Fishtown Richmond Realty

1.0

By Anonymous

I am incredibly disappointed with my recent experience at Fishtown Richmond Realty, specifically, Bruce. I inquired about a property listed on their site and was emailing back and forth with Debbie, who seemed very accommodating and promptly responded back to me. Unfortunately, I had to reschedule my showing for a later time so I ended up booking a 5:45pm showing with Bruce instead of Debbie. I was driving to Fishtown from out of state and my roommate was driving from over an hour away to see the property but we both ended up getting caught in rush hour traffic and bad weather. Before I even had a chance to pull over to give Bruce a courtesy call, he called me to see where I was; It was 5:35 and my appointment was at 5:45. I informed Bruce I was rushing to get there but was stuck in bad traffic and would be between 5-10 minutes late, Bruce sighed and gave me the impression I was wasting his time but agreed to wait for my roommate and I. Bruce then called me back at 5:37 to tell me that I should take a different route to his office, I thanked him for the tip and re-confirmed that he would be okay waiting for us. Bruce then calls me back a third time at 5:39 and tells me that he "had to be in the suburbs" and decided he was not going to wait for us. Naturally, I became a little upset as he twice confirmed he would wait for us and then cancelled the appointment 6 minutes before the time of the showing. I explained to him that I had been in the car for 90 minutes and my roommate was driving from an hour away but he would not change his mind. So I then proceeded to tell (I did not yell) Bruce that he came recommended to me by a friend and how I was very disappointed with how unprofessional he was. Bruce again gave me the impression that I was wasting his time, unapologetically stated "well sorry" AND THEN BRUCE HUNG UP ON ME. The following day, my roommate called Debbie to make an appointment with her and the unit was "already rented"... just 18 hours after we were supposed to see the place? Sounds fishy. I would never recommend giving up your hard earned money to support this man's living. I truly wish I read his horrible reviews before making the 95 mile round trip to Fishtown only to be blown off and treated so poorly. I am a younger woman, so I guess Bruce felt he did not feel that I was deserving of respectful customer service; It's too bad for Bruce that I am the niece of a realtor and understand that I am fully entitled to file a grievance against his office with the Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors, of which he is a member of (I fully plan to do so). ...read more

I'd leave 0 stars if I could. They don't manage to property they just collect their commission! When I first called about the property I was interested in, they sent me to another property where I couldn't afford, come to find out that other property was owned by Ed Rueter! When I told him that was not the property I called About he then took me to a property that I could afford. Ed Rueter showed me my storage space, only to find out I only get about 1/4 of the space. I should've never dealt with these people, no matter what the situation they tell me I am wrong! Beware of Rueter Realty! ...read more

He told me he would come between 4:30 and 5:00. He arrived at 5:30 and walked right in without even an apology. My son was at the dining room table and he did not even acknowledge him. I agree with Awful that there was no rhyme or reason to the comps he used. I had my house appraised in 2010 and he appraised it $53,000 less. He has a lousy attitude and should not be going into people's houses with his crappy attitude. ...read more

The following Pennsylvania Licensed Real Estate Broker, Bruce H. Kauderer of Fishtown/Richmond Realty Company located at 240 E.

By Craig

If he didn't cause me so much trouble, I would be on the floor laughing at this guy. His decision to list my trendy Philly neighborhood as a "declining market" shocked everyone involved in my transaction, and left me high and dry with the mortgage company. All of the city, census, and MLS data points to a growing market, year-over-year, but this guy has his own twisted formula. His reasoning for listing it as a declining market: "Are you an appraiser? Well then, OK." No sir, I'm far too thick to analyze compelling data from reputable sources. I would much rather guess. Stay far, far away from this pretender, if possible. ...read more

Bullowa C E Coinhunter

By Randy Mason

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Ms. Bullowa at past coin shows here in Honolulu. Over the years I purchased several coins from her and each time I came away more than happy. Some years back Catherine sold me one of my favorite pieces, a MS, glossy and gorgeously toned 1741 pillar $. What a beauty, She has always presented a variety of interesting coins. Catherine is a very nice person, I hope she is well and that we may see out here again. ...read more

An hour before our scheduled time I was called at work to be told Frank was running early. I agreed this would likely be okay and I would call my wife to talk to her. She was in the shower and needed a few minutes notice and when I called Frank back there was no answer. Left a message. Called again.... no answer. Upon arrival Frank was greated by my roommate, He said nothing and proceeded to roam around my house. When my wife got out of the shower she hello and mentioned that she was in the shower and didnt have enough time to get decent. He did not respond. Perhaps it was a bad day for him but civility is still a necessary part of entering a strangers home ...read more

I visited Catherine's business in July 2007 and was pleasantly surprised to find a very knowledeable numismatist. I purchased several coins and about 60 currency notes from her. This is not your corner shop coin dealer. Catherine was one of the most polite, honest, and respectable dealers that I have ever dealt with. If your a collector and happen to be in Philadelphia, Catherine is the only one that I would recommend going to see. Thanks Catherine ...read more
