We recently teamed up with Roger Banning to buy and sell our home, and we had a fantastic…read moreexperience! Roger was super responsive and always available, which made us feel like we had someone truly in our corner throughout the whole process. His knowledge of real estate really shone through, and he guided us through every step expertly. Plus, he had so many great recommendations for professionals such as movers, electricians and landscapers that made our moving process go as smooth as possible. We're definitely planning to work with Roger again in the future, and we can't recommend him enough. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, he's your guy!

Roger Banning and his team are the real deal. When we found out that we were relocating from out of…read morestate and needed to find our "dream" home quickly, we took the advise of others and reached out to Roger. Roger gladly agreed to help us and immediately went into action to set up the house viewings that we desired. That was no small feat as we had 13 homes on our list. He set up each viewing for later in the week as we knew we would only be in town for 1 1/2 days to do it all. He arranged for all 13 showings on a Saturday. He gave us fair warning to stay hydrated and to bring food in the car. He knew we had a lot of ground to cover and we were willing to condense everything into one day. After finding a winner of a home, we received a fair analysis of the home from Roger. He provided us his assessment: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Luckily, there was no "ugly". He arranged for us to return the next day for a final viewing before we had to leave town. We did the viewing and discussed the pros and cons of the home yet again prior to putting a bid on the home. Roger was thorough and thoughtful throughout our discussions. His team was helpful and meticulous and the process of buying the home went very smooth. We never felt pressured to act. Adjustments in the offer also carried on without too much discomfort, as there is always some degree of stress in this undertaking. Roger got us hooked up with great people who could assess the home, proceed with our purchase and title transfers, workmen, etc. He was very responsive to phone, email, and text messages. We highly recommend Roger Banning and his team.

I relied on Scott Stone's expertise on both buying and selling my home and I'm so glad I did. He…read moreknew the ins and outs of buying and selling which made it a much more stress free transaction for me. The timing when selling and buying is critical and Scott made sure we met every deadline. I did not have to worry about a thing being overlooked, because I had Scott looking out for me.

I think I might know more about restaurant realtors than the average person. Why? I've had 4 of…read morethem. I've done business with 4 different Restaurant Brokers here in the Valley, and Mel is clearly the best out of all of them. I'll explain why. Now most of them are "nice." They are polite, they will try to sell your restaurant. If your restaurant is an easy sale, they'll get it done. They all have years of experience, they are all competent. What separates the boys from the men, so to speak, is when the restaurant is not so easy to sell. And that was my case. This wasn't an easy sell. It wasn't the most visible location. And since I am related to the Landlord, I needed to make sure that the new owners are "right" for the shopping center, that they will help the shopping center, not hurt it. The first realtor that I hired, he takes 2 pics, throws an add in bizbuysell, and says "we'll call you when we get some action." 2 months later not one call. They didn't do any work. After the first day I never saw them again. Seems the biggest effort they did was in trying to get me to sign a 6-month agreement. Luckily I didn't. 2nd company takes better pics, again puts the ad on bizbuy sell, puts another ad on their own website, and after 2 months they've had 0 showings, but they said there is a guy from chicago who did time in prison for racketeering that wants to buy. Sorry, I can't do that to the other tenants. I can't make these things up. 3rd guy more like the first guy, puts up a mediocre ad and sits around. O.k. now we get to Mel. Why is Mel better than the others? There are several reasons, but IMO the most important reason- technology. ONLY Mel has national outreach technology, his site has all sorts of ways of reaching out to buyers all over the country. He gets thousands of hits because he doesn't just put an ad and wait for buyers to contact him, he is reaching out to buyers constantly. He is pro-active. I don't know all the details, but I know it works. He uses keywords and searches for buyers, not just wait for buyers to call him. We start getting calls from people all over USA. In the end, the buyers that we found were from the East Coast, and wanted to move to Scottsdale. Scottsdale itself became a selling-point for my restaurant. Another thing that Mel did very well was to make a high quality Video and take lots of good pictures. He also wrote good words for the ad. We had about 8 showings and had interest from a few, and in the end we actually were able to choose the buyers that we wanted, not the other way around where most people take the first buyer that comes to the table with a decent offer. A few other good things about Mel's company, is weekly updates. You aren't forgotten. You get an email every time there is any sort of activity. Now I know I can walk away from my business in peace, secure in the knowledge that we have a very nice family coming in to take over the space, and that they will be a great addition to the shopping center. If you have a restaurant that is easy to sell and you don't care about service, go with whomever you choose. But if you want great service, the very best technology, a fantastic video & pics... then go with Mel. Take my advice, I just saved you months and months of aggravation. Thank you Mel for a great job! Marco

Truthfully, I wish he was still my landlord-- certainly the best I've ever had. He is accommodating and reasonable, and manages to keep his demeanor friendly and casual without sacrificing professionalism. He's also a clear and prompt communicator.

These two have…read morehelped my husband and I buy and sell homes for a few years now and we are forever grateful for all they have done for us. The folks at Reckling Properties are patient, understanding and thorough in finding and selling homes. They have a strong understanding of the Central Phoenix market, although I am told they have gone out of their way to help find and sell homes outside this area. They are a great team, always responding to our calls and e-mails with prompt service and support and making sure all the details in each of our home sales and purchases goes over without a hitch. Specifically I have known Mark to aggressively follow up on any leads that might come in for the purchase of your home, following up with individual agents about the various home viewings and ensuring that the home is market ready, priced right and that the buyers know you are willing to negotiate. During negotation, Mark is warm and builds rapport so that when you are buying a home, you are certain to feel like you have negotiated the bests possible deal with the seller's agent. I love working with Reckling Properties and I highly recommend them. I am certain they have saved me time and money in our effort to find homes. They are also very fun! I love house hunting with them, they never give up and they always make me smile even when the search is fruitless and frustrating. You won't be disappointed with Reckling Properties.

They made us a cash offer for our home in North Phoenix, and we mutually signed a purchase agreement, but after the whole 10 day inspection period had transpired and our earnest money had not yet been deposited, the acquisitions manager who had presented the offer told us that his boss, Brett Kalina, had vetoed the amount initially offered, due to a market downturn. The manager asked us for 5 more days to figure out what they could do, but the company then ended up rescinding the contract and only offering to buy the home for 10% less than originally promised. We did not accept it. We are very disappointed with the company rescinding its initial offer, after having us wait in limbo for 15 days. It is not a good way to conduct business, since it's not our fault that the market "changed," and we didn't even receive earnest money as compensation. Brett Kalina never reached out to us to explain or to apologize for his decision. We advise any prospective home sellers in the Phoenix area to stay away from The Investor Hub.

It's amazing that Realtors that make a ton of money today, aren't held to any accountability. When…read moreyou purchase a home, it has become apparent that you need to have it measured for accuracy of the square footage of living space, as the realtors can misrepresent this item and it becomes the buyer's responsibility. Case in point, Aaron Helton of The Envision Team out of Tempe, Arizona. I contacted this agent, he ignored my call, and didn't know what the call was about. His Broker, Todd Smith, protected him and blamed us for not doing due diligence. I would highly recommend if you're looking for an agent to buy or sell a home with, do the research, I would not have chosen him, and based on his response with me after the COE, I would avoid any listing this agent has. As the broker had stated, it's up to the buyer, so choose wisely when you're hiring a Real Estate Professional, they're not going to protect or help you.
