We are SO impressed how much research he did whenever we had any questions or concerns. He came through in everything we asked and more. Thank you Alan for your dedication, time and enthusiasm in everything you do. We're excited to see what more opportunities lie ahead with you by our side!

When it was time for my husband and me to put our first home on the market, Alan & Carlos were our…read morefirst call. Having met them through our local neighborhood association, we knew they were kind and upbeat, and the sort of people we believed could shepherd us through our first home sale. Not only was our intuition correct, but what they also brought to the relationship was great knowledge of the industry, current trends, and a transparency throughout the process that we really appreciated. And a great sense of humor! Always willing to answer any question or soothe any worry, they were available and supportive. And best of all, after only 6 days on the market we accepted an offer over asking and then closed on time a few weeks later. We would highly recommend working with Alan & Carlos!

We chose Donovan, Broker/owner of Edict Realty, as our buying agent because he had this 'no…read morenonsense' style of communication while other agents talked on and on for hours. We provided Donovan with a detailed list of what we wanted in a home, and his returns from that list, for houses for sale, did not match the list of requirements we sent him. We actually wound up finding a house on our own. From there, all Donovan had to do was make the purchase smoother by setting dates correctly, obtaining correct documentation, and talking with the Seller's Realtor as needed. Sadly, he didn't even do that. His communication style was abrupt and at times insensitive. His "no nonsense" style was actually that he just didn't care. We found out, after closing, items we asked to be communicated to the seller by Donovan were not. His communication to the Seller's Realtor was described as "rude" and also the only Realtor she's worked with that she has not spoken with on the phone. - His preference is texting. If we needed a response to an email, we had to text him. Donovan scheduled the final walk through of the home and failed to mention (until an hour before the appointment) that he had no plans of being there. It took about two days from the original final walk through time and a day prior to closing for him to let us know he was out of the country. We spent about a day and a half (up until the day prior to closing) trying to get in touch with him (calling) - to no avail. It was by a chance text message that we sent that he responded to, letting us know he was out of the country and that we should call the other Realtor to set up the walk through ourselves. Donovan also got the time of the closing incorrect and texted us the morning of closing asking why we were not there.. this was about 9am and we were scheduled to close in the afternoon. Overall his lack of professionalism, communication, and customer service were completely appalling. Would not recommend Donovan Lord / Edict Realty in any way!

I met Donovan through a platform online in October 2015 when looking for an architect to work with…read moreme on the design of a home I was going to build. I connected with Donovan through the creative process of envisioning this home as we walked through the dilapidated 1910 existing structure of the home, which years later is now where my family and I reside. Throughout the two year process from planning to building the home, Donovan was inordinately accommodating to multiple requests to make changes to the blue prints, or provide entirely new documentation for items requested from the city to get the house done. He set proper expectations and though he couldn't always drop everything on a whim, he communicated an expected date or range and did not throw anything at me when I harassed him for updates. In a word Donovan is committed. During the process of completing construction on the home, my husband and I decided to liquidate some of our other real estate. In July 2017, I asked him if he would help me sell the first house I ever invested in, however, it also required relocating my mother, her husband and my grandmother into a home that they could purchase with a Note/deed. So, we began the tedious process of gathering the information of what my mother's list was for a perfect home for her, which of course included the moon and stars as well. Homes sold as notes are extremely slim pickings in any city, however, Donovan flooded my mother and included me in the search of all sorts of homes that had some or most of the criteria or at least a prioritized version of it for my mother. All the while he is working with them to find them a home to move into that can be called their own, he assisted me in going through my investment home that I needed to sell and make the, again, tedious lists of repairs and updates that would bring the home into the correct decade and be appealing to buyers. Donovan has an impeccable sense of style and attention to detail, in general we share many of the same ideas as I'm a contractor/builder and we both get along amazingly well when discussing any sort of renovation or seemingly detailed project that most people would run away from or be immediately faint of heart. Donovan uses his intelligence to analyze the big picture. Yes, he would express what would be an "ideal" situation and be honest about items that he felt would be problematic even though he knew telling me would be cumbersome or a lot more work than I generally wanted to do. However, the trust we had built in each other's ideas and work ethic made it easy to banter back and forth and develop an effective plan of action for the list of items I needed to get done with my property, and for the list he had to work with on my mother's new home. We ended up getting a contract in 3 days after listing the house, first time home buyers that pulled out of the contract when the inspection came back with very minor items that were actually addressed the following day. I knew there just wasn't anything to do about skittish buyers, so Donovan went back to work to blast more regarding our house and again we got a contract on it that stuck within 9 more days after it went back on the market active. We closed the sale of my property early October 2017, and within 6 hours closed on a perfect-for-my-mother property as well. He negotiated my mother getting several days to move and handled the double closing. Donovan does not believe in "fluff" as a good working policy. He works efficiently through technology (phone, email, etc), and will not waste time going to the feel-good appointments with you or closings. These items are not truly in the scope of a real estate agent. What always stands out to me with Donovan is not where he didn't go with me to (i.e. a closing), but more of how we were able to work together in some cases for very long objectives and he stayed committed. He came back for more of my punishment when that house we started building still wasn't finished when all the above was going on! Yes, we've had discussions we didn't always agree on, we've gotten on each other's nerves throughout the projects and years, but my respect for Donovan's work ethic and sense of commitment has never wavered. There is more though. Once the house we were building was actually 100% completed, or at least enough to get occupancy (didn't have grass yet) in January of this year (yep, 2018), we moved into it. Now, we had a 1916 home next door to us that we needed to sell. Once again, I brought Donovan over to walk-through with me and go over what I had in mind to do. This was not like my investment property, this is a 3100 sq ft home with guest house, well house, historic neighborhood and sitting on almost an acre of land in the heart of Carrollton. We needed this to be a homerun, personally and financially for my family and business. We closed on 04/20 this year, and Donovan is my permanent go-to partner in business and all things real estate!

We contacted him a little over a year ago to manage our rental home in Richardson and we haven't had to worry about a thing since then. He is very knowledgeable and well-connected in the community, which made the leasing process very easy for us homeowners. He quickly found well qualified tenants for our house - his screening process is very thorough and, as a result, we never had to worry about our tenants not paying rent on time. He is also extremely efficient.. whenever there was a minor repair/maintenance needed, Kevin would be able to get a contractor to assess and fix the issue within days. Living in California, we needed a property manager that we can fully trust because we're not nearby to check on the house. Kevin is VERY responsive to communication, I'm actually not sure if he ever sleeps. When we had an issue with our water heater, Kevin was on vacation and he was texting us from Paris and London! So yes, he really goes above and beyond! I appreciate the effort that Kevin puts in to make sure we are kept up-to-date on everything going on with our house so we don't have to worry about it. Kevin is a fantastic advocate for homeowners and renters alike, and I HIGHLY recommend him for your property management needs.
