Since the house…read morewas a new construction I was able to select the flooring, fixtures, and added a few things. Mr. Dubea and Ms. Linda were a blessing. Ms. Linda walked me through everything, from my options as well as what other items were available. She found items i was wanting even when i knew they were challenging to find. She helped me so much and I am greatful for her help. Mr. Dubea made everything I selected to happen. Even though there is no need for Mr. Dubea or Ms. Linda to have anything more to do with me, they offered to be there if I had any questions or needed any assistance. The end product was a beautiful home God has blessed me with.

Overall, by RGV standards, this builder builds a decent house... however he doesn't like to stand…read morebehind his work. Even though you receive a one year warranty with your home purchase, he fights you when it comes to fixing things! Our backyard started to sink in several places, causing the grass to flood and die... and as the ground sank, it made the sprinkler heads stick way out of the ground. Majority of the sinking was directly along the irrigation lines... In other words, you can see where the piping was laid without even mapping it out. He claims it was our dog that made the ground sink... In perfect symmetrical lines leading to the sprinklers- lol. He tried defending his work by pointing out that it was sinking along another irrigation line but that the grass hadn't died in that spot... It's like he believes as long as the grass can grow over the trench, it's quality work. In the end, he said he doesn't cover the yard in the one year warranty. But in reality, it's not just yard issues he fights his buyers on... We've been in our new home for a little over 5 months and he just recently finished replacing our fireplace after he broke the initial one during installation. At first, he fought replacing the fireplace as well until we took it apart in front of him and proved that he had never removed a cap that was supposed to be removed and had screwed it down into the regulator, breaking it. He is gaining a bad reputation when it comes to repairs and doesn't always stand by his promise to build a "quality home".

We sincerely wish that this could be a more positive review... But sadly we are so disappointed in…read morehow our house was sold. We originally started at $159, 000, A number that was very fair and comparable to others on the market. Our agent Lisa Graves reassured us that this was a very strong number and we could easily achieve it. We put a lot of trust and Lisa as we were far away in a neighboring state. We trusted her to try her best and communicate. Unfortunately, this was a huge issue. There was such a delay of from posting photos that we took, to saying that there was going to be an open house and actually never took place and her not communicating and people going and her not being there, (there was but 3 if that open houses in 6 months), never sent us the Eblast or paper mailings we requested that she said she was ending our to hundreds of people, to us having to explain why our property is worthy when she should know the justification and how to position it in front of the the clientele. We ended up taking a 30,000+ cut from the original asking price. This was supposed to be an investment and to a certain point we understand that things don't always work out and losses are a given but such a significant one was hard to deal with. During the closing process. Lisa made it really difficult. She would call for questions that shouldn't have had to be awnser. We felt we had to do the work and not the other way. Let's say it was hard giving up that commission. She texted and we were completely out of the loop. You would think an agent would call at the initial stages. We heard more from the title company than Franke Realty and Lisa Graves. It was a really cold closing and our minds and hearts were not at ease. We just wanted to be "done." Please consider her integrity and if you do go with her, make sure you are really upfront and on top of things. My mom and dad said they would be happy to not bring up her every again and forget and move on. We sold for 125,000.

She was very organized when it came to scheduling showings of the house since we lived there still and had pets to accommodate. Our house sold within the range we were looking to sell at, and sold within one listing agreement time period! (which is within 6 months, wahooo!!) We couldn't be more satisfied with the services Lisa Graves gave us through this journey, and we highly recommend her! Thank you Lisa!!

We gave Craig our trust and he did not disappoint…read more We are transplants into the valley and knew very little of the area. I hired Craig right after our first conversation because it was obvious that he is intelligent and has intimate knowledge of housing market trends in the valley after many years of experience building his practice. Craig arranged for six showings that very afternoon, and we were able to quickly make an offer on a home the following weekend. From that point on, the whole process couldn't have been smoother. He project-managed the whole thing from beginning to end, bringing all the respective agents together to ensure we closed on our home in under 30 days. Craig was willing to spend many hours of his time on the phone with me throughout the process. We discussed updates regularly as he guided us on the tasks we needed to accomplish along the way. I particularly appreciated his council as we discussed offer strategies and home repair negotiations prior to close. We were very happy in the end with the deal that we got, and Craig delivered that deal for us wrapped in a bow. Craig represented us completely with our interests in mind. Though my partner and I are educated well enough, neither of us have the instincts to manage the complexities of purchasing a home on our own. We were particularly challenged because we still lived in another city and couldn't travel to the valley to personally inspect. We made our first trip to the valley to find a home, and moved into our home on the second trip one month later. Craig was essential in navigating this complex process so smoothly on our behalf. Simply put, Craig is an expert who has our trust.

Before the week of our stay ended, she has given us contacts to have his artwork shipped to me, found a haul-out and cleaning crew, found contactors to repair what was needed. Title and escrow were a breeze - all done via computer and a traveling notary. We closed in 5 weeik over asking price. Carly gave me text and email updates. I wish all my real property transactions were this easy, especially fro 1800 miles away. This is truly a exceptional, outstanding group to work with.

As stated to him, if owner was being unlawful he should of brought the police fbi or cia..but no he let his anger dictate his actions in a very antagonizing way. He came to remove his sign and lock on a Sunday and Monday the house was to become the owners. Funding was with title company, instead of using abusive language and aggresive measures he came in like a pit bull! There was no need to have been confrontational, demeaning and threatning. He could of made his anger and dissatisfaction in a different tone ..he chose the negative way. this is not a person or business that i would want to have nada to do with if he cannot handle himself in a professional manner. he chose to act like a thug!

The process had the potential to be tricky but Ryan's knowledge and experience and patience helped make the process smooth and painless! We cannot recommend Rocking K Realty, and Ryan Busse, more!
