Made an offer on a home, but it did not work out.Local knowledgeProcess expertiseResponsivenessNegotiation skillsJames Riel shouldn't be working as an agent as he doesn't inform himself on recent renting laws and this ultimately ends up as the tenant getting the shorter end of the stick. While trying to do business with James, I urged him to look into the new ...Response from James Riel on 8/22/2025
Hi Kora – I understand your frustration, but I want to clarify a few points for anyone reading. The apartment was clearly advertised as not pet-friendly, and unfortunately, having three pets made the application ineligible under the landlord’s requirements. Additionally, the landlord reviews applications based on credit and completeness before making the final decision. As brokers, our role is to represent the property owner professionally and fairly while providing transparency to all applicants. I wish you the best in finding a pet-friendly apartment that better suits your needs. — James Riel, Principal
