Home deal gone sour reflects tough market

“For months, Ellis Herman, an 81-year-old World War II veteran, has fought a losing battle against Long Realty Co.”
“a house they later learned had bathroom drains that didn't work, a heater that blew cold air and a stove declared unsafe by the gas company.”
“Long agent Treece said her husband — also a Long agent — showed Herman through the house at least once during the inspection period.”
“The house had attracted an offer from one other prospective buyer, Katherine Maas, who said she had trouble finding financing because lenders thought the house was overpriced.”
“Herman signed a purchase contract on Jan. 23, 2007. About two weeks later, the deal closed.”
“Loan officer Neal has left the state, according to former work associates.”
“Hagyard, the previous owner, declined to comment.”
“King, the designated broker, said Treece did her part to help Herman by having Hagyard pay $2,700 in closing costs for Herman along with a premium for a home warranty plan.”
“See a video of Ellis Herman and his daughter describing the problems they ran into after moving into their now-foreclosed house.” http://videos.azstarnet.com/p/video?id=1747037

1. Vicki Entrekin Long Agent- March 3, 1008 and I quote,
"My personal thoughts – they are gypsies that thought they had made on this."
2. Anna Stark-July 23,2008, and I quote,
“I have taken the liberty of contacting the Publisher/Editor of the Arizona Daily Star in order to have this entire thread of comments for this article removed.” In the interest of fairness to my former FMFC friends and colleagues.”
3. Joe Neal- March 5,2008, and I quote,
“For the record, by law, the Good Faith Estimate and Truth-in-Lending documents are required to be MAILED within 3 days of application…they were.”
4. Joe Neal-March 5,2008, and I quote,
“If I spend anymore time on this, I’m going be out of a job and unable to make MY mortgage payments.” “I’ll only have MYSELF to blame.”
5. Robert Hayes-March 7,2008, and I quote,
“His daughter was with him in the transaction the whole time. So tell me, how did the agents prey upon the elderly?”
It appears that Long Realty Company, and their now bankrupt partner First Magnus, now called StoneWater, do not want the public viewing these comments.
In fact the Arizona Daily Star removed all 209 comments from the article {Home deal gone sour.} Why?
My dad’s house in Fair Oaks, California
Jerome King the Designated Broker stated in this article, and I quote “Treece simply tried to help Herman and his family, who were living in a camper when they approached her looking for a house.”
What Jerome King failed to mention is why we were living in a camper!
Pam Treece has been spreading rumors around Tucson that we are gypsies.
Mrs. Paschal told us one day while we were peacefully protesting in Oro Valley, that she and her husband just purchased a house through Pam Treece. Mrs. Paschal was very angry with Pam, and Bob treece over their purchase transaction.
She also said that Pam Treece told them while she was showing them houses, that we were gypsies.
Long agent Vicki Entrekin posted comment # 98 in the Arizona Daily Star article: Home deal gone sour, and I quote “My personal thoughts - they are gypsies”
My father wanted to move back to Tucson because he was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB back in the1950’s and had fond memories of Tucson. My father asked my daughter and I if we would like to join him in the move to Tucson. Aubree and I wanted to make Tucson our home as well. Between all three of us we have 3 dogs and six cats, so we decided to buy a camper to make the move to Tucson, in that way we would have a place to stay while looking for a house to purchase.
I came upon Pam Treece’s website while looking for a Real Estate Company on the internet. On January 21, 2007 while driving down 22nd Street we saw a house with a for sale sign, and my father called the number on the sign, the Real Estate Agent said that some people were coming to look at the house. My father called the number that I had taken off of the internet, and asked Pam Treece about that house we were looking at. She was quick to tell him that, this particular house was under contract. Pam Treece said, however there was another house that was available, and vacant on 328 W. 38th Street, she told my father that there were not many houses for sale at the present time.
My father made his first appointment with Pam Treece the following day, which was January 22, 2007 at 3:00 pm at her Oro Valley office. We saw Pam Treece a total of 4 times during this whole transaction. The 2nd time was February 1, 2007 about 5:00 during the walk through. The 3rd time was February 5, 2007 at 3:00 pm to sign the closing documents at COE with Pam Woods. The 4th time was February 6, 2007 around 5:30 pm to give my father the keys to the house.
On February 14, 2007 when my father called Pam Treece again concerning the plumbing, and heating problems, she was extremely rude to him, and said she was to busy to deal with him. That was the last conversation he had with her to this day.
This is where we all live, including our animals. Even though our trailer is quite small, all the appliances work great. The stove and oven are vented. Our bathroom is awesome, we have a bathtub/shower and a sink that really works. Even the heater and cooler work. We are extremely grateful we have a place to live.
Here is my dad peacefully protesting Long Realty Company.
