I worked with Elizabeth Gassos to buy my first home. From our first phone call to discuss my goals to closing day, Elizabeth was an absolute lifesaver! She guided me through every step of the process, answering all my questions and requests. She was an asset to have in my corner, fighting for me until the finish! Elizabeth was patient, understanding, and compassionate about helping me find my dream home. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better realtor. If you're looking to buy a home, don't waste any more time; give Elizabeth a call and let her guide you to your next home!!

Elizabeth was AMAZING every step of the way. From the start, I was impressed with the way she and her team operated, actively sending me very personalized recommendations instead of an automated MLS feed. She was clearly an expert in her market, and well aware of all of the future developments in the area. She was immediately available for any important conversations, and her equally talented team members seamlessly stepped in to help along the way. Her recommendations and advice are on-point. I told her that was struggling to find a good lender, and I couldn't be happier with her introduction to Elizabeth ("Biz") Salathe. It was icing on top of the cake when I learned that they are such a dynamic duo! I had often heard that it's important that your lender and agent work well together but didn't realize the true value until I witnessed their relationship. As a new investor, I initially thought that a lender's most important job was to give you money, but quickly learned how much more value a lender can bring to a deal. Biz took the time to explain all of the details behind the lending process, helped me to understand what prices would be in my comfort zone, and was a strong advocate for me when I was making an offer. It was certainly not an easy process to acquire this property. I know that I was a HUGE challenge: being a first time homebuyer-investor, buying out of state, having an extremely specific property criteria and on top of all of that, I was determined to use one of the most difficult loans! Elizabeth handled each step with grace and confidence, and always had my best interests at heart. One of the major challenges happened early on; I found a great property and wanted to see it, but before we get the chance to schedule the walkthrough, the seller takes it off the market! Without skipping a beat, Elizabeth calls the seller's agent to ask why. It's as she suspected- they weren't getting the offers they were expecting. Investors had been offering prices way below listing, due to cap rates being low. She knew that I was using a different strategy and that cap rates would be less critical for me. She shared that with the listing agent and convinced them to show us the property! And since it was still off the market (and I'm sure due to Elizabeth as well), my below-asking offer was accepted! At a later point was an even bigger challenge, where my earnest money was at risk. Tensions were high, but she calmly strategized a plan (and a backup plan or two) to ensure that I was maximally protected. Although I came in with high expectations (she came in highly recommended from a friend who is an equally amazing realtor), they were exceeded. Elizabeth is not only at the top of her field, but serves her clients with genuine kindness!

Elizabeth was absolutely phenomenal during our buying process. We are new to the state and she was referred to us by another agent. She made the entire process seamless and made our love to Texas less stressful. She had knowledge of the areas and opened our eyes to so much more inventory and neighborhoods. She was timely in responding and answered all questions we had. I really enjoyed the buyer presentation she put together for our initial meeting. I was in Georgia and my husband was already in Dallas. She made sure I stayed in the loop and saw everything as if I was in person. I highly recommend Elizabeth and her team!

Elizabeth was fantastic to work with during our homebuying process! Being first time homebuyers in the intense 2020 housing market, we had many questions and concerns going into the process. She helped alleviate a lot of stress by being patient with us as she responded to our many questions and by helping us understand the process every step of the way. Visiting houses with Elizabeth was extremely helpful because she pointed out key things to look at that we didnt consider from our lack of experience. Overall, we had a great experience and recommend Elizabeth and her team to our friends and family.

My girlfriend (now wife!) and I were in a massive bind that Elizabeth Gassos saved us from. Our landlord gave us very little notice that he was moving back into his house. We obviously needed a place to live, BUT in that house we had three dogs, four cats, two snakes, and a tortoise. Guess how many people wanted to rent to us? We didn't think homeownership was possible at this stage in our life and we figured our financial situation was terrible. Elizabeth then educated us and it turned out we were in a pretty good place to buy. Again though, we needed a quick close in a time and market not conducive to quick closings. But EG got it done. Her knowledge is unmatched, and she wouldn't let us make a bad choice (we tried). We bought in 2018. In June of this year (2022), she came to our wedding. Elizabeth doesn't just help you accomplish life goals, she enriches your life. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we'll be talking to Elizabeth Gassos. You should too.
