Lauren is that "someone". From her detailed intake process covering all the areas important to you as a buyer, to the first in-person meeting to flesh out your search strategy, all the way through the search itself culminating in the negotiations/purchase/closing on the property, Lauren brings what's necessary to make the process as smooth as possible. She's experienced, professional, proactive, and extremely respectful of her clients' individual situations.

I can't begin to tell you how great it feels to finally be back in a position that I have a home of my own once again. You helped to make that happen and your contributions are without question. The level of insight, expertise, hope and steadfast resolve that you displayed on a consistent basis helped to calm me and guide me through this process. Your recommendations on whom to build the team with were second to none as well! At the risk of sounding dramatic, I wanted say from the very bottom of my heart that I am grateful to know you and appreciate much about you. People like us can be (as I've been told), polarizing. I suppose that's a nice way of saying they either love us or hate us. I'm OK with that and have learned that I'm attracted to others like myself, with similar styles and values. I couldn't be happier that I know you. Furthermore, I believe that life is cyclical and that what goes around, comes around. You showed trust, kindness and respect to me during a time of of such deep change that you couldn't possibly know. That kindness was never forgotten. I couldn't be happier to know that I was able to provide you with business and that you were able to provide me with you (and Tony's) experience and service. I realize it's just a house, but for me, it represents six years of struggle, recovery and healing. I am so pleased and thankful that part of that journey began with you and in one of it's happiest moments, was shared with you. You're a good woman, mother, wife and business woman Nicole. You make contributions to people's lives every day in some way, shape or form. This, at minimum, is something to be admired, if not cherished. I'm proud to call you my friend and I couldn't be happier that we were able to do business together. I wish you, your husband Tony and your son Tony Jr. nothing but the very best of all things! For myself, my boys Kyle & Luke, and of course BigE, we thank you! We thank you! We thank you! -mM

At every step in our process I felt heard, supported, and excited to make my largest financial commitment to date.

You buy a property, gut it, and less than a month later (without renos mind you) you put it up for sale $250k more than your purchase price. Make it make sense. The most you should ask for is the purchase price you paid plus demo price. Whoever your agent is in charge of that property is also difficult to work with. He doesn't let anyone get a word out to have a normal human being conversation. Won't go near your agency with a 10 ft pole.

Wanted to look at an house and received the following message from the Realtor at John Greene…read more There is an up front fee of $50 to setup the viewing of the house, and a 3.5% buyers commission (non negotiable if you put in an offer) that a contract must be signed prior to viewing the house. While I understand the laws have changed around buyers commission and sellers commission fee, the percentage requested up front is more than the average commission received by sellers today... usually it's 6% total (buyer/seller) and 1% goes to the sellers company, and selling realtor gets 2.5% to 3.0% and buying realtor gets 2.0% to 2.5%. Even then everything should be negotiable between the buyer/seller which is what the law was changed to mean.. Would not recommend anyone deal with Amanda from John greene Realtor.
