My wife, Jacqueline, and I were recommended Jeff Bechtold by many close friends. He quickly responded to our initial inquiry, immediately provided us a physical packet with his real estate information, and worked with our timeline. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and thoroughly educated us regarding the home-buying process. We were impressed with his solid knowledge of real estate, historical trends, and familiarity of specific neighborhoods. As first-time home buyers, we especially appreciated his directness and clarity. He created an online search portal specific to the location and price range that we requested. He quickly scheduled our requested house viewings and offered “food for thought” during our viewings which caused us to reflect and discuss things we wouldn’t have otherwise considered. When we decided on our house, he put rapidly put together a strong offer, and despite the current seller’s market conditions, managed to negotiate in our favor. Prior to and on the day of closing, Jeff carefully walked us through the applicable paperwork at the closing table and ensured its accuracy. We love our house and have no plans to move, but if we do, we will absolutely use Jeff again. He made the entire process transparent, thoroughly kept us informed, and was consistently one-step ahead of the process.
