Big State Home BuyersReviews of bigstatehomebuyers.com

Absolutely worst people deal with made appointment then didn't show up. ghosted me 4 days till I emailed and text them. Call I got was to tell me they dropped ball but are very professional and this never happens. Well looking at reviews it seems happen a lot. Don't waste your time with these people.

Deceptive business practices. check out Better Business Bureau complaints. I normally don't write reviews. I only make a comment once every a few years the most. This is too bad for me to write a review. It is just a huge waste of time & energy on top of a financial loss. Also, they have removed a lot of bad reviews and complaints through under the table activities. The positive reviews were not many back in Sept. 2024. Instead, I saw a lot of bad ones. I noticed that they also added many fake good reviews after Sept. 2024. Read the real complaints and see the deceptions in their business practices. The positive reviews are possibly results of manipulations of their customers & fake reviews. Mike White and the team behind him (Seth Castillo & Stephanie Brand) put on shows and lied without blinking their eyes. They make money by taking advantage of people's situations and making empty promises. Their contract starts with standard information and hides their "exclusive rights" at the costs of clients' responsibilities/financial burden/time/energy in the Addendum. If you understand what they talk about in words as normal business practices, they meant something else. For instance, both parties agree on a closing date. They promote their "fast no hassle closing" to get you to sign a contract. They have the agreed closing date typed in the contract as a date both sides agreed. They have a hidden clause at the end that the closing date automatically extends when they are still making an "effort" to close - which they pretended to make an effort, while they actually intentionally drag the process by reviewing solutions/alternatives & requesting documents at different times for numerous reviews from their "legal" because they have too many liabilities (when they already knew these liabilities from the very beginning buying as is). A solution that took me 2 munities to think of for them is: we have exhausted all of our solutions; the only option is to wait. When you want to terminate the contract because it is taking too long (way passed agreed closing date), they tell you that it is not allowed, because the closing date extends automatically when they are still making an "effort", so you are in contract until they want to close, or they want to end the deal. Or they give you an option to terminate the contract by paying them $5,000 when you sell the house to someone else to cover their interests. My God, what is the point a buyer pays earnest money? My God, what's the point of agreeing on a closing date by both parties, when it can keep extending when buyer is still making an "effort" - "at the Buyer's sole discretion [additional closing period]". And "Seller shall make every effort to cooperative with title curative work and due diligence work if required". All of these are at your responsibilities to minimize their cost and maximize their gain on top of an already low contract price they get due to their "fast closing" or other promoted benefits. For a about month time from the contract signed, they could not even confirm any date for any kind of next step. Once they start to give you a date, the date will probably be kept moving out due to all kinds of created situations like the complaints in the above link. Tons of hidden clauses in the Addendum A, which basically overwrites anything in the regular contract that you believe you sign. delays that they intentionally created by using perceived client situations as their excuses. "As soon as possible" is only one of their empty words and one of their ways to delay without giving out any date. It meant a few days at least. One excuse after another to delay the process. Full of lies, manipulations, & gaslighting. Just like the complaints of their clients in the link above. The above link also mentioned that the already low contract price kept being cut down for various excuses when you are patient enough to get to closing time. Definitely need a lawyer in reviewing your legal document with them. It can be very costly for most families who sell "as-is". After their tricks in the Addendum (a ton of them hidden there) are pointed out, they would probably figure out other ways to deceive. The best option is to stay away from them.

I wish I never signed a contract with this company. I KEEP TELLING ALL OF OF THEM THAT LUCAS MISREPRESENTED HIMSELF AND THE PAPERWORK I SIGNED. HE TOLD ME IF HE COULDN'T GET THE AMOUNT I WANT THEN THE CONTRACT WOULD BE NULL AND VOID. I WOULD BE LETTING THEM STEAL MY HOUSE FOR THAT AMOUNT THAT THEY WANT TO PAY. I WILL NOT BE SIGNING ANYMORE DOCUMENTS FOR THEM. I WAS TRICKED THE FIRST TIME AND I WILL NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. LUCAS ALREADY TRIED TO BRIBE ME BY OFFING TO GIVE ME A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS UPFRONT. I KEEP TELLING THEM i AM NOT SELLING MY HOUSE SO STOP HASSLING AND HARASSING ME. There company is trying to take advantage of people like me. He did not go over any part of the contract with me at all. He did not explain anything to me. He said if I did not agree with the amount the contract would be null and void. I do not even have a copy of what I signed. All you did is say sign and initial. I had no clue that I was signing a binding contract to just give my home away. Shame on them, all they want to do is rip people off. Tell everyone that your company is just trying to rip-off unsuspecting people like me. Now they are going to try and strong arm me or scare me into letting you steal my house with something else he didn't tell me about in this supposed contract WOW: You impede access which is in breach of the contract you signed. We allocate those thousands of dollars to our lawyer. It states in the contact, that again you signed, that you are responsible for our legal costs. He never went over any part of that contact, not even one paragraph. Your website says NO RISK OR HASSLE...WELL THAT IS A BIG LIE....BECAUSE YOU ARE PUTTING ME AT RISK AND ALSO HASSLING/HARASSING ME. I definitely learned a valuable lesson from you and that is you can't trust anyone. YOU TRICKED ME JUST TO MAKE MONEY ON MY HOUSE.

This company is a joke. I called them in July with a house my Wife inherited and we wanted to just sell because it's a 3 1/2 hour trip one way to reach it. I told Chad Alan up front that we had a non-paying tenant in the house, he PROMISED me that THEY would get him out and not to worry about it. The house was rough and the tenant was supposed to be working in it. We were offered a modest 35k for it, which we accepted and a contract was signed that evening with a closing date of September 15. During this time we were constantly grilled by the title company to provide proof and more proof that we owned the house, despite providing them with a Affidavit of Heirship signed by a Judge and filed with the county, not good enough, the title company ( Fidelity) required the Affidavit be in their "format" requiring it to be re-done and notarized again, but we HAD to use their mobile notaries at $150 each X 3. While this was going on they made zero effort to remove the tenant I was promised would be removed, they also advertise that if you have a tenant they will buy it with them still living in it, that's just another lie. We finally finished ALL of the title work and the only thing holding us up is the tenant, he won't answer the phone and Big State won't send anyone out there to talk to him or look at the property, they want ME to go take pictures, I feel as sellers we have done quite enough. Sept 15 came and went and they extended the date to November 30 (yesterday). They did finally send him a feebly worded letter to vacate after I insisted at the end of September giving him until the 2nd week of November to vacate and much to everyone's surprise he moved out on or about Nov 6, we know because we went out there to replace the door knobs and locks that the tenant took with him, (I know he can't remove what was supposed to go with the house even if he did replace them, but whatever right?) Well, well well, after 4 FULL months of knowing he was leaving, he DESTROYED the house!, filled it with trash, tore down walls, turned all of the utilities off, you name it. The NEXT day, the now ex-tenant, called code enforcement and they condemned the property. My 35k offer went to 3k and when I asked about who was paying for the mobile notaries and when I would get paid, they stopped answering the phone. THEY gave the tenant the time and reason (if you're a vindictive drug addict felon, like he is) to DESTROY the property, you PROMISED you would get him out!!! You lied Chad! You said you would get us a fair offer, you lied Chad! Now you back out and don't even have the guts to answer my calls or texts? Do yourself a favor, if your property is not perfect and you aren't willing to take pennies on the dollar for it's value, don't waste your time with these clowns, they lie and waste your time, and lost us 35k, they don't give the tiniest crap either, they just ignore you.

I had big state home buyers come out Austin made me a offer for my home of 750,000 we signed a contract a month or longer later they tried to low ball me with 600,000 offer Beware they wasted my valuable time

I wish I never sold my home with this company. They took advantage of me because I had less than two weeks to close on my new home after the buyer for old home didnt get approved. Big state came made an offer that I accepted three days to closing on my new home they came back with a lesser offer for my old home. I needed to close on my new home so I accepted I felt they took advantage of my situation i will never forgive myself for losing all my equity on my old home.
