Vernon R.E. helped the reviewer sell this property

Wonderful understanding, expertise, negotiation and communication skills

The home we were selling was a family home owned by my sister, brother, and me. My brother, who is schizophrenic, had been living in the house, hoarding, not keeping up on repairs, cleaning, or paying the bills. He was a hoarder making the house a mess both inside and out. Vernon was assigned as real-estate commisioner by a distric judge to handle the sale. Unfortunally, my brother was not cooperative in moving, so we had to get an eviction coordinated with the local sheriff's office, which Vernon was instrumental in relaying the process, as well as meeting us at the sheriff's office. On eviction day, Vernon came with a lock smith, did a quick assessment of the house, and planned the next step for a quick sale with the hopes of getting a good price. Vernon explained to us that the house would not qualify for traditional loans, he proposed an auction-type sale of the house where there was a time limit and a low price quote to start the bidding. I was dubious and talked to him, several times, asking for repeated explanations on how the process was to work. Each time I called or left a message, Veron responded with patience and understanding, clarifying information, direction, and facts about the real-estate market. We would end the conversation with my feelings reasured and confident. Later, we were surprised at the response of interest in the property. What really was impressive was that Vernon kept us apprised of the bids and information of the worthy bidders. We sold for more than we expected to a family who would renovate, remodel, and live in the house. Vernon showed his expertise in his comprehension of our situation, the process of selling the house, and his dealings with the sellers and buyers. Not once did I feel condescended to or embarrassed by my questions. Vernon is upbeat, good humored, and ready to go the extra mile to make a sale. I wholeheartedly endorse Vernon as an ethical, compassionate, and knowledgeable real-estate professional.
