ZillowVERIFIEDJust bought a house and used Robert with MacLean Realty Group. He was fantastic from start to finish. Really went above and beyond to make sure that our needs and wants were conveyed to the listing agent, all the details were included in the contract. His negotiating skills are really good, he is a great problem solver and mediator between agents and owners, clients and lenders and even contractors that are inspecting the house. He has a keen knowledge for home repair as well so he was able to help us to identify possible issues and even made a trip to the city for us to get information on the property lines and possible RV access we wanted to put in. We had identified a crack in the foundation upon inspection and Robert was able to get a contractor out there the very next day to take a look at it for us. I can't recommend Robert enough really, you will not find a harder working agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Robert was a great experience from start to finish! His professionalism, deep market knowledge of South Orange County, and dedication made the entire buying process easy and stress-free. Robert truly went above and beyond. He was communicative and responsive - we always felt like a priority throughout the entire process. Robert gave us honest advice and was a great advocate and negotiator, and he helped ensure we were making the best, most informed decisions along the way. We could not be happier with our home purchase! I highly recommend Robert MacLean for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate professional!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the second home that Robert has sold for me. He sold my previous home in 2013. I must have been happy with him the first time to list with him again. One thing that really stands out about Robert is his professionalism. Everything about working with Robert is great. His understanding about market conditions, his ideas about how to prepare the home, his discussion with you regarding the right amount to price your home, the professionalism of the listing (professional photos and a 3D walk-through), and all of his communication with me from beginning to end. I saw all of this the first time he sold my home and the second time was as good or better. I could not recommend Robert more highly. Few things speak more about a person than your desire to work with them a second time. When it came time to sell our home I knew who we would be going with.

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst time working with Robert to sell a home. I previously sold a home in 2006 with a slick agent who I think I only met once (the day he introduced himself, made a slick pitch, and I agreed to have him list my home). From then on I don't think I ever spoke with him directly. It was assistants the rest of the way. My experience with Robert was a polar opposite. Robert was a professional from start to finish. He understood the market in my area, how to price my home compared to comps in the area, what the process would be, how to prepare my home to be sold, and what his sales strategy would be.Though my condo was not a million dollar home, Robert listed it like it was. His listing was so much better than others in my complex that another agent went as far as to use (without permission) all of his pictures from my community (clubhouse, pool, gym, building exterior, etc) and most of Robert's write-up too. There is no doubt in my mind that Robert's professional handling of the listing and sale of my home contributed to me receiving multiple offers that were 10% over my asking price. During the listing, Robert always kept me informed of what was going on. Robert did this himself, not some office assistant. He presented all of the offers to me, made suggestions and recommendations, and did more counter offers then I could ever imagine an agent having to do. He even countered the offers from buyers that we were sure would not stay in when the price kept going up, but he was as professional with the buyers and their agents as he was with me. Robert also uses DocuSign to handle the tedious process of signing document after document. Just click and go; what a huge time saver.I could not be happier about my choice to hire Robert MacLean to sell my home. He is a true professional who I recommend highly and would use again in an instant.

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Robert. He really understood us and knew what we wanted as buyers. He found the house of dreams and we are soo happy in our new home. We had a pretty extensive must have list, but Robert was able to find it and was able to get us a price we did not even think possible. He always listened to us and was always there. Robert also Sold our previous home for us. We had an extremely difficult next door neighbor and we were worried about being able to sell. No problem for Robert and he got us top dollar. He knew what kind of buyer we needed to have a quick and easy escrow. You can not get any better. Thank you Robert.
Answered Questions
No. You can sign a buyer agreement for any period of time less than 90 days. It can also be for a specific house or houses. You do not need to pay a Brokers fee prior to the close of escrow. There is also a box to check to have the seller pay the fee.
It is not common to have the selling agent ask to have you get pre-approved with their lender of choice. But it does happen. If you have gone through underwriting with your current lender that is all you should need to do. Your lender can talk to their lender and they can give them what they need to make them feel comfortable to accept your offer.
Yes you can. During escrow there is a form for your spouse to fill out stating they are aware that you are buying the property separately. Check with your CPA as to what the best tax advantages are filing jointly v separately.
Talk to the lender who hold the note on the property. They have a whole department that will assist you in the steps necessary and get you the amount needed to bring it out of foreclosure.
