  • Three years ago, my mother made the unfortunate decision to hire Leolinda Bowers to sell her home. Leolinda initially across as warm, professional, and caring but , in my opinion, I would rate her a negative 10 if I could do so. Had I known more about real estate, my mother and I would have demanded a different realtor take over the sale early on. Since we were selling the home from California, we relied on our neighbors who told us Leolinda rarely held the open houses. From what we were told, she apparently had her husband holding them. Leolinda also urged my mother to participate in the Gold ticket group which is used to make buyers think there is something special with the house. If I remember correctly, we were told my mother would have to contribute $200 to a fund that would be used as prizes for realtors at a luncheon held for the realtors (?). My mother declined this offer. Of course, this was never put in writing so when we pulled up to the house (once it sold) was I surprised to see the Gold ticket for sale sign. (I have a picture, date, time to prove this.) When I asked Leolinda about this, she said it was a mistake. Also, when it came time to decide upon an offer, in my opinion, Leolinda failed to act as my mother's advocate. Instead, she sent myriads of documents saying prices had fallen and it was best to take the offer. We declined, I countered with an offer of $20K more, and the buyers signed without a hint of protest. If any of you have read Malcom Gladwell's The Tipping Point, then you know some (most) realtors could care less about the price being decreased by 20K since it's a minor loss of commission (at 6% we're talking $1200). I could go on and on but suffice it to say that we do NOT recommend Leolinda Bowers to sell your home. It's my belief the Sun City West market is low because of realtors who just want to sell, take their commission, and move on. The retiree market is extremely vulnerable and has to rely on trusting their realtor. If the realtor fails to advocate for them, then both the market and the sellers suffer while the realtor walks away with their 6% commission. I believe the SCW market is deflated because of this and not just because of the economic downturn.
