I am disabled and have lived with my elderly mother since 2000. I had moved back to the house I…read moregrew up in after my accident, and for many years my mom and I listened to the Glenn Beck radio show. We had often heard advertisements for a Real estate agent by the name of Chip Hodgkins. Glenn always said that Chip could sell a house for what we were asking in a timely manner or else he would buy the house himself. We just figured that there was some sort of "catch", and didn't really give it a second thought. Whenever we tried to sell a car or do business with anybody, it seemed like there was always a "catch", so it kind of went in one ear and out the other. Regardless, Glenn Beck planted the seed which remained in both of our heads. In late 2024 we started seriously considering selling our house and moving. We looked into a real estate agent that was related to a friend & she came over to assess the house. Our house was almost 60 years old in disrepair and falling apart, but the only thing the agent seemed to focus on was the smell of cigarette smoke. She was pretty rude about it, and kept telling us that the smell alone was going to devalue the house by over $20,000. Things felt hopeless for us as we thanked her for her time and decided not to go with her services. We were both in complete despair. Sometime in late February of 2025, we decided to call Chip Hodgkins. A few days later, on February 26th, we met with Chip. He came over to try and help us out. He was well prepared with papers showing homes similar to ours in location and size, including the values and what they sold for. With a positive attitude and total confidence he pointed out all of the good aspects of our home and for the first time in years we had been given something that you can't put a price on. He gave us hope and piece of mind. We were very surprised to find that our house was valued much higher than we had been told by the previous real estate agent. Yet there were still lingering questions. "Were do we start?" I asked. "We would need a dumpster to get rid of over 50 years of accumulated junk." "I know a guy", he responded. And right there, only 20 minutes into the meeting, he made a call to somebody who owned a dumpster business. Chip asked the gentleman if he could stop over to assess the situation and give us an estimate of how much it would cost for a dumpster. The man arrived, then took a walk though the house and around the property. Once back inside, he took a moment and told us that his guys could not only handle the removal of junk, but also help with packing up a shipping container for the move if we needed it. Then he paused for a moment, and asked how much we were looking to get for the house. Chip told him our asking price and said, "What are you thinking?" to which he replied, "Let me take another look at a few things." He checked out the crawlspace and a few other things, pointed out some things that were wrong with the house that we didn't even realize, but reassured us that they could be easily remedied, and that his guys could even fix them. He stood there in thought again for a couple of minutes, then told us that he had bought a few properties so far, renovated and resold them. He had the resources to do it. Chip asked if he was interested and without hesitation the man nodded his head and said yes. My mom and I just sort of looked at each other in wonder. "What just happened?" I asked. With a smile on his face, Chip extended his hand and said to us, "Congratulations. Your house is sold." One thing I almost forgot to mention. The gentleman who bought our house told us we didn't have to worry about paying to have our junk taken away. All we had to do is pack up what we wanted to keep and he would take care of the rest. With a handshake and a smile it was done. All of this happened within an hour and a half. The next day Chip had all of the paperwork, and even found us an attorney to help with the sale. Chip Hodgkins has made multi-million dollar deals, but he didn't even make more than a few thousand dollars on the closing costs of our home. He didn't sell our home to money. He was there to help us, and did so with honor and integrity. Honorable reputation and Christian values is what Chip is all about. By March 31st our moving truck was packed up and we said goodbye to our old home. A check was delivered to us by April 4th and it was for far much more than we had ever expected. I don't know how to properly thank Chip for helping us sell our house, but I will be forever grateful, and I'll never in my life forget the four words he said. "I know a guy"

I had 3 other realtors before I met Bob and he far surpassed all of them, including one who was supposed to be the best in their (neighboring) county! He not only was super attentive to detail, extremely communicative, highly motivated/driven, very understanding, but he was also extremely patient as not many agents would have stuck by a first time home buyer looking for a farm type property on a single income for as long as he did! He has been nothing less than absolutely perfect and amazing! He will forever and always be my realtor! Highest recomendations to anyone looking to buy or sell a home or property!!!!!

On my first intro call with Tony, one of the partners, he must have spent at least an hour answering questions that I had since I was new the real estate investing and the Syracuse market. After I signed with them, the other partner who is on the ground up in Syracuse, Ed, put up with so many deferred maintenance issues from the people I purchased the property from. From fleas in the basement to replacing the roof...Ed was there to manage it all and get everything done in a timely fashion. Stacey, their real estate agent, rented out the 2nd floor within 2 weeks at market value after the rehab was done. Jennifer the office manager is always available to answer questions, send out paperwork, and help the tenants.

My former property manager was well intentioned, but out of her league, and my properties were paying the price. I found a listing on Craigslist of all places, and was relieved when I received a prompt, well written response. A long conference call was scheduled, and the rest is history! Tony and Ed had their hands full, we had many issues that needed attention and correction. We always worked together, handled big issues as they popped up, and have greatly improved the quality of our tenants and the ROI on our properties. Their monthly reports are always on time, Tony takes the time to put together a summary of what occurred over the past month, and their reporting is organized and easy to read. Payments are dispersed in a quick and orderly fashion, always. I own properties in several states, and dynamax is the gold standard I use to judge all other property mgmt companies. I am often asked for advice on getting into investment real estate, and I always advise newbies that a property manager can make or break you. I truly believe that a great property manager is usually more important than the actual property. Dynamax is that great property manager, don't hesitate to work with them!
