ZillowVERIFIEDJustin is a very nice guy up front. He represented both the seller and us, the buyer. He represented the home as "The Definition of Turn Key". We had issues with improper disclosures, permits and final inspections. The home had recent work that required permits and we were told that the owner would have permits cleared prior to the COE. A few days before the COE we were told that permits couldn't be completed so if we wanted to still buy the home we would need to sign a hold harmless agreement. This wasn't something we wanted to do but we had no other place to go and had to move out of our other home so we signed it. We were told all work was done to code and it was just an easy process of pulling a new permit. That has not been the case at all. Much of the work had to be redone. Also, there were pest issues that were not disclosed properly, exterior lighting issues that were not disclosed (to fix would be $3,500), wood floors that were peeling up hidden under the carpet. The realtor did a final walk through for us and I have no idea how he could have missed it. We were given a credit at the end but it no where near covered the costs to repair all of the above...not to mention the time involved in trying to fix all of the above. The fact that this was the 'Definition of Turn Key' was not. The realtor also called me derogatory names after the sale. Therefore I would definitely not recommend him or Chase International.

ZillowVERIFIEDJustin truly helped me through the whole process with respect, kindness, courtesy, and honesty. He has become a friend to our family and we are forever grateful.

ZillowVERIFIEDJustin is the consummate real estate professional. Knowledgeable about the market as a whole plus a wide variety of specific communities and diverse price points. He is a skilled negotiator and helped steer a tough transaction (issues caused by several bank/appraisal delays) across the finish line. As an person, he is a good listener, polite, courteous and patient. As a professional, he is detail oriented, helpful and responsive to calls/questions. As a licensed (inactive) real estate broker myself and son of a former real estate salesperson, I know a little something about this industry. And can say without reservation that Justin is not just a premier real estate agent, he is a top-notch human being who you want in your corner when buying or selling real estate.

ZillowVERIFIEDHe is a professional and very caring with his clients, he is very sensitive to their needs and delivers exactly what one is looking for, his knowledge in the area is very broad. I recommend him because he has helped me find my first home and he made the process very easy, he gives everything and I can be sure that he will be there when I need him again. Thank you Justin for being my realtor and friend at the same time .
