If a 0 could be given.... what has occurred with us has been beyond words, beyond comprehension and all I can say is steer very clear. CJ Realty has taken a $1,400.00 deposit on a house that has previous tenant or owner utility bills overdue, they didn't know who the utilities were through, they never gave us any documentation upon making a deposit, then tell us we need to have utilities turned on in or name BEFORE the day we sign the lease and do the walk thru. We tried to do so but we're told we could not because of previous bad standing accounts. We notified them and specifically Wendy and Krystal Long (who by the way you see have 5 star review on her own company, so if they have people from the company giving reviews to bump their ratings then you know it's bad). They gave us the runaround again telling us that it isn't due to that it is probably due to us. We have great credit, we have nothing in collections, we are 100% on time with our bills and she thinks that because we are renting we are a stereotype--well we are renting to give us more time to find a house to buy after recently relocating to Missouri from Ohio. I tell them we need a lease to show utility company and I work 3 days a week and explain that I don't have many days off during the week until the date of move in to have off to go to the water, Light company to get utilities on. She told me she wasn't going to get a lease in that amount of time and if we didn't have utilities at time of signing we couldn't take possession of property, mind you THIS is their debt, their screw up. No water on in the house during 20 degree temps and lower double digits. Yeah pipes will be an issue. After dealing with her on this for almost a solid week, no progress has been made and Wendy Felten is verbally aggressive and unprofessional her response to all this was "I don't know MAN". Well then it's not our problem. I said we will need our deposit back and we will not be moving into property next week. She said she will not give our deposit back. Of course we aren't a family that are unable to do anything about it FORTUNATELY because God blesses us to be able to do so, we have an attorney that is working on this case and several other people that have strong connections within Real Estate. It's a shame that these type of people exist and all we can do is pray for them. I would not use this company. Who knows the owner may be an awesome guy! But the agent we dealt with and office staff are absolutely terrible. Good thing we were able to back out when we could. Jesus will protect!
