Larry is very intelligent, extremely service-oriented, communicates clearly, always stays on top of the issues, has a sense of urgency when the situation demands, and seems to have a knack for steering you to a winning, cost-effective bid.
When we decided to find an investment property in Seattle, Larry was recommended by a family friend who had purchased two properties through him. Larry has great people skills. In our first phone conversation, we felt at ease and very comfortable with his style. Like our friend, we live out of state, so when our online search turned up a promising prospect, Larry offered to go see the property for us immediately. He took extensive photos of the interior and exterior of the property so we could closely examine realistic, unmodified photos. Based on his assessment, we felt confident to fly in to view it the next day.
Larry went out of his way offering to assist with logistical issues we faced in getting there. One of us, an Engineer, identified some permitting and structural concerns. Larry was quite conversant with these topics and was helpful in concluding that the risks were bounded and manageable. On his own initiative, he tapped into his network to get us second opinions and cost estimates on the issues, which confirmed our own estimates, and we decided to make an offer the next day.
Larry helped us structure our winning bid, the lower of three. Similarly, he had cost-effectively helped our friend win a 16-offer bidding war in 2018. Throughout the bidding process, Larry communicated efficiently and effectively with the seller and us. Each time we sent Larry a series of questions, he would rapidly reply with answers to every single one. We closed our property less than two weeks after first seeing it. When we later met the seller, also a Realtor, she stated that part of the reason she chose our lower bid was because of Larry's close coordination and hard work.
Larry is results oriented, solution focused, and has earned our trust completely. He puts his customer's interest before his own interest. We strongly recommend Larry, without reservation. read more
