I've recently sold my Ann Arbor home with Nate as my agent, and let me assure you that Nate is the…read morereal deal. If you're reading this review, you must be where I was a couple of months ago-trying to get a sense of which agent will be your greatest advocate in your real estate transaction. I met with several real estate agents in my search and decided to go with Nate. I'm so glad that I did. The first thing I noticed was Nate's honest appraisal of my situation. He didn't try to up-sell me or promise me the world; his advice was earnest and reflected his years of experience in the Ann Arbor market. I was living 2,000 miles away in California while the house was on the market. But with Nate as my agent, I was always in the loop. Texts, emails, home checkups, phone calls-- he was always available for my questions and to give his recommendations. Nate's a "Full Service" Real Estate Agent-- and he exceeds his reputation. It should have been difficult to sell your house from the other side of the country. Nate made it a breeze. His price recommendation was right on the money. As a negotiator, he was able to work with the buyers to get any issue resolved quickly. With his help, I was even able to complete the transaction remotely. But as an agent, he went well above any expectations I had. Allow me to share a story with you. At the house I've had stuff stashed in storage in the basement for years. Photos, books, personal knick knacks. When the house closed, Nate and his wife drove to the house to sort, pack, and then deliver my things to my parents' home over an hour away. WHO DOES THAT?? I was blown away by the level of service. Let me say that Nate Foerg is an absolute professional. Like you, I found him on Yelp. But his rating and reviews on here are well deserved. The guy truly goes above and beyond. And if I ever decide to return to Ann Arbor, he'll be the first person I call. I hope you do too.

Buying a home, particularly the first time around, can be a daunting, somewhat harrowing…read moreexperience. Luckily for my partner and I, we were in capable hands. Jon Gordon helped my partner connect with the perfect commercial/studio space earlier in the year. So when the time came to jump into the market for a home, we immediately thought of him. Jon mostly handles commercial properties, and is also an associate broker, so we weren't sure if he would take up our cause or pass us along to another agent. We were happy when we heard that he would indeed be our buyer's agent. We knew from the start that we had a good "gut feeling" about Jon -- he seemed to have enough experience in the business to know all the ins, outs, and everyone around town, but he also seemed honest, up-front and on the level, something I haven't always sensed in my interactions with other agents. Throughout the process, we were glad to have Jon representing us and going to bat for us. He was a great listener and plenty personable, but could get tough when the situation called for that approach. And, of course, the situation did at times. We honestly could not have been happier or had a better guide through the process of first-time home ownership. After this positive experience as well as the positive experience with my partner's commercial space, I'd recommend Jon or any agent on his team that he personally recommended in a heartbeat.

He was very flexible with us, i.e. was willing to list our house for more than he thought it would get and was willing to put in an offer on a new house for much less than the asking price. After we closed on both houses, he went out of his way to take care of a small issue we had with our new house. Just to be clear--he had already received his commission, but he still went way out of his way to help us out. At some cost to himself. We would definitely work with him again. He's a really good, decent human being.

This last time we had the highest bid and no contingencies on our offer. She personally told our realtor 'we had the house'. All documents were in order. That day our realtor tried to contact her about delays, with calls, emails, texts. Radio silence for a day and a half! Finally our realtor was told that someone 'matched our offer,' and they got the house. This was a one of a kind home that my husband and I would have lived our life out in... I emailed her and asked for a personal apology and never got one. I can't prove anything, unfortunately. But I think she used our bid as bait to get another party to revise their bid for some type of profit. This was very upsetting and I'm still furious.

After having bought and sold real estate in five states, this is absolutely the worst real estate…read moreexperience I've had. I'm used to dealing with multiple offer situations, and with large agencies. After telling our agent that we would be the sole offer going forward if we increased our offer by a small amount and changed a contingency on meeting the gap in appraised versus selling price, Nancy Bishop refused to work with our agent on finalizing the paperwork. Our agent then informed us that another offer had been accepted, and he was exasperated by her tactics. As you can see from another yelp review, she did exactly the same thing to another buyer in the previous year. After we complained to the general manager of Reinhart, that person defended the practice and the agent. You should NEVER place an offer on a house where Nancy Bishop is representing a seller. This is the most unethical agent I've encountered, ever.

One star is generous…read more Our experience with Linda -- who, oddly enough, is a co-owner of the agency -- was beyond disappointing. We hired her to sell our late mother's home, during an already difficult and emotional time. Initially, she seemed compassionate and competent. But the moment we signed the contract, she vanished. We went weeks without communication. When we finally brought it up, she responded with an offensive and insensitive excuse that I won't repeat here out of basic respect -- something she clearly lacks. Even our late mother was disrespected in the process, both in her words and in her complete lack of empathy. At one point, Linda even confused our property with another client's -- her own buyer's specialist had to step in and correct her. That showed us how little attention or care she gave to our situation. Referring to our mother's belongings as "junk" was another degrading moment we'll never forget. Accessing the property became a struggle because she refused to give us access without a code -- and since she never answers her phone or shows up, that became a nightmare. All of the actual work fell on her buyer's specialist (who, to be clear, was the only professional one in this ordeal). Linda didn't even bother to attend the closing. Excuse after excuse, absence after absence. What hurts the most is that we were grieving and needed someone reliable and respectful. Instead, we were treated like an afterthought while she collected a commission check she barely lifted a finger to earn. If you want to be ignored, disrespected, and treated like a paycheck instead of a person, hire Linda. Otherwise -- for your sanity and dignity -- look elsewhere.

The response on this review is incorrect. Unfortunately instead of accepting their mistake and…read moreapology they justify their mistakes and this is the theme with the general manager, my agent and this response here. Again my agent gave me WRONG information. I am attaching a picture of his text and you can see that clearly he did not know about our non- homestead tax until July. The picture is for after I confronted him that the initial information he gave me was incorrect. Also we wrote our own objection letter with ZERO advice or help from our agent. He just shared our letter with the seller and did not negotiate those items, We Did. He even had no idea we are getting a new furnace. I told him that if he asked about that in advance we would pay the difference to install a high efficiency furnace rather than an 80% and he admitted he had no idea. Our agent tried to accommodate our constraints when it came to giving us tours. After we withdrew from our first offer (since the house turned out to be modular in the inspection), many texts and calls went unanswered or were answered really late. we value knowledge and considering Buyer's benefit in a buyer's agent (rather than early closing) unfortunately our relator John did not fully meet our expectation in that regard. If you are okay with receiving the wrong information you can choose them. Below I describe our experience with our agent : For the property that we purchased, I noticed the high taxes and asked him about the reason before making an offer. He mentioned it is because the property is non-homestead and we can change this status right after closing to prevent higher taxes. Given his incomplete and in my mind false information, I thought we can homestead the property and avoid high taxes right after closing. When I reviewed the taxes around the closing time I noticed that we are paying the high taxes and told him about miss informing me. He mentioned that it is only a three-month extra tax until Dec +/-$700 and was not worth negotiating. Again he was wrong because I called the township and noticed that the summer tax is still non-homestead and I cannot change that until July of next year. Long story short, either he genuinely did not know about this tax issue or he misinformed us. Both of which are unacceptable for an experienced realtor.
