Charlie did a great job selling our house for us. He brought the buyers quickly, and shepherded the sale process from offer to closing. Hes a smart, honest, and personable professional. Hes the best agent Ive worked with in 40+ years of home-buying and selling, and I recommend him enthusiastically.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie did an amazing job for me. I was definitely a challenging renter because I was looking for a house while I was in Iowa and Charlie was fantastic to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie was great, We looked at numerous houses, he was always available and timely. We really appreciated the honest assessment of properties we looked at. We never felt pushed into a house or like he was a salesman. It seemed he really wanted to help us find the right house for us. No matter how long it took.

ZillowVERIFIEDI would not hesitate to recommend Charlie Goodridge for your Realtor needs. From the beginning, he was responsive, professional and knowledgeable. With Charlie's knowledge of the Capital District, I was able to eliminate my search in an area that wouldn't serve me well (due to the less-than-desirable commute, I learned from Charlie), I was able to efficiently search for a house (despite my challenging schedule) and get objective feedback on houses that I ultimately may not have been happy with. I was able to find a house that I loved and Charlie guided me through the offer process with confidence as well. I'm so happy with the new home I found with Charlie!

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie was very clear, calm, honest, reliable and reassuring. His understanding of market data and how the market was "speaking" to us through the data offered us a clear pathway for decision-making. Charlie was always available by phone and text and never left us hanging. As out-of -state sellers, it was incredibly helpful to know that Charlie was keeping an eye out for our house.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was our first home-buying experience and I couldnt be happier having worked with Charlie. Hes knowledgeable, attentive, responsive, and generally a pleasant person to be around. My wife and I needed a little extra hand-holding through the process and Charlie made me feel like I was in good hands from day one. I am not usually a aEURoewrite a reviewaEUR? type of person but I want to make sure I shout it from the rooftops how thoroughly I enjoyed my time with Charlie. I will continue to refer friends and family to him and when/if we decide to move hell be getting a call from us again.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie is a straight-shooter. He's very engaging, extremely knowledgeable and completely honest. We were trying to decide whether to rent or sell our house. Charlie went over the pros and cons of selling, and helped us to make the right decision. I have complete confidence in Charlie, and will certainly go to him first for any of our selling/buying needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time home buyers, words can hardly describe how helpful Charlie has been!! He was patient in explaining the details of putting in an offer, and the closing process to us. He was always reliable, respectful, professional, relatable, and honest. His valuable expertise was vital in helping us find the best deal on the best home for our family. Wish we could give him more than five stars!

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie was very knowledgeable of the housing market and what was needed to be done to sell the house. After the property was on the market for a month, we met reviewed price and recently sold local properties. Based on this consultation and review of all factors we then reduced the selling price. Charlies team notified me immediately of showings, cancellations and property reviews after each showing. Charlie also notified me directly of any offers made on the property.

ZillowVERIFIEDI used Charlie and his team to sell a house in the same town for $500,000. We just concluded another sale at $187,500. There was no difference in service. Every problem was solved, every call returned, no detail forgotten, even though the weather was horrendous, the owner (me) was 1400 miles away, the buyer was inattentive, and a hundred other pitfalls to the deal were masterfully navigated. Like I was his only customer (not true!!) GO TEAM GOODRIDGE!!

ZillowVERIFIEDPenny is the absolute best realtor. Very understanding of our needs, extremely knowledgeable and very in-touch with the market. I always felt she had our best interest at heart and was working to help us get into a great home we'd love while selling our house quick and at a respectable price.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie Goodridge is an excellent Real Estate Professional. He was recommended to me by my daughter and son-in-law. They purchased their home from him a number of years ago. He has been very honest as I looked at many homes with him. He points out the good and the bad. He understands an individuals needs and works had to find the right house.

ZillowVERIFIEDExcellent to work with and very professional. Charlie is always available when questions or concerns come up and has the knowledge other agents may lack. Charlie and the entire Goodridge team made a difficult sale much easier and was able to accommodate out of state clients. Would recommend Charlie and the team to anyone and even more so if you are in a not so traditional situation they will help meet all your needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a real pleasure working with Charlie over the last few months. He was extremely patient with me during the search and was well informed on the market when it came time to putting forth offers. Charlie did not pressure me at all and was always receptive to my needs. With my busy schedule, he was willing to make last minute changes and even meet late in the evening. I would recommend Charlie to anyone looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDI found Charlie to be very professional, as well as easy to work with. My house in Clifton Park was an older home, somewhat dated, with massive landscaping. He found buyers who were delighted with the home and gardens - a perfect match.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie and his right hand Pro, Mary make an unbeatable team. We had a limited time to find a home in the neighborhood we desired. Charlie took us to all the properties we requested on a Friday and we had a contract by Monday in the neighborhood we desired. We were selling a home out of state with a closing in 6 weeks. Mary went into action immediately to make our closing here coincide with closing out of state. A question never went unanswered or a roadblock not removed and she accomplished what we hadn't thought possible; a closing 3 days after sale of our home! Team work is as advertised!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs an out of state property owner I conducted much online research before choosing a real estate agent to sell our rental property in upstate NY. Charlie Goodridge of Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Blake, Realtors stood out as one of the best Saratoga Springs, NY has to offer. Reviews from previous clients were excellent. After speaking with Charlie I could tell he was very knowledgeable of the market in our area and would work hard to get my property sold. Charlie was honest, patient, and helpful. He maintained great communication throughout the entire process. Charlie worked with our property manager to get the house ready for showings and he had an offer for me within a short time. Charlie and his office staff made the selling process simple for me. Since I live out of state Charlie went above and beyond to keep the sale of the house moving forward. He made sure someone was present when the inspectors and appraisers needed to have access to the house and our property manager could not be there. Charlie recommended to me a reputable mold remediation company and made sure the task was completed properly. Charlie even went as far as to hand deliver a permit application to the city offices for me. Finally Charlie gave me a recommendation for a reasonable yet very experienced real estate attorney to handle the closing transaction. I am so thankful and grateful to Charlie and Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Blake, Realtors for their professional assistance in selling my rental property. I would definitely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a hard working realtor who is committed to giving his clients highly successful and satisfactory results.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Charlie on-and-off over a four year period while we tried to find our dream home in Saratoga Springs, NY. Charlie was always patient, responsive to our needs/requests, extremely informative and in no way pushy. And, he always found time to make himself available during our schedule (especially important since we weren't living in the area). He listened to our ideas and worked with us as we tried to figure out the best path and showed us many different options. Overall - Charlie was a pleasure to work with, and I'd love to have the opportunity to work with him again. I can't recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie Goodridge is an outstanding and impressive real estate agent. He is an advocate for his clients and will do everything he can to find you the right home.When we moved to Saratoga Springs, we used other agents and were extremely disappointed. It became clear they wanted to make the biggest commission and weren't invested in what was best for our family. We've had buyers remorse ever since.Charlie Goodridge is the exact opposite. What impressed me the most about Charlie is his local knowledge and the worth of the homes in particular areas. We fell in love with a house. Charlie advised us not to go over a certain price because the house simply wasn't worth it. The seller had dramatically over priced the home, and Charlie new that. There were a lot of hurdles in the process, the seller had misrepresented the taxes on the home, Charlie caught that and advised us to call the assessors office to get an accurate assessment. As it turns out the taxes were three times what the seller had listed. It would have added an additional $800.00 to the monthly mortgage payment and could have truly created a financial hardship for an uniformed buyer. I've never had an agent look out for our best interests to that degree. Beyond his real estate knowledge, Charlie is a great person. He's a pleasure to work with, responsive and informed. In a "buyers beware" market Charlie is the person to have representing you. He protects his clients from making an uninformed decision, a rarity in a realtor and the reason we won't use any other agent but Charlie Goodridge.

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie's most outstanding quality in the housebuying process is the fact that he is extremely calm and collected. This makes him a pleasure to work with. However, when asked any question he gives you a well informed and thought through answer or opinion. He follows all issues through 100% and is available as a guide when required. Charlie is a true professional in everything that he does. The best realtor I have ever worked with. The outstanding experience with Charlie makes me wish I could buy another house soon!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Charlie to both sell our house and buy a new house was truly and ideal experience. His knowledge of all of the processes involved in this big venture was invaluable to us as second time home buyers. As this is not a journey that people take very often, it's important to have a person there who not only knows the steps but can tell you when you may be getting off track. Charlie's assistance and feedback was always on point and much appreciated. We have already referred him to close friends and would certainly do so again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDUpon thorough consideration of many top agents in Saratoga, Charlie did an exceptional job differentiating himself and his team. Like most, we had a very tight timeline and needed a listing partner with expertise in strategic marketing to make sure we got top dollar...quickly. After personally visiting competing listings, we landed on a price and developed a comprehensive strategy to build demand. This included professional photos, exterior drone footage, an interior video walkthrough, custom property info booklets and a targeted social media advertising campaign. Charlie and Penny conducted a successful neighborhood preview, brokers open and open houses. They were both extremely responsive and overall a pleasure to work with. As a result of their efforts, we landed in a multiple offer situation which Charlie was able to leverage to our advantage. Having someone that knows how to create urgency and is skilled in negotiation is a huge component and, in hindsight, was a key factor in closing on a great deal. Ultimately, we moved into contract within 3 weeks of listing.. with a backup offer. Needless to say, I was very pleased and will remain confident in the choice of the Goodridge Team for all my real estate needs moving forward. Really great people that are truly passionate about what they do.. 5 stars!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I met Charlie while we were still in the process of deciding if we were even going to sell our home. Charlie agreed to come over and take a look at our house knowing that in the end we may not even list it. Once we made the decision to sell, Charlie was our first call. We felt he worked through the decision process with us, he listened to our concerns, answered all of our questions, he was always honest with us and never pressured us. Charlie was able to sell our house in less than 4 weeks aEUR" during the Christmas season no less! Throughout the negotiation process we always felt that Charlie had our best interests in mind. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the results of his efforts!

ZillowVERIFIEDSimply put Charlie is the best real estate professional I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. He is knowledgable about the local area and responds to questions or issues quickly. He made water into wine for us and helped secure financing in the bottom of the 9th. I'm a Veteran and Charlie helped me move through the VA loan wickets with expert advise. We are so happy in our home now and it simply would not have happened without Charlie. He comes with my highest recommendation. Sean

ZillowVERIFIEDWe selected Charlie through an interview process comparing his responses and initial feedback to a set of questions versus that of other realtors in the area. Charlie's responses showed him to be a top-performing professional who would add value to our home purchasing decision-making by guiding us with local insight, helping us to avoid pitfalls and enabling a good solution for us. We wanted someone who was more than just a nice person who would follow our lead; we wanted a professional.Our experience during the process of selecting, negotiating and buying our house matched our initial expectations. Charlie demonstrated exceptional performance as a knowledgeable and skilled partner in the process committed to enabling good decision-making including predetermining maximum acceptable market value, guiding us on future resaleability, and ensuring value preservation of our final selection. We found Charlie to be very helpful with go/no-go decision-making so that we didn't get emotionally tied to an overpriced house.This meant for us that we did not buy the first house we were interested in. Instead we reached a point in negotiations on two houses where we stopped further negotiations. We liked both of these houses but they were simply too over-priced and the sellers were not willing to take the loss to get to market pricing. Without Charlie's guidance we could have easily been in a situation where we paid too much for a house we liked and found ourselves stuck not being able to resell the property if needed without a substantial loss. Charlie helped us avoid this pitfall.In addition to his technical skills we found Charlie to be very personable and easy to work with. Charlie has a comfortable style, and my wife and I both instantly formed a lasting personal connection with Charlie. Charlie is more than a realtor for us now; he is a friend. Throughout the process we were able to talk frankly about negotiation strategies, identify limits and boundary conditions, and get frank feedback from Charlie as to whether we were missing something in our thinking. Once we locked in on the house that we purchased, Charlie's team jumped in to provide good support to complete the final details to take us through closing. We found that Charlie has a good network of top-performing professionals in the area and was able to give us guidance on the right people to use for all the supporting details -- attorney, home inspection, septic system inspection, etc. This was very helpful to us since we were new to the area and did not have any reference points on our own.Our experience with Charlie was 5-star. Always accessible; always responsive; a great partner. We now count Charlie among our friends. We highly recommend selecting a top-performing professional for making a large purchase like a home, and Charlie is the professional in the Saratoga Springs area whom we recommend.Thank you Charlie!

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie was fabulous. He was very sensitive to our needs and what we had to work with financially. Charlie managed to get us our dream home at an outstanding price. Before we found the house of our dreams Charlie was full of resources and properties to look at. Charlie is very friendly and pays attention to his clients. We thought it would be impossible to find what we needed but Charlie found a plethora of homes that fitted our needs. Charlie is also very thorough and he went above and beyond in helping us with the lawyer involved who was not listening to our needs. I don't normally write reviews of anything or anyone but The expierence with Charlie was wonderful and the results of his work found us our dream home. I beyond highly recommend him

ZillowVERIFIEDOur family is relocating and looking to purchase a home. Charlie is the 'realtor for families'. Integrity, professional, patient, knowledgeable and above all is extremely responsive and an excellent listener. He will gently guide you and allow you to lead your search in a manner that works with your pace. He does offer suggestions and presents a perspective previously not considered in hopes of offering clarity while making decisions. His approach works well with me because he provides clear goals for the day and allowed time to work for us not against. I did not feel rushed yet we worked with 1 to 2 hour time slots for initial viewings. If I liked the property we could revisit. We visited numerous properties in search of my home. My family is relocating and we were able to coordinate our appointment and plan ahead with ease. Charlie was always prepared above and beyond. He made concessions for showings with a bundle of joy energetic toddler. This is key to a family, someone ensuring the client is comfortable including all members of the family along for the ride. He took care of scheduling all our home viewings even in last minute instances.We are still working with Charlie. He has done everything right. I have yet to find my home due to very specific requirements on my end. I am patient and am working with a patient reputable realtor and in time we will secure the property that works well for our family.Absolutely recommend Charlie Goodridge as a realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDCharlie and Mary were terrific to work with. I was always aware when showings would be held, and was provided with feedback from potential buyers right away, Charlie is great with local market research, and provided me with data about listings, pending and closed sales, along with a comparison of those properties to mine. When I had a family emergency just before the closing, they carried it off without a hitch.
