We interviewed several agents when we began the process, but Ben stood out as the best agent from the beginning. Not only did he come highly recommended online, and from friends, but he was prompt and impressed us immediately. Ben took an out of the box approach to selling our house, coming up with innovative ways to market our property to stand apart from others in the area. He got our house listed quickly and the listing stood out with it's professional-grade pictures, virtual tour feature, and home layout feature. Showing our house was seamless, thanks to the text messaging service that Hirsh Real Estate Specialists uses to easily notify you of requested showings and gives feedback once the showing is over. Ben always kept us up to date with feedback from prospective buyers and we always felt informed about the whole process. Once we got an offer, Ben was a firm negotiator, and got us a price we felt great about. From that point until Closing, Ben kept us informed and always gave solid advice, but never pressured us on our decisions to make. All of Ben's team, especially Michelle, are so helpful, friendly, and always willing to help or answer questions as needed. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Hirsh Real Estate Specialists to sell our home. They are THE BEST, and we will most definitely use them again in the future! Thanks to the whole team, but especially Ben!!

(sorry Ben) He was my agent on a recent home purchase in Buckhead and I could not be more satisfied with his dedication, level of service, knowledge and all-around commitment to making sure I got a good deal.

Matthew was there every step of the way from showing us homes, educating us on the different school districts, and assisting us with negotiating for the best price. He stayed in constant communication with us, our mortgage broker, and closing attorney to make sure the purchase of our home was hassle free. There were several instances when I completely relied on Matthew to coordinate between builder, mortgage banker and insurance agent. At closing, Matthew was there to give us support and to make sure we had a smooth transition into our new home. Even today (I purchased home in end of 2012), Matthew reaches us to check if we are doing ok and need any help. I would highly recommend my Realtor, Matthew Sipera, to any home buyer or seller looking to buy/sell a home in Cumming, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Roswell, and/or Milton areas.

First and foremost, Matthew is an incredibly patient professional. He understands that buying a…read morehome can take days, weeks, or even months and is willing to be patient with his clients as his number one priority is making sure that they are 100% happy with their purchase. Matthew is exceedingly insightful on all matters and able to make the home buying process as seamless and efficient as possible. Additionally, Matthew was not only encouraging throughout the entire process but he was also very genuine; making recommendations and suggestions for me along the way regarding factors I would have never otherwise considered. Although, Matthew was always professional, he also took the time to get to know me on a personal level. I believe that this allowed him to exceed my expectations when looking at homes as he got to know my past, quirks, and personality which he quickly learned to factor into our showings. I'd like to provide my highest endorsement for Matthew and my sincerest regards.

He went into countless crawlspaces checking out the vitality of so many homes - his knowledge and expertise of the actual construction of the house is invaluable. You'll need it - and most realtors won't know what they're talking about. Because we were looking from afar - he would make custom 3D walkthroughsof any home he checked out for us. When we finally settled on a house - that was sure to be competitive - he was steady and fair and smart about our approach so we would be competitive but not stupid about our offer. The closing process was hell but he personally ensured absolutely every i was dotted and t crossed when every obstacle from the seller's side was thrown our way. Kevin is an ace - I will recommend him endlessly. And will continue to call on him as a lifeline! He's been helping us get set up at the house before the big move even after all the paperwork is signed. If you're lucky enough to find Kevin, consider that one of the great miracles of your life - a sign of things headed in the right direction because you have a trusted guide by your side.

No other realtor would have worked as hard as he did and as long of hours as he did to make my real estate goals a reality. Kevin was persistent and available through the whole process. Even before he found the house I ultimately purchased, Kevin consistently sent me properties and met me at showings at all hours of the day. In this stressful seller's market, he could accurately tell me how aggressive I needed to be in each offer writing scenario. Once I was under contract, Kevin helped walk me through the inspection process and pulled strings to make sure repairs were done timely and at a decent price. I 100% would and will work with Kevin again and trust his counsel on real estate investment.

We were relocating to Atlanta and needed a larger home with a great yard and we only had about 5 weeks to find a home and get moved or we were going to have to rent, then move twice! Robert made sure we did not have to experience that. Robert had an initial meeting with us and took diligently noted our specific needs in a single family home, as well as our budgetary limitations. His firm is a member of two MLS systems which enabled him to research multiple real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale in the best school districts. He personally looked over the quality and structural conditions of all homes for us, and did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or out of line with our needs. We are not aware of any other realtor offering that level of experience and due-diligence. A master at contract negotiations, building codes, and new construction homes, Robert located a new construction home we liked very much and negotiated a great deal for us. We found his extensive experience as a Broker/Owner and New Home Construction Expert to be invaluable while dealing with our new home builder, overseeing and specifying upgrades and basement finishing details, and negotiating changes to protect us in the builders custom contract. Nothing escaped Robert's attention when it came to quickly locating ideal properties for sale, or negotiating contracts. Robert took an active role throughout our home buying process, and was always responsive with updates and easy to reach. He was particularly helpful in making sure all parties, including our lender and closing attorney were on track with contract terms and timelines. Finally, Robert followed up with us after closing to make sure everything was fine.

Five years ago, Dean helped our daughter and son-in-law purchase a house. Because he stayed in touch with them through the years, recognizing birthdays and anniversaries, when my wife and I moved to the Atlanta area last month, our daughter recommended him to us. We gave Dean a very specific wish list of house features - one that we did not expect to be fully realized- but, Dean's search was successful, and he delivered on every feature for which we asked. We moved cross country to be here and Dean helped us to find and make an offer on our new home within 48 hours of arrival. Dean helped us find a great finance company, and yesterday, we moved into our home - one month after arriving here. Thank you Dean for all your help.

During the summer of 2007, my wife and I started looking at new homes and townhomes in various…read moreAtlanta neighborhoods. We did all the search work ourselves, visiting many sales offices and websites. Since this was our first home purchase, we wanted to hire an agent to help us with the purchase. Preferably, one that would give us a partial rebate of the 3% buyer agent's commission. After many web searches, I came across Ronnie Orston at Hoffman International Properties. Her website detailed a program where if you bought a new construction home through her, you would get 2/3 of her commission (generally 2% of the home's value). I called to get details and discovered it was totally legit. Her feeling was that you were entitled to part of the commission since you did all the work finding the home. And with the web, it is quite easy to find all new construction homes in your desired area. We decided to sign with her. Since she would only be getting 1/3 of the buyers agent commission, I wasn't sure how much attention I would get. Well, she was amazing! She would often call and email to check in on us, and was very helpful whenever we called with questions (and we had many). She was also accessible late nights and weekends. Her professionalism and friendliness were superb. She was also a great negotiator, as we got a terrific deal on the home. We ended up buying a townhome in the Brookhaven/Dunwoody area, and received our rebate check from her a few days later (2% of the home's value buys you a lot of nice furniture!). Another bonus- a Federal Court has ruled these types of rebates are tax-free. Also, commission rebates are LEGAL in Georgia (look it up). A few local agents told me rebates are considered illegal kickbacks, but they are 100% wrong. In the end, Ronnie is a no-brainer choice for anyone who is buying new construction and doesn't need hand-holding in terms of finding new homes. Many buyers go into sales offices without agents, and demand a discount because the builder won't have to pay a commission. Sure, they'll probably give you a discount. But if you use Ronnie, you know you will be getting an additional 2% rebate on top of whatever discount you negotiate with the builder. If you have decent negotiation skills, this is the way to go.
