My wife and I have bought and sold 9 homes in the last 40 years and we have seen our fair share of real estate agents. Shane is a not just a good real estate agent, but an exceptional one; he is by far the best one we've ever had. What stood out right away when we met him is his great desire to help us find the ideal home for us. He worked with us for several weeks before we made our house-hunting trip from LA by providing us on a daily basis the homes we would be interested in and helped us compile a top-20 list based on our specifications.
Its very apparent that he loves serving people and has a tremendous enthusiasm for the business of real estate. It also doesn't hurt that he is backed up by his extremely capable wife, Lisa, who is the brains and logistics expert behind Shane's energy and drive. They provided us with a binder that contained details of each home on our daily tour and pertinent information on the community - maps and data on shopping, stores, restaurants, and schools. He's not that super-extroverted personality who talks a lot, but has that just right touch of providing all the necessary information on a community that we were driving and then waiting to listen to our reactions to the community and the home. He has that winning personality and sense of humor that you feel very happy and comfortable with and driving the properties turned out to be very pleasurable task rather than a boring chore.
For every home we visited, he had helpful remarks on layout, good and not-so-good features and where we might need work done. He helped us compile a list of our top-5 properties and, when it came time to settle on our first choice and make an offer, he helped us figure out advantages and disadvantages of each one, rank them, and strategize our approach. We never had a shred of doubt of his honesty and integrity and that he was completely on our side.
Shane also has an extensive network of support entities of mortgage brokers, appraisers, inspectors and handy men, and knew most of the listing agents.
We were extremely lucky to have the Kilnkhammer team help us find our dream home and count our blessings that we had them looking out for our interests. read more
