I have never found my lot listed or any offerings. I have had other people interested and sent them there. I noticed the warnings on the internet and I am wondering if I have been scammed.
Lori Garey first contacted me by ordinary mail. As a non-resident land-owner in Florida holding the same parcel of land for 3 years, my contact details are easy to obtain from the County Tax Office.
I do in fact want to off-load this vacant lot, so, after checking the business's website, which at that time was All Realty Services LLC, I asked her about the process. She wrote:
Thank you for your response to our letter reguards to the above property.
We are a Lic. Broker in Florida that specializes in the sale of vacant land in Fla.
I can give you a range of the property sales of 15k to 20k US $'s is average. You would need to have an evaluation to get the closer amount. They would need to do an assessment on the land.
We do all marketing and advertising for the sale. Our Realtor signs go up in the yard, and it would go into the MLS, that's the multi listing system.
We would handle everything thru the close of the sale. At no point would you need to be here to close this sale, as we represent you as the Broker.
Please let me know of any questions.

North Port Charlotte in Sarasota county is a very nice developing area, I don't see a problem with around the 10k, we mite be able to start a bit higher as well so we have a little wiggle room. We do not take less than you want for the property. It is a rural area so there are other vacant lots, however there are several homes in the area as well and new construction going on.
The thing is the interest rates are down & sales have been very good this past year, if they start raising interest that's when the market will slow again. Selling is a positive option.
You will need the ITIN # for the sale, taxes , so if you want to get it now or at the close of the sale either is ok.
I look forward to handling this property sale for you.

ME:
I have since this last communication forwarded the required $US545 and documents for the marketing. I have had no further communication despite asking Lori for the 'appraisal' on 2nd, 23rd October. I am filing this report now primarily because I see some other consumer has been had in a similar fashion. I do not expect to see anything further in relation to this sale from this woman or her company. Undoubtedly the small capital value of the 'appraisal fee' makes one more vulnerable than one should be; also being non-American, nor even a resident Alien means I am less aware of the avenues I should investigate.
I have used e-mailed the director listed on web-site in a gesture toward a possible bonafide company - but do not expect any communication from there. I shall go one step further and check out her Broker's License which I note is not supported by an Identity Number, so probably is bogus.
Company contacted me via post card to sell vacant land in Florida. Spoke with them and decided to forge ahead by sending credit card info to order an appraisal! This was end of July still have not heard from them and Lori Garey does not return phone calls!
Spoke to Suzan Felsing who told me that our timeshare is in great demand and that she is confident that she will sell it. Gave myself and my daughter a very convincing reason to allow them to sell our time share. We did research the fact that they are registered/licensed realtor. They are local to where my time share is at so we thought that we were in good hands.
She had us pay a Real Estate Evaluation Report which is a very simple Appraisal of the time share. For two of our properties, it costed $545 and $250.00. Very expensive but she was so confident that this is what we need to get this sold. She was following up with us, really gave us tons of assurance that they will sell it. We just needed to pay this and the rest of their fees are when we sell the time share. She said that the rest of the fees will be paid by the buyer.
So after we gave them the money, she said that she would be in touch. She was constantly calling us and following up PRIOR to giving her money. Once she had the money, it was me that had to continue following up. She would always answer our calls and give us hope that someone is very interested in our properties and that she will be in touch again. She never called. I kept up with her and called her once every few weeks untill she yelled and berated me for continuing to call her. I have not been in touch with her for 1.5 years now. I have never received a phone call since.
She was suppposed to put it on her website and it was never listed. She finally said that she would put it on there but she didn't.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY are a SCAM and RIP OFF! In my opinion her license should be revoked. I don't understand how this is legal.
We were shown by another Time Share sales company that All Realty Services gets NO hits on their website so I am not sure if they actually sell any time shares.
