In summary Joy Montrief was only ever interested in looking out for herself, at the expense of a inexperienced young couple. I have nothing good to say about my experience with Joy Montrief and in connection Hometown Realty.

We decided that this house was not for us so we emailed Joy Montrief and stated this. Her advice was to not tell the seller we were not interested and to wait for the negotiating period to expire because they probably would not agree to the addendum. She also said that we may not get our 1000$ initial deposit back if they agreed to the repairs.

At this point my wife and I studied the contract. And there it was plain as day we could just notify the seller we did not want to buy and we would get our money back.

Joy Montrief was our realtor. My wife and I are first time home buyers so we placed a lot of trust in Joy Montrief. Our trust was misplaced. She pushed is into a contact while offering little to no counseling on the state of the house what we should look for or how much we should offer. Most importantly she failed to mention that three years prior the house had sold for $71,000, the asking price was $130,000 and that is what we offered. On the surface the house looked fine.

Then came the inspection report. Mold lots of it in the crawl space and in the attic. Rotted and cracked floor supports loose shingles bad plumbing and bad electrical. The very definition of a lemon house, and she kept pushing us to buy. So we made an addendum that stated the seller must repair all deficiencies. This was before we knew the house had sold for $71,000. As soon as we found this out on our own I might add. We wanted out.
