We were not well versed in this process and Chris took time to explain every step to us ..so that we were comfortable and understood everything. He definitely had our best interests in mind at all times! This type of service is a rare find these days. I can not recommend him highly enough. If you are in the market to buy or sell call Chris you will not be disappointed.

After trying to sell our home with another realtor, and failing, we met with Tim Fitzgibbon and…read moreTaylor Welch. They were not only personable and had a high level of integrity, but they knew their stuff and priced the house perfectly. Since we have pets we were concerned about a lockbox. Tim assured us he'd be at every showing and went to extraordinary lengths to make sure that our pets were safe. We got a full price contract in less than a week and the smoothest sale we've ever experienced. Tim went above and beyond - even taking our trash to the dump just before the walkthrough! In addition to selling our home, Tim helped us buy our new home including researching confusing permits that the seller's realtor couldn't clarify. Tim drove to the county in which we bought our home (different from the county in which we sold our home) to make sure that repairs were done. Tim knows his stuff, is communicative, kind, patient and hangs in there with you through what is generally a stressful process. We now refer to Tim as St. Tim

After posting an initial bad review about a rogue real estate agent Jonathan Carrilles (under this…read morebrokerage) who was scamming people on Airbnb, I was contacted by both Brian McBride and his marketing manager. They both expressed genuine remorse and disappointment for the actions of the agent who worked for them. Brian informed me that he immediately terminated Jonathan Carrilles when he found out what happened, and has notified the appropriate licensing agencies. He has been actively working with the scammed homeowner and through my previous review we are able to identify another person Jonathan Carrilles scammed as well. When you're the owner of a company it's important to deal immediately, honestly and directly when something bad happens. Brian did this and I believe he is a man of high character and integrity. I have no hesitation recommending this company.

Use caution here they have been sending me requests to sell a property in Bradenton FL that is the…read morenursing/assisted living facility that my mom lived in until she passed. After the 3rd letter I responded positively with a $10,000,000 asking price, the facility is the largest in the area. Gotta a call all enthusiastic, when I asked if they had even looked on Zillow what the property was the woman said no. When I told her it was a huge retirement home and called her an idiot she got all butt hurt and asked me why "did I call her". When I again called her an idiot and reminded her that SHE CALLED ME, she got even more butt hurt and said she wouldn't work with a client like me, who called her an idiot...... went downhill from there. So, I guess my asking price of $10,000,000 was too high? BTW the mailing address is bogus as well. This is a scam and any reviews are self-generated.

Worst purchase agreement I've ever seen. Lowball offer for less than a third of market value…read more If you sign with them, be prepared for this: 1. Buyer: "The Dude Who Could Ruin Your Life" and/or assigns" That "and/or assigns". He can flip the contract to another buyer or investor "without your consent". You think you're selling to "This Bad Dude", but it may close under a completely different name, or not at all. This is how wholesalers make money by reselling your contract. 2. 21 Business Days + Optional 30-Day Extension "Seller and Buyer ... on or before (within 21 Business Days)... Both Buyer and Seller agree to extend the closing date up to an additional 30 days..." That's up to 10+ weeks! with zero penalty if they delay. They can stall endlessly, usually to find someone else to buy your house. Meanwhile, your property is off the market. 3. Buyer Pays All Closing Costs "Buyer is to pay for all closing costs, including title company fees for the seller..." Sounds good but... The tittle company they use is commonly used by flippers/"investors" in Florida, It gives them control over the title company. They use a title agent who works for them, not you. That can mean slow communication, delays, or games with escrow funds. 4. "Management Approval" Clause "Offer subject to Management approval to be determined within 7 business days of acceptance." It means the deal isn't binding even after you sign. "We'll decide later if we actually want to buy." They can walk away during those 7 days with no penalty. 5. "Seller agrees to allow Buyer to market the property... to other potential buyers." They're openly asking permission to resell your property before they own it. They'll list your house online or show it to other investors to flip the contract. 6. "Buyer has the right to assign the contract (in lieu of assignment fee)." They're reselling the contract. "In lieu of assignment fee" means they can profit inside the price difference instead of charging a visible fee. You'll never see how much they made reselling your deal. 7. "Offer valid for 3 business days". Their way of rushing you, pushing sellers into signing quickly before they get legal advice. 8. "Buyer is purchasing as-is, no repairs required." Combined with all their outs, it means they can cancel at will if they find anything inconvenient. 9. "Buyer has a real estate license." Legal disclosure (required by law). This is a professional, not an ordinary buyer, and they know how to write the contract heavily in their favor. 10. "Possession to be given within 21 business days..." "Possession" isn't tied to a firm closing date. They could argue for access or marketing rights before closing. 11. No Seller Protections or Default Remedies. There's no penalty if they don't close after management approval or title clearing. You can't keep their deposit, sue, or relist freely without risk of dispute. 12. "Force Majeure" Extension "If an event constituting 'Force Majeure', Closing Date shall be extended." Force Majeure is normally for disasters, but vague wording means they can claim "delays" for almost anything and stall further. 13. "Cash, no contingencies for financing." Seems strong, but with all their built-in delays and outs, "cash" doesn't guarantee fast or certain closing. 14. "Offer subject to one inspection walkthrough during management approval period." Red flag: That means they'll bring in their "buyers" (other investors) for walk-throughs -- not inspectors. It's how they shop your home to others before closing. No written permission for them to file a lien, but the way the contract is written, they could cloud your title using a memorandum -- which is exactly what some predatory investors do if you back out. Summary: Purchase agreement written to trap your house while giving the "buyer" every possible way to: assign it to someone else for profit, back out without losing money, delay closing indefinitely, use your property to advertise for other investors. You could be stuck for months. The "Bad Dude" might never close. You might lose other real offers while they flip yours. Definitely stay very far away from these people.

Mo has an extensive knowledge of the current real estate market and I immediately trusted his…read moreadvice as he has a true commitment and passion for helping and keeping the clients best interest first. As a first time home buyer, Mo made the process seamless and stress-free for me and I felt like I was working with a good friend rather than a real estate agent and closed on my home in just a few weeks. He was also very supportive after the closing and went above and beyond with his service. Highly recommend!

Heather was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home. What truly sets Marcus & Co Realty apart is their commitment to their clients even after closing. They provide access to a moving truck free for life whenever it's needed, which is an incredible benefit and shows how much they value their customers. Buying a home can be stressful, but Heather and her team made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We always felt supported, informed, and appreciated.

Instead of having a professional conversation, Marcus became extremely aggressive, argumentative, and hung up the phone. He was not open to our feedback and refused to help rectify the situation.

If you are looking for a real estate agent, then look no further! Joe is the kind of agent that…read morelistens to what you want, but then thinks with you using his market knowledge: asking good questions, providing insight into the area market and making helpful suggestions about what else to consider that I already hadn't. When we finally settled on a property to buy, he went the extra step of contacting the other agent and pre-negotiating a deal in a very competitive situation with multiple offers, ensuring that we ended up with it! I'm not sure how he did it but he also managed to get the sellers to agree to pay all of my closing costs! When a big issue came up during our inspection, Joe negotiated hard on my behalf and got me a brand new AC system rather than just a band-aid fix on the older one. Beyond all of that, Joe recommended a great lender, insurance company and property inspector. Every detail was handled smoothly and proactively. All in all, I have no hesitation saying that he is the best agent I've ever worked with. I recommend him highly if you want someone who can help you win a property in this competitive market and an overall smooth transaction.

I HIGHLY recommend!!
