Competent, Professional, Attentive, Genuine and Generous.
We met Garrett at an open house and after a friendly exchange, we took his card and went on our way. That evening, we saw a house listed that piqued our interest and wanted to get in to see it ASAP. We did not have an agent, so we called Garrett, asking if he would assist. He immediately called the listing agent and set us to view the next morning. While that house ended up with multiple bids higher than our limit, it gave us the chance to see how Garrett operated and further discuss our needs.
From that day forward, Garrett was working with us as a team. He invited us to join him as he checked out houses that were coming on to the market within our parameters of features and listing price. We quickly came to value his extensive house purchasing, construction and remodeling experience: He offered opinions on cheap/shoddy work, whether the property had assets worthy greater investment, and he had no hesitation to share with us what he liked and what concerned him about a property. We learned quickly he would protect our interests.
The house we purchased was in a neighborhood we had previously excluded from our search, but since it met several key parameters, Garrett suggested we take a look. Aside from needing a cosmetic overhaul, it delivered in overall layout and features and was by far the best fit of all the properties we had seen over the past year. Moreover, the neighborhood has delivered in surprising and delightful ways.
Garrett worked well with the selling agent, prepared a strong bid and we had a smooth escrow. After the close, Garrett was most valuable in sharing his contacts for the work we wanted to complete before move in. But he went above and beyond giving us a list of resources. He met the contractors at the house and checked in as work progressed, to ensure we were happy with the work.
Garrett is genuine, professional and a pleasure to have as a partner in a real estate transaction. We are grateful!
