ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my fiance and I started our home search, we didn't have a realtor. Mainly looking through zillow, we kept getting randomly assigned realtors through that site as we found new homes we wanted to tour. Eventually, as we were getting more serious with the search/considering putting offers down, we decided we needed to pick one moving forward. We didn't pick John because of a quick google search showing his good ratings, we picked him because of our own personal experience with him. He was very detailed/informative while giving us the tour. He didn't sugar coat things; if he saw something that would be an issue/he didn't like, he made it known. Most of the other realtors we partnered with rarely pointed out anything and couldnt seem to answer a lot of the questions we had around the properties we saw with them. It seemed like they were more concerned about making the sale rather than giving their honest opinions, maybe thinking that could lead us to not put an offer down. This was no issue for John, we felt like out of all the realtors we worked with, we could trust John the most. He did a great job pointing out problems we most likely would've missed and was even honest when he didn't like a property we toured by giving his reasons. Over the 1.5 years we ended up working with him, he was very patient with us. Even after we finally closed, he has kept in touch and recommended a contractor we are currently working with now. If it wasn't for John, we would have never seen our home as we were not familiar with the neighborhood at all! He highly recommeded the neighborhood, and it was a great spot for the starter home we wanted within our budget. If you are looking for a realtor(which can be overwhelming with how many are out there), you can feel confident that you'll be in good hands with John as your realtor!!
