Complete lack of communication Berkshire Hathaway the agent made us drop the price a few times and never got a feedback unless we ask for it, no contract copies, we couldn't get a hold of her, only one open house almost close to the end of the contract, not one showing from her company and at the end they threw us out. I would not recommend this company at all especially Naperville offices. And please listen to me!

Our agent signed the house we wanted to buy. We asked if we should get s buyers agent she told us she could do both. The banker told us he thought it was odd for one person to represent the buyer and seller so we asked her again for a buyers agent and she assured us this would be no problem WELL IT WAS. We can not get BH to do the replacements and repairs for the items we listed in the buyers agreement. All previous reviews were so true they do not return calls or texts. I don't know who I should call next. Feel really cheated because I trusted BH. And they should not be trusted.

Very bad experience.
November 10, 2019

Listing agent Timothy Gordon very hard to work with. Tried to contact him for 3 days with no response. As a listing agent voice mail is full. Does not even both to check with seller when you requesting and requesting. Never work with this company again. Very frustrating.

They will treat you like you dont matter. They do not practice due diligence and are unethical. I lost a home purchase and over $5k. They held onto an offer for days and by the time i found out about it, it was too late and a bad offer at that. After 4 attempts to get them to cancel my contract they have yet to honor my request. You would think they owned my home. Never enter into a listing agreement with these people they do not care about you, your families or your wellbeing. My true rating for BHCP is negative 100

I have Berkshire guard insurance I had a major hail storm and it happened on 4/28/21 it has been a month I have called and called to talk to Sarah the adjuster. She will not return any calls at all I left several messages. As of 5/28 I had 4 individual companies look at roof and all said it was totaled the price all my neighbors got was 12 to 14,000 Dollats. Guard declined the claim saying it did not meet my deductible which is a joke. I am taking them to court take my advice and read reviews about guard insurance. Everyone is like me horrible service. Beware of this terrible company they do not even have a customer service dept

Unethical service
February 6, 2018

After we were agreed and made the payment in full, I have received a letter asking to make an extra payment. They excepted that it was their fault but they did not waive the extra $42 charge. They should have waived it since it is their fault.
After the payment is done they did not return my emails. /this is not ethical and not proper customer service. I am very disappointed the service they provide.

I think Warren Buffett is a brilliant business man. I say brilliant because he excercises wisdom and temperance in investing. I am not sure what the story is on this website. It is boring. I am sure he got some ribbing from his buddy Bill Gates on how pathetically old school the site is. (Hint: Warren I bet Bill could build one for you in his spare time)

Just an awful experience from start to finish. I have it all posted on my website in great detail if you can stomach it. In the end, before the actual closing - there were problems that Liz didn't even have a clue about that delayed the closing on that day -- BUT Liz took her full 5% commission -- $12,000 -- before the deal actually closed almost two weeks later. It was a nightmare beyond words. But the words are on my site: mmm6ftgirl.net. Liz DiPrimo should hang her head in shame. As should Berkshire Hathaway. An embarrassment.

I am a disabled veteran. Used VA loan to purchase my first house. I looked at a house and told the agent to put an offer in. She called the listing agent (who was selling the house because his grandparents died and left the house to him and his uncle). All was well until my agent stated it was a VA loan. Damon Covert (the listing agent) said that he was not going to deal with a VA loan because it was too much of a hassle. He said because this was his own house he didn't want to put up with "VA $#*!". He didn't know that I was standing next to my agent when he ran his mouth. He then put my personal information on Google reviews when I posted a review about him. BH seems to spawn ignorant, unethical agents.

LIARS
June 29, 2019

When my real estate agent said "don't worry, you can cancel this listing AT ANY TIME if you're not happy with my work/results, I believed him. Don't believe them about anything. He should have said, if he'd been honest, "you can cancel the listing anytime but my broker won't let you out of this listing or if you sell the property we'll sue you". Don't walk, RUN away from this group of lying thieves.

They will sucker you in and then after a few months bail and send you a cancellation notice for no reason. Then send you to a company they own at high risk rates. Once that cancellation is on your record you can't get insurance without it being crazy high..

I rented a condominium at a golf resort in Naples Florida for 3 months starting 1/1/20. I told the broker that this was a first time rental for me and I wanted to play golf during my rental. In addition to monthly rent of $4,000 i paid and additional $400 to acquire golf membership privileges for my entire rental period. Months after the check cleared and RIGHT before I'm going to move in, I learn that I still have to pay extra fees to play golf at the golf course. When I called the broker to complain about the misrepresentation, he just said that everybody does that...

Trying to rent a home in town and the agent has been jerking us around for 2 weeks now and is refusing to return calls/texts. That is not how you do business. Do not do any business with this company.

My realtor Marg Whedon lied to me, manipulated me into a contract I never wanted to be in! Then when I fired them, they have continued to delay me and prevent me from selling my property! She works for the buyer, not the seller! They also are refusing to give me back info for a cash buyer I got myself and had given the info to them incase her manipulated deal fell through, Message to her friend that she has been trying to get a property for 2 years, Do yourself a favor and get a new agent!

I was interested in a rental. After 2 emails, 2 requests to tour, and leaving a voicemail, I finally get an email back saying another agent will get back to me. After waiting a whole day, I emailed again asking if I could get in touch with the agent directly. They told me to continue to wait. Hours later i searched the agent myself and got the phone number and sent a text. Hours later she finally contacts me with a small window of time to be there. No flexibility, no trying to accommodate the client. I had to rearrange my work schedule to see it and the next day she wants to change the appointment. Meanwhile I see the property is no longer available and when i ask why I got text after text trying to goad me into an argument. I finally had to tell her to stop texting or I would consider it harassment. She also had the nerve to claim their company is " the best rated in the state" if that's true we're in big trouble!

SELLERS STAY AWAY!
October 16, 2022

They will breach the contract and you are stuck with it. Thank God we listed for 60 days.

Be warned! George Patsio doesn't care. List and they will sabotage the sale of your property!

She is either MIA, late, or after 20 days will tell you she has needs help as she doesn't know your market. Office manager Claudia, Broker George as useless. You will be stuck on a contract like we are. She has no clue what to do to sell a house. OPEN HOUSE AFTER OPEN HOUSE and she is late to all. And if anything she changes the time on MLS at the last minute. We are stuck on a contract after letting them know we are unhappy. Ready, we said we are unhappy on Monday and she took all pictures and info on MLS on Tuesday. DO NOT SIGN WITH HER PR BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY! We are proof over 30 days on the market with no offer, and her other listing on the market 149 days!

After having my car severely damaged whilst being transported to container depot for shipment to England i claimed damages &was finally agreed. When asked if the address the had was the one to send check to I said I prefer wiring g the money. Was told they only do checks? Its the 21st century! I recieved a check &now have to go through the expense & time consuming (6-8) weeks process of getting a dollar check transferred into UK pounds. This is going to cost hundreds of dollars due to the lousy exchange rate give. The worst unhelpfull ucooperative insurance company I've ever dealt with.
