He was extremely quick to respond anytime we reached out with questions, and is very knowledgeable about everything! He helped us get the house we wanted and also walked us through the entire process on fixing up and selling our house.

DAN BRASSIL: REALTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE! Searching for a real…read moreestate agent that you can be 100% confident in to meet your home buying goals and timelines? Dan Brassil is your man! My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to work with Dan to help us find and secure our new Saint Louis home. WE DID OUR RESEARCH We did research on about 10 different realtors, interviewed 4, and Dan Brassil was our clear choice. We picked him as he gave an immediate sense of comfort and confidence through his professionalism and deep knowledge of the real estate industry and home buying/selling overall. WORKED ON A TIGHT TIMELINE As out-of-state home buyers, we knew we needed someone who we could trust to have our backs and was equipped to manage virtual home tours and work on our tight schedule. This was a super important factor especially since we only had 2 months to close on a home. GREAT LISTENER & HIGHLY RESPONSIVE Dan listened to all of our preferences, set up our MLS portal in no time, and was incredibly responsive to all the homes we favorited and pointed to the pros and cons of listings we were considering across multiple dimensions like the neighborhood, construction quality, and more. MASTER COORDINATOR OF HOME TOURS We planned one visit to Saint Louis and Dan had lined up 8 homes for us to tour and scheduled them in a way that was most efficient and convenient for our flight schedule. We were highly impressed with his ability to coordinate all the private showings in such a streamlined manner. KNOWLEDGEABLE IN HOME BUILD QUALITY Every home we visited Dan educated us on home construction and pointed out critical facets to watch out for: from the foundation, to drainage, ducting, the types of wiring, flooring, basement integrity, sump drains, cracks in walls, down to the types of bolts used on the deck. Amazing! OUT-OF-STATE FRIENDLY As out-of-state buyers he visited homes on our behalf with his camera and a gyroscope, and uploaded videos to YouTube for us to review in a very timely manner. He made sure to cover every nook and cranny of interest and the virtual tours made us feel like we were actually there. PRIORITIZES YOUR BEST INTERESTS Dan was also highly proficient when it came time to make offers on homes, and had a strong sense of fair market valuations based on comps, and was able to figure out what a strong competitive offer would be based on seller agent intel, and what was just unreasonable. NO-FRILLS NEGOTIATOR When it came time to negotiate the terms of our agreement Dan always gave us multiple options to consider, laid out the pros and cons of each path, and shared his best recommendation. He always made us feel like we were in control even in tough situations. AMAZING NETWORK AND CONNECTIONS Dan is also highly networked in the real estate and home repair ecosystem and put us in touch with an amazing lender, title company, inspectors, and even helped us coordinate minor and more major repairs on the home with high quality contractors we knew we could trust. PERSONAL TOUCH With Dan we didn't feel like our home buying process was transactional in nature. He was always incredibly professional and highly personable and was a pleasure to work with. He made sure we were comfortable in our new home and also offered tons of local recommendations! OUR VERDICT: DAN IS THE MAN! Looking for a realtor you can trust to meet your goals, someone who is highly knowledgeable and professional, knows how to quickly navigate those inevitable curve balls, and always has your best interests in heart and mind? Then go with Dan - 10/10 couldn't recommend more!

My husband and I purchased property on 7/17/2015 from Mike McAvoy, now McAvoy Realty. Prior to…read morepurchasing, the single family residence in Creve Coeur Missouri was a single owner home that was purchased by McAvoy Realty from the bank. McAvoy Realty renovated the home in preparation for sale. Over time, various quality issues and violations were realized which would have never passed a city inspection. Upon further research, calling the City of Creve Coeur I was advised the only permit pulled was for a deck. This is a practice where an inspection form is placed in the window and remained while also working on the interior without the city's knowledge. Here was our experience with this business: 1)  FOUNDATION ISSUES: The foundation on the property McAvoy Realty flipped looked amazing at time of purchase.  The walls were painted but there were no obvious signs of issues.  Over time, horizontal cracks started opening up on all four walls of the foundation.  I then realized that major issues were filled with concrete patch then filled with drywall mud and painted.  All issues were knowingly concealed  and never disclosed.  Drywall mud is not to be used to fix horizontal cracking of the foundation, it is meant to hide.  And painting over top adds to the concealment. My foundation contractor is Terry Leach with B.R.S Basement Repair Services. When grinding he stated that he was surprised to see the unethical work that was done.  Proper repair is epoxy resin injection. The condition was there when the fill was applied by McAvoy. 2&3)  STRUCTURAL ISSUE / ELECTRICAL ITEM: To center a can light in the newly installed shower they cut a chunk out of the structural roof joist in the attic as the joist ran directly above the ceiling. Cutting a section out of a structural roof truss is not something any legitimate contractor would do. If McAvoy pulled permits, the electrical portion would have failed. ALSO -Shortly after moving in the power in the wall in the kitchen went out. Inside the wall, the main wire coming up from the electrical panel was cut behind the stove.  Three wires were exposed, twined and wrapped in electrical tape.  The tape melted and the wires separated within the wall.  My electrician stated that this condition could have burned the house down.  There was another location where this occurred within another wall that I removed. I have this documented with photos of both locations. Again, if permits were pulled when McAvoy did the work this would have never passed. 4)  ROOF ISSUES: When I closed on the property one of the counters was repairing the roof correctly. Building Inspection Addendum A1 to sales contract for 704 Country Manor Lane states "1-Seller to install new roof, replace flashing and any damaged wood at leaks." When I began having issues I referred to the paid invoice from McAvoy (Which took me weeks to obtain, finally stating without the paid invoice I don't have the shingle warranty and I will not close).  Kurt from AJAN LLC is on the invoice document billed to McAvoy but when I called the number it was disconnected.  If you google the address 10708 Lilac Ave 63137 as indicated on the repair invoice it is an empty lot.  My roof has had to have $5,000 worth of repair work (All documented) after your "new roof" was installed prior to occupancy.  I have had my roofer out five times after moving in. AJAN LLC appears to be a fake business who scraped the edges off, leaving the roof untouched in the middle and not properly fixing the conditions per the signed contract.I you are unaware, this roofing technique is a scam where the edges of the existing old shingles are removed about 3 feet off the fascia edge and the remaining old shingles and plywood remains un-touched and un-inspected in the middle.  Then the new shingles are laid over and at the edge it appears as one layer of shingles and the middle is 2 layers.  Legitimate contractors would not do this.  It is fraudulent per the specific written instruction and signed Building Inspection Addendum A1 to Sales Contract on our counter. This was done to limit cost at closing and sell the property. SUMMARY: The city of Creve Coeur only has a deck permit pulled during the time McAvoy Realty assumed the property and worked on the inside of the home.  This is concealment, only pulling a deck permit, gives the ability to post the permit in the window to trick the city when they drive by they think your only working on the deck when inside your violating code and building practices and nothing inside gets inspected. Furthermore, the elderly couple that lived here prior passed away and the home was not modified, painted, or worked on prior to McAvoy assuming ownership from the bank. Do your research on Mike McAvoy. I have spent thousands fixing things hidden due to unethical work done on this house. BBB, Missouri Real Estate Commission and Attorney General are getting complaints.
