| - First of all, a little bit about myself. This may be important if you find yourself in a similar predicament.
I had been saving up to make a decent sized down payment on a house for a while. I considered myself to be about a year away from being comfortably where I wanted to be. However, my landlord decided he wanted to raise his rent by 15% when my lease expired, and I didn't find this out until the very last moment. This was at a time when year-over-year consumer price indices were quite stable, so I flat out refused to pay the increase. Faced with the prospect of going month-to-month on my lease, I decided I needed to jump into the game early.
I did a lot of research on prospective rea estate agents. I had a couple of friends refer me to their agents, and I found a handful of companies on Yelp who seemed like they would be a good fit. I chose Myriad Real Estate due to the fact that they seemed to be very well regarded by first-time home buyers.
I made an appointment to meet with Danny, and the fact that the Myriad office is right across the street from where I work was a huge bonus. Danny gathered all of my information and told me what I needed to do to get the ball rolling. Essentially, they just needed a pre-approval. I gave Danny a list of homes that I was interested in, and I started filling out loan applications. Once I had my pre-approval, I got to meet Katrina, and we were out looking at homes the very next day.
I can't even begin to adequately describe how awesome Katrina was through this process. She patiently and perfectly explained every step of the process to me, and she didn't even seem to care that I would occasionally ask the same question twice. It seems like she truly loved what she does, and she must given the fact that it also didn't seem like she really had any time off. She was an excellent communicator, so I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way.
I also have to throw another plug in from one of the other vendors I worked with in this process. I will not name this person because it isn't an official endorsement, but I have a feeling that Danny and Katrina will know who I am talking about. I had concerns because, even though I ended up with plenty of funds left over after the process was complete, I was afraid of any roadblocks due to the fact that my astronomical rent, being month-to-month, was costing me a significant amount of money each and every day. This other vendor said, and I quote, "I wouldn't worry about it because you are quite literally dealing with the best realtors in the Phoenix metropolitan area". That's a pretty nice plug coming from someone who probably works with quite a few realtors.
Now I don't have a comparative analysis to rate Danny and Katrina's team against other realtors because this was my first experience using a realtor. However, I have done a lot of business with a lot of vendors over the years. I want to go so far as to say that Danny and Katrina rank at or near the top of the list in regards to any company I have ever done business with. I'll be referring my friends your way if any of them are in the home buying market.
