Jonathan & Melissa Edmiston

DO NOT USE THIS REALTOR IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY SELL YOUR HOME. I would strongly NOT recommend Johnathan Edmiston for your realtor of choice. After a week of our house on the market, we had to send him pictures to put up of the inside of our house because he didn't/wouldn't take them himself. He originally took some outside pictures and promised to take some updated pictures after we finished renovating the outside. He never came back. And it took him two days to respond to my husband after he asked him to take more pictures. The house description was...just sad... After reading the description he put up, which was only three short sentences long, I wouldn't even want to buy my own house. After a month of no real marketing or action from Johnathan, we wanted out of the contract so that we could try a realtor that we had had success with before. Johnathan then spent three days ignoring our requests to get out of the contract and blaming the pricing of the house for the reason why it didn't sell well. We continued to request that he terminate the contract, stating that his inactions were the reason. Because he knew that we were going to someone else, he then refused to let us out of our contract unless we paid him a fee. Supposedly, for all the hard work he'd done. Mind you, an early termination fee was not stated in the initial contract. My husband paid the fee and I wrote him a bad review. He then demanded, although the fee was paid, that i remove the bad reviews and write him an apology letter before he would release the contract. Basically keeping our contract hostage. I don't like bullies and I don't like being rougehoused into a situation that I don't want to stay in. All while this is going on, he is still blaming the pricing of the house for it not selling and continuing to tell us that he will sell the house as if we aren't telling him we want out. It was weird... finally I wrote him a not so nice email telling him that, with no other reviews and bearly any home sells he should just stop now and let us out of the contract before his reputation is tarnished further. He threatened to call his attorney on me, I'm assuming for slander, even though everything i said was and is true. I thought about writing a complaint with the BBB even though he isn't registered with them, but instead, I removed my comments and apologized just to have him out of our lives quickly. We just moved across country and we just want someone competent to sell our house. I don't believe that Johnathan Edmiston's actions throughout this whole process have been ethical and I would stay as far away as possible from this agent if I were you. He definitely doesn't care about putting in the work to sell your house at top dollar. And if you try to leave, he will trap you in the contract until you fullfill items not listed on the original contract. It really isn't worth your time or effort. DON'T DO IT.
