James, yes I missed it in your screen shot.  My realtor missed it in your message to her. I reached out to her about it and she sent me the screen shot, which It is indeed attached but blends into your signature on mobile.  I’m sure she isn’t the only one who had missed it as most realtors are operating via phones in the field.  It was a mistake and I wish I would have know or had that information.   She attempted to call and was met with what ultimately prompted this post.  

I am moving on.  We all have learned something here, and that is the entire point of bigger pockets as a whole.   Have a good day. 

Every single issue presented in this thread would have been solved by a quick call. 

I stated his company offered poor communication and I stand by that.

The realtor who brought me this opportunity was told she would receive a paltry $1,000 commission.  Not exactly what a realtor wants for their time and efforts but what ever, we have and continue to do deals together.  When you realize the commission is 1k and you have to jump through the Holton Wise offer submission process, you receive little information and are met with a rude receptionist whom seems offended that you are following up on a presented offer the whole process seemed unprofessional.

For every person who has jumped in this thread to defend James position and to say we were not owed anything more then just offer a email stating offer declined I get it.   Our frustration was with the overall poor communication offered by him or his office.  

For every person who jumped in 20 more will have read this thread, never commented and will make their own judgment on doing business with Holton Wise.   A company who engages in childish behavior posting teddy bear memes and making jokes in reference to my last name being Fausett.  How he as the CEO is quick to post confidential and private banking information with names intact on the internet referencing the amount of cash on deposit.   Those people will never say a word hear, nor will they ever engage in business with Holton Wise. 

All of that because someone voiced their frustration with their communication skills.  

He falsely stated I provided pof without my name and solely in the name of someone else. That was incorrect however given hos oversight could have been clarified in a call.

My realtor missed the previous inspection report,  this could have been clarified with a quick call it was indeed attached. 


I stand by my post.  After my first experience with Holton Wise it will likely be my last, at first due to the poor communication but now to the incredible display of unprofessional attacks and sharing of private information.

Everyone who reads this, is entitled to their own opinion as wether or not they wish to conduct business this way.

I am uncomfortable buying a non foreclosure property sight unseen.

The property is beautiful in the video however it currently has a tenant in it which runs a dog training center. They have a large and aggressive pitbull in the back yard which had trashed and muddied the back door.

Requesting to see the condition of the unit at the time of sale did not seem to far fetched. Clearly you are more comfortable then I am buying sight unseen.

There is a lot to this story, I get James is upset I voiced my frustration with his companies communication skills. I wish he had a fraction of the time he spent here to talk with my agent, we may have not came to terms on that property but he has several others that potentially could have worked out for my current needs.

Point is, the refuse to speak with the agent and the communication experience was frustrating.

@Jay Hinrichs

I am not a wholesaler, this whole post has gotten out of context and was voicing my frustration with their poor communication and refusal to speak with my agent on the phone. How many wholesalers do you know that have agents representing them.

The property in question is a 3 unit residentially zoned property.

We were unable to make a deal. They offered poor communication and I have since moved on seeing other properties. I have learned nothing more then I do not wish to conduct business with an organization that makes it tough. They refused to talk to my agent when she called for clarification, the inspection report was missed by my agent and I hate that. In her defense I see how it could happen when looking from a mobile phone it gets blended into his email signature.

Me. Wise missed on the proof of liquidity that my name along with my capital partner were both on the document.

Poor communication was the title of this thread and continues to prove that simply allowing a phone conversation with the agent representing my offer could have corrected much of this.

Moving on, I am actively seeking to add 1 or 2 more duplex - quads to my portfolio. I have a prefer side by sides

Wait, so asking to see the rest of the property however acknowledging we will waive asking for any concessions to said property after reviewing is still a contingency that you are not willing to accept?  Who the hell buys sight unseen?   What are you hiding?   No thanks.

Again, this thread was about disappointment with the level of communication between your office and my realtor / me.   Clearly you only have time for Internet forums.   

Muddy your good name?  What in you communication was good?  Your receptionist was rude, like she was offended we followed up.  Then when we did receive a response, it left a bit to be desired when someone is trying to work with you to come to a deal.   

Let it go, way to defensive here.  You have provided a lot of helpful information here on this forum, I appreciate the info and time you have spent here.  As for trying to buy a property from you, it left a lot to be desired in way of communicating with your firm.  End of story.  Take customer feedback and do what you will.  I am moving on.  I had no intention of deceiving anyone, I have relationships in place to make things in my own RE journey happen.  You missed the part that included my name, I get it, seems fishy from your prospective.  I’m not muddying the water here, I had hoped for a better level of communication from you.  Unfortunately I didn’t realize you only have time  to communicate on forums vs directly with customers looking to do business with your firm. 

I agree Michael, we were merely trying to get a deal done.    As initial stated, between the office and their response it left little room for communication.   Oh well, everyone have a great weekend.

We provided you a as is purchase offer, with proof of funds.  And again, you keep stating the inspection attachment was included but it was not.

Don’t hold your breath on that...  good on you for redacting the document however.   I guess you seen my name was also provided now.  

You should not have posted a financial document with names involved, poor business decision. I’m sure your own personal legal team would agree.  

Moving on, you are not the type of business person I want to engage with,  we won’t be crossing paths again.  Your desire to post confidential private banking information is irresponsible, especially in retailiation of someone voicing their displeasure with your company communication skills.   Anyone who reads this thread in the future will surely feel they are in good hands with info they provide since you were so quick to place it on the Internet over a bad review.  Not to mention your point was to say I used someone else account info as proof of funds when both parties who would have been engaged in the purchase's name were clearly on the document that was drafted specifically for the purchase of this property.

No hard feelings here.  I’m all the wiser as what to expect from your firm after this engagement.

@James Wise

I believe you sir have a legal obligation to protect private and personal information which you have freely posted to an Internet forum.   Yet I’m the amateur.  You need to remove that information Now.
