Looked up 'best agents in CT' online, and her name was top of the list. Great reviews, so I called her. I had heard so many different ways to find an agent, "go to open houses" "ask friends" "read all the reviews online" I'm glad I ignored them all. Laureen is the best. She answered all my questions. Came over, asked what we had done to get the house ready for sale, made very helpful suggestions, timed the sale perfectly to when the market would be seller-friendly, and helped us find the perfect buyer. Sale went off without a hitch. I'm very happy with the person who did end up with my home, It's where I raised my boys, so much family history took place there, and I"m confident the right person is starting their life there now. I don't think it would have happened without the help of Laureen. I can't thank her enough, or praise her enough.

This review is specifically for Charles Woodin at Berkshire Hathaway…read more If you are looking for a real estate agent, Charles (Chuck) Woodin should be your pick. He is patient, kind, honest, and very realistic. He recently helped us find our home, and we could not have been more grateful for every minute he helped us. We were in a unique situation moving from across the country, limited with time to see houses and a short time frame to buy, but he was patient and walked us through every house we requested to see and really stressed that we should not buy a house based on pressure, but rather one we would call home.He answered all of our questions and if he did not know the answer he would find out and tell us quickly. He communicated with us through every step of the closing process and handled all the necessary tasks so that closing went smoothly. There was no pressure with him while looking at houses. He really wants you to be happy with your home purchase.

On December 11, 2021, I submitted a loan application to Lend Some Money to qualify for a hard money…read moreloan to purchase an investment property. On December 18, 2021, I received an email from a Loan Processor, stating the loan was conditionally approved. The initial closing date was January 26, 2022. This deadline was missed, while Lend Some Money had all the requested documents, I was told the file was still in underwriting. Because of the efforts of my Realtor, the seller was able to receive an extension to sell the property until February 2, 2022. I was assured by the Loan Officer, that the loan would close by the extension date. On January 28, 2022 I was contacted via phone by the Loan Officer, and informed that since I was not a current home owner underwriting did not approve the loan. Lend Some Money provided a preliminary approval which meant there was an initial review of my file but yet waited for 47 days to inform me that the loan was denied. Given it took 47 days for the lender to determine that I did not qualify for the loan, I have lost the $1,500 earnest money that I was required to provide to the seller. I was charged $49.99 for a background/credit check and paid $900 to have the property appraised. Also, I invested additional funds during the 47 days, I paid for an inspection and hired a lawyer. Additionally, the appraisal was initially ordered incorrectly. It was ordered to determine the "As-is' value only and I had to pay an additional fee to include the After Repair Value. Furthermore, when the Operating Agreement for my LLC was requested, I promptly supplied the document. Three weeks later, I was told that the additional members needed to provide a personal guarantee. I paid my attorney to expedite the process to update the document to remove the additional members. What is most disheartening about this experience is that Lend Some Money was made aware that the seller had a specific date to sell the property to meet the tax redemption deadline or the seller would lose the property. Due to Lend Some Money, not only did I lose more than $3,000 but the seller will lose the property. My credit score is in the 700's and I have a six-figure income that can be verified. While, I understand and cannot change the lender's requirements, I am certain that I could have found a lender that would have approved me to close on this property as I have purchased investment property before using a hard money lender.
