We had the pleasure of working with Richie Averill at The Knoll Team and our experience couldn’t have been better. We were moving back to CO from out of state, so we anticipated that it could take us weeks if not months to find a house virtually in this crazy Colorado market. Several days into officially “house hunting”, Richie graciously did 5 FaceTime showings with us in one day. Virtual showings can be really tough, but Richie is such a great communicator and took the time to walk through the house slowly, sharing his observations and insight, and giving us background and his opinion on the neighborhood as well. His approach really helped put us at ease about not seeing all the houses in person. We really loved one of the houses Richie showed us that day, but we felt apprehensive about submitting an offer because it was listed at the top end of our budget. Richie encouraged us to go ahead and try and with his knowledge and expertise, Richie wrote up an offer that he felt was very competitive. In the end, there were multiple offers on the house, but the sellers chose us (despite the fact that our offer was not even the highest!!) because of the strong offer Richie had put together. There were a few issues that came up with the house throughout the inspection process, but Richie negotiated all of those smoothly and everything was settled in a manner that left both us and the sellers feeling respected and confident. So all in all, Richie found us our perfect house right in the area we were hoping for in less than a week. If you’re looking for a less stressful home-buying process, I highly recommend Richie and the whole Knoll Team.
