I feel like sometimes the work a realtor does is misunderstood. As first time home buyers seeing your friends buying new homes on social media, and then moving in, it seems to happen so fast. What you typically don’t see Is how long it took them to find that house, how many they saw, the negotiations of terms and the constant going back and forth from text, to phone call to email, and then the process it takes to get everything worked out and take it to the closing table and all the other things! I know as a buyer it can be super stressful going through it all, but imagine the realtor... they are having to do all the negotiations and paper work, and scheduling and connecting you with inspectors and then the lender (who also has a ton of things going on on their end too!) and then they have to set up appointments, spend the time to educate you, even risking the loss of their time if you decide to back out in the end and so on... and this is not with just you, but their other clients too who they are doing the same thing with.. it’s a lot and I’m sure there’s more, but I’m just saying, it’s not an easy job and you have to have a good realtor who knows what they are doing because it’s not something that you can simply do on your own. It’s not just about finding a realtor that will get the sale done, it’s about a realtor who goes above and beyond to make sure your are taken care of and nothing is left unknown. Mark is a realtor who walks you through every step of the way. Who works with you and helps you because maybe, if you’re like us, you have no idea what you’re doing! Mark rocks y’all! He did all of those things and more! We saw multiple homes that we would have jumped on and immediately and regretted later. As my husband and I walked around the homes looking at the cosmetic things, Mark walked around and pointed out flaws in structure, electric, plumbing and more that we wouldn’t have thought of otherwise, because we didn’t know. He isn’t a realtor just trying to make a sale, he truly cares and wants you to make the best and smartest choice possible for you and your family. He found us the most perfect home. It checked off all the boxes. It had minor flaws that he got the sellers to fix before move in, he got us an incredible deal under asking price in a market where people are offering 1000’s over asking price. Not only this, we were in no way ready to buy a home when we first reached out to Mark. He paired us with the best lender, Luke Hamlet, who partnered with us to educate us on what we needed to do to qualify for a home loan and worked with us all the way through to closing day. If you don’t want to leave anything on the table, and you want to make the best decision on your home purchase that fits you and your family perfectly, you need to call the Costello Group and talk to Mark. This was the best experience and we are so grateful!
