STUDENT DEBT WIL COST THE REAL ESTATE MARKET 83B DOLLARS 420000 HOMES WILL NOT BE SOLD

"Plain and simple, we wouldn't have our home if it weren't for Bob. My wife and I were first-time homebuyers, and Bob helped us through the process every step of the way. It didn't matter that our price range was on the low side, given the LA market - Bob treated us like VIP clients the whole way through. He worked with us for over four months, sending us listings every week, going out with us to see several each Saturday or Sunday, always with a smile on his face and the most helpful advice. I was concerned that he might lose patience with us, because we were very particular about what we wanted, but he made it a point to make sure we knew that we were the customers, and that we called the shots about this very important purchase. That said, he protected us from a couple of potentially bad decisions. He actually steered us away from a couple of places with higher listing prices (and therefore higher commissions) than what we eventually bought, because, in his words, they were "money pits" that would cost us too much in remodeling, etc. When we finally found the perfect place, Bob knew just how to close the deal and helped us with every step, from the initial bid to renegotiations for repair costs to working with escrow. And we ended up getting a very good deal on this place - it's now worth considerably more than what we paid! Bob was friendly and humorous the whole way through, and he ultimately made what could be a stressful process a really enjoyable experience. Thanks, Bob! "
