TL:DR - Wow! What a real estate agent! Todd really is the full package when it comes to real estate agents. We would happily hire him again and again! Todd helped us with the sale of our house in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Using the word "help" is an understatement. We have worked with several real estate agents in the past, but we can honestly say that nobody even comes close to Todd. He is the complete package when it comes to real estate services, and even better, all that comes at a discounted fee! We know that many who are reading this review may think, "What are we giving up?" and, "Is it worth giving up something for the savings in fee?" as these were our initial concerns in hiring a discount Realtor. However, as we will detail below, Todd surpassed even traditional full fee real estate agents in every domain, so we see absolutely no reason why anyone would hire a full fee real estate agent when Todd provides better service at a discounted fee. (1) Our relationship with Todd started about 8 months before we closed on the sale of our house. Todd came well prepared for our initial virtual meeting. This included information regarding his services, but more importantly, information specific to our property (market condition, competitive analysis, etc.). We were impressed with Todd right from the very first meeting. Todd had the right balance of business and warmth. There are several in the real estate business who are smooth talkers, but do not necessarily have the knowledge and skills that may be needed. This was not the case with Todd. Not only was he an effective communicator, but he also demonstrated his skills in terms of his understanding the conditions of the housing market. (2) Following our first meeting with Todd, several months went by because we got busy with packing, home repairs, etc., while we also spoke with other real estate agents, and particularly, a few online cash offer companies. Throughout this time, Todd did not harass us and gave us space to arrive at our decision on our own schedule. However, Todd continued to keep the lines of communication open by sending monthly updates "comparative market analyses" of our house, which included nearby listings and sales. We found this information really useful. (3) Once we decided to go with Todd as our real estate agent, it was full steam ahead. To provide some context, we both have very high standards for service providers. Todd not only met our very high standards, but he surpassed them in all domains of this very complicated real estate transaction. (4) Even though Todd charges a lower fee, the discount does not come from the buyer's agent commission - the entire difference in fee was borne by Todd. This made our house just as attractive to other real estate agents as other listings and did not put our house at a disadvantage. However, Todd still provided the full gamut of services - professional photography, 3D Tour of the property, floor plans, dedicated website, drone camera footage, MLS listing, etc., etc., etc. We did our research, and there was not one service that Todd skipped or skimped on. (5) Todd started the process with a comparative market analysis to help us decide our list price. While Todd provided us the information we needed and provided guidance as requested, he never pressured us to make a specific decision, and always stood by and supported our decisions. To summarize: Todd really is the full package when it comes to real estate agents. We would happily hire him again and again! read more

Todd Binns is truly the professional real estate agent you want to consider selling your property. There were several reasons I selected him as a listing agent. Originally, I had interviewed several agents to sell our home. We had also considered two agents we had personally worked with in the purchasing of our home in Colorado prior. I felt that most of them were lack luster at best. They were more interested in just getting a listing then to actually do a solid sell for us. We had considered selling our home and originally narrowed it down to Todd after he did a walk through and presented a solid plan to market our home in April 2020. He pointed out certain repairs and tips on how to stage the home when he did his walk through in June 2019. However, things changed and we quickly, and I do mean quickly, decided that we just wanted to relocate out of Colorado. We literally called Todd from Tennessee the second week of August and since we were relocating out of state and were on a contingent contract, our timeline was crucial. 72 hours later we went on market. Todd expressed to our agent in Tennessee that Colorado was still a solid market and he was confident we could be under contract in approximately two weeks. His estimate was spot on. In 15 days it went under contract. Through the inspection repairs (which Todd also explained his strategy on how to handle inspection objections during our initial interview) he guided us flawlessly through the objections. Each Friday starting with the first week and up through the final surrender of the property to the new owners, Todd provided a weekly update on the sale process. This kept us well informed as to exactly the stage we were in. As to marketing our home? We sold it at full price. His market analysis was spot on. His BPO comparisons were accurate and as part of the weekly updates, he would let us know what new properties came on market near us as well as what listings near us went under contract. I have sold 4 homes and never had an agent provide so much information to me on a weekly basis. While I cannot speak for Todd as a buyer's agent, had I been staying in the area, I would not have hesitated to use him based on his professional attributes that he exhibited during the sale of our home. I have no doubt he would have handled a purchase with the same accuracy and care needed. He was timely in everything he did which included responding to phone calls, texts, and emails. I never felt that I did not get a direct answer to any question I had. If you are in search for an agent, end your search here and now. Todd Binns with 4% Realty is all you need! read more

We interviewed via email 6 local real estate agents who on Zillow had a 5 star rating and Todd stood out to us on the basis of competency and value through his initial introduction. Todd was instrumental in the sale of a property that my cousin and I inherited. As such, this required an addition layer of communication with our attorneys each step of the way by Todd. My cousin and I were also living in two different countries and time zones than he. Todd was more than willing to accommodate for any time differences, travelling and overall us being busy working moms of young children. He was available by phone or email at any hour. Todd was also the liaison between us and a previous rental property management owner. Always on top of his appointments and punctual - we were able to trust him to act on our behalf as we were not physically able to be at the property to prepare the home through some repairs for listing. When we asked him for any additional market information above what he provided he was able to provide that and with detailed analysis. He supported our decision on pricing and gave his honest opinion. Together we came up with a sales strategy which proved to be successful as we sold at over asking and within a great time frame. His offerings included excellent professional photography and an aerial photo of the property which not all agents provide. This we deemed very important in attracting potential buyers. I have worked with real estate agents in other countries buying and selling homes where they were not tech savvy and this was a hindrance to an already not so straight forward process. A such I will not work with any agent who relies only on the use of fax to send documents for signing. E-signing is the most efficient and Todd arranges this with ease if that is what you prefer. His weekly summaries were concise which allowed us to easily catch up with anything that was done and needed to be looked at for the next days. Always on point, ethical, timely and organized which we greatly appreciated. We didn't get a chance to meet Todd in person unfortunately but he was incredibly personable and friendly. You would want him on your side. We highly recommend him. Todd provides a full service selection with 4% Realty! read more

We have sold three properties with Todd and there is a reason we choose him over others. He demonstrates competency, knowledge and excellent communication - a recipe for success. Todd was more than willing to accommodate for any time differences between the Buyer and Sellers. He was available by phone or email at any hour. Always on top of his appointments and punctual - we were able to trust him to act on our behalf as we were not physically able to be at the property to prepare the home through some repairs for listing. When we asked him for any additional market information above what he provided he was able to provide that and with detailed analysis. He supported our decision on pricing and gave his honest opinion. His offerings included excellent professional photography and an aerial photo of the property which not all agents provide. This we deemed very important in attracting potential buyers as their initial introduction to any property. I have worked with real estate agents in other countries buying and selling homes where they were not tech savvy and this was a hindrance to an already not so straight forward process. His weekly summaries were concise which allowed us to easily catch up with anything that was completed and needed to be considered for the immediate week. Always on point, ethical, timely and organized which we greatly appreciated. You will want him on your side. Highly recommended read more

I recently worked with Todd to sell my home on a historic street in Five Points/RiNO. Todd came armed with his research, knowledge and experience of both my neighborhood and a solid understanding of the type of buyers that would be interested in my home. We worked together to agree on price and sales strategy, and Todd was always open to my thoughts on the process, including not selecting the highest offer when the initial round of offers came through. The first meeting with Todd resulted in him telling me not to sell my house and/or to consider waiting until the start of next year's selling season to yield a high price. I appreciated the honest approach and know Todd realized even if I didn't sell now, I would be back later. There was no pressure at any time during the process--even when I considered taking my house off the market when we hit some snags with the initial buyers. To make the selling process more complex, Todd had to work around my pets and work-at-home schedule until I relocated out of town and was not readily accessible to be physically at my property. He was patient and flexible, and he was also readily available at any time I had a question or need. Lastly, Todd is a very personable and warm person. Working with someone who is genuine and low key is always a plus. read more

Working with Todd felt like working with a friend. There's no hard sell, no pressure. In the three real estate transactions in which we've worked with Todd he was incredibly responsive and available to us. He does his homework and if he doesn't have an answer he takes the time to get (the right) one. We'll admit we were hesitant to work with an agent with a discounted commission; we feared it meant discounted service. NOT AT ALL! He has a great work ethic and we really felt like our business was a top priority. We also feared that he wouldn't be as knowledgeable as the more expensive agents. WRONG AGAIN! He knows what he's doing. He's not one of those agents who just drives you around and waits to collect a check. We had a situation that became complicated quickly and he helped navigate the whole sticky thing to a great resolution. We sold a house a few weeks ago with his help and his low commission saved us over $21,000. Highly recommend him. read more

I want to thank Todd Binns for helping us purchase a second home in rural Colorado. We had begun our search last summer, and quit in frustration, unable to find homes in our price range. We began again in winter with Todd. Every home he showed us demonstrated that he had listened to our needs and budget. By the time we had visited 3 homes, he had found us the right one. The acreage exceeded our expectations! He was quick to return calls, answer questions and advise us on matters concerning the purchase. He contacted us regularly and gave us weekly summaries on the progress once our offer was accepted. He made sure to get due diligence papers to us in a timely manner and was ready for any situation we encountered. Our purchase was handled in a professional manner, making sure our paperwork was in order, deadlines met and that the closing went smoothly. We enjoyed working with him and would gladly recommend him to others. read more

In short, Todd was outstanding. Everything you want in a Realtor Todd provided. I want the phone to be answered when I call or I want a quick call back. Todd was always there and responsive, A+. I want a Realtor to be at my showings, if possible, and to explain the features of the home that otherwise might be missed by the potential buyers. Todd was at every showing he was allowed to attend in this Covid environment, A+. I want a Realtor that negotiates fairly with the buyer's agent and calmly builds trust that leads to a fair outcome. Todd was particularly great here, A+. Finally, I want a fair Realtor fee that honors the work of the agent but doesn't take a bloated fee from me the seller. Todd and 4% Realty accomplished this as well, A+. Why would anyone use a full price Realtor when you can have true Full Service at a far more reasonable commission rate. Look no further, Todd Binns and 4% Realty is the right choice. read more

Working with Todd made the process of buying and selling a home so much easier than we ever expected. He strikes the perfect balance between being totally professional and genuinely friendly, so it really felt like working with a trusted friend rather than just a business partner. Todd's responsiveness was a huge plus for us. He was always quick to jump on a call or shoot over a text whenever we had a question, which kept us feeling confident the whole way through. He really put in the work on the marketing side holding open houses regularly to ensure our property stayed front and center for potential buyers. The best part was knowing that Todd truly had our back. He always looked out for our best interests and gave us honest, expert advice throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Todd if you want a realtor who is hardworking, down-to-earth, and actually cares about your results. read more

Todd Binns of 4% Realty is a really great agent! Prior to contacting Todd, we had used a not-so-competent discount realtor group that, over almost three months, couldn't seem to get listing details correct, nor market our home so as to attract sufficient showings or interest (even though their own photographer said, "This home is beautiful and will sell quickly!"). Well, Todd's organization, thoroughness, clear listing information and approach resulted in our house selling on the first full day of listing with him! He was a pleasure to work with, put us at ease, and at each step was extremely helpful and clear. We would highly recommend Todd just on these attributes alone. But when combined with his lower commission pricing, he is the best! read more

Second to none. Todd, in my humble opinion, sets the standard for what you should expect from a realtor. From the start, Todd offered realistic expectations and timelines that fit our needs to sell our home. Some of the highlights from his services that we loved included up-to-date housing values as they changed, attention to detail when posting our home on various realtor websites, and weekly updates during the process of closing on our home. Due to military orders, I was separated from my family, Todd was able to work around two different time zones to make sure we received updates and critical information. Todd's professionalism is unmatched and he will exceed your expectations. 10 out of 10, would strongly recommend!!! read more

Wow! What a fantastic experience! I received a letter in the mail from Todd regarding a property I owned. His letter convinced me that it was a good time to sell and that he would be the right realtor to list with. He did not let me down! He did everything he promised. He was professional, highly responsive, and very accommodating. I have already recommended him to multiple other parties who are considering selling their property. He is by far the best realtor I have worked with. From weekly updates on the status from start to finish, to being readily available to meet any and all needs. If you are in the real estate market on either end, buying or selling, I highly recommend working with Todd. read more

Todd was amazing! Highly recommend! 4% is it, nothing extra or hidden. You deal with just Todd and nobody else. Very responsive whether text or email. He provided all the services the 6% realtors offer. He provided weekly updates regarding our house and the market/comps in our area all the way up to when house went on market. He gave helpful suggestions and recommended an awesome staging company. Once on the market, he hit the ground running and had an open house on day 2. House went under contract in 2 days. Todd continued to keep us updated all the way through closing. Great service and we saved money. We found him be looking at reviews. He lived up to all the positive comments. read more

We worked with Todd to sell our house in Highlands ranch and couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He was super organized and was a great communicator. He provided us with lots of options and scenarios to help us decide what level of improvement we could do for various cost levels. He helped us find subcontractors who were all super responsive. In the end, we sold our house "as is" in less than 2 weeks with Todd's assistance in finding a buyer. He did a great job negotiating on our behalf and we were extremely pleased with the whole process. Todd provided the best service of any realtor we have ever worked with and we give him our highest recommendation. read more

Todd did an excellent job selling our home. He was professional, helpful, and accessible through every step of the process. He recommended people to clean the carpets and deep clean the house in preparation for the open house, then he came by to give suggestions for the staging of the property. He did the open house and had 3 offers that day and we were under contract in 48 hours. Todd kept in constant contact with us through weekly emails and also kept in contact with the buyers agent to keep everything on track. The sale closed on schedule with no problems. We highly recommend Todd for any of your real estate needs. read more

We have worked with several realtors in the past but Todd by far has been the best we've dealt with! He helped us sell our house in only a week for more than we asked for. Not only is he a super nice guy and easy to work with but he is also extremely knowledgeable about the Denver metro area real estate market. He went the extra mile to make sure our house was priced right and that we had the best marketing plan to get the job done. He worked with us every step of the way from start to finish and was always available to answer questions or give advice. We would recommend him to anyone buying or selling. read more

Todd did an outstanding job of marketing and selling our property. He exhibited a deep knowledge of the real estate market and saved us thousands in real estate commissions. Todd's marketing efforts included a comprehensive market analysis, hiring a professional photographer, and making insightful suggestions for presenting the property in the best possible light. Our sales process involved some difficult issues with the HOA and appraisal. Todd's experience really showed in his ability to work with the various parties to resolve the issues in a manner that was positive for all involved read more

Working with Todd Binns of 4% Realty was a great experience. I had the opportunity to both buy and sell working with Todd. Combining knowledge, drive, and experience with genuine warmth and friendliness can be a rare find. Todd offered honest advice when we needed it and always kept our interests first and foremost. During the buying process, no matter what area we were looking into Todd came armed with information about the property and area. While selling he researched our area and house in depth and had solid advice and referrals. I would recommend 4% Realty without hesitation. read more

My father is a real estate agent and highly recommended Todd (4% Realty). We were not disappointed. Todd was very organized and made sure everything was in order with all the moving parts of selling our house. He also invested research on what we should price our house at and presented very good options on how to get more money with small improvements if we wanted. Having someone so on the ball is so important, in the past we haven't had as good of help as Todd and we paid the price. Certainly will use him in the future and have recommended him to friends and family already. read more
