Avoid DJ Thielen/Empire Real Estate Builders

[Mackenzie Lopez]

Hey everyone I wanted to warn you all of a predator & scammer who does all sorts of back end shady deala in multiple areas of real estate.

His name is DJ Thielen and he always manages to scam everyone out of money. Whether is taking his "course", paying for the self written articles about his success or aka writing "puff pieces", buying fake Instagram followers, sitting on FB marketplace trying to get someone to pay for a house they don't know is condemnable and pay to have DJ remodel it and DJ never completing the remodel,  him spending an enormous time defending himself in small claims court, and threatening charges on  people that don't know law so they pay what he wants.

All of those examples came from either my observation, experience, or other peoples reviews of him.

The guy rented me a condemnable property. He got the owners Lucy and Charles Petri of Omega Realty to buy this house without ever seeing it in person and they still havent seen it to this day. DJ took a large amount to remodel yet he did about $2,000 worth of work. The house photos frim before dj got his hands on it show what was done, and what wasnt done. He put in a hot water heater, painted the upstairs walls white, put black shutters on the house, painted the deck grey, and painted the front door red. They maybe did some other cosmetic stuff but not the $20k-$40k he claims he did.

Then when I saw they were putting thr house up for rent again without making any repairs I told them I'd be leaving reviews about that house. He offered me $2k to remove them amd never talk about him ahain but wanted me to sign such a messed up contract. He wanted me to sign a Confessions of Judgement which basically means DJ can claim I talked about him and charge me half a million each time. In that contract DJ would be the judge, jury, and executioner and I wouldn't be able to legally contest it. I walked away from that deal tonight.  He kept threatening me with extortion, libel, and slander charges.

he just wanted me to pay his $700k in taxes deliquencies iback with violations of the contract I never committed. 

And omg this dude is so obsessed with himself he gets fake tans, writes articles about himself,  AND MAKES GIPHS OF HIMSELF LOL.
