I'm hoping this will find it's way into a REALTOR in Indiana's inbox...
I recently contracted with a REALTOR that owns his own brokerage in Indianapolis, Indiana to have my website designed. I was refered to this person (who I hate to use the term "REALTOR" with because they do not exemplify any of our ethics in my opinion) by two other agents in my office, one had just recently started working with them and the other had their website designed by this person 2 years ago and has been working with him since then. I contacted him and set up phone appointments with them to discuss the options and design of my website. All went well and the conversations occured just as they should...over the course of the conversations I found out that "he" had been around real esate all of his life, as his mom was a real estate agent and his first web design client. I also found out he was now a Broker/Agent and owned his own firm along with his web firm - C E Productions - and several other companies. I did conduct internet research on him and liked what I saw for his web designs, I liked his lead capture program, and then spoke with the two agents in my office that had worked with him and found that they were very happy with his services as well. I paid for my web design, and began to wait. I was told I would have my design by the 15th of December. Needless to say I did not recieve a proof of my design and had some difficulty contacting the designer. Once I finally spoke with him I was told I would have my site proof by the 1st of the year. That has now come and gone and again not word from the designer. I have found 3 or 4 different numbers to contact him on, all of which go to the same voice recording, on which I have left several messages (not to mention a number of un answered e-mails). At times I will call and get the recording only to find out the voice mailbox is full and I can not leave a message, the next day I will be able to leave a message and do, and then by the next day it is full and then empty again.
I have checked with the other two ladies in my office that have been working with him and they are in the same boat. One has also paid for a site and gotten nothing, the other has her site (for over 2 years) and pays a monthly hosting fee and needs a few typos changed on her site and cannot get a response for that.
My lawyer has not contacted him with a refund or provide service letter with no response.
So if anyone in Indiana, or more specifically Indianapolis comes across this and wants to lend a fellow REALTOR a hand, please contact me.
Thanks!
