John Gullickson

BUYERS/SELLERS BEWARE! Please read for your own protection! I went under contract to purchase a home in Las Vegas on 10/31/18 with John Gullickson of Simply Vegas. I was not given proper documents within specified time frames per contract, per Nevada law as a client of Simply Vegas. Important information was withheld from me as a buyer. I was intentionally deceived. I was intentionally manipulated and completely disregarded as a buyer by Simply Vegas! There were many egregious acts, including receiving my HOA resale package late and NEVER even seeing the title on the house that was sent to my realtor on Nov. 2nd from the title company. That was minor compared to the last minute, stressed out debacle that Simply Vegas knowingly and intentionally caused me. A single mother, a first time solo buyer who trusted her realtor from Simply Vegas. BIG MISTAKE. I was not sent my house disclosures until after repeated requests and AFTER Due Diligence! According to contract I was to receive within 5 days of contract. There were issues disclosed that would concern any buyer. I received the disclosures on Nov. 17th. The sellers signed disclosures on Nov. 5th. I was not sent the seller’s response to my request for repairs until after repeated requests. Gullickson had the audacity to send me a manipulated, pre-checked response Docusign in which HE accepted the seller’s response. I then requested a legal Docusign to be sent to me. I refused the seller’s response to my repair request, thus canceling the contract on Nov. 20th (but not guaranteeing the return of my EMD). The buyers/sellers make the decisions in negotiations, NOT the realtor! The same day I wanted to send a Docusign not approving of the HOA docs (ensuring I would get my EMD, Earnest Money Deposit). The docs unveiled there were two law suits. Gullickson admitted he read and calmly stated, “No red flags!” LAW SUITS?? Isn’t that why a community in Las Vegas had to pay 20 million dollars? NO red flags Simply Vegas?? Law suits are a HUGE RED FLAG! Take HOA docs seriously buyers. Investigate law suits. The deadline to sight the HOA docs was either Nov. 20th or Nov. 21st. it is ambiguous in the contract. I repeatedly asked my realtor when the deadline was--that night or the next day at midnight? He wouldn’t answer my emails, my questions, etc. What atrocious fiduciary duty! To save myself (with a ray of hope legally) I had to send my own cancellation that night (11/20) to the seller’s in order to protect myself (although I knew it wasn’t good enough for my EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) to be returned to me. Without sleep and stressed out, I called my realtor’s broker, John Gafford of Simply Vegas on the morning of Nov. 21st, concerned about the deadlines and needed assistance with the Docusign and he was extremely rude and unprofessional. More on him on his own review--please look up. On Nov. 21st, finally after hours of games, ignoring me AGAIN, I was forced to threaten them with reporting them and suddenly Gullickson sent me a Docusign at 10:22pm. OUTRAGEOUS!! They purposely stressed me out and made me suffer. I implore every buyer/seller who has been treated wrongly by Simply Vegas and any realty company to write reviews, report these issues to the Nevada Real Estate Division, go to the journalists and hire an attorney to protect your rights and get what is due to you as an individual. If these deceptive business practices are not stopped they will grow and fester like a repulsive, disgusting fungus distressing buyer/sellers, obliterating home values and disgracing the fabulous city of Las Vegas!
