Rising Realty

I am having a very difficult time with this company. They are representing a foreclosed property next door to me, and as a real estate professional I can say that they are doing a very negligent job for their client (the seller) as well as for our neighbors. They have the property listed at a much lower price than they could get if they marketed it properly– (about 100,000 under market) and have serious repairs that despite repeated requests are not being taken care of, even thought they are potentially dangerous. Right now there is a 10′ piece of aluminum hanging off the from the side of the roof of the property that may fall with a strong wind. If it falls, it will land in a small area where children and other residences come come in and out. When trying to get this fixed, I am getting a typical runaround. Its been 5 days so far, luckily the weather is calm today. As neighbors are forced to call the alderman to report the code violation. Never hire them. They have been terrible at every turn since day one over a year ago. There are much better companies out there.

This is a review of Chuck Ginsberg at Rising Realty –
Contacted Chuck about a unit he had listed on a Friday; no response until the Monday after. Chuck was «super excited», then failed to return any follow-​up calls to set up an appointment until late Tuesday afternoon.
Turns out Chuck was using that time and effort to get a better offer — avoid him at all costs: dishonest.
To Ann’s point: the offer was at list.

I am a Real Estate agent trying to present an offer on one of their homes and the do not return calls.

Finally just closed on a condo in Edgewater after about 6 months of dealing with short sales. This was a very stressful and anxious time but fortunately it was made easier by Al Canaveral from Rising Realty. The first place a found was a short sale that took several months of waiting around. However, Al was always quick to respond to emails or even text messages whenever I had a question. After that deal fell out, I started my search over again. I had about 10 different areas i was interested in from the Burbs to the city and Al had no problem sending me listings form every area I gave him.
I would definitely work with Al and Rising Realty again when I’m ready to move. I will be referring all my friends and relatives to him in the future!

Rising Realty is a nightmare.
Their staff is rude, inefficient and completely lack any type of customer friendly culture. Unfortunately, my fiancé and I were forced to do business with them as they were representing the seller of a foreclosure property we recently purchased. While I completely understand that foreclosures are tricky business and they move at a much slower pace than normal real estate transactions, I couldn’t believe the audacity these folks had in their interaction with us. The inappropriateness of their email exchanges and their lackadaisical attitude were appalling. You would think that if someone is selling something, they would be thrilled to have an interested buyer, especially in this market, right? Not these people.
They make it nearly impossible for a buyer to get through the process. They were painfully slow in taking care of various requirements for the purchase. In fact, they even scheduled a closing with us — and we showed up (having taken off from work, mind you) only to find out that they had failed to secure a water certification for the property from the City. We ended up having to wait another week for them to take care of something they should have done weeks prior to the close. This required us to extend the closing date and WE were penalized with a $ 220 fee. ALL because of their incompetence.
If you have the option of not working with Rising — my recommendation (after dealing with them for the past five months), is steer clear!
