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.

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.

They found multiple investment properties for us, advised us regarding bidding strategy for the one we wanted, and stayed on stop of it even after the seller went with another buyer. The persistence paid off as the seller contacted Amy directly after the other buyer walked which enabled us to secure the property without it going back on the market again for a competitive bid. She has also been helpful in determining which renovations are essential, gauging optimal rent based on the current market and actually finding tenants for our vacant units.

They found some houses that matched our criteria and we went to look at them. There was no pressure and they were very knowledgeable about everything. I can't say enough about them being so patient and really wanting the best for us. If you're looking to sell or buy I strongly recommend contacting them. We have been in our home a few years now, and love it. We also recently sold our investment property with them, and they handled all renovations & the process of the sale making it a hands off process for us. Thank you for everything and making us smile everyday about working with you.

I cannot speak highly enough of RE/MAX Suburban with Susan, Ron, and David Pickard!!! They have…read morebuilt a team and comprehensive network of professionals that know how to deliver in all aspects of home purchases. I went from thinking the possibility of a home purchase was 3-5 years away... to finding and closing on my forever home in 20 days with the Pickard's guidance, help, and assembled team. The Pickard RE/MAX Suburban Team was referred to me by a lifelong friend who has exclusively worked with the Pickard's over the past 15 years for home rentals, purchases, and sales. Initially my goal was to attain a 3-5 year home rental and then transition into a home purchase. After seeing the elevated rental prices with limited inventory, I asked Ron Pickard, "can I purchase now?" Ron answered "yes, let me show you how." From there Ron & David worked with an outstanding Mortgage Broker to create a comprehensive purchase & financing strategy that worked for where I was at and what I could do. David was able to help me find, negotiate, and acquire my "Forever Home". David assembled my purchasing team of Mortgage Broker, Lawyer, Insurance Agent, and Home Inspection that yielded a seamless closing within 20days of submitting an offer on a property that had 4 other offers. That ability for a rapid and low risk closing is what made my offer then selected option. Ron & David were ALWAYS very responsive, and made sure to fully answer or get the answers to the items I asked. They best part is they worked as a team so there was ALWAYS continuity in expedited action and delivery. Thank You Pickard RE/MAX Suburban!!!
