My son settled on a home and "Dr. Walter Bowman" was the seller's agent. This is my son's first home but because he loved the outlay of this house I supported his wishes. The property was painted as if a bunch of five year olds did the work. The loft bannister was lose and the crown molding did not match as it met in the corner of the wall, the outlets did not work in the kitchen, and rotten wood was found up around the roof area. Further someone purchased a door, cut it in half to make a small door for the crawl space under the steps. All my son saw was the set up and wanted to continue with the deal. Now he gets to closing and the keys to his now new home was not there. We had to retrieve the keys from the lock box. Then we realized its the ONLY key to the main door. He has no storm door key. He has no mailbox key and he did not know which parking space was his.
Ms. Colbert, my son's agent tried contacting Dr. Bowman and he merely forwarded an email from the woman who once owned the home who is now residing in Carolina,
" Parking space: 77 It is directly in front of the townhome and second from the end. The mailbox number should be on the key but Octavia will be better able to answer this question for it's been a while since I lived there. FYI, I just reached out to her as well requesting that she contacts you regarding this matter."
First, who is Octavia? Well I assume she was the renter. How is this my son's problem? Those keys should have been at the settlement table. It's bad that he has to make all these repairs but know he has to chase down keys that should have been at that table. Mr. Bowman displays the most unprofessional demeanor I've ever witnessed. He will not return the call my son's agent regarding this matter and I am simply disgusted by his actions.
