I recently hired Matthew Kaup for a property my husband and I purchased. I cannot say anything positive about the experience. During the deal Matthew and his team messed up a $7000 return which was crippling for our family. There was a quick, empty apology, and then moved on to taking our money for their fee…
Fast forward 6 months- I hire an electrician to come install a projector in my ceiling and he informs me my electrical is not built to code, keeping in mind this is a brand new build and there should have been inspections done by the city. After going in circles between the developer, property manager, city, I am told that after all 5 final inspections are completed on the build the city issues an Occupancy report to the developer in order to sell the units. My house had none of this paper work as no final inspections were ever done on my property. Finding this out I called Kaup law to inquire if they had this documentation of an Occupancy report. They lied, said of course they have it- I asked them if they could forward me the report (knowing there is no way they could possibly have this report as the city didn’t even have a copy), of course it was not sent to me as they insisted they had it. The following day Matthew called me to insist this is not his job to have occupancy reports allowing the property to be sold. After 10 min of him arguing with me that it’s not his job and I should of requested it during my walk through, I had to end the conversation as it was getting no where.
I have spoken to another lawyer that deals with real estate and they have confirmed 100% this is Matthews responsibility and that the units in my complex should never of been sold in the first place and I am at risk of being vacated from my house from the city while the developer has the units inspected and does the electrical repairs.
Thanks so much Kaup law for taking my money and not doing a shred of work to ensure all the paperwork is in order. And a huge thank you for trying to say I should have requested it almost as if I’m a lawyer and should know it is needed…
