| - Terry was exactly the agent we needed for our relocation from the New York area to Charlotte. We first explored a move to Charlotte a couple years ago, saw his video online and realized he had lived in Hoboken, NJ, where we were living at the time. We were looking to flee Wall Street for better weather and cost of living and we felt particularly comfortable because we learned Terry had helped many similar clients move from the banking world in NY to Charlotte.
Our move was pushed back, but I reached out again this year when we were finally ready to make a move, and Terry's guidance was critical. Like many people do, we had pre-selected several homes based on online photos before our arrival, but Terry counseled us that there is no substitute for seeing property in person. We did see those homes, but he also encouraged us to consider additional homes that he had found. As it turns out, the house we had loved online was our least favorite house, and the second house Terry showed us on our first day of the search was 100% perfect for us.
Here are our favorite things about Terry:
1) He lets you guide the process as much or as little as you want, but always offers helpful suggestions at the right time. He did not guide us to the most expensive house -- he was focused on getting us the *right* house.
2) He is a strong but reasonable negotiator.
3) He is extremely responsive.
4) He has good judgment. Terry will not hesitate to steer you away from a questionable purchase. For apartment-dwellers who have never dealt with houses, this is especially important.
5) He's fun to be around during a process that is inherently stressful. Don't underestimate the importance of a pleasant partner in this process.
I hope we never have to move again, but if we do, Terry will be our first call!
