When I decided to purchase my first home I opted to go with Theresa Leland at CBG, the agent who…read morehappened to be listing the house I was interested in. She represented myself and the seller. I highly recommend a dual-agent. Especially if you have a time crunch like me. I had to be moved out of my apartment by July 31st, and she basically told me that it could be done, even though we were starting early July! I was cautious but decided to trust that it could be done. We also used US Title which is in the same office as CBG. We toured the house and met our agent and everything went well. It was the last house we toured and I decided "this is the one!" We told her we were serious about making a purchase and showed her our pre approvals. She made the process very easy to understand for me, a first time home buyer, which I really appreciated. I had to go out to her office a few times to sign some papers which wasn't too much of a hassle. The only issues arose when the seller wasn't communicating very well but that really wasn't her fault. She worked great with our lender who happened to be in Florida, not Missouri. She gave me pointers on scheduling the inspection and how to present my requests to the seller in the contract. There was a slight two day delay on closing but judging from stories I'd heard from others about home closings, this was nothing. We moved into our house in only a few days and everything went pretty darned smoothly. She even gave me a little present at the end of the closing which was really sweet of her (literally, it was for the chocolate shop next door that I tended to uh visit way too much when I went to sign paperwork!) ;P Overall, I'd recommend CBG. Yes, they do charge a "fee" of $250 which is really odd considering the agent doesn't even get that--and they call it a "commission" fee too-- but I was willing to overlook that considering the level of service we got. I'd highly recommend Theresa Leland as an agent. She will definitely go above and beyond to help you buy or sell a house!

I found a house to buy fairly quickly with Marisa and the process that can be very stressful was much easier with her help. She provided honest and practical advice and helped with setting up appointments for contractors and inspectors which was extremely helpful.

I would definitely use Marisa again as my buyer and seller agent the next time I move!

Marisa had helped us buy the house that we sold this year. She was great in getting the house…read moreprepped and marketing it. But things started falling apart as soon we got an offer ( before even the open house) . There was a lot of nervousness that she relayed to us and an uncertainty about the price of house ( which was priced based on her recommendation - lower than what we believed the value to be ) . The inspection revealed few issues which is normal for 100 year old house but that led to really no negotiation at all from our side. She scared and bullied us to not negotiating a single ask on the inspection sheet and we signed without getting some estimates launching into an even more rigmarole while trying to fulfill the contract. At one point of time , while questioning the bill of n contractor as well as telling her that we needed to spend time with family and could not meet her , I was told that I am making a drama and she only communicated with one home owner . We had another issue come up that required an amendment which was not agreeable to us and we wanted to negotiate further . But Marisa became very nervous and was literally threatening us that if we did not sign this this buyers will walk away etc. This was one of the most stressful periods in our life and we had to hire a lawyer to help look out for our interests in selling our own house. Marisa did not look out for the interests / needs of the sellers. Yes we sold the house at the asking price but we spent a lot of unnecessary money to make it happen and the process of selling a house we loved became a torture. It is a stressful period for any homeowner and the real estate agent should help us look through all options , understand the impacts and let us make the decisions in a calm way . Any home selling and buying is a negotiation and as an agent she should have understood our needs .

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with an agent within The Robb Group, without even ever…read moremeeting her in person or seeing one single property, she discriminated me on my price range that I was considering. Let me explain, I am a professional woman with a high level of financial security. I am new to STL and a very qualified buyer. I was referred by a top agent from the KW REalty group in Denver (note: same company) After being pawned off on another team member (no big deal) I was finally ready to start my search... Again, I am new to STL and the housing dollar goes much further here than Denver so I opted to want to explore several neighborhoods/price ranges before I commit to a big house and mortgage. I have a generous budget for the Midwest. But again, I am a single professional woman with zero desire for a big home/mortgage. Despite my telling this agent that I really wanted to explore multiple price points, she continued to only send me listings at the high end of the range. OK, fine. SO I sent options back to her. And although we had a date to finally see a property (Near her so she wasn't too put out) she told the Denver agent that she didn't want to work with me because of the price points that I was considering. Isn't that some form of discrimination in this business? Seriously, I NEVER EVEN MET THIS WOMAN, but she was so concerned that she was going to have to pay a referral commission to my agent back in Denver (on a lower budget) that she discussed MY BUSINESS with the Denver agent, stating that she did not want to work with me because I was expressing interest in lower price points. Again, I NEVER EVEN SAW ONE PROPERTY! Talk about counting your chickens before they hatch! Anyway, here's the deal... YOU HAD A QUALIFIED BUYER! A GOOD salesperson would've shown me the silly little house that i wanted to see, PLUS 3 additional homes - better, more expensive homes. Use the Nordstrom Shoe approach - the customer asks for a simple black pump - the salesperson brings back two other pairs you may like! DUH! And keep in mind - I NEVER EVEN MET HER! She never showed me a single property, and I am a sure thing! I just moved here with a lease ending in August - I am not playing around! And PS, You don't know me or my situation in life, the potential next homes that I may buy or the future referral business that you may have gleaned from this transaction from both the original Denver agent and me. THIS IS A BUSINESS THAT SURVIVES ON REFERRALS! So In a nutshell, agents are a dime a dozen, find someone that meets your needs. I would absolutely not recommend Gabrielle De Hart with the Robb Group or anyone in this group considering that this is a best practice amongst this team. In an age where this profession is largely becoming obsolete, you would think they would actually try to keep potential lifelong customers happy.
