The Sylvan Firm

DO NOT ACCEPT AN OFFER ON YOUR HOUSE FROM THIS COMPANY. If this company’s name is on an offer for your house I would strongly suggest going with a different buyer. I’m in the real estate business and have dealt with investment companies large and small and these guys have very poor, and unethical buyer practices. They wrote an offer on our home, over ask, we accepted, they kept asking for extensions on inspections, which we agreed to, then sent us a concession request for items that were not even in need of repair or listed on the inspection report, we ended up accepting their concession, they asked for another extension, then after we’d granted it they immediately terminated the contract. They asked for an extension because they were pass due diligence window, and would be forced to honor the contract, we granted their extension in good faith, and they only used it to terminate. More than likely because they didn’t have the capital to close the deal. That’s usually why. Their reason for terminating was because “scope of work exceeds investors threshold”, mind you the house is immaculate, nothing they wanted in concession was on inspection report, and we granted the concession! And it still didn’t meet their threshold. Bad business. We will be reporting them to the Ohio Attorney Generals office. I would strongly encourage anyone to pass on this company as a buyer.

This company has been wonderful to work for. Being able to be a working woman and a mom with the remote work has made my work/life balance much better! We are growing and changing so many aspects to make the company run smoother, you will see great things from us in the future!

The most despicable business I've ever had to work with. The killer of the American Dream. I filed a complaint with the Ohio AG on them. They have requested nothing but extension after extension. We then get the inspection which they requested an extension on the report which we obliged. They even requested a close date change for finances which we were ok with to sell still. Then less than 2 weeks before close they cancel contract. They said their numbers didnt meet. So we are in contract for weeks and they never ran the numbers??? I already had half my house in pods. Of course they arent going to refund money they forced me to waste. My wife is 8 months pregnant so they are not a people oriented business at all. They will just screw you over. Now we are not moving thanks to them screwing us over. DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY OFFER ON YOUR HOUSE, THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER!!!!!

As a listing agent representing a seller. This company continuously drug us around, kept extending their inspection period and just to cancel the transaction in the end because it was "Not the buyers criteria". The house and all the information was listed on the MLS so how do you not know it doesn't fit your criteria when all details that are given to you before offering. Terrible business will never work with them again. Not to mention this house was completely flipped so no repairs were needed.

This company is a complete joke to work for. Was hired as an inspector and was given no idea as to what’s areas I would be traveling in or what to expect from the position. Heard snippets of other employees on video calls saying that guns were pulled on them, chased by pit bulls and other large breed dogs. Also, management has ZERO idea of how to effectively run, train and approach their employees. Bad attitudes run rampant and they expected me to sit with my phone in my hand waiting for calls when I literally was waiting more than 10 days for work orders to be assigned. Now I didn’t really NEED this job, it’s something I wanted to do to allow me more freedom in personal matters outside work hours but for $24 an hour plus a fairly decent vehicle allowance monthly, any person who actually needed a paycheck from these w people would have been hurting. There are so many other companies similar to this that treat their employees amazingly well, offer excellent salaries, benefits and other compensations and actually value you as a person and not an inanimate object or a punch bag to be talked down to like a dog. If they treat their employees in this way I’d hate to see how they interact with their tenants and the conditions they have people living in. If I could give less than one star I would … STAY AWAY!!!

My issue with the company is the regional manager in the East. Is horrible she is a racist and definitely does like black people working under her. I have filed an EEO claim against the company cause of they management is in the east.

Been trying to communicate with Sylvan for several weeks to get under contract on a residential real estate deal.. Very unresponsive and poor communication. I have wasted weeks on a simple sell.

This is a poorly managed company.
