Thanks for the info Adam.

Just curious… If you see an opening bid posted, is it more likely to go to sale (vs being canceled) than one that does not have a published opening bid? My thinking, which could be entirely bogus, is that if they’ve done the leg work to determine and publish an opening bid, they’re less likely to cancel/postpone because they’ve put some more legwork in.

I see a ton that are postponed – and never had an opening bid published… I have yet to see an opening bid published and have it cancelled… (That I remember.) I’ve only been actively watching the trustee sales for a few weeks, though.

Your views clearly didn’t influence the buyer that bought and is now trying to flip this place:

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100002302-6467_Avenida_Manana_La_Jolla_CA_92037

Should be interesting to see how this turns out…[/quote]

I agree it will be interesting. It’s interesting that this one is listed in the same range it was originally… But comparing the old listing to the new, they did a LOT of updating… all new kitchen, redid the dated mid-century brick fireplace in what is now the dining room, lots of work on the landscape… unfortunately too much hardscape for my taste…

Here’s the link to the original sale listing

Don’t know about auction houses – but court house steps is all cash on the spot.

I would highly recommend that everyone do what I did… FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB of San Diego. If he gets enough complaints he will lose his BBB accreditation, and that is the slap in the face that this guy deserves.
[/quote]

Don’t expect much from the BBB. BBB is paid by the businesses, not the consumers… so they give the businesses a chance to justify/rationalize why the complaints are invalid… If the business has a good schtick – BBB will not post the complaint. Why would they – that would hurt revenue. File the complaint, but don’t be optimistic.

That said – realtors and brokers are licensed by the state and have to follow various business practices… If you put in a complaint there – it will also probably be ignored… unless you have proof and are a squeaky wheel… Some underfunded overworked beaurocrat has to investigate.

But keep in mind – they’ll only investigate if a RE law/code was violated.

If you just want to spread his bad reputation – considering filing a report like this…
