What clients say about this agent....
Harlan represented me through the buying and selling of my property. I enjoyed working with him because of his quieter, attentive demeanor. Communication was good, very responsive by email or text. I felt I could ask him about almost any small little thing that came up in the selling process. Some things that I thought were really good that helped the sale of the home was the professional staging referral that Harlan made, his photographer did really good pictures, and Harlan put that listing up in a lot of different places. We ended up getting multiple offers and sold for substantially higher than our purchase price. Thank you Harlan for the work that you do!
Harlan was phenomenal in every way. From our first meeting to post closing, Harlan was informative, helpful, kind, patient, and respectful. He helped us manage our expectations with what we could afford, was willing to look all over Rochester for a house that fit our wants and needs, and helped us process through important details about the house, such as repair work, future issues, and what we would want to get out of it with our time in the home. My wife and I could not recommend Harlan enough! Hes straight to the point, which is something you really should want to hear from an agent, and he was always honest about our uncertainties. We would gladly choose Harlan again if we had to look for a new home!
Harlan did a great job in helping to find my new house! He also helped me understand the process since this was my first house. I absolutely recommend Harlan!
My spouse and I had a wonderful experience working with Harlan to purchase our first home. His breadth of knowledge of the whole process was indispensable to us as we were really flying in blind. Thanks to Harlan, we were able to feel a lot more comfortable diving into the market and were confident in our decision making. Just as importantly, Harlan was a real pleasure to work with. Very friendly and open, always willing to take time to answer our plethora of questions, and continues to reach out post-closing to see how we're doing settling in. Harlan also has a lot of connections in the area, and is able to recommend excellent people for various services ranging from mortgage servicers to plumbers to inspectors and more. There's a reason he's one of the top rated agents in the county!! We highly, highly recommend Harlan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. You will not be disappointed!
Harlan was first recommended to me from a coworker that was thrilled he had done such a masterful job selling her house. He has since helped me sell my old house and recently helped me purchase my current home. His complimentary staging helped me get more than expected on my previous sale, and his knowledge of the market helped me to properly determine my bids on properties during the crazy summer housing market we just had. He's extremely knowledgeable and responsive, and has a well established network of home related professionals that he frequently works with and recommends. I personally used his recommendations for mortgage lenders, insurance agents, and flooring installers. He's my first name to anyone that mentions they are looking to sell or purchase a home.
Harlan and team were so helpful in preparing our home for selling. From MaryBeths exuberance and Danas kindness to Harlans years of experience the whole team reduced the stress surrounding the the buying/selling experience. Through their diligence and guidance we sold our home far above asking! We could not have done it without them. I would strongly recommend Harlan!
We couldn't have asked for anything more from Harlan and his team. Looking back on the 20 offers that didn't pan out, we are grateful that everything worked out the way that it did and we wouldn't have changed anything. We are beyond happy and excited with the home that we ended up with and we are immensely grateful for Harlan's help and support throughout the entire process. We never felt an ounce of pressure from Harlan, despite looking at over 50 houses.
If anyone is ever looking to sell a house in Rochester, I completely and whole heartedly recommend G. Harlan Furbush Realtor at Keller Williams Realty Greater Rochester. I needed someone who could be compassionate and kind, but honest and trustworthy. He was all of that and more. Having to sell my parents' home in a city 6 hours away, after losing both within 4 months, was never going to be easy. They had owned the home for 50 years, and put many of their own personal touches into it's updates over those years. I wasn't looking for someone to give me a sympathy sale price, that would never be achievable and would linger on the market forever. I needed someone who could look at what was there, and tell me what we should really do. Harlan completely did that. I have never bought or sold a home in my life, I had no idea what needed to be done, or how to do it. I never felt I was asking dumb questions or should know something when I reached out for help. I could call or text him and get a reply back quickly to every question I asked, and there were a lot. He was patient and kind through the whole process. Being so far away I was concerned about the security of the home through the sale, Harlan was 100% on board with doing whatever we needed to keep it as safe as possible. Making extra stops by to check in and secure the property each day. While selling my parents' home was not easy emotionally, it was made 100 times easier by working with Harlan. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done, all the little steps, the frequent updates, and the constant understanding. If I were ever looking to buy or sell a home in Rochester, I would call him again every single time.
The current market in Rochester is OUTRAGEOUS. It took me six months and six offers to purchase my home and Harlan was with me every step of the way. He is knowledgeable, INCREDIBLY RESPONSIVE, and was able to get me into every single property I asked to see, some of them more than once, which is virtually impossible these days. While I was figuring out whether the home "felt" right to me and where my furniture might fit, he was checking out the age of appliances and roofs and renovation workmanship. When there are literally dozens of offers on the table, it's important to set yours apart in a way that both honest and worthy of consideration. Harlan is a data-driven guy and was constantly figuring out what was the newest negotiating tool in such a competitive market, and how it might best be used to move the needle for me. It was because of his hard work, attention to detail, and study of the market that I was eventually successful. He is simply the best. I cannot recommend Harlan Furbush highly enough.
Harlan is seriously the best. He was patient with us as first time home buyers, at a time where not only did we not have tremendous buying power, but we were racing against rising rates and the smallest amount of available houses in the country. He got us into many homes basically instantly, and helped us make competitive offers that kept us in the running. None of the issues, which we're minor anyway, were on our end, Harlan helped keep the process moving while keeping me informed every step of the way. I could go on, but to keep it simple: If you need a house, whether it's your first time or your tenth, Harlan can help.
