Lied & Deceived
Golden Spike Realty agents "Team Musselman" Agents Calvin Musselman & Dawnell Musselman sold me a home as a single senior, out of state buyer. I visited the home and asked the listing agent to walk me around the boundary of the property. Dawnell Musselman lied and led me to believe that the front yard, side yard, and detached garage the seller built and used came with the property. I asked her to walk me around the perimeter of the property (It went into the canyon and I wanted to see how far). She and the seller walked me around the yard and garage and I had no reason to suspect that the yard and garage did not belong to the seller but because Dawnell's family had subdivided it into two parcels and lost one she deceived me and did not tell me that. The 2nd parcel went to Davis County Property Management because Dawnell's grandmother did not pay her property taxes on it. Davis County-owned and told me after the sale when I learned about it 3 years later from a neighbor that my home was not legal with required setbacks and I could not sell it. They did not disclose either but I have proof from UDOT they knew a freeway was going in on the next door property and that UDOT would be moving my street within two weeks of this sale closing! Also that there was a large man-sized 6-foot by 6-foot Aquaduct on the property running close to the foundation of this home that could wipe it out if there was an earthquake or it deteriorated as well as other major issues the home inspector could not have known but these agents did know because it was a family property for over 50 years. I feel they were deceptive and lied to me to get a big $10,000 plus sales commission. I contacted their broker Bob Hill and he threatened to report me to the police for complaining and said he would "look into it" but would not follow up on it. Cal Musselman is a state legislator and former President of the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors and should have better ethics and business practices that this! In my opinion, Golden Spike Realty and their agents Team Musselman sets a very bad example for the other real estate agents and Utah legislators.
