Remax Home Experts

I work with a lot of Realtors & Real Estate Offices. I am very impressed with the way things go at Re/​Max Home Experts. John Benson runs a great office and ALWAYS puts their clients best interest above all else. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jonh or any of his agents to anyone. It’s refreshing to see such a great approach to customer service in a world that seems to have lost touch with that.

Awesome office to work with for your real estate needs. Mike Johnston is a great agent

If you’re looking to buy or sell Real Estate, I would highly recommend that you consider Remax Home Experts.
In full disclosure, I have known John Benson (RHE’s owner & broker) for over 20 years, and ultimately chose him based on our friendship rather than a referral or advertisement. That aside, from a business and professional perspective, it turned out to be the wisest decision we could have possibly made. Based on his performance and the performance of all of the businesses/​resources in his reach, I am absolutely confident he and Remax Home Experts extends the same dedication and service to all potential clientele.
Our situation was extremely difficult to begin with. We were in the waning months of recovering from a disastrous move to the Northern Mariana Islands. Because of the way mortgage entities operate, our forward financial projections (which were very promising) meant nothing, and we were stuck with the shaky positions of our past financial history during the qualification process. Further, while we had the means to pay for a mortgage on a monthly basis, we had very little in savings and virtually no leverage to bargain with should a tight negotiation ensue. All-​in-​all, we were very difficult clients from the start.
Further, the time we chose to look for a house was most likely the most difficult era for homebuyers since the 1970’s. While the guise of a ‘buyer’s market’ emanated through the media filter, the plain fact was that the terrible decisions of the financial industry and the repercussions of the collapse of so many financial institutions made it nearly impossible to secure a mortgage, especially given our personal financial situation.
Mr. Benson took all of this into account from the start and used a very diligent, realistic approach to help us buy a home. Sadly, he didn’t know what he was in for with us.
Over the course of almost a year, we looked at over a hundred properties and made several offers. Because of the difficulties with obtaining a mortgage (banks absolutely did not want to lend money to anyone at that time,) and a litany of other problems, such as, inspection failures, inept foreclosure processes, inabilities to obtain Occupancy Certs, etc… (you name it and it happened,) each and every offer fell apart.
In this time, I realized just how awful many Realtors and Real Estate Brokers can be at their profession. Many, many times, our intent to buy a home from a Realtor was squashed not by the seller or the financial process; but by the laziness, half-​hearted approach, or simply complete incompetence of the Realtor, him/​herself. My wife and I were astonished on several occasions by the tepid and duplicitous practices of many of these folks, and often, we found ourselves wondering how it was that these folks made any income whatsoever selling Real Estate. Trust me, our experience with 90 percent of these other Realtors was worse than my limited vocabulary can muster in this review.
Luckily, we were absolutely blessed with having Mr. Benson & Remax Home Experts representing us.
This was an extremely difficult process all-​the-​way around. John & his staff explained the potential difficulty from day one, and, rather than walking away from the start, stuck with us until the grueling process was at last completed.
On several occasions, Mr. Benson actually prevented us from giving it up altogether. Even in the darkest days of our frustration, he never lost his resilience and dedication to the job at hand; all the while maintaining a realistic and honest approach to the situation and the range of homes we should be considering. There was never a gimmick, nor a false-​promise given. Everything came from a sound, wise and competent perspective. Things we want are difficult to get. Mr. Benson clearly understands that and made an astounding effort to help us reach the ultimate goal.
My wife and I now live in a lovely home in Quakertown thanks to Remax Home Experts and specifically, thanks to John’s great strength and dedication to his profession. I’m not big on saying I couldn’t do something without someone; but in this case, My wife and I absolutely could not have done this without Remax Home Experts.
If you’re in need of a Realtor, take my advice; give Remax Home Experts a call.
