My husband and I had the great pleasure of being referred to Jack Schramm as our selling agent…read more From the minute we met Jack we knew we made the right choice. Right from the start, Jack was very polished, detail-oriented, and most important (especially in this real estate market), honest. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Jack always made sure we understood every step and was always there when we needed him on nights and even weekends. Throughout the time our home was on the market he continually gave us feedback on showings and price competitiveness. Jack was clearly dedicated to selling our home, showing it non stop, making sure it was effectively marketed, following up regularly with any potential buyers. All of his work definitely paid off for us. Our home sold!!!!! and we could not have been more pleased with everything. Jack was not just another "Realtor", he became our friend. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

After reading the negative review left by a Buyer who was NOT represented by this Realtor but by…read moreher own Realtor I had to comment. 1) It is NOT typical for listing agents to have any contact with another Realtor's client. 2) The Buyer complaining about the "listing" Realtor not attending her "multiple" showings is odd. Typically listing Realtors DO NOT accompany Buyer's Agent showings--unless it's a million dollar listing and certainly not on a bargain priced, pre-foreclosure Short Sale listing. 3) Certain lien amounts can change over time and the title company would be privy to this info, and should have advised the Buyer or her Realtor, not necessarily the listing Realtor. 4) This Buyer should be thankful the listing Realtor was able to get this Short Sale closed; many short sales never close and get foreclosed by the bank.

Michael was consistent, clear, and proactive while handling everything in regard to the sale of the house with the upmost professionalism and care.

I can't speak to the other realtors but Michael was incredible and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for representation as a buyer or a seller.

As a first time home buyer, Mo made the process seamless and stress-free for me and I felt like I was working with a good friend rather than a real estate agent and closed on my home in just a few weeks. He was also very supportive after the closing and went above and beyond with his service. Highly recommend!

Use caution here they have been sending me requests to sell a property in Bradenton FL that is the…read morenursing/assisted living facility that my mom lived in until she passed. After the 3rd letter I responded positively with a $10,000,000 asking price, the facility is the largest in the area. Gotta a call all enthusiastic, when I asked if they had even looked on Zillow what the property was the woman said no. When I told her it was a huge retirement home and called her an idiot she got all butt hurt and asked me why "did I call her". When I again called her an idiot and reminded her that SHE CALLED ME, she got even more butt hurt and said she wouldn't work with a client like me, who called her an idiot...... went downhill from there. So, I guess my asking price of $10,000,000 was too high? BTW the mailing address is bogus as well. This is a scam and any reviews are self-generated.

Worst purchase agreement I've ever seen. Lowball offer for less than a third of market value…read more If you sign with them, be prepared for this: 1. Buyer: "The Dude Who Could Ruin Your Life" and/or assigns" That "and/or assigns". He can flip the contract to another buyer or investor "without your consent". You think you're selling to "This Bad Dude", but it may close under a completely different name, or not at all. This is how wholesalers make money by reselling your contract. 2. 21 Business Days + Optional 30-Day Extension "Seller and Buyer ... on or before (within 21 Business Days)... Both Buyer and Seller agree to extend the closing date up to an additional 30 days..." That's up to 10+ weeks! with zero penalty if they delay. They can stall endlessly, usually to find someone else to buy your house. Meanwhile, your property is off the market. 3. Buyer Pays All Closing Costs "Buyer is to pay for all closing costs, including title company fees for the seller..." Sounds good but... The tittle company they use is commonly used by flippers/"investors" in Florida, It gives them control over the title company. They use a title agent who works for them, not you. That can mean slow communication, delays, or games with escrow funds. 4. "Management Approval" Clause "Offer subject to Management approval to be determined within 7 business days of acceptance." It means the deal isn't binding even after you sign. "We'll decide later if we actually want to buy." They can walk away during those 7 days with no penalty. 5. "Seller agrees to allow Buyer to market the property... to other potential buyers." They're openly asking permission to resell your property before they own it. They'll list your house online or show it to other investors to flip the contract. 6. "Buyer has the right to assign the contract (in lieu of assignment fee)." They're reselling the contract. "In lieu of assignment fee" means they can profit inside the price difference instead of charging a visible fee. You'll never see how much they made reselling your deal. 7. "Offer valid for 3 business days". Their way of rushing you, pushing sellers into signing quickly before they get legal advice. 8. "Buyer is purchasing as-is, no repairs required." Combined with all their outs, it means they can cancel at will if they find anything inconvenient. 9. "Buyer has a real estate license." Legal disclosure (required by law). This is a professional, not an ordinary buyer, and they know how to write the contract heavily in their favor. 10. "Possession to be given within 21 business days..." "Possession" isn't tied to a firm closing date. They could argue for access or marketing rights before closing. 11. No Seller Protections or Default Remedies. There's no penalty if they don't close after management approval or title clearing. You can't keep their deposit, sue, or relist freely without risk of dispute. 12. "Force Majeure" Extension "If an event constituting 'Force Majeure', Closing Date shall be extended." Force Majeure is normally for disasters, but vague wording means they can claim "delays" for almost anything and stall further. 13. "Cash, no contingencies for financing." Seems strong, but with all their built-in delays and outs, "cash" doesn't guarantee fast or certain closing. 14. "Offer subject to one inspection walkthrough during management approval period." Red flag: That means they'll bring in their "buyers" (other investors) for walk-throughs -- not inspectors. It's how they shop your home to others before closing. No written permission for them to file a lien, but the way the contract is written, they could cloud your title using a memorandum -- which is exactly what some predatory investors do if you back out. Summary: Purchase agreement written to trap your house while giving the "buyer" every possible way to: assign it to someone else for profit, back out without losing money, delay closing indefinitely, use your property to advertise for other investors. You could be stuck for months. The "Bad Dude" might never close. You might lose other real offers while they flip yours. Definitely stay very far away from these people.

My closer Tiffany Ramey was very very knowledgable as well. Even though I had a private loan they were very thorough in explaining to me why I needed Title Insurance & what this protected me from in buying my very first home. It was VERY informative and eye opening as well! I learned about things I never ever though could exist, liens possibly attached to properties that could have been missed in prior sales and worse! But I left there KNOWING I was buying a home that had a safe and clean title that would be mine & mine alone once I paid it off. There is no greater feeling than walking through the door of your first home. It's no Taj Mahal but it's MINE! And to think I thought a new car was exciting... Thanks you so much Susan and Tiffany. Your services will always be remembered with joy and thankfulness!

If you are looking for a real estate agent, then look no further! Joe is the kind of agent that…read morelistens to what you want, but then thinks with you using his market knowledge: asking good questions, providing insight into the area market and making helpful suggestions about what else to consider that I already hadn't. When we finally settled on a property to buy, he went the extra step of contacting the other agent and pre-negotiating a deal in a very competitive situation with multiple offers, ensuring that we ended up with it! I'm not sure how he did it but he also managed to get the sellers to agree to pay all of my closing costs! When a big issue came up during our inspection, Joe negotiated hard on my behalf and got me a brand new AC system rather than just a band-aid fix on the older one. Beyond all of that, Joe recommended a great lender, insurance company and property inspector. Every detail was handled smoothly and proactively. All in all, I have no hesitation saying that he is the best agent I've ever worked with. I recommend him highly if you want someone who can help you win a property in this competitive market and an overall smooth transaction.
