Today I called the sales office for the Vue. I identified myself and was quickly transferred to the sales manager. I started to ask questions and she refused to answer them. She was quite rude and with a raised voice said, "We KNOW who you are!" Gosh, the power of a little blog.
She insisted that 80% of the units were sold and that they were closing in October. I asked how many units were still available and it was, "80% sold! 80 sold!" like a robot. I find that odd since the ads have claimed 80% have been sold for over a year.
She questioned my motivation for wanting information and refused to give me any information. At one point she asked if I'd like to come down and look at their sales record and my reply was, "if that is an invitation, then yes." She then told me it was none of my business and I would not be allowed to view any records.
I informed her that I get hundreds of emails and phone calls looking for information and that my goal was to share information with Vue Buyers. I have no interest in trying to sway people from buying or not buying anywhere. I do think people have the right to know the true benefits and risks and I encourage anyone who is interested in buying to bring outside representation to protect their interests.
If Buyers get the same sort of secretive rude response, it's no wonder they are looking wherever they can for information.
If the Vue is interested in continuing to find Buyers, they might look for a new sales manager first and then offer incentives like Center Street lofts is offering of 4% 30 year fixed financing. Now that is a deal.
I am totally supportive of development in down town San Pedro, however just building residential units won't do it. There has to be more business that support the people who want to live there, a grocery store, clothing stores, more restaurants. One can not exist without the other.
Papadakis is now for sale, Catwalk shoes lasted less than a year and I just don't see new buisness coming to downtown San Pedro that is thriving, (well maybe Nosh that is a terrific little place.)
I think it's hilarious that the sales manager at the VUE thinks I have any input over her sales or lack of, and as always she should learn it's always better to treat people with respect and offer true information in any sort of sales if one expects to be successful.
