Manipulative agent and broker, DO NOT USE (Annaliese Foster) and the Broker (Gary Kaukonen)As a first home buyer I was eager to find my home in the area, I contacted Keller Williams with 30 homes of my interest that I wanted to be viewed over a weekend when I came into town. I never signed a buyers agreement to commit my self to the company. Initially I was thrown around to different agents and did not have a set viewing schedule until the morning of my arrival to Apollo Beach. I researched and found all the homes that I wanted to view, and received little help from the agent Annalise Foster besides opening the doors for me. We went to view a home in a private community to which she told me I could not look at any homes including the new construction without her present representing me because it was a private community. This is a LIE and as a first home buyer I believed this... This community had model homes which I could speak with the builder representatives without her. She manipulated me into involving her into my contract because she forced her way by telling me she always had to be present working with the model agent. She stated she got a 3% commission on the home which actually was indeed 5%, which she wrongfully hid from me. Once I found out I was deceived I no longer wanted to work with her, she offered a 2% incentive to stay with her and her company. Her broker and her worked up a document that further manipulated me by stating the realtor may allocate up to 2% of her commission to the buyer at closing. Annalise agreed via text, email, and in person that she would do this. Once I put money down on the home for my deposit, she sent an email two days later stating she would not give me any money towards closing and that she was going to keep all 5% 16,500 dollars to her self and the broker.. She stated the brokers letter said that she "may" if she wanted to. It was not until I hired a legal representative and threatened filing a lawsuit and complaint with the division of real estate. That she finally reluctantly upheld her part of the agreement. At closing my realtor was not present at all, did not help me whatsoever. As it is their DUTY to help their customer work through the closing or any questions I may have. She showed up while I was there to collect her check, realized I was still there and ran out of the building. She later came back to the title company to collect her check. They conspired together to manipulate me as a first time buyer and wrongly hid information from me to receive commission... Extremely GREEDY unethical people. I can not speak for other agents at this realty company but ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use Annalise Foster.
