Blue Carpet Manufactured Homes

I TRIED to buy a mobile home through Blue Carpet Manufactured Homes and am sorry I did. I would not use them again. In my opinion, the service I received from Michelle Fairchild was far from professional.

Not a good experience with Michelle in the Orange office. Selling a manufactured home and my agent won’t return phone calls or answer emails. The office and or the agent are constantly having me Re-​do the paperwork and I have been sent to the notary for the same paper three times. Now the ask me to sign more paperwork over and over again.
Went with this company on a recommendation but I would recommend you keep looking for a different realtor and office.

We are currently trying to get Zillow unlocked by Amanda Angrisani, who has blocked the sale of our home from publication for the last month since I wrote this review!!!
As a Professional IT Analyst, I am accustomed to and demand professionalism, especially when selling our home. This did not happen, our listing was taken «Off Market» during a busy seller weekend, and the sales person, Amanda, refused to provide a release for her breach of contract. We found out she is not even a licensed broker, as she did not inform us of this fact prior to contract signing. We’ve owned homes across the USA, but never a manufactured home previously, and we were not aware that listings in CA are legal without a selling agent being licensed for said homes.
Our Blue Carpet sales person, Amanda, was always late, rarely returned calls or emails, never followed through on requested items such as a simple file copy of the fliers, so that we had an empty box during busy buyer weekends, and there were always excuses. I received canned «I’m busy can’t talk now.» text messages, more often than not. She believed a few open houses and showings, one showing I had to perform, was top notch service. She even listed our home on Craig’s List without asking our permission first; total lack of communication skill sets!
Amanda went as far as text messaging me stating an offer went through on our home, and I could plan to move end of July, lying to me about HOA paperwork being submitted for the offer with money in escrow!
After much unnecessary hassle and wasted time with Amanda, we were released from our contract, thanks to the licensed broker, Michelle Fairchild. Finally, we listed with a licensed professional agent of our choosing. Amanda did not return the key when signs were picked up, rather, it was given to another realtor friend instead to return to us.

Michelle Fairchild is the most amazing and best agent in the industry to sell your home! She is quick to respond, honest, helpful, non-​judgmental, knowledgeable, proactive, easy to talk to and a great listener and person all around. She got me the best price on my home and assisted my daughter in getting her first manufactured home too. Whatever you do, go to Michelle. It’ll be the best choice you make in selling or buying a home. Great job! Thanks so much Michelle!!! — XOXO Melissa

We’d like to say thank you to Michelle Fairchild for all of your personable and professional assistance in selling my mothers home in Rancho La Siesta in a very timely manner. When we originally contacted you, we actually had plans on contacting other agents in the area, but you gave us such confidence in your experience and ability to sell her home that we immediately chose you and never looked back. It could not have gone any smoother! We thank you again!

Blue Carpet… DONT DO IT IF YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR HOME! If you don;t care if it sells or not, perhaps Blue Carpet will be ok for you. It was a very bad experience for me & it was the first time in my life I have ever fired someone (Amanda) I was told by the owner Wally that he would let me out of my contract, but he lied and Michelle was assigned to me, imo not much better than Amanda.
First off, the people that work for Blue Carpet are not licensed realtors, they are basically used car dealers. My #1 issue was I wanted my home on the MLS & Amanda told me «no problem». Fact– Blue Carpet CANNOT list ANY mobile home as they not properly licensed.
I asked them at least 10 times WHY CANT YOU PUT THIS MH ON THE MLS & i got at least 10 diff answers, but they never told me the truth which is Blue Carpet cannot list on the MLS by law.
From the very first meeting, Amanda was late by 45 min and that pattern continued until I fired her & I was given the nick name of «the mean lady». I have never had to fire anyone in my life before I met Amanda and I am not mean or high maintenance, but I do expect returned phone calls and honest work ethics, of which they have neither.
If you hire an agent, lets say Michelle-​more than likely she won’t show up for your open house as she will send «another realtor who is very qualified». Here is the funny part… our first open house we had 1 potential buyer or lookeloo… and the agent thought that to be a great success…1 PERSON…
You have got to be kidding as I busted my butt for days getting this MH perfect… for 1 person??? WTF-​I could have gotten more home buyers in here by standing on the street with an arrow… one of the reasons NO ONE showed up as its not advertised on the MLS! A decent open house is 10 potential buyers, NOT 1 and BC had the nerve to tell me I should be happy & that 1 is successful. Sorry BC, if the one person who saw it didn’t buy it, it’s not successful. Period.
Early on in the contract Amanda called me & told me we had a big problem, that my MH has never been registered in my name, last time it was reg. was 27 years ago and in order to clear up this problem we would need need buy a bond and it would be very expensive.
Despite me know this info was wrong, I was still concerned as Amanda assured me her info was correct. This was wed evening & I begged her (as I knew what i was up against!) to take care of this very stressful matter thurs or fri as I did not want to go the entire 3 day weekend worrying that I dont own my own home. She told me that she would be home friday nite and «I was all hers» and she promised to take care of the problem and call me early friday evening.
No call, no emails, no follow ups by her whatsoever. By late Friday evening I knew I would not hear from her, so I logged onto the DMV website and found out that once again, Amanda was wrong. The MH was in my name & no issues. I have no idea whos MH info she gave me & even after me stating I have been paying DMV fees every year in my name etc, Amanda insisted she was right and we had a big problem.
I texted her 2 times asking her why had she once again blew off our telephone appt & at 10pm I received this text «Sorry, I was with the baby». the next time i hear
from her, its Mon morning & she text mess me to say «No problems,. someone goofed :) » Wow, I goofed by hiring you.
Additionally, I was lied to verbally about the commission. On my contract is states $ 6000 & I asked is this the total I will have to pay as far as commissions. Amanda told me yes, I found out I was also responsible for the buys agents comm, bringing the total to $ 9000, not $ 6000.again,
There were missed meetings by Amanda & the last open house we had, I had to host it as Blue Carpet had no agents available. I am sure I did a far better job than my «hired professionals» & I actually took the time to post the open house on CL & recycler, we had 5 potential buyers. Michelle drove by and yelled out her car window «hows it going», she didn’t even get out of her car. Very professional.
Do yourself a big favor and hire a licensed real estate professional, someone that can actually advertise your home on the MLS so that buyers will know its for sale.
I have never had a real estate agent not return phone calls & this happened time and time again.
Blue Carpet will put out a sign out front, advertise on «Mobile Home Vill.» & if you insist, hold open houses. .if it sells great, if it doesn’t oh well. they play the numbers game. It’s dishonest & very unfair to customers who really need to sell their homes in a timely manner.
Lastly-​this is not just my opinion, every single person who had sold/​tried to sell their MH thru BC does NOT recommend them.
My contract expired today and I am VERY thankful for that. I will be hiring someone who can put my home on the MLS & will be happy to hold successful open houses of which lots of potential buyers will attend.

Michelle Fairchild is the go to girl to help you find a mobile home. She helped
me every step of the way, answered all my questions, worked very hard for me.
She is great and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a mobile home. The only problem I had was getting all the maintenance finished after I bought the home. This was not her fault, rather the maintenance guy. Other than this, my experience was very positive. Thank you Michelle for helping me find a house I just love!

Michelle is absolutely fabulous! I was about to lose my home and I gave her a call. At this very difficult time in my life, Michelle came in and gave me hope. It wasn’t easy going, buyers were shy of the park’s high fees, but Michelle stuck with me through thick and thin, and finally she had a buyer at the last minute! I can’t say enough about this fine woman, she is a very hard worker, an empathetic human being, and I am happy to call her a friend.

Michelle was great. We just bought a home and she explained everything clearly and went out of her way to find us just the right one.

I used their services. On their part, it was very quick, organized, simple. Agents are knowledgeable and will assist with other sources needed such as financing and insurance. I think that some things may not have been disclosed, but it all worked out in the end.
They are sneaky, especially the old man. I would not use them. to sell, and I would think twice to buy through them.

Michelle sent a post card to all the residents in our park, I called her based on that and she told me she wanted to expand her business into our area as she lives in Orange.
After a pleasant conversation about my home and the market she agreed to come to my home to see it and discuss listing it.
An hour before our appointment her assistant called to say that she had a doctor’s appointment and would not be able to make the appointment, we rescheduled for the next day.
An hour before the rescheduled appointment Michelle’s assistant called again to say that Michelle did not want to list our home and would not be coming.
I then called Michelle and left a voice message asking her to contact me as I would like to know what had changed and what she may know about my home that would cause her to make such a decision when she had not seen it.
I did not get a call back.
This is the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with in real estate.

She talks the talk but does not walk the walk. She seemed genuine at first, a real go getter. Then the first time we did an open house she told me she would be the one to show the house and that she would arrive at 1230pm. The open house was from 1pm-​4pm. Then, 40 min later someone else shows up to show the house. She was not briefed on the house and I had to spend time explaining the amenities. We had one couple show up and want to see the house at 1230pm and no one was there to show it. No one ended up coming to the open house, but I would still have liked a call or email regarding how it went and what the next step was. I asked her why she was not there to show my house like she had talked about and she asked me why she would waste her time sitting in my house when no one was going to show up. I then wanted to go online and check out what the photo slideshow looked like and how and what she was doing to sell my home. I found that there was a picture of the blue carpet office in the middle of my slide show which was odd. I sent her an email asking to have that picture taken off and to put up some better pictures of two of my bedrooms. This took 3 more emails and 2 weeks to get this resolved. We had another open house and the person she sent to do the open house left 30 min before the open house was meant to be over. I emailed Michelle about listing my house on the major home search sites such as Zillow, and Tulia. I asked if I could help by posting on craigslist, the penny saver, the newspaper, ect. This email was ignored the first time. The second time, I was told (in a nutshell) that she knows what she is doing and she doesn’t want any help from me. Worst of all she told me the reason she didn’t respond to my emails in a timely fashion was that she has other clients that warrant her attention. I lowered my price a few times and did countless open houses. I tried to be proactive in selling my home and I thought that keeping in contact with my realtor would help. I have not seen Michelle once since I signed a contract with her. Today, 3 months later, I asked for my MLS number (I was told that she would put it on the MLS when we first met.) She then tells me that she did not put it on at all and that she only does that for certain properties. I asked her to please put mine on the MLS. It has been on the market for 3 months now and I feel like we have wasted all this time not putting our listing on the number 1 resource for realtors to find their clients homes this summer. Her response, (via text message) was that she was tired of trying to make me happy and that she was canceling my contract with her. She told me that no one wants to live in my neighborhood so good luck selling. No offer to find me a different realtor, or even an option to continue trying. Needless to say I do not recommend michelle or blue carpet neither of them care about their clients.
