Arthur is AWESOME!!! That is really all you need to know but we are going to say so much more. My husband and I were first time homebuyers. Both are huge planners, somewhat indecisive, and probably would be described as picky. When we initially met with him and he told us his process and the average timeframe for his clients we thought he was nuts. Arthur was able to find and close on our house in total of about 9 weeks!
This was just one example of how good he is at his job. He knows the market, he knows the area, and he understands all the nuances that go into WHY a home will or won't work for you. And he will educate you on those things throughout the process; pointing out things you never would think or know to look at (especially good for first time homebuyers). He is a true professional when it comes to real estate and helping you find exactly what you want. What's more is, him and his partners expertise and knowledge helped us figure out not only what we wanted, but what we actually needed.
He is reliable and great with communication. We really liked knowing that he only takes on a small caseload of clients at one time to be able to both dedicate appropriate time to him clients and to spend time with him family. Something he was upfront about and we really appreciated on both a professional and personal level.
He is also honest. He told us right away him goal for honesty and communication with his clients. He told us the more we communicated about our needs, the faster we would be able to get into a home that worked for us. He was absolutely right and if you do it, I can say that he will not waste your time showing you things you are not interested in or can't afford. And there is no pressure to buy. He also did not make us sign a contract, something we were weary about with other agents. We both gave him our verbal commitment to work with him and shook on it.
Arthur is fun-loving, super organized, and even gave us recommendations about other home-related things such a great inspection company, painter and an electrician and has a complete list of provider's of home services. Lastly, and most importantly...he works hard for you! He is a master negotiator and even though we thought so before the escrow process, he shined once we got going. Because of his negotiating skills and dedication, we were able to get our house and be considered as only bid, despite another offer coming in. He also knows how to work with people whether it's other agents, sellers, or providers in the community. He is just great at what he does.
If you are looking for someone who really loves what they do, really knows what they're doing, and will fight hard for you...Arthur is your agent! read more
