Dean is fantastic. My wife and I were somehow simultaneously very particular buyers but also had no idea what we wanted when we started the home buying process - Dean was very patient and helped us understand the entire market, pros, cons, etc. Dean is very knowledgeable of the entire process from start to finish. He pointed out construction defects, anticipated, and estimated future expenses. He knew the traffic patterns and lighting at different times of day everywhere we went and how that would impact lifestyle but also expenses. He knew the HOA's inside and out, what current costs would be but also how well funded HOA's were for the future. He told us no on a number of occasions where I believe other realtors would have just tried to sell whatever property they showed next... that builds a lot of trust! Once we finally purchased a home, Dean clearly articulated everything we could expect the rest of the way. Many of these things were well beyond his job; understanding the financing and closing process, what various documents were intended for, etc. He "quarterbacked" the entire process and collaborated with all the parties on our behalf so we did not feel alone in what can be an overwhelming process; insurance agents, title company, and mortgage underwriters to name a few. Bottom line, I knew Dean was very good at what he did before we started the home buying process and still ended up blown away by his knowledge, professionalism, and patience. In a profession full of pretenders, Dean is real deal - hire him!
