Real estate agents are one of those things that you don't need very often, but when you do they…read moreneed to be chosen very, very carefully. They're controlling one of the biggest purchases of your entire life. For me, that means I'm not looking for some megalomaniacal white dude who's gonna bully me into moving fast or who's juggling a bazillion "very important and elite" clients. I don't need high-octane brobro energy in ANYYYY arena of my life but most definitely not when I'm signing away my next 30 years of earnings. I need someone guiding me through the home buying process who's competent, thoughtful, experienced, and curious. And for us, that was- every day of our process- Cassandra Yarbrough. Y'alllllll. We bought our first house on April 1st. You do the pandemic math. This was not a simple or straightforward process, and Cassandra helped us navigate it on a near-daily basis in a calm, organized way. At the start of our process, the housing market was tight. There were tons of buyers and not many houses which meant that we had to make our decisions very quickly. Cassandra was great about saying, "Well... this house is at the top of your price range. And I want to point out these couple of problem areas on the disclosure form. So just know that as you consider." She was never pushy and she never really gave me- a very intuitive people-pleasing empath- much of a sense of her opinion. WHICH I LOVED. She just gave us a lot of space to talk things out and guidance when she sensed there were things we weren't considering. When we did find the home we loved, she made sure we were the first appointment of the day when it went on the market. In the scary, pukey, anxiety-ridden process of putting in an offer, she helped us set the right offer based on her deep experience and our budget. She was in constant touch with the seller's realtor which helped us know what to expect. And y'all, so much of home buying is paperwork and processes that are way beyond my capabilities to understand or track, and Cassandra was really, really good at keeping things organized for us and explaining things when we got confused. It takes a very detail-oriented person to do this job well, and she nailed it. So now we live in this totes adorbs house. There's no way we'd be here without Cassandra. HIRE HER.

Mr. Mark Gettinger helped me in finding a great deal in Minnesota (I am living in the West Coast)…read more He also explained me in detail about the required process and paper work and prepared an offer that helped in competing with other multiple buyers and getting a right price for my new condo purchase. In addition, he communicated with the condo association and provided all required documents for set up the HOA payments on time. Moreover, he suggested to do the Mobile closing ( the notary came to my home for signing the closing paper in the closing date) which saved my time and $$$ money because I did not need to fly to Minnesota just for the closing. Mr.Mark Gettinger has provided an outstanding customer service. He commutated with my Closing company and Lender directly when I needed the information's clarification ( especially, the specific legal terminology). Furthermore, all the paper work and earning money sending were done electronically-it was so easy and accurate as well as saving a lot of my time and energy in this busy life. In Sum, the closing was done on time, and my Lender told me that they were impressed how Mr. Mark Gettinger was able to manage very professionally the condo purchase ( which is required more knowledge and documentation than purchasing a single home) and also for a Buyer who is living in the different state. I am recommending Mr. Mark Gettinger as a trustful, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional Real Estate Agent.
