Patrick Finney represented a fake buyer with a fake offer on my house, in 2015, and I am still feeling violated to this day. I, literally, almost hit Patrick Finney with my car coming into my garage way too fast in October of 2015. He had recently gotten an offer ratified the day before and he was showing the house to his«client» for the second time. He was quite late to the first showing. I saw Patrick with my large, brown leather bound personal journal in one hand and a metal measuring tape in the other. As I was stretching my neck to get a better view, I thought to myself, «that can’t REALLY be my journal!”“Maybe it was something similar to write on». Just prior, he had lost control of the journal and was trying to catch it with both hands in the air almost like out of a I Love Lucy episode. When the journal was no longer in view(he walked it away from me), he stretched out the measuring tape as if to measure something which made no sense since I had just almost hit him with my car and we all watched him do his«Lucy Dance» with my journal. We were all startled and I made the mistake of backing out my car. Even after all of this happened, they still took my journal! Patrick stopped returning my agent’s(Brent Jones) calls and refused to answer my calls like an unprofessional coward. Eventually, I got him to agree to meet with me at his real estate«office». He denied everything but could not produce anything that looked even similar to my journal. He says he dosen’t remember having anything in his hand except the tape measure but maybe there was something in his other hand. But that it supposedly was not my journal. He told me that he sold this same«buyer» a house a few years back at about ¼ the price of my home but she was supposedly going to buy my house without even selling her house? Supposedly it was a gift from her«father in Texas» although Patrick could not say where in Texas. He never even deposited a check on my behalf as part of the contract. Patrick is well aware that even as the«buyer’s agent» he still holds a fiduciary responsibility, to ME, not the buyer and failed miserable, obviously. Patrick tried to manipulate me during the meeting with mentioning people that we know in common and saying how they all said I was such a great guy etc and by trying to flash me his smiles a bunch of times. I will never forget him trying to get control of my journal in mid air in my garage for the rest of my life. I will have to live with the violation of my personal journal being stolen out of my home and shared with whomever Patrick, or Patrick’s fake client, decides is worthy of knowing all of my inner most thoughts and feelings. I had all my grief process from both my partner’s death and my nephew’s tragic death in there and things that can never be replaced. The violation is huge. What was Patrick’s motivation? Perhaps to make a client happy?! Perhaps to play smear the queer in the business world? Worse? Only Patrick knows and will never say. Patrick Finney has been in the real estate business with access to people’s homes for a long time so I can’t help but wonder how many other victims he has created.
