Coldwell Banker Preferred

This review is for John Price at Coldwell. I couldn’t have lucked into a better realtor if I had searched for months. As a first time home buyer I had a very specific area I wanted to live in, but not necessarily the budget to do much in that area.
Our search was anything but smooth and quick, however John was a complete professional every step of the way. Not once did he try to talk me into spending more than I was comfortable with. We looked at countless houses together over a period of months, and I never felt any pressure from him. This was extremely important to me to find somebody that would advocate for me, not just look to make a quick buck.
We tried to buy a short sale, got rejected, then again went for the house at auction. This type of transaction is probably the most frustrating thing I’ve ever done. We dealt with countless delays to the settlement by the bank and were given the run around by the Ocwen customer service every day. Lets just say this required more than a little extra determination and work ethic on John’s behalf. Along the way I never felt like he wanted to give up and go for an easier deal. He actually encouraged me a few times to stay patient.
In the end John’s perseverance paid off. I truly believe that without his daily phone calls, emails, and eventually getting a lawyer involved, I would not have closed on my home.
I have recommended John to all of my friends, and my parents were so impressed they are going to use him for their next move. I wouldn’t use anyone else for my next transaction, and can only hope he doesn’t decide to retire before then!

kelly smaltz was our realtor for purchasing our first home. boy was she great! she helped us by tirelessly answering emails and sending us listings for multiple zip codes and neighborhoods. as we are not from the area we really had no preference on where to live, which i know made it harder for her.
she was so patient and helped us through the process answering tons of questions typical of the first time homebuyer. never once did we feel stupid or wrong and no question was left unanswered. she took us to see listings and was very helpful in getting us to see what kinds of homes we liked (and didnt like) through the process.
Coldwell banker also provided us with the option of financing through them, and Monica was a great help. she knows her stuff inside and out and we got a great rate. The whole team at CBPref Consh. is great. i recommend buying or selling with them!
