Apparently there was a post on social media recently advertising for a fundraiser for the Manteno Veteran's Home. The post indicated items of need and interest along with instructions to drop the items off at the Bradley Office. Being a Veteran myself, we thought this was a great idea and a way to give back. We purchased many items and planned to bring them to the office on Saturday 9/21 as Google indicated the office would be open. However, upon arrival the office was NOT open. There was a vehicle in the parking lot, but no one came to the door when we knocked. A while later there was additional posts that items were no longer needed and the Vet's Home was overwhelmed with donations. While that is great, the least this office could do is update the post before others go out and think this in an active drive. Also, they need to post hours of operation and ensure Google is updated. We were very disappointed in the lack of follow through this business showed. We would not use them for buying or selling a home.

If you’re looking to sell your home in the Kankakee area, I would to steer clear of Michele Nelson, Real Estate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty.

She puts on a really great charismatic show to get you to sign a contract with her… she assured us that we would have no problem selling our home quickly which worked out perfectly as we had to move out of state for my job, and also encouraged us to list our house $10,000 above what we knew it was worth only to contradict herself three weeks later.

She expected us to do all the leg work- passing out and posting flyers in the community, and making social media posts to get the word out about our listing. We rarely heard from her with updates on what was happening between just our listing in general and showings.

And what I’m most enraged about is her lies. I had to find out on Zillow that our home was no longer listed on the market and when I reached out to her she said she contacted both my husband and I about the expiring contract but we never responded. She claims she texted and emailed…which is funny because neither of us received anything from her but I do have proof of an exchange from her the day our contract expired pertaining to a showing- nothing related to our home being off market.

As a first time home seller, she has made this experience absolutely awful. I would not recommend her to my worst enemy.

We used Diane Brannock as our realtor from here and she did AMAZING. We were under a time crunch and she addressed the situation with urgency and care! She got the job done and I would HIGHLY recommend working with her!! Thanks again for all that you did, Diane!! Will be recommending you to others, friends, and family!

Their agent Bud Caruso lies about everything. They lied and misrepresented a building (480 Greenbriar, in Crete, Il) and its a dangerous fire hazard. Aluminum wiring.

The WRONG branch switches. They don't match the breaker box. HUGE no-no.

Licensed electrician (Lamar Alexander, in Crete, who told me 7 THOUSAND to fix it and update it to be safe!!)

They STOLE everything in listing photos. Every. Last. Thing. Furnace is broke. Humidifier. Broken. None of the windows works. Stole all cabinet pulls and replaced w very cheap junk. All lights. All drape rods. All custom drapes. All the slats for the blinds, gone. Bathroom sink leaks into cabinet (you don't SEAL that up). No showers work.

I have a part of a 1.5 million dollar building in Lincoln Park, Chicago (live somewhere 70 years, and that happens). When it's listed, I'll make absolutely sure these scam artists DON'T GET the sale.

I never forget, and don't forget, mad customers will go tell EVERYONE how your company ruined their lives. At least 10 people will hear.

I've got well over a million views on my Google photos. So enjoy...

I'd give it to Drussy Hernandez from CB in Lincoln Park (Clyburn and Kenmore) the day she leaves this brokerage, tho...

Now they're trying to steal my EM, too!! Weeks later, I STILL don't have my money back to MOVE on from this horrible nightmare! I'd rather sleep in my car than EVER deal with this company again.

The wall, ruined. Sun bleached, I was fine with! Don't touch it! Cheap cabinet pulls after the ones I saw were all stolen. 68 of them!

Ugly door levers. These had original starbust door plates. They cost 550.00 EACH on Chairish.

Pool table cost money to move. Lol, so it's still there, along with mouse poo in the drawers and on bar shelves. Nasty.

Should also mention, ANOTHER agent told me about this SAME situation with this company; where they're basically trying to misappropriate EM and make it WEEKS before victims to liars and scsm artists get their money back!!

Acting as a co-executor for the family estsate Coldwell Banker was able sell the house fairly quickly.
However, the agent, Lee, we used started out very friendly and informative. As things got closer to closing he became very impatient and communication was difficult/lacking. He was fairly insistent that we use "his guy" for last minute issues, I prefer to know who is doing what and for what price before I approve them. When I brought this to his attention he was very defensive and insisted he was doing his job as well as the attorney's job. I explained, if that were true why didn't he make me aware of the issue. He said he was too busy with other listings. We all have lists of professionals we would recommend and those to avoid. Lee would be one to avoid in my opinion.
At closing the staff at Caldwell Banker and the trust company were able to handle minor issues and got the job done.

Sarah Powers is an amazing agent. I’m buying my first home and she has been with me every step of the way. She’s always on time for showings and knowledgeable about the process. Thanks Sarah👋🏽

Berry McCracken and his team at Coldwell Banker Reality are top notch. We are clients from out of town and needed to sell our fathers home after he passed away. Berry came highly recommended by local friends and family. So we set up the initial meeting and we were very pleased.

Berry came to the rescue and quickly handled "the business at hand" very quickly and professionally. This allowed us to focus on more important things. We had several offers within weeks and closed soon after.

Berry was extremely easy to work with and was always available. If you looking for a good realtor look no further. Berry McCracken is your guy!

Plus he has the best real estate slogan there is "Start Packin' Call McCracken"!
