I was lucky enough to be referred to Jason via a dear family friend after searching for several…read moremonths with another agent that just didn't quite suit my needs. It ended up being one of the best decisions I made in my entire home-buying process! As a first time homebuyer I was a bundle of nerves and uncertain of just what was realistic for my price point in this area. Jason made me feel right at ease by sitting down with me to plot out a plan of attack and allowing me to voice the parameters of what did and did not work for me in a home. I never felt as though I was being rushed or that I was just a paycheck, entirely the opposite in fact. When I told Jason that I was planning on looking for as long as it takes to find the right place (perhaps a year or more) he didn't even flinch. When it came time to move on the place that was to be my future home (after just two months of my search with him), Jason laid out the steps right in front of me and was always available when I needed him. I know I was not the easiest of clients, but he never made me feel as though as I was as high maintenance as I undoubtably was. He is a true gem in the real estate business and I will most certainly be using him for all my future home buying and selling needs.

The short of it: Jason Cook is spectacular. He is friendly,…read moregenerous, and knows his industry top to bottom. He was always available to answer my questions and was transparent from beginning to end. He made our first-time home buying process so easy that I'm still dizzy from how quickly he got me moved into my house. You couldn't ask for a better person to shepherd you through the process. The long of it: Almost seven years prior, in 2013, I had started the process of looking for a home without really understanding the homebuying process. I met Jason serendipitously at a home I was viewing and I immediately took to him because of his sense of humor, honesty, and helpfulness. Jason and I met up a few times in 2013 to view houses, and when I realized that I wasn't ready to buy a home, I tearfully let Jason know I had to get my affairs in order before we continued. I felt terrible about wasting his time, but Jason was supportive and seemed to genuinely wanted the best for me. Six years later, at the end of 2019, I was ready to buy again. I tentatively reached out to Jason ("hey, I don't know if you remember me!") and told him I had my ducks in a row, pre-approval in hand, and was finally ready to buy. He told me he DID remember me, and that he had thought of me the other day when he was showing a house in the area that I had been looking in in 2013. I'm so glad to have reconnected with Jason. We picked up as if there hadn't been a six year gap. He was as open and friendly as ever. Our pre-approval with the bank of my choice had been contingent on putting 10% down, which was more than I had anticipated. I mentioned this to Jason in passing in a, 'it may be a couple more months before we have enough to buy' kind of way and he immediately connected me with a lender that he trusted (Christine with US Bank). She ended up being amazing and had worked with Jason before and they worked together seamlessly to get me pre-approved at 5% down within the next day. Before I knew it, we were off looking at homes and Jason was never pushy, always patient with my random emails or texts popping up at whatever time a question would pop into my head, and was constantly thinking of us and our needs. My husband and I were pre-approved, we somehow managed to find our house the week following (seriously, we weren't in any rush, it just happened serendipitously), and we had mutual acceptance on our offer within 11 days. The timeline of quickly everything moved still blows me away! We closed in three weeks with the help of Christine and Jason had us in our house just after one month after the whole process began. His knowledge, guidance, and ability to be firm with the sellers while representing us cut down our search time AND we closed the house under the asking price. I could not honestly have asked more from any real estate agent than Jason, who is warm and caring, and really knows his stuff. If you're a first-time home buyer, Jason will guide you through the process with humor and transparency. Thanks for everything, Jason!

As a loan officer who's been in the mortgage industry for decades, I've had the opportunity to work…read morewith hundreds of real estate agents. Karen Jackson is one of the best! Karen is always on top of her game. She understands the market, communicates very well, and consistently writes strong, strategic offers that help her clients win without encouraging them to overpay for a home. This is a rare find in the industry. What impresses me most is how she balances competitiveness with her clients' best interests. Her buyers end up in the homes they truly love on terms they feel confident and comfortable with. From the lending side, I can also say Karen is organized, proactive, and a true professional throughout every transaction. She's someone I trust completely and always enjoy working with. If you're looking for a Realtor who is knowledgeable, ethical, and genuinely committed to her clients' success, I can't recommend Karen enough!

We were referred to Karen through a childhood friend. We only interviewed Karen and knew we were a match. She explained the process ins/ outs with simplicity. Karen worked with us through the entire listing , open house and closing at our pace. I would have to say everything with Karen was a NO !! No Worries !! NO endless questions unanswered !! NO concerns about her professionalism and commitment to us !! She was very compassionate and kind knowing that even though it was time , this was an emotional process, not just for us but our kids and grandkids as well . I would 100 % recommend Karen and hope that we have an ongoing relationship for many years to come !! Thank you Karen

Avana west hill has been the absolute worst experience I've ever had attempting to move into an…read moreapartment (we had to terminate or lease prior to moving in as it was so bad). When touring the apartment it was at a good price and was told verbally on multiple occasions that we would be getting a freshly renovated apartment. Because of that we decided to sign the lease. Once signed, they called me every week stating thing that they weren't providing anymore as we weren't moving until a month after we signed the lease. They first called me stating that they had to push back the move in date but if they did that, they would have to increase our rent prices after already signing the lease which I told them that wasn't going to happen. They then called later that day and said we wouldn't be getting new appliances and only the hard wood floors for the renovation. I hesitantly agreed to this. About 5 days later they called again and told me senior management stated we wouldn't be getting any renovations as they believe we were already getting the appartment at a good price even though they used the renovations as a reason to sign the lease. Avana provided no compensation for this and told us we could either take it or terminate our lease. Again hesitantly we were going to still take the appartment as we were getting a good price. Our last straw was on our move in day they called us 2 hours prior to our move in and stated that we could no longer move in that day due to pest issues and provided no estimation on when we could move in. Ultimately we terminated our lease and moved to a different apartment. Long story short, management here is absolutely terrible and never responds, Avana cancels promises that they make to you, and they have pest issues. I would recommend this apartment complex to my worst enemies.

A lot of theft in the neighborhood I discovered after talking to residents, they have only complaints about managemen. The company running these apartments is either extremely incompetent or just flat out does not care about anything.

My review for Tara is a pretty long but I wanted to make sure it was comprehensive. I have so many…read moregood things to say about Tara and I wasn't able to fit them all in this review. I broke things down into sections so you can get the gist of what I'm saying. She really does live up to all the hype. I HIGHLY recommend her. *Real-estate is one of her passions For Tara real estate seemed more like her calling than just a job to her. She is genuinely passionate about what she does, which is a very desirable trait in an agent. Ask her about how she talks contract strategies with her lawyer friends in her spare time; the aura of her enthusiasm will be tough to miss. It's the type of enthusiasm you can tell has been cultivated for a long time. When she fondly reminisced about how she used walk through half constructed homes with her father as a child, I knew she had found the right profession. The drive and energy Tara gains from her passion is a big part of what makes her such a formidable agent. *She can be pretty blunt and has a strong personality. She says what is on her mind and she will be firm (but not unyielding) about her views. If you are overly sensitive this might rub you the wrong way at times. She even admitted to me she is aware some of her clients feel this way. I think it takes character to own up to your criticisms. Personally I didn't see these traits as negatives. I think her bluntness makes her very easy to communicate with and more trustworthy. Furthermore I felt that her strong personality inspired confidence and is a boon in such a competitive vocation. She is the exact type of person you want to have on your side during negotiations! *She Emphasizes Quality over quantity Tara limits herself to a specific number of clients at a time. Despite being stellar at her profession, she has a finite amount of time and energy. By balancing her workload she ensures you get quality service. This is the type of realtor you want to have. Tara's goal is build a good reputation by investing in her clients. Tara's success rate is very impressive and her two Five Star Professional titles are well deserved. Being in the 95th percentile of one of the hottest real-estate markets in the country means she is doing a lot of things right. *She goes above and beyond Tara always puts in a 110%. She told me it's hard for her not to get emotionally invested in her clients, and REALLY wants to get them a win! If you are willing to go the extra mile, she will be there with you the whole way. This really paid off for me on the home we closed on. The owners were accepting offers as they came, and Tara managed to squeeze a viewing in that night at 10:00 PM. Earlier that day she had put another clients listing on the market, mediate a million dollar reroofing contract at her HOA board meeting and almost ran out of gas on the way to our viewing. She told me she had one of the worst days in a while. Despite being totally drained from all the days' hurdles she pushed through, showing me the house and then stayed until midnight doing market research so we could put in an offer the next day! Needless to say her extra efforts are what made my offer timely and won me the home I wanted. When things are moving fast Tara will make time for you. She was always reasonably quick to respond and would even reply at late hours or on holidays. When I say "reasonably quick" I mean that she did a fantastic job getting back to me while still managing her other clients. Don't expect to get 100% of her attention all the time, this is unrealistic. She will be there for you when it REALLY counts. For example I was forced into a pre-inspection on very short notice, 2 days from Sunday. I was terrified about getting a good inspector scheduled that quickly but Tara handled the situation like a champ. She asked some of her other clients if they could move their Monday inspection to later that week. It worked out well for them so they agreed. The inspector then filled his Monday slot with my appointment. Adaptability in such a volatile market is a crucial skill for a realtor to have! *Technical Expertise (house structure) Tara is very knowledgeable about how houses are constructed, and what good vs bad craftsmanship is. Tara built up her pool of technical knowledge through years of house walk throughs and a lot of hands on home remodeling. Being a very inquisitive electrical engineer Tara allowed me to visit her project home to see what the guts a house look like. Again I was VERY impressed with the knowledge she demonstrated and what projects she and her boyfriend had tackled. Whether it was re-framing walls, rewiring circuits, jack hammering and resealing pipes in concert floors, or jacking up their ENTIRE BASEMENT CEILING to weld in a city approved steel I-Beam support. She is definitely a technical minded person when it comes to homes and even cars!

October 28, 2016 To whom it may concern,…read more I've known Tara for around 20 years and when it came time for my wife and I to sell and buy a new home, she was our first choice. Working with Tara has been a wonderful and very professional experience. She was punctual and well prepared for all of our appointments. She was very clear and up-front about what costs and experiences to expect at each point in the process. She made time for in-person meetings, late-night phone calls, last-minute viewings, and was prompt, responsive, and thorough in answering all of our questions. When we sold our home, the experience at each phase of the sales effort was superior. She saw our property for what it was and advised a selling price for its true worth. She used innovative efforts to develop prospective buyers, provided useful insights on pre-listing renovations, professional staging, and photography. Tara performed effective showings and facilitation during the sale negotiations. All of these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were accomplished with a noticeable degree of competence, humility, integrity, and grace. She was extremely professional, helpful, and handled all as my wife and I were working and busy with a new son. Our house appraised and sold for more than the asking price and within the average time for our area. As we were shopping for a new home, she took the time to listen to what was important to us and selected a range of homes well-fit to our desires. She recommended a number of high-quality professionals to work with on the other aspects of our purchase, such as lenders, inspectors, and title companies, but always allowed us to make our own decisions on who to work with. She spent long days showing us homes, sometimes over a dozen in a day, for weeks so we could feel comfortable making an offer on a home we felt would be a good fit for our family. When it came time to write an offer, she led us through the process and was always present for important appointments such as the home inspection and title signing, in order to provide counsel and coordinate between the multitude of parties involved in making a home purchase. She always encouraged and enabled us to perform our due diligence before signing any contracts. The entire process, despite many hurdles, went quite smoothly due to Tara's management. Tara was very informative and it was obvious that she takes every action she can to protect her clients. She fought for us when needed and was always there to listen or to provide some advice. Above all, she made sure that we had everything we needed to make well-informed decisions. She was very clear about the laws, regulations, and standards of her practice. She constantly made sure that we were fully aware of all our options and their consequences. Overall, Tara is a fantastic realtor and made selling our house and looking for a new one a pleasure. We recommend her to all of our friends and family looking to buy or sell their property. Respectfully submitted, Andrew Aleshire

When working with them you are hiring a team of 12 to make sure all of your bases are covered. Isabel, Lydie & the Liv team are amazingly efficient, detail-oriented and did an outstanding job selling my home! I was kept in the informative loop constantly and emails/calls were responded to immediately. The selling experience was not only flawless, but also fast! They got my house ready for sale within 4 days. They listed it on a Thursday and had a mega open house Friday as well as Saturday. The Liv strategy and 19 point marketing program is beyond anything I could have asked for. The staging, photography, videography and more was all top notch. The quality of the photography/Video commissioned by Isabel & Lydie was superb and captured the experience of living in this home showing all of the rooms, the front/back yard and view quite accurately. The follow through throughout the entire ordeal was very professional and easy. After previously listing my home with a different agent and my home not selling, Isabel & Lydie decided to take me on as a client, aggressively market my property, negotiate on my behalf and within 48 hours of being on the market I was in an 8 offer bidding war situation and selling for 23k over asking price! From the very first meeting with Isabel & Lydie I felt like a valued client and felt that way throughout the entire process. I have no hesitation in recommending the Liv Real Estate Group as a company to go through no matter what size your home is. I will continue to work with the Liv team any chance I get and have already recommended them to some of my friends, family members and coworkers. It was pleasant working with Isabel, Lydie and the Liv Team! Thank you for such a flawless experience!
