This review is for Bryan Hogge and Austin Hogge.
I am a homeowner who was really deceived by our real estate agent when we bought our very first home and it costs us thousands of dollars in repairs that should have been done. When we tried to back out, we were actually cussed out, told us we can't back out and then hung up the phone on us. We found out later that because she broke contract, we could have indeed backed out.
Needless to say, I have had trust issues with real estate agents.
When my 23 year old son wanted to buy a house, I was proud of him but that anxious feeling came over me because of my past experience with agents.
He was referred to Bryan by a co worker.
When my son brought us to meet Bryan, I was dubious. I automatically went into mom protection mode. Why? I just didn't want my son to go through what we did.
Upon meeting Bryan, he proved to be very professional and organized. He had a list of houses we were to visit that met my son's criteria and we went in an order that would not take us all over town.
After a couple of more showings, I started to warm up to Bryan and told him of my bad experience. He promised me that we would never go through that with him, or his son, Austin.
We met Austin on another trip to see houses and let me tell you, that young man is very much like his dad. Very honest. If I asked a question that Austin didn't know the answer to, he would tell me he didnt' know. He didnt' lie and try to fudge things over. He was honest and immediately got on his phone right then and there and got the answer. What I think impressed me the most about Austin is that not only did he tell us about the positive aspects of each home but also pointed out things such as hearing traffic because a busy road ran behind the house.. or that we might hear the noise from football games from the school two blocks away. I don't think very many people will call that to our attention and because of that, my trust with the Hogge team really clicked.
Bryan made sure that we got the best fair price for the house and his communication with my son and I was thorough. Emails, texts, phone calls.... we were in constant contact with him. No matter what time of day, if I had a question, he would answer me right away. And I wasn't even the buyer.
When it came to having contingencies done, Bryan made sure they were done to our satisfaction. He himself came over to inspect things and even though I've been very picky and again - protective - he was patient. I know I was difficult, I wanted to make sure everything was perfect so my son doesn't have worries. But he promised my son that things would be okay and you know what?
They were.
And when the house was officially sold, he texted my son with a "Congratulations, you did it!" to my son.
Even after the house was sold, Bryan still made sure that things were going smoothly for my son. He even sent a really great handyman over to help us with things that I wanted fixed that were not on the agreement for the seller to take care of.
My son is happy. He's got his beautiful new home and things could not have gone any smoother. And you know what? Bryan and Austin really changed my views on real estate agents.
Because of that, I highly recommend them. I REALLY DO. Smooth transactions, fair, honest, and most of all, INTEGRITY.
Thank you Bryan and Austin. Thank you for taking care of my son.
