For those of you who followed the listing-poaching story last week, the founder of the brokerage firm involved has responded and we’ve updated the original post with her email. You decide for yourself if you believe her.

Arlene Waye loves to blame her employees.
She takes responsibility for NOTHING.

I personally met Arlene Awaye at an open house almost 4 yrs ago in prospect heights. She told me that I had to use her mortgage broker ( which is a lie ), that I needed this and that , and stated that she believed I was just some cocky yuppie who was full of shit. She is total trash. I am so glad this is out there.
So I did some digging and was able to find the original Awaye photos (still on the server). They seem to be very poor copies of the originals:

CarrollGardened,
Small world, I own a building a block down from you.
Consider the following:
1. Potential buyer contacts Awaye.
2. Potential buyer learns about listing through Awaye.
3. Potential buyer finds out that this is really an FSBO.
4. Potential buyer tries to buy directly from owner.
5. Awaye claims to be entitled to commission because potential buyer found out about listing through Awaye, and sues the buyer.
Now do you get why Awaye is stealing value from owners by engaging in these shady practices? They are trying to lock in potential buyers by being the first to show them the listing.
How do I make this realtor GO AWAYE?
Anyone who saw that Awaye’s site and also saw the FSBO website at http://www.180Adelphi.com knows that her poor advertising did not do the owner any favors. The owner’s website displays decent photos of a very attractive brownstone. Awaye Realty’s website, included only very low-rez copies of a few of the many photos on the FSBO website. As anyone with a basic understanding of marketing knows, blurry dark photos make a home look bad.
McD…we’ve met Amzi…he lives near you but is not the real estate agent.
