My husband and I own 4 properties (1 personal and 3 rentals) and regularly monitor the interest rate environment, actively refinancing when it makes monetary sense. We had a long-term broker relationship with another group so I had little intention of switching when I walked in - just wanted to get a quote to make sure my current relationship was competitive. Turns out, Mega Mortgage was incredibly competitive, so much so that we immediately locked in a rate and refinanced. I tried to get my prior broker relationship to match Mega's rate but they couldn't do it... The entire underwriting process was extremely seamless - much less so that prior refinances we've done. We worked with Artur Bartosik from beginning to end so no passing off to more junior folks that don't have a good sense of the process; if you've ever refinanced with a big bank, you know how amazingly frustrating this can get. My husband moved jobs over the summer, so employment verification/salary could have been a pain, but Artur and team understood the situation without a hitch. Also, Artur responds to my texts (my preferred method of communication) which I appreciate. At close, Artur came to our home to sign documents which was much more convenient since we have young kids so didn't have to arrange childcare. With the recent rate drop this week, Artur at Mega Mortgage is pricing out additional quotes for our other properties which is likely to result in a second transaction within a month! Couldn't be happier that I casually walked into Mega's new office - great relationship-focused group of individuals that provide superior pricing.

We were so fortunate to have first met her while wandering through one of her warmly staged open houses. While most seller's agents we met at open houses tended to stay disengaged, Susan was welcoming and clearly was there to advocate for her client. Even though we didn't go with her open house listing, the true reward was getting connected to her for the rest of our new home search. While some realtors are just there to open the door and send you automated listings, Susan blew us away with her vigilant and thoughtful procurement of potential homes. When seemingly perfect listings popped up, we'd quickly hop onto our email to ask Susan for a showing only to find an email already in our inbox from her asking if we'd be free later that afternoon to see that exact listing. With each potential home, we were greeted by her kind smile and thorough data on not only the home but also the neighborhood and market. Her local roots and connections to the North Shore gave us the confidence in understanding and making the decisions needed to submit offers in an area where homes were receiving 10+ offers, tens of thousands over listing price. Susan provided constant communication and support. We never felt pressured, uncomfortable, or alone while working with her. I honestly have no idea how she has so little reviews online and feel like we really lucked out to have gotten her as our agent before more people catch onto the exceptional quality and service she delivers. If you're in the market for a home in the North Shore, you need to at least give her a call to experience what an exceptional realtor truly looks like. Oh... and she helped us close on our new home at the price point we had hoped for. Exceptional quality, service, and results - yes, she's that good.

A Masterclass in Incompetence and Poor Communication…read more I am writing this review to detail the profoundly unprofessional and ethically questionable conduct of real estate agent Randy Schulenburg, who represented the seller of a condo I wished to purchase. The sequence of events was as follows: My agent submitted my good-faith offer to Randy Schulenburg. The seller received our offer. Randy Schulenburg informed us that a "second offer" had materialized and instructed us to come back with our "best and final" offer by 5 PM the next day. Within less than two hours of this instruction, the property's status was changed to "Pending" on Realtor.com. Confused, my agent called Randy Schulenburg to inquire what was happening. He provided no explanation for the conflicting information but told her that we could still submit our best and final offer. We did exactly as he said and submitted an improved offer. After submitting, we heard nothing. My agent sent numerous emails asking for any update. After this period of unprofessional silence, Randy Schulenburg finally got back to her simply to state that the seller had accepted "the first offer." The complete lack of transparency is unacceptable. The entire "best and final" exercise, initiated after the property was already pending, appears to have been a complete fiction and performance art masquerading as real estate sales. The greatest indictment comes from my own agent, who stated that in her 30-year career, she had never encountered anything nearly as questionable as this. I cannot recommend Randy Schulenburg under any circumstances. My experience suggests you cannot trust the information he provides or the processes he manages. Dealing with him was a frustrating and shady experience that cost us time and emotional energy. Exercise extreme caution.

Just want to acknowledge Randy Schulenburg for who he is and how much he invests in his clients…read more If I didn't know better I'd say he thought about my situation more than I did myself! You can't fake great character. Randy displayed quality of character you can't pay for, and might I add, even when no one is looking! You will never regret having him on your team. I know I didn't.

As I was going through the home search process, I called half a dozen relators to find someone who was personable, easy to work with, and committed to making sure my priorities were being heard. Even from my first phone call with him, Ron was extremely dedicated to making sure that I was taken care of and my needs were being met. Ron is an excellent listener and is the type of relator who is not going to try and pressure you one way or another. He will listen to what you need and will aggressively go about seeing those needs met, even if he doesn't 100% agree with you (which in my opinion is the sign of an excellent relator). Ron has a ton of history in the area so he will easily be able to recommend lawyers, tradesmen, financiers, etc who you can trust and get the job done quickly with a great value. His website is always up to date, easy to navigate, and more aesthetically pleasing then most of the big box relator sites. And when it comes to the actually home purchase he will work with you through the whole home buying process... Not just showing a home and closing on it. For the BEST service, go to Ron Pifkin Realty. You won't be disappointed

He was able to facilitate a showing and drafted my offer, and counter-offer letter while he was away on vacation. The sellers had quite a bidding war on their hands. The personal letter he drafted on my behalf put me over the top. He was there every step of the process and really was great at being an awesome go-between for all parties involved. Someone who is dedicated enough to work for me during their hard earned vacation is someone who will work hard to make your dreams come true also! I have already begun recommending him to others I know who are in the market for buying and selling. I will use him again when I buy investment property in the coming years!
