If you are buying a house, or even thinking about buying a house, start with Jeff. He'll tell you…read morewhat finances and paperwork you need to get done, when, and in what order. He will be honest with you throughout -- always direct and never smarmy. He will return every call and text. He will help you understand the whole process, even the stuff you didn't know that you didn't know. He'll send you matches through the app and respond to your comments so when you are finally ready, he knows what you're looking for. Jeff will take you to see houses and will teach you about looking for water in the basement, checking out drainage and the foundation, warning signs and potential 'challenges', as well as being able to answer your questions about septic vs cesspool, how much electric you really need, sussing out if there is gas on the street (for a later stove conversion), and telling you how old the roof is just by looking at it. And any other questions you might have! If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out. He is so thorough and eagle-eyed that you can get excited about the hardwood floors and eat-in kitchen, knowing that Jeff will spot EVERYthing you need to be aware of. He's also really personable which helps when you're spending entire weekend days with someone. We had one crushing disappointment along the way -- not his fault -- and Jeff's straightforward "Okay, that's in the past, let's move forward" attitude was key in getting us right back out there (and we found our house THAT weekend.) He will guide you through the entire process, through closing, and make you feel -- the whole time -- pretty much like you are his only client. Once you close, and you need an electrician, a floors guy, a painter, whatever, Jeff 'has a guy' and if he doesn't, he won't quit until he finds you someone. We would use Jeff again in a second and wholeheartedly recommend him!

We were recommended to Stephanie by our banker and coincidentally, we ran into Stephanie at one of the open houses that she was showing and thought she was very knowledgeable and professional. We started working with her and she made the process very smooth and easy as first time home buyers. She was very patient, honest and transparent during the entire home buying process. She would take the time to get a sense of what we were looking for in a house and made sure to do the research. As she was showing us properties, she was very personable and it definitely shows that she knew her stuff and she was able to offer great insights. She was always responsive when we had questions and was with us at every step during the closing process. Overall, we thought Stephanie was very personable, responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. We appreciate all she has done for us throughout the process. We definitely recommend Stephanie and FILO real estate for anyone that is looking for a real estate agent. You'll definitely be in great hands!

As a first time home buyer you can only imagine all the questions we had; Stephanie was on top of it every step of the way with updates and helping in any way she could. Ryan is a wealth of information (very handy when you've never owned a home and aren't familiar with pretty much the entire inner workings of a home); He was able to point out things through every walk through (virtual and in person). We were able to find a perfect home thanks to all their help and knowledge! If you're looking for your dream home and great people to help you every step of the way, don't hesitate! Give them a call!

My wife and I recently worked with Jae to help sell our 1 bedroom and purchase a 2 bedroom. Jae…read moretook what can be an extremely stressful, complex, process and made it easy. Jae's response times are ridiculously fast. I don't think there was ever a time I needed to wait more than 30 minutes for Jae to respond to an email or inquiry I had. On the sale side, Jae was able to attract multiple potential buyers just days after putting the apartment up for sale. We had an excellent offer from a qualified buyer just 2 weeks after the apartment went up for sale. We were able to accept that offer and focus more aggressively on seeking a new home. And in looking for homes, Jae quickly learns the type of place you are looking for, allowing us to focus our time only on areas of interest. Jae is also 100% honest and will give you his honest opinion on properties, the neighborhood, etc. Never once in this entire process did I feel pressured by him to buy or take something to move the process along. He knew we were trying to find the perfect place, and was patient and honest with us through the entire process. I highly recommend him.
