They started by arriving at the property early and walking around, noting issues outside, which we waited for the realtor to open the building. They let me follow them around and pointed out various areas of concern and also areas that were well done. They took pictures of everything (literally they must have taken 250 pictures). I am surprised by how much these two guys know - they answered every question I asked. Several times they noticed something and then predicted what would happen when we turned the item on, and it happened exactly as they said. Just a few examples of the thoroughness of their inspection: Ian noticed an access panel to get into the attic crawl space and he literally crawled through the entire attic for 20 minutes so he could document the condition of the roof from underneath. Jay literally dug out two parts of the septic system to diagnose a potential problem that we could have down the road. Both of these guys went well beyond what I would have normally expected from an inspector. The inspection lasted about 3 hours. Honestly, the real estate agents were getting a little bothered that they were taking so long, but I was more than happy to let them take their time. They took every minute of that time to look at every part of the property and explain everything to me that they noticed might potentially be a problem. Once they were finished, I was told that I would get a complete report of the inspection within a day or so. Before the end of the afternoon I had the inspection report in my email and the next morning I received the septic system report. Both were well documented (the home inspection itself had 59 pages). Both were filled with pictures and diagrams along with descriptions of what each of them noticed. I have to say again - what an outstanding job! Old fashioned customer service along with expertise - not easy to find both in one package.

Without getting into the exact details of our situation... I can tell you that we contacted Elise based on Angie's List reviews. She responded within the day. She advised us about mortgage pre-approval. By the weekend we were pre-approved and looked at our first home with Elise. As we looked at the home, she pointed out many issues. This speaks to her knowledge of home condition. We had our rose-colored glasses on and she helped us to see clearly. Elise was always available to talk (and email and text) and drove all over to show us homes. She is very gracious and never accepted our apologies for dragging her around the area! Instead, she made us feel welcome. Jumping ahead to the time of making an offer... Elise knows how to negotiate! If you are like us... you throw those rose-colored glasses back on and want to give the sellers whatever they want so that you don't lose out on your rose-colored dream house! Elise helped us to see the power of negotiation. But she also knew when to let us up the offer. Once you have a contract, Elise gives very comprehensive advice for the next steps! She knows her stuff! You will not be disappointed. At property inspection time... guess what? We brought our rose-colored glasses again! We were excited and flitting from one thing to the next. When the serious problem came up... Elise found a chair..sat down... slowed down... and started asking questions of the expert. I noticed this and I slowed down as well. Time to listen and be prepared to make some hard decisions. Elise never told us what to do. She advised us. She supported us. She "talked me off the ledge" several times. When something important had to be done, she made it very clear. Elise gave us a valuable home-buying education! If you need a real estate agent, you cannot go wrong with Elise as your choice. I cannot imagine why anyone would pick another agent! Choose our hero...Elise Van Allen!

"I'm a 75 year old senior who was looking to purchase a home in Queensbury, NY. This wasn't my first rodeo, however, I have never been treated so poorly by a real estate agent. Aubrey sounded great over the phone, but that was my only interaction with her throughout the entire process of buying my home. I guess she moved on to her next client quickly, because she couldn't be bothered to represent me at the inspection or closing of my new home. She sent a guy I had never seen or heard of before instead. I don't think he was even part of her team. I understand I'm not buying a million dollar home, but after spending over $380K, I would ad lease appreciate a thank you card or some kind of acknowledgement from Aubrey. I didn't even get a closing gift. Aubrey seems very fake."

FAQs for real estate service projects in Slingerlands, NY
Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.
Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:
How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?
You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
