Beware of this WI real estate agency

[Eric Black]

Anyone doing business in the Milwaukee area, please beware of ALM Realty. 

We were in contract on a property and had submitted our earnest money deposit. We decided to cancel the contract prior to the contingency period expiring for a number of reasons, primarily that we had not received the rent/lease documentation from the seller within the allowed period of time. 

The seller was upset that we cancelled the inspection and contract and is now refusing to return our EMD. Our agent had been unsuccessful in getting the seller to cooperate so I contacted the agency directly and they have been extremely rude and are questioning why I should get the deposit back.

I would recommend looking elsewhere if you're considering using this agency.
