Patience of a Saint
Jeff got in touch with me in Spring of 2020 about a year before we started our home buying adventure to give us an idea of what to expect through the process and what he's been seeing in the market. He sent us valuable market analysis and occasionally checked in with us over the phone. The following spring, we were ready to start our search and he has very knowledgeable about areas to look in or avoid, what we could do in homes to update them and what the rough costs might be, and in our first home purchase attempt, leveled with us on the realities of why we should or should not continue forward based on the inspection.
We ultimately backed out and told Jeff we'd go back to saving and try and transition from townhomes to detached homes and look again in winter when there was less competition. He was supportinlve and understanding, and when we finally started looking again, he was responsive to setting up showings and honest when we were looking at homes that were beyond help or hope. When we finally made a successful offer and went through appraisal and inspection, he was clear about what we'd need to do through closing and very helpful in finding additional information for us.
This whole process from first phone call to closing was about 1.5 years and through it all, he was understanding, patient and supportive, as well as always being available for when I had questions, wanted to set up a showing, or take a second look. His knowledge from previous experience in updating homes was also valuable in telling us what we could realistically do in a house to update it, or what couldn't be done and why.
If you decide to choose Jeff as your Realtor, and I highly recommend you do, you will have a strong ally and partner in navigating the housing market in Denver, with lots of connections to increase your success in making offers.
