John is very knowledgeable about Real Estate and what should be looked for when buying a home. My experience with him regarding going under contract was very good. There were a few concerns: 1. Initially, he was pushing me to go with his lender and when I pushed back, he tried to tell me that only some known lenders will work. I did go with my own lender, and I can tell you that I got a much better rate. So please be aware of this. Also, despite telling his lender that I am going with another lender, this lender kept on bothering me with text messages. 2. John then also shared with me that he knows of someone who paints and charges four dollars per square feet. He shared that this particular guy helps him with Painting, Handyman, etc. to get his properties listed. The three of us went through the property I was about to close on where we discussed the inspection report and the Painting, etc. After a few days when I approached John to get this person‘s number, I felt a hesitation. I then told him that I need to get more quotes to ensure that I’m not being charged more, and that is when John shared with me that this guy works for John as John has another company for Painting, etc. I was kind of surprised with this new information after getting the quote. I did decide to go with John’s company. The work done by the Painter was satisfactory, however, there were clear communication gaps. So once again would caution regarding engagement for any other work other than buying and selling real estate. If you do decide to go with this additional work, please ensure everything is in writing. If it was not for this bad experience regarding the lender and all of the miscommunication, I would have rated John a five star for a real estate agent.
