I had Roger G. from Berkshire Hathaway in Auburn list an apartment building for me. The City of Lewiston gave me a letter of repairs that needed to be fixed. I fixed some of them and decided to sell the property for $40,000 under market value to allow the next owner to fix the repairs. I knew this would be an easy sell even if I listed it on my own, but I am not familiar with the paperwork involved in selling a preprty so I decided to list it through an agent. I got charged 10% premium which is extremely high, but I agreed to it and that is not my complaint. The city of Lewiston gave me the letter and it stated that I had to let the new buyer know all the repairs and had a list of instruction. I gave the letter to Roger the agent, and the agency. The instructions were never followed on certain disclosures that needed to be told to the new buyer. I asked several times if it was all set and I was told “yes, this is why you hired me” After I sold the property I got served with a lawsuit from the city for $25,000 for failing to file a single piece of paper. Fortunately I fought this in court and proved that I have told the new buyer of the problems on my own via text message and email. Unfortunately this still cost me almost $1,000 in a court ordered fine. I reached out to the owner of Berkshire Hathaway in his office in Bangor. He asked me to forward all the documents, and I did. He almost immediately sent me a certified letter stating they would not cover the fine of $1000 which was their mistake, since they are the trained professionals that I paid to make sure all the paperwork was in order. This is why they have a license, to ensure buyers and sellers come together legally on both side. I now have to take Berkshire Hathaway to court which I am in the process of doing. I paid them almost $10,000 in a sellers commission which they did not split with another agency. I chose to under price my property to allow for a quick smooth transaction and had an offer within 2 weeks. This was quick easy money for them, and all they had to do was make sure the paperwork was done correctly. I recommend if you use this agency that you pay a lawyer to go over all the paperwork. This is something you should not have to do when going through a listing agent for a basic real estate transaction with no real hoops to jump through. I strongly do not recommend Berkshire Hathaway for real estate services.

I found a MLS listing in Searsport, and the lisitng says the name of your agency, but not the name of the listing agent. So I went to your web site, and it says that you're closed today, which leads me to believe that your'e not too aggressive in selling your listings. Why would you be closed on the only two days that working people, looking for a home to buy would be off work to view the home? Why also would you not put the name of the listing agent on the MLS listing and the agen't phone number?
