Christopher Salvatore Martone

Delayed process for my closing because was slow to respond. My lender, seller's lawyer and agents all expressed how difficult he was to work with. After inspection I emailed negotiation strategy to him and he forwarded it directly to seller's attorney. Email responses were returned faster than phone ...calls but were usually vague. I sent an email with 5 distinct questions and would get back an email that may answer 1 of the questions. He never seemed to know the details of my situation when I did speak with him. Near the end in order to get closing done my lender would work with the sellers attorney, I was embarrassed. And the final straw was increasing his fee by $200 and acting as if it had been discussed. I was almost ready to walk away from my home....

My short sale almost fell through because of Chris Martone. He did not respond to the bank when they tried corresponding with him, and was very difficult to reach. He also changed my fee because of the "amount of work done" even though I did most of the work with the bank (due to his unresponsiv...eness)
