My Highest Recommendation!
We were moving from Boston, MA to Claremont, CA and needed help finding the right place from a distance. If you are moving from far away to Claremont, the best way to go is with a trusted real estate agent. We tried using Craigslist and various web sites, but we ran into the issues such as places not being posted until a week before, outdated listings, agents that wanted to charge for access to listings, places being rented very quickly, and last but not least, multiple scams that we fortunately identified and avoided.
From our experience, I can highly recommend Curtis Real estate, in particular realtor John Baldwin. John went above and beyond to help us find the right place. For example, to bridge the gap he kindly went to various rentals and shot videos with his flip-cam and uploaded them for us to review, which as absolutely amazing! Since he's been working in Claremont for some time now, he was also able to give us the low down and history on many of the rentals, the landlords and the neighborhoods. We found him very easy going, on top of things, extremely helpful and honest. In the end, he landed us an absolutely great place, with more room than we expected a great landlady and wonderful neighborhood, all within our designated budget.
So, needless to say, when we are looking for a house in Claremont or surrounding areas in the upcoming years, we will be calling on John Baldwin again.
Thanks John for everything! read more
