RE/MAX Alliance Boulder

Update: Greg Smith did call me on 7÷13÷15, saying that he read my review
Greg said they were going to inform any potential buyer to have the place measured before paying for an inspection, although hiring someone to measure will cost money too, and is still a bad situation for buyers to have to go through, when the true square footage has already been measured and is known.
Greg also told me that they weren’t going to use the 698 square footage that the certified appraiser came up with in my transaction because this figure could vary from another appraisers calculation. This may be true, but since all appraisers measure the same way, and this is not rocket science, there couldn’t be more than a couple of square feet variance, and we are talking about 698 measured square feet vs. 801 in the listing. Greg stated that the seller is refusing to have Unit 503 measured, and is sticking with the larger number.
Greg also said he added wording to comments in the MLS, stating there was a discrepancy in the square footage the certified appraiser in my transaction measured and what they have stated on the MLS. It was in the comments that only Agents can see, so I had to ask my agent to cut and paste what he read, and send it to me. This is what I found at the end of the comments section:
«Seller and Broker have not measured the property and have seen different values so Buyer to please verify.»
**************New Update: as of afternoon 07÷14÷15
I got an email from The Boulder County Assessor stating that the 801 square feet includes the balcony, and recommended stating that. I forwarded the email to Greg Smith, and it didn’t take long for the MLS to be updated stating that 801 square feet included the balcony. It is in the comments that everyone can see, not just for agents.
I feel that this listing now fairly represents the property, and is fair to potential buyers.
I’ve upped my rating to 3 stars, since it appears Greg has made an effort to disclose this property’s square footage fairly.

Greg is a great motivator, and a fantastic support mechanism at just the right times when I need him. His enthusiastic attitude and calm approach make me look forward to every day when I come in and hear ‘Zach Attack’! The team of people Greg has put together at RE/​MAX Alliance make it an excellent work environment. It’s the icing on the cake!

Worked with Bob Gordon in looking for our first home. He was attentive and available throughout the process. Showed us around 60 homes over a 6 month period before we finally found one to settle. Everything was smooth and the office staff was helpful the few times we had to see them.
Bob worked a great deal for us considering the asking price and what we purchased for. We feel he had our interest in mind especially at closing when going over details. If your new to the area, ask him about the rental he has…

As I stated, the only time this agent and the managing broker contacted me… was AFTER I filed a complaint with REMAX, DORA, and DMAR. It is too late at that point. When Greg Smith left me a voice mail message — it was addressed to STACEY!!! DUH. I don’t return calls to people that don’t have a clue how to run a business and that treat a customer as if we’re stupid.
After speaking to an attorney — I learned that the seller or buyer ALWAYS has the right to terminate a contract, especially when the agent is unethical.
Although I requested Stacey to terminate the actual contract, she didn’t provide me with the document as requested.
She then refused to provide all documents/​contracts relative to this case — and waited until the night before the mediation to finally do so.
After mediation, the earnest money was given to me. The truth is that Stacey Schad did not provide the buyer with an amend/​extend that had the condition they wanted (extension of loan conditions). Stacey kept this info from me.
The buyer-​agent — Lori Grunewald — was equally deceptive in her practices as the rep for Coldwell Banker.
This is a perfect example of greedy people! It’s also a perfect example how most of these agents are uneducated and operating a business with zero customer service experience.
Please utilize DORA, DMAR, BBB and other local real estate associations that keep agents and managers in check. This is the only way to avoid getting screwed. Because I’ll bet I’m not the only person that experienced this… and with the same people.

My experience dealing with Bob Gordon has been one of the worst experiences of my professional life. Be very cautious before entering into any relationship with this so-​called real estate professional. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for any real estate needs that you may have.

I found Greg through a friend that is a pretty savvy real estate investor and we couldn’t be more pleased. Greg takes the time to get to know you and your family’s needs, genuinely cares and has the market knowledge /​business sense to tell you how things really are. He was very patient with us and there was never any pressure. Once he found the right property for us we were impressed with his negotiating style and ethics. Save yourself some trouble and check out Greg.
