was away for personal reasons. I asked to have him call me when he became available. That was on a Saturday. A week pasted and no phone call. I called and asked for him and was told again he wasn't in. I asked again to have him call me.

But, this time the receptionist yelled at me that I should call him... that it was up to me to call him. Honestly I felt like well... I will just leave that a lone...

I told her that was his job and I gave him an entire week to get back to me... that I would be there in 15 minutes with the sign... that I no longer wanted to have them handle my property.

I hung up... picked up the sign and went to the real estate office... to my surprise no one was there... it was deserted... I had to yell for someone twice and bang on the front desk for help.

A women came up and all she kept saying to me was... I don't know who you are... she must have said that about a dozen times or so... as I tried to explain the situation. My daughter who was with me just said let's go mom... it's obvious that she doesn't care... and we left.

Now we have wasted numerous months with an agency that doesn't work for their clients... yet alone get back to them. My husband is a sickly man and after all this and I did write the corporate office I get " sorry and good luck with the sale of your home"

You tell me... if you were in my shoes and you wasted valuable time... how would you feel...
So... my advice to anyone. DON'T USE BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY AS YOUR REALTORS... YOU MIGHT JUST END UP LIKE US...

You can really see the knowledge and experience Warren Buffet and the people around him provide.
