We needed to find a new home in a hurry. We contacted Bob on a Sunday to arrange for a house showing on short notice. Bob not only came through for us, but also helped us negotiate a great price. I would highly recommend Bob , and we intend to use him again on our next home purchase!
Bob showed our house while we were away. He made sure everything was in place and the lights were on before each showing and then reversed the process afterwards so we did not have to worry. He gave us insight on what today’s buyers are looking for such as moving the bar from the family room to the lower level. He is an honest and caring agent.
I've worked with Bob for over 10 years on multiple transactions, however this was the first multi-unit single home house with the additional complexity of being over 100 years old. Bob assisted with resources for a more thorough inspection including lead paint and asbestos analysis. We also had to assume leases of the current residents and convert to our standard template. Everything went well and im still operating the property after over 10 years.
In our journey to find a home, Robert was the second realtor we worked with. Our first relator was someone who was clearly trying to work with as many clients as possible to put in as many offers as possible. Robert, on the other hand, was 100% committed to finding us a high quality home that was right for us. He took us on numerous tours and rescheduled any that we needed to accommodate our work schedules. He even went on tours if we were unable to be there and then reported back to us if he thought it was worth our time to go visit! During tours Robert utilized incredible amounts of industry knowledge to fully analyze each home while we were visiting. As first time home buyers, Robert educated us on what to look for to avoid putting an offer on a house that might have surprises at inspection. Robert helped us to write offers on over a dozen homes and was instrumental in getting the house we ended up in. Robert knew we wanted our home settled before our wedding and was able to achieve this goal! He pushed to ensure that we got our keys on time even when the client was presenting with multiple delays. While we were on our honeymoon Robert even went above and beyond to ensure that our utilizes were properly set up and our boiler was serviced after lack of use from previous owners. I would not hesitate to recommend Robert to anyone looking for a home. If you work with him you will have a realtor that will ensure you get the best deal possible while also making sure that you find a home perfect for you. Without Robert I don't think we would have ended up in the home we found and we could not be happier with where we live!
Bob was incredibly efficient and handled all the complexities of selling our home with ease. As first time sellers we appreciated his expertise and knowledge. His attention to detail ensured that every part of the process was seamless and stress-free.
Bob went over and above to help our family find our forever home! We worked with another realtor originally who wasn't able to complete the deal. It wasn't until we transitioned to Bob that we were more competitive and able to obtain our dream home!
Bob has managed over 20 real estate transactions for me (buying, selling, leasing) and I have stuck with him exclusively because of his effectiveness. There are many examples of Bob going above and beyond the normal duties of an agent including moving appliances for me and recommending contractors to do repairs. This guy knows how to get a deal done!
Although his residence and office are in Oakland County, he was very familiar with Macomb County, where we eventually purchased our home. By encouraging us to view properties that had a first-floor laundry, he was able to suggest properties that would continue to serve us as we advanced in age. Bob provided a fiduciary--duty always maintaining our best interests. He was readily available to take our calls and to meet with us to view homes outside our busy work schedules. He was patient. Even after viewing multiple properties and spending hours with us he continued to be patient with us, confident that we would eventually find the right home that we love. In the end, we were so pleased with the services he provided that we recommended him to our son and a colleague. Both purchased homes with him as the realtor and also were happy with the services he provided.
Bob provided great legal advice when we were considering whether we should split or combine the purchase of the home and adjacent lot. His knowledge of the process permitted us to fully investigate the property and his guidance provided wisdom that will ensure our future financial flexibility. In the end, the price we paid for the adjacent vacant lot was amazing--much below the value of the property.
Bob was extremely helpful as he assisted us in the navigation of what often is a very stressful experience. His knowledge of the process put us at ease. He provided solid advice regarding the staging of our home to maximize the sale price. The professional photos used to market our home provided a very favorable impression of the home and property. When needed, he provided professional contacts to take care of a small plumbing problem discovered during the inspection of the property. In the end, our home had multiple offers and he presented those offers in a way which made the decision very easy. He was with us each step along the process.
My experience with Robert Katner was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we began working together, their professionalism, dedication, and deep knowledge of the market shone through. They took the time to understand my needs, patiently guided me through every step of the process, and always kept me informed with clear, prompt communication. Their negotiation skills were impressive, securing me a fantastic deal that I couldn’t have achieved on my own. Robert Katner went above and beyond, making what could have been a stressful experience seamless and even enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier realtor!
Bob got us into see houses quickly and dealt with things efficiently. He got us a great deal on our house and we couldn’t be happier! He had great advice to offer and was very knowledgeable about the market and houses in general. Would highly recommend using him as your agent.
