Meeting and working with Ismail was probably the highlight of this home buying experience/journey, I reached out to him after a pretty unsuccessful start pre-approved but getting nowhere.
Right away Ismail educated me on the home buying process and set me up to search listings within my budget, and also he identified that I had a unreliable loan officer and I made changes and found an officer that worked with him seamlessly.
We viewed many units, made offers, encountered shady agents and had disappointments along the way but Ismail always kept me motivated to continue even when it looked bleak. The covid crisis paused all real estate actions and weekly Ismail check in just to make sure that I was ok, he made regular video messages to keep his clients informed and when things begin to settle and showing were allowed again we continued the search.
Finally everything aligned for me after a morning showing, Ismail and I agreed on an offer and it was accepted within minutes of leaving the viewing and to my surprise Ismail took a chance and offered less than we had spoken about. I was under contract several days later, IsmaiI recommended a great inspector and everything went well. I closed on August 27, 2020 almost 1 year after contacting Ismail and I am writing this review one month in my new apartment.
I am forever grateful to Ismail for all of his hard work, dedication and standing by me during this process. I consider him not only my realtor but a friend.
