Hi everyone,
I thought I should let people know about my experience with Joseph Souza. I gave an offer to an apartment in Jackson Heights for which he was the seller's agent. The seller accepted the offer and, once that happen, he took the longest time to give us the contract -- which meant he could still show the apartment around. After over 2 weeks of him disappearing and coming up with excuses, he told my agent that he would give me all the documentation in 3 days. 2 days later, he calls saying that he sold the apartment to somebody else, contract signed and everything. I had no opportunity to give a counter-offer, no forewarning, nothing.
Unfortunately, as there was no contract signed, there is nothing I can do to fix my situation -- I'm back to where I started with looking for apartments, since he was holding me up for a month, as is my real estate agent who is obviously not getting any compensation for all her work. But I think it's important for other real estate agents out there to know that this guy might do this to them.
In the meantime, if anybody is selling a one-bedroom apartment in good shape, with a nice view, on which the board allows subletting, and is near the Roosevelt ave station, I am game.
Regards,
