Dion Hocking
I relocated to Ohio from the West Coast and was on a time crunch to find the ideal home. To be exactly, I had three days of physical availability to look for a place. I gave Dion my list of must-haves via email and phone calls and he took it from there. When I made a short visit to Ohio he picked me up at the hotel and patiently showed me property after property. Dion's strongest quality is integrity -- in some cases he steered me away because the location was undesirable or because the general condition of a particular home was questionable. His extensive expertise in construction and home repairs gave him the advantage of seeing what was not obvious to me. I knew from day one that he was not after selling a home--any home--and being done. After conversations about what was desirable and what was non-negotiable, Dion found me a brand new house that was perfect and within my budget. He was instrumental in making sure I understood every step of first time home buying process. At my request, he referred me to a lender who worked seamlessly with me despite the distance. I was able to return back West knowing that Dion would take care of the details and keep me informed. I cannot imagine finding an ideal place in 72 hours if not for Dion's extraordinary knowledge of the real estate market.
