DEL MEYER

This was my first purchase of a home but Del was not my first realtor. I found him after having a less than fruitful experience with another person. My initial impression of Del was tentative since he didn't have the typical overwhelming-salesman personality that I had come to associate with this profession. He was matter-of-fact and business-like. Not having purchased a home before, I don't have previous experiences to offer a comparison. With that said, I believe that many of the problems I encountered (none having to do with Del) were typical of purchasing a home. At every obstacle though, Del provided information (not advice) for me to make informed decisions. While I knew that he was working on commission and that the more time I took to find a house the less money he was making, he was adamant that I take as much time as needed and not worry about the time taken for me to find the "right" house. Perhaps it was because it was my first home but this process was very emotionally draining and I became impatient at times. Del was skilled at easing my fears (while being realistic) and helping me to understand the many steps in the process. After comparing my experience with others I feel very blessed and thankful.
