TL'DR: Dean is patient, informative, friendly, tenacious and hands on, and he is THE reason I was…read moreable to find the perfect home for my family and I in one of the most difficult home purchasing markets our generation has seen. It's taken way too long for me to post this review. Partially because I was swept up into the excitement of moving into my new home, which Dean was invaluable in helping me secure, but also because I'm still processing the end of the long, emotional and sometimes complicated home purchasing journey we just completed. I decided to start looking for a home to purchase for myself and my disabled mother in early 2023, and knew that I was entering a market that was complex and competitive, a search made even more complex by my accessibility needs for mom. What I didn't know was that the first step of finding a realtor would be the first hurdle to overcome. It took me months of being ghosted by realtors, being told my under $1 million budget wasn't high enough, or not liking the presented strategy (which was basically for me to find my own house and call them and pay their fee when it was time to put in an offer), before a chance encounter introduced my brother to Dean, and after one meeting I decided to work with him. From the day we began working together, Dean was patient, informative, friendly, tenacious and hands on, immediately sending me listings to begin to gauge my likes and dislikes. I won't say I'm difficult, but I am very particular, and as a first time homebuyer I also started with unrealistic expectations. This kicked off a year and a half of home searching, with Dean dedicating most of his weekends to taking us on house viewings, never getting impatient with the process or my newbie questions. I did put in several offers, but lost them all to higher or all cash bids. The market was just a nightmare, with one house I loved so much I offered $100k over asking on it, going to another bidder who when to $150k over. And this was amongst 20 bidders. Needless to say, it was an emotional and sometimes painful process. I went into it thinking I was a well qualified purchaser who would find a home as quickly and easily as they do on House Hunters, but I quickly found that despite my healthy salary, my downpayment as a first time home buyer was losing to people who had much more cash from selling their previous homes. At one point I even got discouraged and gave up, pausing the search for a few months, but when I called Dean ready to jump back into the fray at the beginning of this year, he didn't hesitate to continue helping me, and I ended up finding an amazing home that met all of my personal needs as well as all of my family's needs, including ada accessibility for my mother. Dean was instrumental in this deal closing, going above and beyond to find me a lender that would pre-write my loan so that I was competitive against cash offers, as well as my entire top notch closing team, from inspector to lawyer -- and yes I know most realtors have these connections that they push for a kickback, but I researched everyone Dean recommended and they were all best in class in their area. It is still surreal that I am officially a home owner after this long journey, and I have Dean to thank for carrying me through. I'd 100% recommend working with him.

I saw the house for rent on their website and asked to see the house. Never got the answer from them. Texted again - no answer.

We moved on, found another agent, and now we decided to actually buy a house instead of renting it. But not with this agency.

Along the way, Melissa was positive, proactive, and knowledgeable. Throughout the process, she communicated with us very clearly and regularly to keep us updated on the market. Having a realtor who is as plugged in as you are for a search is not something that should be overlooked. She was always easy to contact and available to answer all of our questions (we had a lot). To put it as simply as possible, we appreciated all of her hard work and effort every step of the way. Melissa was truly there from a-z for us.

I had called from my job one day to ask a question about listing fees and blocked my number because I didn't want sales people calling me. Somehow the owner not only got my number but got my name and address as well as other family members info and called me back and wouldn't let me off the phone. I had to hang up on him. They listed a house for my parents and never once even did an open house! For the listing fees they charge they did nothing! If you want to actually sell your house do not list with them. If you like to get bullied or feel like you're dealing with a used car salesman then they're your realtors.
