Review Walter

I had champagne tastes and a small budget but throughout the process Walter was wise and patient

As a first time home buyer it’s a bit overwhelming looking at properties and running the numbers. I had big ideas but in reality a modest budget for Northern California-where you’re looking for a needle in a haystack when you attach the word affordable to your search. Walter was always positive and wise about the pros and cons of a property. I was very picky and he was very patient and helped me to make informed choices so my actual sale was a happy event. Walter has a seasoned knowledge of the real estate market and can easily advise and negotiate smart outcomes for any buyer. He advised me on purchase price and clearly laid out the different scenarios I could choose to win the sale. It was fairly effortless and no drama. It’s already a gigantic internal drama to buy property so having a low drama sale is crucial. That’s where the seasoned experience really comes in handy. While Walter is a consummate professional he also maintains a good sense of humor which is key in finding the right place. As a first time home buyer I could be bogged down by aesthetic choices and needed a light hearted reminder to keep an open mind and a sense of humor at times because carpet and flooring can be replaced and I needed to look past horrendous drapery and see what’s actually behind the curtain. I would absolutely recommend Walter to be anyone’s realtor, but most importantly I’m so glad he was my realtor. I’m really happy with my purchase. For me it was kind of a miracle to find a home within my budget that was also a great property in a great location. Now I just need more of my friends to move into my new neighborhood!
