I am writing with great appreciation for the truly wonderful experience my husband and I had with Brian Williamson from Crye-Leike, who was our real estate agent as we anxiously searched for a new townhouse within our price range in Murfreesboro, TN (moving there from NYC). We really can't say enough about how terrific Brian was. For more than 2 years, he faithfully sent us weekly (and sometimes daily) online information and suggestions for places to consider.
So when we finally came to the Nashville area to get serious about finding a new home, we already felt like we knew the area a little, and Brian was amazing. Because of all his work with us beforehand, he totally understood what we were looking for. He did not try to pressure us into looking at places that were over our price range. He was friendly, fun, highly capable, and filled us with confidence that we would find what we were looking for.
We soon fell in love with a brand new townhouse Brian showed us, and he helped us make an offer and a down payment the very next day. Although new-build property prices are not usually negotiable, Brian still managed to get us a substantial refund at closing, enough to purchase all the extra appliances we will need. We were so surprised and grateful.
Before meeting Brian, we were dreading the process and worried that in the current crazy Nashville market, we would either not find what we wanted, or would have to make scary overnight decisions and act too fast. We were definitely not expecting to have such a good time!
Brian is a consummate professional who gently guided us the entire way, from visiting possible properties, to wise decisions about the price and financing. He stayed right on top of everything, and we never had to worry. And in the meantime, we had a lot of laughs! He is so nice, and so much fun. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have a potentially traumatic move (we've lived in our home in NYC for 40+ years) turn into something so effortless, pleasant, and entertaining.
We were conveniently able to do the closing electronically, without traveling back to the area for it, and Brian represented us throughout the process. He even did the walk-through for us, and we were completely confident that he would take care of everything. Every bit of advice he gave us was accurate, we got a wonderful price for the townhouse, a refund, and many discount options for appliances, moving vans, and tons of other stuff that we would normally not have access to, all through the Crye-Leike agency connections.
We would highly recommend Brian Williamson to anyone wanting to have a great experience buying (or selling) a property. He was a powerhouse for us. A huge thank you to Crye-Leike for giving us access to such a terrific salesperson. Brian is unforgettable and we will always be grateful. read more
