Reviews of Weichert Realtors - The Griffin Company (Real Estate Agency)

Jane Doe

At first they were kind and fair to rent from but after the company split from the property people they were with they became very bad to do any business with. The Wife, Mrs. Elizabeth King was rude and condescending every time we talked to her. She never was willing to see the faults of the horrible roach problems they are experiencing on most of their properties and try to make the renters at fault for a problem they try to hide until someone moves in a finds the horrible infestations. My husband and I have experienced nothing but hatefulness from her even though we were ideal renters. (On time payments, Clean, never had complaints, non destructive) And the 1 time we were late on rent in the 2 years we lived at their property my brother had been murdered and I was a wreck and she told me that wasn't her problem and she wanted her money right away. Mr. King, however, seems to be the more kind and understanding of the two and is a little more willing to work with any problems that arise as long as you are a good renter. Overall I would never rent from this group again unless Mrs. King was no longer allowed to be part of handling anything that requires her to talk to another human being.

I met Kevin last November when I decided to become a real estate investor. I had worked with 2 other real estate agents in the past, but was sorely disappointed in the service I received as well as the agents' professionalism. Kevin more than surpassed my expectations of how a real estate agent should be. He is extremely knowledgeable, very approachable, professional, and trustworthy. I have purchased two investment properties to date, and Kevin has made the process stress-free each step of the way. He has always made himself available for any questions or concerns I have had. I completely trust and value his advice, so much so I recently attended an investment seminar he conducted. I learned so much about being a real estate investor! I will soon be purchasing my next property and look forward to working with Kevin again. He is the only agent I will use, and I have recommended him to many friends and colleagues.

Kevin and Elizabeth were great to have on our team during such a critical decision making time in our lives. My wife and I were buying our first house and the King’s knowledge of the market and dedication to finding us a home we would be happy with allowed us to enjoy the home search rather than stress over it. We dealt mainly with Kevin, but when he was out of town, Elizabeth showed us a few houses and was equally knowledgable, professional, and helpful. My wife and I joke that any time they would show us a house, it was less like talking to a realtor trying to sell the home, and more like talking to the next door neighbor that can fill you in on all the details of the home, the area, and everything you need to know before making such a commitment! I hope you find them as helpful as we did!

The review stating these folks are incompetent and self absorbed falls short in describing them. They shattered any ethical boundaries, regulatory or otherwise and the realtor who handled our deal should be investigated criminally.

Lisa Elmore is great! She made my first time buying a home super easy. With all of her help she made the experience stress free. I would highly recommend her to any one looking to buy or sell!!!

Andrea Jansen

My husband and I had a great experience with Weichert King Reality. Lisa Elmore was wonderful when it came to selling our house and buying a new one. She was very motivated, thorough, enthusiastic, and had a great deal of patience. She was very understanding to our needs and desires and worked diligently to find the perfect house for us. We are so grateful for her hardwork! We would most definitly use herand Weichert King again!

Josh Roe

We have a great agent that is doing everything she can to help and make everything not so stressful she is the best

Can't make appointments....always have something more important to do...worst realty experience of my life

DeShawn Bradford

I had a horrible experience renting from this company, as they are reluctant to help when situations arise, and do not return your security deposit in a timely ethical manner. My unit was left in better condition than I received it, although $200 was taken out of my deposit for “cleaning” and keeping the utilities on after termination of my lease.

Realtor got to busy and I felt like he didn't represent me well when the negotiating got going.

Amazing group!

Lisa Elmore deserves a 5 star rating. She took all the anxiety out of selling my house, did all the work and stayed in great communication. Lisa is a great agent. I highly recommend her.

Robin Williams

Lisa Elmore was amazing to work with. She helped us sell my father's home after he passed away. I live out of town but she made the whole process easy. She actually went to check on my father's house when a neighbor had contacted her to say they were concerned that someone might be in the house. Lisa went above and beyond her duties as a Realtor. She was very kind and patient as well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in buying/selling a home! Thank you Lisa!!

Lisa Elmore was our real estate agent when we bought our home. She was very patient in getting us through the steps of looking at homes, answering all of our questions and taking back to the house when we forgot to look at something. She too us through house after house until we found the house that was right for us. Then, very patiently walked us through the home buying process. She made a scary process very painless and simple. I would absolutely recommend giving her a call if you are in the market.

Freddie Byerly

Working with Chris Erstine on selling my current house. Fantastic experience. I've never reached his voicemail when calling and he has kept me updated on each showing. Very good at his craft. Highly recommend.

ZERO STARS. "THE WEICHERT DIFFERENCE" SOMETHING ABOUT SPRINGDALE - WEICHERT, REALTORS® - THE GRIFFIN COMPANY If you are looking to buy any RE Property, this Real Estate Office is the last place to be used for it. All they want is to trap you into signing a contract (exclusive right to buy that is) and make you completely dependent on them; you are not going to be able to use any other Realtor for six plus months even if you do not like this office. Moreover, if you decide to terminate this ridiculous relationship, you will have to pay $1000 as an early termination penalty (that is probably, how they make the majority of their income). By the way this so-called Contract is used only if the RE Office cannot provide adequate comparable service for the Buyer. The RE Agent Mallory Stroud (witch was supposed to work with me) seemed in complete prostration and could not answer any questions, so she ran for Help and The Help arrived: Greg Spencer - The Broker. He looked very official and behaved like Supreme Leader, so when I asked him: how could I sign the “Exclusive Right to buy Contract” for 6 months with an agent that I saw for the first time in my life, do not now how knowledgeable she is, if she fits to be working on my project and even before the first showing? He replied: We, in Arkansas (then added) in our Office, require signing such a contract. After a few seconds of thinking, he pronounced: but it is completely her choice, if she is willing to proceed without it. I have been in a RE business for 30 years and I have never come across such ridiculous condition: “Unless you sign an Agreement, you're not gonna go see the properties”… Indeed, I refused to sign it and told them, that I would have to report this issue to Arkansas Board of Realtors. Therefore, Mr. Spencer replied: Good luck with this one, I am sitting on that Board! In conclusion – my wife and I left the Office with very hard fillings, wasted time and a bad taste in a mouth. GOOD JOB, “WEICHERT”. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! ======================================================= In response to your response: as a Realtor, you should understand the difference between “Buyer Agency Agreement” and “Exclusive Right to Buy Agreement” “Exclusive Right to Buy Agreement”- What distinguishes this contract is the buyer may not retain more than one broker to assist him or her. It sets forth the commission amount to be paid to the broker, which is owed even if the buyer finds the house him/herself or another broker does so. Some offices (like, for example yours) squeeze the “Early Termination” stipulation with the penalty (in your case) of $1000. It means that if you even do not satisfy the buyer’s expectation, he cannot get out of this agreement in one peace. And, by the way, time is always very important for the Buyer. “Buyer Agency Agreement”- Homebuyers typically sign buyer broker agreements with their real estate brokers/agents before writing a purchase agreement for the certain property. The buyer broker agreements spell out precisely who represents the buyer. It is also known as buyer representation, without any further obligation from the buyer’s side. This you have to learn before taking your Arkansas Real Estate exam.

Thank you Lisa Elmore for being so helpful, professional & adding a personal touch with the sell of our home. You made the complicated paper work & process go smoothly. We will definatly call you again if the need arises.

John Connley

Great staff. Treat you like family.

Kellie Cohen Minton

Not only did Kevin King QUICKLY sell my house, he also made the experience relatively painless! Kevin was extremely helpful in providing names of individuals to assist with repairs and offered invaluable guidance as I was deciding how to proceed. All staff I encountered at King Reality was friendly, knowledgeable, quick to respond and 100% professional!

Do not rent from them at least not from the Orchard st rentals. the landlord is rude. she constantly hounded me for my 30 day notice which I still had a whole month to turn in to her. I even called the main office and they told I had a whole month and she was sending me text every day saying she needed it no later than the day that she sent the text. I had four little holes in the wall where I hung my tv and 4 holes on each window where I hung my curtains. I filled all the holes before I moved out and I vacuumed, dusted, swept and mopped every inch of that place when I moved out, I even scrubbed the shower and out of a $650 deposit I got a $12 check back after moving out. the landlord at this location is horrible.

Rachel Putman

Kevin got us into our first home in no time flat. He showed us every house we even suspected we might like and showed us our finalists three times each! Throughout the process Kevin fought for us to have everything repaired down to a fleck of peeling paint. He was relentless in getting us the best deal and the best house and found a house my husband and I both loved and in our price-range in just a few weeks. Kevin went absolutely above and beyond to ensure our experience was calm, smooth and fast!

I live in Cambridge Park Apartments. I received a notice last week that they are raising my rent by over 10% in the next month, which is the second rent increase that has happened during my tenancy. The apartments are in a great location, but they have no amenities other than a tiny gym and are only about 800 square feet for a 2 bedroom. Also, the carpet, tile, counters, etc. are the cheapest kind possible. For the price, it's no longer worth it to live there. I'm moving a mile away and getting 400 additional square feet in a townhome for only 100.00 more. Beware renters, this company WILL raise your rent and it will not be in small increments. On a positive note, they keep the grounds very nice and it is a safe, quiet complex with very nice neighbors. For the most part, they get to maintenance requests quickly and have a very nice maintenance man working for them. This company also stole my deposit from me. I had pics and videos though, so they ended up having to give part of it back. Shady people. Avoid if you can.

These guys are the best in town for finding or selling your home!

Realtor Lisa Elmore helped my husband and I get into our very first home. She was VERY helpful and made the whole process stress free and a breeze. She took care of everything, had an answer to all of our many questions, and was always quick to respond any time we needed her. She goes above and beyond! I definitely recommend her 100%!!

Excellent experience!! Chris Erstine helped our family to purchase our first home. Throughout our whole experience, he was easy to get in touch with and handled everything very professionally. He did a fantastic job finding the perfect home for us.

Erin Lee

They pay my Janitorial Company more money to clean apartments and town homes . They are proffesional at what they do. I left Lindsey Management to contract with them, so I could proffit more for my company. Lindsey is the worst company ever to work AND do business with.

Sarah Horne

My husband and I purchased our first home yesterday and I can not rave more about my experience with Amber Coleman of Weichert Realtors - The Griffin Company. She has been a saving grace in what could have been an extremely stressful time for us. She is responsive, informative, professional and extremely considerate of a buyer's needs and wants. She made the home buying process so enjoyable and I'd recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Amber, for all of your hard work and dedication. You're a peach and we couldn't be happier!

Apparently in order to be a Realtor in Arkansas , you need a pulse...these folks are far from qualified.

Alta Smith

It was a pleasure to work with Lisa Elmore. She was very professional, kept us well informed, and she was very available throughout the entire process. I can't thank her enough. We would highly recommend her to any friend or family member.

Tiffany Woolbright

Lisa Elmore is a fantastic Realtor! Within the first week of listing our home to sell, she had several lined up for showings and had it sold in less than 2 months! I could not have asked for a better experience. She took very good care of us and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
