My wife and I just closed on our home with Spencer. He was a great guide throughout the process,…read morehelping us sort through possible house options, and then landing a house that we thought we'd get beaten out on, since we were not the highest bidder. Once the seller accepted our offer, due to Spencer's amazing story, Spencer and his team were able to jump on it to get inspections and paperwork done to stay within the shortened escrow period. More than anything, Spencer was always available, which made the difference for us. In the morning or late at night, Spencer answered my calls and texts for my questions-on-questions-on-questions as well as breakdowns, cause buying a house is stressful. Spencer is not only a great real estate agent, but he has become a good friend. I appreciate all his work and effort that he put into our home buying process.

Adding Covid-19 into the mix really proved to be a challenge that caused me many many headaches. When I reached out to Spencer for help renting a property, I immediately felt a sense of relief. Spencer was calm, understanding, knowledgeable and professional. He was an excellent communicator and was able to find places that fit within my budget and specifications (which is hard to do because I was very picky). Spencer gained my trust during a global pandemic and he will be the first person I call when I'm ready to purchase my first home.

We lost out on alot of houses, because our old agent never explained the offer process. But Russel did and was even honest to us when our offer wasn't good, he was matching our subjective opinion to what was "objective". Within 2 weeks of working with Russell we found a home that we loved, and he took us from A-Z. He even recommended things for us to do that we never thought off to do. All in all we're happy and we'll be closing escrow in May!

I waited a while to write this review, but I just have to make sure that other people protect themselves

I hadn't done a real estate transaction in 20 years, so I asked my friend who is an escrow officer…read morefor a recommendation, and she referred me to Eric Baucom as a realtor. I'm so glad she did. I met with Eric in his office with information about the home I needed to sell and my questions about selling a property in trust. He was able to answer my questions, put me at ease and come out to the property very promptly to get it photographed and listed. With the declining market at Christmas time and the rising interest rates, I was very concerned our property would have trouble selling speedily, but Eric was able to find a buyer and close the deal for us in short order. He guided us through the process of counter offers with clever ideas. Eric is an excellent businessman and was always prompt about communication and problem solving throughout the process. Janet Baucom contacted me at the end of our business transaction, and she told me about their program of "giving back to our community." We chose a local organization, and they gave 10% of their realtor fees to them. I am very pleased with Eric & Janet Baucom's Coastlands Group and I would highly recommend them.

I'm beyond grateful to my former neighbor, who recommended Robert. My neighbor's wife used to be a…read morereal estate agent, so they can tell the great from the chaff. Where do I begin? Robert is the pinnacle of professionalism, calm under pressure, patient, and resourceful. The property that I'm selling is in Los Angeles, but I live elsewhere. The first time we met, I was 8 hours late because Amtrak was delayed due to a pedestrian getting hit by a Coaster train. Robert was nevertheless ready to meet me at the property, with a smile. He has gone the extra mile more than once. For example, he ran to my property to find the source of a water leak. He had assured me that, when executing a 1031 exchange, the value of the replacement property was determined by whatever the dollar amount was after the sale of the relinquished property, minus closing costs. My mom's accountant claimed that the value had to be the full selling price of the relinquished property. In the end, Robert was right. We have encountered some challenges--not one bit of our own making--in closing escrow, and Robert has been in the trenches finding solutions non-stop.

Robert met us the very same day (on a Sunday) to go tour a home in Westlake. I knew immediately why my relatives could not stop singing Robert's praises within the first few minutes of meeting him at the home tour. Over the next month most of the state, country and world shutdown over COVID-19, however, Robert helped me, a first-time home buyer, navigate such an unprecedented time. Robert was able to secure private, appointment viewings and always provided protective coverings (e.g., masks, gloves & booties) so that the sellers and we felt safe. Even though it was a strange time to purchase a home, after about a month, Robert helped us zero in on the perfect place. While the entire process of purchasing a home, applying/receiving approval for a mortgage, home inspection, etc. can be quite daunting, Robert was there each and every step of the way to ensure that not a single question of ours went unanswered. Robert's hands-on and comprehensive approach will make any home buyer, whether you are a newbie or a veteran, feel like you have an expert on your side. My fiancee and I have already told Robert that he is stuck with us (like it or not haha) because I truly could not find a better realtor out there than Robert and will be his client for life.
