Mike Rangel agent

1

June 14 viewed a home i liked in boulevard cal i was told there was a full price offer by agent Mike Rangel and If i used him as my agent he would gaurantee acceptance by seller even though he had a full price offer on the table. My offer was 30 thousand less than asking price yet it was accepted and Mr. Rangel worked as dual agent. He said i did not need any well certifications and or home inspectios as he had them already done. I believed Mr. Rangel. Mr. Rangel refused to allow me to do a final walk through as he said it was against century 21 policy. Upon close of escrow i recieved keys and moved in only to find no interior doors, cabinettes and cabinette doors falling off, no underlayment of felt paper on roofing, house siding leaks, subflooring wood rot, electrical wiring is dangerous and done incorrectly, roof leaks, plumming backs up every 4 to 6 weeks and so many more problems, and 2 weeks after close of escrow and running out of water i learned my well is dry!! Neighbors have written declarations that previous owners including my seller George Hatch knew of dry well. But none of these problems were ever disclosed the only disclosure was that there are coyotes!! . Upon calling Mr. Rangel he suggested i call one of HIS insurance people who could back date my policy then he wanted me to LIE and claim well just went dry, but thats FRAUD so i refused. I have sent a demand letter to Broker Valarie Swanson, who in turn has sent me a response letter stateing that they refuse to correct any issues related to my home because i had a real estate license 15 yrs ago which is true but i did not do more than 3 transactions because I DID NOT LIKE REAL ESTATE!! And have not practiced for 15+yrs. Mr. Rangel of coarse has a totally different story! Of coarse he denies that he and George Hatch lied to me (Rangel has done 3 transactions with Hatch so they are friends). This is a very serious warning for buyers and sellers alike. Mike Rangel is a dishonest real estate agent. I have borrowed money to repair and get some small measure of water including trucking in water to my home and i cannot now afford an attorney although i know God is good and will provide for me. My only recoarse now is to let everyone know what has happend here. I do plan to put a complaint in with the BRE against Mike Rangel and to call media and post this on as many social media sites for real estate agents. I want to alert the public in as many ways as i can. BEWARE BUYERS!! DO NOT TRUST MIKE RANGEL!
