Era Colonial Real Estate

So far she has done a great job putting our home on the market! She is very attentive to detail and put her customer first. I highly recommend her! |

I liked that they were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had issues with our builder and they were constantly going back and forth trying to make us the priority.

In the end, we actually received our asking price so we were very happy. If there was ever anything marginal in this service, I would say that she thought our house was priced too high, and through our own analysis, we disagreed. In the end we were right and our house sold for our asking, but this isn't uncommon for any realtor. Do your research before hiring any realtor. Know your house and fix anything that needs fixing. Realize this: the realtor's job is to market your house. Your job is to sell it! There is a difference. Clean your entire house and always have it ready to show. I think part of our success was our presentation. Everything was immaculate. You'd be surprised how many houses on the market aren't ready for selling, and they take a price hit because of this!

Whether you tell them in detail what you want or not, they will go out of their way to find you a house that fits right in. It is more than just a job to them, you will feel you are part the family with them.

My husband is in the military and got orders to fort hood. After looking at costs of renting vs. buying, we decided to purchase our first home. Our lender referred us to Allan Bishop. Allan talked to us about the whole process, and started looking for homes that would suit our needs. Allan was readily available for all of our endless, sometimes repetitive, questions and concerns. This was great as we were doing everything from a different state, so it meant LOTS of phone calls. We gave Allan our needs as far as price, locations, and sq. footage, as well as things that would be nice in a home, but not necessary. Allan came back to us with a list of homes that included everything we asked for! He never tried to get us to adjust what we wanted, or our price range. We came to look at the homes he had found, and chose our home that day. Allan stayed on top of paperwork, dates, and kept us very informed of everything going on. Allan did everything he could to make buying our first home as easy as possible. We closed on our home in July, and still Allan has kept in contact with us. If we ever buy another home in his area, Allan will be getting the call!
