ZillowVERIFIEDWe were busting at the seams at our old house and began searching for a larger home. We did not want a 'fixer', needed at least 3k square feet, and so on. We had been looking for over a year on our own before deciding we needed a realtor. It was very discouraging - after several excursions, we were ready to give up entirely. We just couldn't afford what we needed. Dexter spent several days showing us homes we'd previewed on the Internet - he set up an automatic email with details on particular homes, we'd flag those we were interested in.After one intense day of looking at several homes all over, I vividly remember him plugging his laptop into the car adapter, resting it on the hood of his van and going through listings with us again. We'd either seen then all, or they didn't work for our needs.He pointed out a home we'd looked at online before - but it needed work and was a bit beyond our price range. Was a foreclosure, which we didn't want to bother with either. Well, it had been out of our price when we'd seen it earlier but the bank that owned it had just knocked about 50k off the price that very day which is why he showed it to us...We went to see the home and fell in love despite it not meeting some key needs. Sure, it was big, but had no garage, had a non-usable basement, but it had enough baths, bedrooms, lovely (wet) yard... decent kitchen and so on. LOL! We went back several times to be absolutely sure... Thankfully, Dexter took us through the whole foreclosure thing quite easily - we didn't have to worry about anything at all in fact. It was a very smooth transaction all around and we've been in our home well over a year now and still love it! Dexter is very professional, up on the latest technology and information, very kind and patient, responsive to our questions and concerns and all around knowledgeable about all facets of real estate. When we sell our old house, we'll definitely be engaging Dexter to help us.I'm convinced he 'read' us well enough to ignore our repeated desire regarding not wanting a fixer, realizing we just can't resist the charm of older homes. I'm so glad he looked at that listing and took us to see it. :D
