Beazer Homes, clarksb MD is unethical in its practices of selling homes. How do I get my earnest deposit back

Question

I attempted to buy a Beazer Home in Clarksburg, Maryland. Beazer was forcing me to settle on an unrealistic date. When I said I could not settle on those suggested dates because I had not sold my home, I received a letter from Rob Shapiro that my contract to purchase the house was terminated and that my $15,000 deposit would not be refunded to me. As I tried to renegotiate the contract, I found out that the house was sold.

And also,

1) Submitted with my contract was an addendum that made this sale contingent upon me selling my home. The general manger selectively chose not to sign this addendum without notifying me of this action; 2) I was told that I would not qualify for two mortgages and my deposit would be fully refunded to me; and (3) Beazer was suggesting courses of actions that involved borrowing money under predatory conditions.

Beazer has refused to give me my deposit back. Be careful when trying to purchase a Beazer home - Clarksburg Maryland.

Answer 1

It looks like you have been royally shafted. Yes, Beazer does seem to have deceptive sales practices. They are scared of attorneys, though. So have you tried writing them a two-line letter asking for your money back and stating that if you do not receive it in (for example) 14 days, you will turn the matter over to an attorney? That worked for someone in my neighborhood. The trick is to keep it short and to the point. Do not muddy it with any debate or emotion.

Good luck. I feel for you.

Answer 2

Write them a short letter demanding your money AND turn them in to the FBI as well as your state's department of mortgage and lending.

All criminals continue committing crime until they are stopped. Ever heard "Crime Pays"? That saying is true. Commit crimes, shaft people, and most will just take it. A few will demand their money back, "or else" and almost NONE will follow through with criminal prosecution. Crime pays.

Answer 3

I'm sorry for your problems but, you really need a good attorney to help with this problem.
