    William helped my now husband and I find our first home! William was incredibly responsive, honest, and taught us a lot about buying and owning a home. I will definitely be reaching out to William the next time I move, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling.

    William Folger is the most dynamic, knowledgeable, flexible and ease to work with real estate professional that I have met.He will cover all the bases for you to ensure you will have a pleasurable, seamless, and stress-free buying experience and will assist and advise you in every step of the process.Below are some of key differentiators that I have experienced during my home purchase and would like to share so that others too can take advantage of his expertise and service.1) Flexible: First off, he is not pushy at all and works at your pace. Whether you are in a rush to buy a house or just looking around to check the market, he has all the time for you. He would not hesitate to show as many houses as you want, even if you are not interested in buying at this time. 2) Responsive: Works fulltime and very responsive. You can ask him anything and he will patiently explain all the details.3) Knowledgeable: Knows the area and processes well and helps you quickly filter and locate the area and properties to focus. Very transparent and will explain the pros and cons. 4) Loves to explore: Follows your guidelines and requirements and will also show couple of different options to consider. You never know what you would be missing.5) Works to meet or exceed Budget: Worrying about the house that you really liked and would like to buy. but its out of your limits or budget? He will help you get connected with the experts to assess your financial situation and provide the different options and alternatives to meet or exceed your goal. 6) Excellent Negotiator: Ready to make an offer and dont know what to quote? Whether its a buyers market or sellers, he applies his comprehensive analysis and experience to present the offer, adapt and respond back for counteroffer/s to make an optimal deal. In my case, the Seller had multiple offers and he carefully carved out a plan to shift the Sellers attention to us and make our offer most favorable on the table, without breaking the bank. Also included appropriate terms and conditions to protect the offer.7) Persistent, in finding the right house: Did you miss the Boat? If you just missed the house that you really liked and are hung up that its gone, you dont have to worry. William knows the locality and building architecture, landscape so well that he would quickly help you find a better one. 8) Covers all fronts: Has an excellent association with team of experts to cover all sides aEUR" Pre-approval, Loan, Attorney, Inspection, warranty, insurance, closing, repairs, etc. so that your home buying is as much stress-free and pleasurable as possible. I would highly recommend William!!

    William made the process of buying a house less stressful and was able to find us a great house in a short amount of time. He was so helpful in answering all of our questions and being available to communicate throughout the whole process. William really goes above and beyond and he was great in understanding what we were looking for and was able to find an amazing house. I couldn't recommend him more.

    William is very knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way to find and purchase our new home. He really went out of his way to make sure we had options and all the information about taxes and even helped us choose a home warranty. I recommend him to anyone looking for a place to call home.
