I live in another state and was purchasing a property in Grand Junction. I contacted Foundational Rock (Jason Weed) is the person who contacted me back. On the phone he was very nice, asked the right questions and was interested in taking on the project. My partner and I agreed to go from California and meet Jason at the property along with the real-estate agent. During this project meeting Jason felt this was a project he would be willing and capable of taking on. I moved forward with getting things in place with the bank. We meet again with Jason at the property, coming from California. Jason also meet with the HUD inspector assigned to our project from the bank. At no time did Jason give any indication he would not be taking on this project or give any indication he was too busy to accept this work. I provided Jason the timeline of when drawings needed to be submitted to the bank along with the timeline the bank had for Jason to submit his company information. The bank reached out to Jason more than once. I spoke with Jason on a Thursday, he confirmed that everything the bank needed would be submitted that Friday. This gave us two weeks for the bank to go over the documents and schedule the appraiser to come out. Unfortunately, after that Thursday phone call Jason went MIA for over a week, never submitted any documents. I called, text, emailed and nothing. No response. After 8 days Jason finally sends me a text stating he is busy working out of town, he only has cell phone reception on and off and he is very busy. He then let me know the architect he was working with pulled out and the price would be higher. I understand things happen, but it’s imperative to communicate with your client. Since Jason never communicated to us that he would not be taking this job on, until two weeks after he was supposed to submit all documents it caused us to lose the property. For two months we had been working with Jason, we travel from California twice to meet Jason. At no point did Jason provide any information that he was too busy or would not be taking this project on. The seller would not extend our 60 days to find a new contractor, because of this we had to cancel our contract on this purchase. I was heartbroken. I love this property and my partner, and I had big dreams of moving to this piece of land. I am shocked that a company (Jason Weed) would do something like this. All that was needed was communication, which was never done.
