Hume gave excellent advice on how to prepare my house for sale, which paid off with multiple offers above asking price. He provided helpful guidance on how to approach each offer and we went under contract after only four days on the market. Overall, Hume made the process smooth and easy!
Our experience with Hume was great. He was very professional and always ready to answer questions. Also he did great research and had open conversation and explain his suggestions, explain what he expected from the seller and inform what could he offer as the agent, it really felt like team work. I felt that he was never pushy and I was comfortable working with him and will recommend.
We know Hume for more than 10 years, and we always received top-notch treatment and service. He truly puts customers first. When ever we had a question (early morning, late night, weekdays or weekends) he was there for us and our questions and concerns. More importantly, his knowledge of the local housing market helped us to make a surplus which we would have missed out on if we had gone with an online discount agency. The entire house selling process was such an pleasing experience, because of his experience and the effort. We wholeheartedly recommend Hume!
Our lender recommended Hume to us, and we had an excellent experience with him as our buyer's agent from day one. As first time home buyers, we had many questions and broad search criteria. Hume carefully explained each step of the process, was always willing to answer our questions in a timely manner, and methodically helped us through the process of narrowing down our search. With his help and guidance, we were able to land an excellent deal for a great home in what has been an otherwise stressful, fast-paced, and competitive seller's market. His methodical and friendly approach to the entire process of buying a house helped to mitigate that stress and find us a great new home.
The best compliment you can pay someone is a continuing relationship. We worked with Hume to purchase our home in 2016, and that went so well, that we knew we would be back with him when we sold the home in 2020. The second experience was just as good – a quick offer and fast and easy close. Hume is a long term local and knows the area and markets extensively. He is on top of every detail along the way and provides guidance on items that we would have missed. As an example, he counseled us to complete the application for exemption of withholding for non-Maryland residents as soon as possible, and provided all of the necessary supporting documentation. This saved us the 8% withholding at closing – huge! Hume is well networked in real estate and with contractors in the business. His recommendations for a plumber, a painter, a flooring contractor… all exceptional. When our application for the withholding exemption seemed to be stalled, he went to his contact at the state and got it moving in time for our quick close. Finally, I would be remiss to not mention the high level of integrity and honesty that Hume consistently demonstrates in all of his dealings. This is very important to us. Hume provides real value to real estate transactions. Highest recommendation.
We met Hume through a personal reference. Hume is very knowledgeable about market timing, neighborhoods and construction. He was able to find major issues in houses that I would have definitely put an offer on if it wasn't for his input. He was very responsive and flexible. He has a no pressure approach. We ended up spending ~$25k less on an investment property because of his input. He helped us purchase an investment property and place a good tenant 2 weeks after we closed. If you're looking for a long-term relationship with a smart realtor who will help your portfolio grow with the right investments, I highly recommend Hume.
Hume has helped us buy and sell a home. He is extremely knowledgeable, always responds honestly to all questions that ultimately allows client to make the right decisions. He was responsive, helpful and punctual for all meetings and always came prepared with the appropriate information. Would highly recommend.
