When we started our home search, we met a whole lot of real estate agents. But when we met Marc at one of his open houses, we hit it off immediately and knew he was the one we wanted to work with. We were immediately drawn to his friendly and welcoming demeanor, his deep knowledge of the neighborhoods we were considering, and his valuable insight into the market in general. Marc took the time to get to know us and to understand our lives and our personalities to make sure he was matching us up with the right homes, and made it clear he would help us find the perfect home no matter how long it took – it seemed like a personal mission for him. COVID-19 slowed down our progress but Marc was able to keep our search moving as seamlessly as possible. When we found our perfect home, his negotiation guidance got us under contract (and under asking price) very quickly. Throughout the rest of the purchase process, Marc was on top of every single detail and made sure it was a smooth journey to closing. Even when we ran into some COVID-related delays in our financing which added a lot of stress to the process, Marc’s demeanor, communication style, and rapport with the sellers’ agent kept the deal on track and brought us a lot of peace of mind. Marc is everything we could have wanted in an agent: a consummate professional, highly effective communicator, and a true expert. Let’s be honest – real estate transactions are not fun. Marc not only made our experience as painless as possible, he was truly a pleasure to work with every step of the way and someone we now consider a friend. We highly recommend Marc Lyman.
