I was a first time home buyer who was dreading looking for a home that was the right size, good…read morelocation, and affordable. Jerome Ball helped guide me through the minefield of Los Angeles real estate purchasing and we bought a home that exceeded our expectations. Jerome's access, speed, research, attention to detail, and ability to close a deal are what I found to be qualities that separate him from other agents. When I first started my search for an agent, I contacted seasoned agents who had great reviews and specialized in certain areas I wanted to live in. What I found is that it took a day to get in contact with them and some simply we're too busy to look at new homes on the market. In the LA real estate market timing is incredibly important. Jerome understood those requirements and was incredibly accessible and very fast. Whether it was phone, text, or email, Jerome was always available to answer any questions or contact me with new information. He was also extremely fast to inform me of new homes on the market and show them as quickly as possible. Jerome was a very good researcher also. I was certain which city and area of Los Angeles I wanted to buy. However once Jerome understood my needs, he was able to find a new and upcoming area that met my same needs and was much closer to the area I worked. He was also able to manage my expectations. There were times when I was excited after seeing a home and I would want to put in an offer. Jerome would research comparables and also tax records to see if there we're any issues of concern and sometimes advise against making an offer based off that research. If I was with another agent who was just looking to make a sale, they would've just gone forward with the sale. Jerome wanted to make sure I got the best home possible. Jerome's ability to close the deal saved my thousands. The drama begins when you finally found a home and have to make an offer. Minutes after a home went for sale and before it hit Redfin and Trulia, Jerome notified me and scheduled a showing asap. By the end of the day an offer was in and by the next morning Jerome worked the sellers agent to get them to say yes. I can't tell you how important that was as the coming weekend would've initiated more views and probably much higher offers. Jeromes attention to detail further saved me thousands. I wasn't prepared for the roller coaster that was 30-day escrow. Jerome made sure to get the sellers' agent to agree to important addendums. Pretty soon there were costly repairs that came up where the selling agent would try to balk by saying "the house is sold as is." But it was Jerome's important addendums to the purchase agreement that made sure I was protected from those costs. I strongly advise you work with Jerome Ball if you are looking for a home in Los Angeles. He came through for me to help me purchase my first home and exceeded my expectations.

Jerome was extremely easy to work with and overall a great resource! As first time home buyers, he…read moretook time to help us understand the process, and even met with us several times to go over what we were looking for. He listened really well and always had our best interest in mind. The best part was how quickly he always got back to us, and often would set up house showings the same day they became available. Jerome was quick to respond even on weekends, and honestly was the key to our offer getting accepted on our dream home. There are a lot of realtors out there that get their license too easily, and Jerome was one of the few that you could tell really knew his stuff. We will be keeping his contact information for the future!

I've worked with Amy and her team across three real estate transactions and she has consistently…read moregone above and beyond expectations every time. The Cincinnati real estate market is pretty challenging right now and Amy has adjusted her processes to give buyers the best chance at winning a home with limited inventory on the market. Not only is she an expert in the Cincinnati real estate market having lived and worked in the area for a number of years, but she has built an excellent reputation with realtors here as well. Case in point, due to her excellent advice and relationships, we were able to make a winning bid on a home in a multiple offer situation even though we weren't the highest bidder. Amy has an excellent support team, from loan specialists, inspectors, and title agency. Everyone we have dealt with has been super communicative, eager to answer questions and all working together to support a quick closing that the seller was working for. I would have no hesitation referring Amy to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Cincinnati area. Amy is the BEST!

Selling a home from out of state can be incredibly stressful, but working with Amy made the entire…read moreprocess smooth, professional, and even enjoyable. Amy helped us sell my Mom's home while we were managing everything remotely, and we couldn't be more grateful. From day one, Amy was communicative, organized, and proactive. Amy handled every detail--from coordinating removing items, cleaning and anything else that came up to managing showings and paperwork--with efficiency and care. We always felt like the home was in great hands, even though we were hundreds of miles away. Thanks to Amy's deep knowledge of the local market and expert guidance, we received multiple strong offers and were able to close quickly and smoothly. What could have been a complicated, stressful experience turned out to be seamless. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely dedicated to their clients, I highly recommend Amy. Amy went above and beyond in every way.

Disappointing Experience with DIGS We hired DIGS with high…read moreexpectations, based on their portfolio and reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but smooth. The project ran more than 15 months behind schedule and significantly over budget. Communication was inconsistent at best. We were told to expect weekly updates--those never happened. We rarely received realistic timelines, and when delays happened (which was often), there was little accountability or transparency. What was sold as a collaborative and creative process felt disorganized and one-sided. We had to constantly follow up to get answers and push the project forward ourselves. If you're thinking about working with DIGS, ask a lot of questions up front, get every detail in writing, and be prepared to manage the process much more than you'd expect from a professional firm.
