In our 40 years of buying and selling properties, Bill Crumbaker is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. In February, against all odds, he helped navigate our purchase of a 1031 Exchange replacement property during an extremely competitive Seller's market and only 45 days to identify our replacement. With his in-depth knowledge and truly unique strategies, he was able to get the Seller to sign a Purchase and Sales Agreement with us BEFORE their offer review date, thus saving us significant capital gains tax. Then in March, he sold our large 5-acre home with spectacular views. After listing it at a price with well-documented and excellent comps, he fortuitously sensed the Seller's market was shifting towards a Buyer's market - well ahead of established market indicators. Carefully watching other comparable properties, and talking with the listing agents, he preemptively advised us to lower our price before home prices dropped and the market weakened further. We did as he recommended and very quickly got a full price, all cash offer with 10-day closing, while the other homes continue to sit on the market and drop in price. Even though we lowered our price, we were still able to sell for a much higher price than we had anticipated just a year ago, and once again, he saved us significant dollars. We are incredibly gratefully for Bill's foresight, attention to detail, and dogged determination to get excellent results for his clients!! He is the BEST! As a side note, Bill said this is the first time in 10 years that he has had to lower a price on one of his listings. Pretty amazing track record....
