I understand wanting to turn profits but when you do nothing to property and sell it for way over…read moreits value because of your say so, you're robbing yourself of loyal clients. You buy a property, gut it, and less than a month later (without renos mind you) you put it up for sale $250k more than your purchase price. Make it make sense. The most you should ask for is the purchase price you paid plus demo price. Whoever your agent is in charge of that property is also difficult to work with. He doesn't let anyone get a word out to have a normal human being conversation. Won't go near your agency with a 10 ft pole.

Wanted to look at an house and received the following message from the Realtor at John Greene…read more There is an up front fee of $50 to setup the viewing of the house, and a 3.5% buyers commission (non negotiable if you put in an offer) that a contract must be signed prior to viewing the house. While I understand the laws have changed around buyers commission and sellers commission fee, the percentage requested up front is more than the average commission received by sellers today... usually it's 6% total (buyer/seller) and 1% goes to the sellers company, and selling realtor gets 2.5% to 3.0% and buying realtor gets 2.0% to 2.5%. Even then everything should be negotiable between the buyer/seller which is what the law was changed to mean.. Would not recommend anyone deal with Amanda from John greene Realtor.

Great agent and now with the whole experience behind us, an even better friend…read more My husband and I really felt like George was willing to go the extra mile for us and make sure we got everything we wanted and more. George's knowledge, dedication, and understanding of what we were looking for helped keep us sane through both the selling and buying processes. We were definitely picky buyers and looked at many many houses with George We ended up finding exactly what we wanted, where we wanted, at the price we wanted, and George is the one that made it happen. We never had the feeling that George was pushing us in a direction to benefit his own interests. He listened to us, and helped us throughout the entire process, from the beginning to the end. Highly, highly recommended. George is absolutely amazing....from the moment you meet him, until your closing...and beyond.

I have had the pleasure of working with George for the past 6 months on a short sale that I was…read morebuying. A month after I signed the contract, the listing agent told George that he didn't believe the house would ever make it to closing. Therefore, the listing agent was pretty much MIA for the entire process. George stepped up to the plate and took control of EVERYTHING which goes above and beyond what a buying agent is responsible for. I am so thankful that he is very experienced with short sales! George has put up with me calling him day and night for updates, concerns, and reassurance...and never made me feel like I was bothering him (even though I'm sure I drove him crazy more than once)! There was also a water issue that came up at the house that George offered and paid out of pocket for to ensure I was getting a problem-free home. I would HIGHLY recommend George to anyone who is looking for a very hard working realtor! I would definitely use George in the future!!

She was always available to discuss my options to help me make decisions when necessary. Her knowledge of the area is unmatched. She worked with my lender from offer to closing, always keeping me in the loop. Once under contract, she had great recommendations for home inspection, and real estate attorneys to keep everything on schedule. When things got a little dicey, she did a wonderul job negotiating on my behalf to get me into my home. As a first time home buyer, Heather is the one I wanted in my corner and she absolutely delivered!

Their is not another real estate agent on the planet that is going to out work Chris to sell your…read morehouse. I just finished using Chris for the second time. It was for a house that I was no longer living in and I was living 7 hours away. I explained to Chris that if he wanted the listing, he would have to do everything. What is everything? Be present at all showings, make sure lights are turned on and house is staged appropriately, be present for all work being done on the house(staging, repairs, improvements) and a weekly walk through to make sure nothing was wrong with the house. If I needed a suggestion on a repairman of any kind, Chris had someone to call. He would schedule repair, show up for appointment and supervise work being done. A couple of examples of things that I didn't ask Chris to do. He felt that my front patio was missing something, so he went out and bought two box woods for my front entrance on HIS dime. After my Home was under contract, we ran into a hiccup with a front porch repair. We were hoping to reuse the stone but it became obvious once the project started that we would not be able too. Knowing that it was a time sensitive repair, Chris drove out to the local quarries, found a matching stone, arranged delivery and secured the purchase with a credit card all in the same day so that work wouldn't be delayed. Who does that? I will tell you who, Chris! If you want the absolute best your money can buy, Call Chris. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely, James Smar

WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPECTATIONS…read more Absolutely the most helpful and dedicated agent imaginable. In my family's situation, Christopher Cobb went above and beyond any expectations one could place on a real estate agent after my father developed dementia and had to be moved to California quite suddenly. After one telephone call from me in California, Chris assumed responsibility for every aspect of selling my father's home, from cleaning up and preparing the home for sale, to selling the house for more than we had agreed upon, to handling all of the escrow details. Wow. During our family's time of crisis, the fact that Chris stepped in and took care of the sale of my father's house in such a professional manner removed such a level of stress so we could focus on my father's needs out here in California. Can you believe he even took care of shipping my father's car to us? Wow. I cannot say enough good about Chris. If you want a realtor that will give 200% and more to get your house sold or to negotiate just the right purchase price, Chris is your man. I will be forever grateful to him for his generosity and dedication.

We really appreciate her commitment to her clients and work ethics. We could not have asked for a better person to have guided us. Lori is truly a friend in a realtor suit.
