I used Pedro for the purchase of our home and the sale of our home as well. My wife and I bought…read moreour new home in July 2024 and during this time many people were offering over asking price to the seller because of the competitive market. We placed a total of 3 offers on 3 different homes and one of them was $10,000 over asking price. We thought our offers were strong enough so that the seller can accept them but someone else would submit a better offer and beat us to it. My wife and I saw another home and wanted to put an offer that was $13,000 over asking price, but Pedro thought that we would be offering too much and we only went $7,000 over asking price. We were happy to hear that our offer got accepted and then Pedro helped out with negotiating a $2,000 closing cost credit for us too. Pedro was very patient with us and gave us the right guidance. Once we closed on the home purchase, we put our previous primary residence up for sale with Pedro. I thought we were only going to be able to sell if for $215,000 but Pedro sold it for $222,000. Thank you again Pedro and we will be using your service again in the near future to purchase an investment property!

Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

After our parents passed, my brother and I kept the home/house we grew up in as a rental. When it…read morecame time to sell it, our vision was clouded by history and preferences of retired guys. For us it was a home & not a building. Marco helped us choose a decorating scheme that attracted contemporary buyers and suggested a way to stage the living room that we couldn't have dreamed of. After the prep, he had 2 offers after 7 showings. One of them was full price and "as is". Marco helped with negotiations after the village's pre-sale inspection came back with requirements that would be found in new construction and were not common when the home was built in 1950. The house was listed after Labor Day and closed at the end of October. I recommend Marco as a realtor and would not look anywhere else.

Hallelujah y'all, my house is finally sold! The process was more stressful than buying a home and…read morewe are so glad it's over. We originally contacted Angie in the beginning of July. We wanted to work with her based on her sales history within this past year. At the time, her profile showed 59 sales. She had great reviews and with 16 years of experience, we wanted to work with someone who is a seasoned agent. Hubby did most of the correspondences and all were answered immediately. Being first time sellers, we had tons of questions, especially the whole logistic with living out of state. Angie assured us that she's worked with several out of state clients and explained the process to us. All the paperwork was done electronically, so that part of the process was super convenient. She did a home evaluation with my nephew and pointed out the updates that were needed. At that time we were not clear that the updates were pretty much required but we had thought they were just suggestions. Our plan was to do what we could and give credit for what wasn't finished. My nephew did what he could to help us out, but as the weeks passed and due to the amount of updates, we were eager to finish things up so we drove up there on Labor Day weekend in hopes of finishing up what we could. That was when we meet with Angie in person for the first time. She was personable and straight forward. She reiterated the updates and made us realize they're really not optional, such as painting the wood trim. She explained the painting is necessary since houses with peeling paint can not be shown to certain buyers, and we wanted to appeal to all buyers. Once the updates were completed, Angie set up a professional photographer to take photos for the listing which is included with her fees. We had an offer after two weeks and man, they tried to low ball us. It was ridiculous. We countered back and forth and finally came to an agreement. In hindsight, we probably would have gotten back more if we listened to Angie, but were motivated sellers and didn't want to lose out on the deal. Any problems that occurred along the way (and there were many), Angie went above and beyond took care of them all. She is a workaholic and provided excellent service. Despite a personal emergency towards the end, she still did not let up on the follow-ups and stayed on top of the file no matter. We would highly recommend her.

Rich is a COMPLETE waste of time and money. He is a tomorrow guy. He'll always do it tomorrow. If…read moreyou push like crazy, I mean CRAZY, tomorrow will maybe, eventually come, but good luck. We hired Rich to do a border survey. After a couple of months of pleading, nearly begging, he finally completed a plat for us to record with the county. It took a number of other over promises to finally have him stake the property. After many 'tomorrows,' the border work was finally completed; BUT... Next, we needed Rich to do a topo survey for grading work. After being over promised way too many times about getting to it 'tomorrow,' and with work stuck in line behind waiting for completion of Rich's work, we finally accepted sunk cost to go with a different firm. Sunk cost? Yep. Rich was a complete waste of money because the border work he was paid to do had to be redone by the new firm putting their name on the plat of survey to then do their topo survey. Rich was a complete waste of money and time. If you want a surveyor that over promises, but under delivers, Rich is your guy. If you want to waste your money, Rich is your guy. If you like to waste your time, Rich is your guy. If you like to beg and plead to get work done that you hired to get done, Rich is your guy. If you like sunk cost, Rich is definitely your guy. Don't be fooled by his over promises. Don't waste your money. Get your survey work completed by a different firm that delivers with their promises.
