We finally decided which home to choose. On Sunday, they confirmed our place on the priority list and the price and elevation.
Today we called them and found out that they have released the phase 28 that we were waiting for. Went there and APPARENTLY, FCB beat us in that home. Although we were on their list from May and actually they said we were on top of the list, today when we went to give the check they told us they are holding the home indefinitely!!!!! for FCB to wire the money from HongKong.
From what we heard, real state agent of the FCB is a friend of one of the Sales consultants and she is pushing it through.
This is the quote from their release email:
"Should you decide to reserve a home we will require an earnest money deposit of $20,000 made out to First American Title. Please remember that we cannot hold homes off the market for any period of time. If we can not reach you when we call, we will continue to make calls and extent the opportunity to purchase to other individuals on the Priority List".
1) We know they are lying about FCB being on their list but we can not prove it since they don't give us their place on the list, and even if they do there is no easy way to verify it.
2) as I stated above quote, they should not hold the home off the market for any reason, when we gave them our check today (we forced them to get the check though).
We called their supervisor Jared A. Miller ( sales manager of Irvine pacific) like 100 times and left messages on his answering machine... no reply yet.
We called the Sales director Daisy Tran left a voice message , No reply yet.
A) What can we do to involve an independent third party to confirm our place and their place in the priority list? I know it is fairly easy to add "A FCB name" in their priority list so this is just a long shot.
B) Who should we talk to know how many days they can hold the home before releasing it to next person on the waiting list?
