This was a very pleasurable experience. He was always available and had answers to our questions. He's very resourceful and understands the market very well. We highly recommend him to anyone else.
Lawrence just helped me close on a dream home. I honestly do not think I would have gotten the house without him. He is incredibly knowledgeable of Sacramento (and all of the surrounding areas). I couldn't decide between a house or condo, but luckily Lawrence was very experienced in both. As a first time homebuyer, I was worried I was bothering him too much with all of my questions. However, Lawrence was always quick to respond with in-depth explanations to all of my questions, helping me to really understand what I was getting myself into. It's such a comfort for a first-time homebuyer (or any homebuyer for that matter) to have a Realtor that's so patient, knowledgeable, responsive and just a genuinely nice guy. Hopefully Lawrence is still in the game when I'm ready to sell and buy something bigger. If you are looking for a solid realtor, go with Lawrence.
Lawrence was very knowledgeable about the areas of my search, which made it much easier for me to narrow my focus. He has been patient and understanding during my many months of house searching and never gave up on my finding the house that would suit me. He returned calls promptly and took the time to explain away all those questions and concerns that we homebuyers have. Just a great guy and I highly recommend him.
I absolutely loved working with Lawrence when he listed my house for sale. He is thoughtful, caring and works hard. I appreciated his open communication and overall direction during the process. He helped me choose the right list price to generate multiple offers and once all the offers came in he was able to negotiate an 'as is' sale for no repair work. Then when we didn't close on time he helped me gain a $100 per diem each day until my house closed leaving me with $700 extra dollars. If your looking for someone to give you the attention you deserve then go with Lawrence, he's great.
Lawrence is attentive, knowledgable, and hard working. His negotiating skills are top-notch, as he got us in contract with a seller who had about 20 other bids. He also had knowledge of VA loans, which was important to us. He was always available, even if it was a late hour, and was patient and adaptable if we ever had to make any last minute changes. It was a pleasure working with him .
I worked with Lawrence when I needed to list my house in Curtis Park, he was very informative and communicative during the process. I could easily get a hold of him and he was always on the ball with what was going on. I would work with Lawrence again and will surely recommend him to any person I know who needs to buy or sell a home.
Lawrence is very motivated ... He will do what it takes to make a deal happen ... He also has financial and insurance people on call to assist. He is a valuable asset to any seller or buyer in the market. This agent is genuinely motivated to make a deal happen.
Lawrence helped me find and buy a house a month ago. For me as first-time buyer he was an invaluable source of knowledge and advice. He helped me understand exactly what to pay attention to when looking at different properties, and i felt that he at all times had my best interests in mind. Throughout the process, he was extremely professional, responsive, and available to meet at very short notice to match my schedule. I am very happy with my new home, and highly recommend Lawrence without hesitation to be your real estate agent. Belal
"When I started looking for a house I had an idea of what I was looking for but needed to see lots of houses to get a sense of what type of home I wanted for the price I was willing to pay. Lawrence took his time to show me several houses over a nine month period until we found the right one for the right price. He was able to successfully negotiate favorable terms as well. The seller wanted me to pay $100 per day if I didn't close in 30 Days unless I used the listing agents lender. I didn't want to feel like I was being held hostage and accountable to pay an extra $100 per day if my lender was not able to close in 30 days. The house had been listed a while so Lawrence was able to leverage the days on the market to get 45 days to close rather than 30 which gave us breathing room because I wanted to use my own lender and not the seller's. In addition, even though we signed an addendum that the house was to be sold 'as is' Lawrence was able to get me a $500 credit to repair the roof and clear gutters. Lawrence is a great Realtor to work with and I'm happy to recommend him."
Hard working, communicative, knowledgeable, and negotiation skill are words that describe Lawrence's tireless effort to get the job done. We listed our house with Lawrence and the buyers came in with money to close over our appraised value. In addition, we were able to stay in the house without rent for 3 weeks while we closed on the purchase of our new home. We also paid $5,000 under the list price on our new home. Our Realtor was an integral part in our success story. We’re extremely pleased with the extraordinary service we got from Lawrence Hemsley
I wholeheartedly recommend Lawrence as a top-notch realtor who really knows the profession and is dedicated to helping clients find the home that fits their needs. He is also very efficient at keeping in touch, answering questions, and quickly responding to changing scenarios. Lawrence was very patient and available as I looked at many condos in various neighborhoods of Sacramento. He was instrumental in helping me find a good property that will become a wise investment down the road. Lawrence's background in the lending business enables him to also offer valuable insight into loan options and processes. He hustles to get the deal done on time while maintaining an upbeat demeanor. I am extremely satisfied with my home purchasing experience with Lawrence.
Explains the process of home buying, e.g. short sale and foreclosures. Good negotiator with seller/agents. Follows through some concerns. Promptly responses on emails.
