As first time home buyers in a very competitive real estate market, we couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent than Robert Cohen at Coldwell Banker. After an extremely bad experience with another realtor, we really needed someone we could rely on and trust throughout the process. Robert listened to our needs, educated us on the various aspects of home buying, gave us objective advice but never pushed a decision on us. He was very responsive, had an entire network of people to support every aspect of the purchase and was persistent in his follow through on the transaction. Throughout the process we really felt that he had our back, but one incident stands out. Robert decided to attend the closing even though most brokers don't usually do this. When it became apparent to him that our closing attorney wasn't bothering to explain the documents we were signing, Robert discreetly let us know that we needed to force him to do so. Just knowing that he was looking out for our interests until the very end made the whole home buying process immeasurably easier. We recommend Robert strongly and without reservation.
