"Based on my experience working with this agent for nearly a year, I would not recommend him or his t… Read Moreeam.Throughout the listing period, I felt that the only consistent strategy offered was continued price reductions, followed by a suggestion that I consider a short sale. I was hoping for more proactive guidance, including a thoughtful marketing plan, feedback about my home’s condition and presentation, and realistic alternatives if selling was not producing results. Unfortunately, I did not feel those discussions happened.Communication was also a major issue. At times, I would wait several days for a response, and I was not kept informed about important aspects of the listing. For example, I was not given clear updates about how often the property was being checked or walked through, what feedback was being received, or whether the condition of the house needed attention.As a retired service member, I was especially disappointed that I did not see meaningful outreach to military communities. I also asked about the possibility of offering VA loan assumption/assignability, but I felt discouraged from exploring that option rather than being given a clear explanation of its potential advantages and limitations. When I raised renting the home as an alternative, I was told he did not know any property managers. However, once I said I would not be continuing our contract, he recommended a “friend” who is a property manager. That timing raised concerns for me.Overall, I left the experience feeling unsupported, underinformed, and without confidence that my home was being marketed or managed as proactively as it should have been. I encourage anyone considering this agent or his team to ask detailed questions upfront about communication expectations, marketing to military buyers, property-condition feedback, alternatives to price reductions, and referrals."
