EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS! BOB PLESSINGER is the BEST!…read more I was very lucky to get introduced to Bob via Redfin in Dallas. I started using Redfin initially because 1) I was doing a remote search from San Francisco 2) I love technology and the alerts and open houses made it simple to tour homes Bob and I talked at great lengths over the phone about what we were looking. He listened with great care and helped us make suggestions. With Redfin, it's easy to tour homes. There were a few times, we went with another team member/touring agent because it fit into our schedule, not just Sat, Sun and Tues. After touring about 30 homes and condos, Bob helped us figure out neighborhoods and homes that would fit us because he listened to our needs. We initially thought we wanted to live in a high rise condo when we first started. So over time as we toured each home, I could see Bob inspect homes and give us advice about how to fix things up. He is extremely detailed oriented and knows a lot about home improvement as he himself has built/remodeled multiple homes. So as we narrowed down options, we finally put an offer on a house, but ultimately, we were out cashed. We put an offer on another house that we also loved and followed the process through. Bob patiently explained the whole process with inspections, earnest money, etc. He also helped us make recommendations on the offer price and down payment. Well 1 day before we would love lost our earnest money, I got a Redfin email alert that the first house came back on the market. With Redfin, we may not have known in time! Bob already went through almost the entire process to close on the 1st house and now we had to do it again! The one moment when I knew that Bob was the best agent was when we were driving in California and it was 11:00 pm so in Dallas, it was 1:00 am! Bob knew we had a touch decision and went above and beyond to speak to us and give us great advice. He was even able to negotiate some money back from the owners since the inspection was worse than we thought. Needless to say, Bob was there at every step, all inspections, closing and most importantly, he was there for us emotionally. I still stay in touch with Bob and he has given me more advice on pool, flooring and even furniture shopping! He is delightful to work and I highly recommend him! PROs: - Bob was easy to communicate with. He responded to every text, e-mail or phone call in a speedy manner especially given the distance and time zone differences. - Bob is extremely knowledgeable about the Dallas neighborhoods and gave us pro/cons. - Bob has a rolodex of resources for inspections, mortgage brokers, experts for AC, Pool, flooring, electrical, etc. It made the process fast and seamless and is now helpful as we already moved in. - Bob's entire team was incredible to work with - Pam, Sean and Justin. You don't just get 1 agent at Redfin, you get a team that works for you! CONs: - Bob has to sleep a few hours a night. Seriously, he worked non-stop to get this house for us, and we owe him our gratitude! Thank you Bob!

I could not recommend Porscha from JL Marsaw enough! Originally I did not want to use a realtor at…read moreall. I figured that it's 2019, and with sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Trulia, I could find exactly the house I wanted, figure out whether or not it's a good deal, and complete all of the paperwork on my own. Wrong! Without using a realtor we made an offer on our first house. We got it for $20,000 less than what Zillow and Realtor estimated. We thought we found a great deal until we sent it to Porscha for a second opinion. She completed a thorough market analysis and discovered that we were probably overpaying by almost $15,000. It's been months since that deal fell through and the house is still sitting on the market with a new price that's below what we offered. That's when we decided to use Porscha as our realtor and it turned out to be a great decision. She found us great houses in our price range that I missed even after searching for days. She quickly learned what styles we like and which items on our must haves list were most important, despite the fact that we're VERY particular about what kind of house we wanted. She came with us to tour the new build communities and help us figure out which communities actually offered the most bang for our buck. With each community offering different deals like 3% off, all closing costs paid, or discounts on upgrades, it can get confusing to figure out who was actually saving us the most money, but Porscha analyzed each deal. So every time we fell in love with the latest model home she was there to remind us of what the previous communities offered that this one did not. Eventually after weeks of searching we found a house that we liked and was almost $20,000 under our budget. Porscha had been with us long enough to know that the house had everything on our "must have" list, but did not have many things on our "like to have" list and knew that we just fell in love with the price and not the home. The seller even offered to increase her commission from 3 to 4%, meaning she would take home more than if we bought a house at the top of our budget. But she was more concerned with ensuring that we LOVED our new house. The same day she sent us a house that had EVERYTHING on our must have list, our like to have list AND MORE. The only issue was that this house was closer to the top of the budget. But she crunched the numbers and discovered that the "cheaper" house had a significantly higher tax rate and HOA cost. So much so that the more expensive house would actually cost less AND give us everything on our must have list. In addition, she was able to run the comps and negotiate over $12,000 off the asking price! She saved us hundreds of dollars on our monthly payment versus the "cheaper" house all while sacrificing a higher commission for herself. It was clear throughout the entire process that her only goal was ensuring that we LOVED our new home and we do! But her work didn't stop there. There's a mountain of paperwork and coordination that takes place between the time the offer is accepted and we get the keys, and she was on top of it all. She communicated directly with the seller and our lender to ensure that they were giving us everything we needed in a timely fashion. She negotiated with the seller to include additional repairs that were not originally offered, and expedited the loan process when our lender was dragging his feet. She streamlined the stressful home buying process and made it simple. We would have been in big trouble without her. Hiring her was a great decision.
