Report
We decided not to sell due to loss of a job and the pandemic . We ended up in a lawsuit and she was on the opposing side telling the buyers personal things about us and causing conflict .Lindsay Maiolatsi is extremely unprofessional and when we ended settling with the buyers in the lawsuit knowing that we lost money she still took her commission. She is desperate for money and will do whatever it takes even if it means throwing her own clients under the bus!!!
