What clients say about this agent....
Norm did a wonderful job giving us advice on how to show our house, setting the right price, and selling it before it ever went on the market! He always responded to questions promptly. This was the smoothest real estate deal I have ever been through. My husband and I would recommend him to anyone trying to buy or sell a house.
A truly professional team. Norm and Julie Ann displayed exemplary qualities throughout our home buying/selling process. They answered my questions and concerns before I even knew what those were. Their knowledge of our area and the homes, styles, and features was incredibly impressive. My family and I would recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
We found Norm and Julie Ann to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. This was easily the best experience we have had in either buying or selling a house. We were incredibly grateful for the advice we received throughout this process and the outcome. I would highly recommend using Norm to buy or sell a home!
Norm and Julie Ann are great to work with. They are flexible with schedules and are very knowledgeable about the market. We had a game plan when we started, but our goal changed throughout the process. Changing our goals during the process did not stump or challenge Norm. Norm was able to be flexible and adjust to what our new goal was.
Julie Ann was able to get my listing up with only a few days notice and ultimately resulting in multiple offers. The entire inspection and closing process was easy and efficient. Julie Ann always made herself available throughout the process to answer questions and address concerns. Highly recommended.
We loved working with Norm and Julie Ann. They worked with us to buy a new our and sale our old one, providing guidance that helped us to make good deals quickly and efficiently. Norm is knowledgable and responsive.
We couldnt have ask for better. Norm and his team did everything to make this transaction easy. Would definitely use him again. They always answered our questions in a timely manner.
I just purchased a home and a buddy suggested me to Norm, and it was one of the finest things that could have occurred to me. When I contacted Norm, he was really kind, as is his custom. However, after meeting him in person and going to look at one of the houses, I was astounded at how knowledgeable he was, making you feel as if he was buying the house for himself, I mean you walking with a GC not a realtor, he knows what, how, and where to look when you walking thought out the house and if he see something wrong, he will evaluate it, tell you what is the problem, and tell you his opinion, not just limited to the house it self, also will look into the land, the city boundary, and the neighborhood. That was just Norm; just wait till you start working with his fantastic crew. Whitney and Julie. There are no words to express how magnificent they are. It all depends on your situation, but they will do everything and provide everything you need, and you will have to do as little as possible, especially if you are always traveling and busy like me. You will feel as if the entire process is on Autopilot, and if there is any issue along the way, they will let you know what it is in detail AND suggest a solution. I mean, I can't express how thankful I am to them in words.
When deciding to list this property for sale, I initially wanted to sell the property without an agent. Honestly, my past experience with agents was quite underwhelming and seemed like something I could handle myself. However - after much consideration and discussion, my wife and I decided not to sell this home ourselves. We proceeded to hire an agent, but went into the process with a discerning eye in effort to avoid another disappointing experience. So rather than hiring that friend who is an agent, or picking that agent who seems like a nice person - we went into this with an "all business" mindset, and got started by surveying patrons in the local community for recommendations via Facebook Groups.We had several referrals, and Norm was recommended by many...so we reached out to Norm along with another agent who was also highly recommended. Through our interview process, it was suggested to list our home for $190,000 by the other agent. However, it was the same dance we had experienced in the past - nice people, but they brought nothing substantial to the table in terms of market analysis to support their suggested listing price. It was another situation of going through the motions of selling homes - no real analysis, just data with baseless assumption. Then we interviewed Norm...and this experience was different - he prepared an entire presentation that broke down his method to analyzing the market and provided real support for our listing price...which happened to be $219,950. In addition, we discussed various "what-if" scenarios on market reaction. This meeting was far more strategic towards the goal of maximizing the ROI that could be extracted from the sale of this property. This made the decision simple - go with Norm! So we did......and yes, Norm was very professional, genuinely nice, and easy to work with throughout the process - which don't get me wrong, that's important...but nice doesn't sell homes or realize maximum return on investment. Our home not only sold on the first day of listing, but we got our full asking price of $219,950. Looking back, I realized a few things...1.) Hiring the other agent could've potentially cost us $30,000. So for those who read this review, and are considering to hire an agent - be critical over their process for determining value. Don't hire someone just because they're nice. Are they strategic and putting in the work OR are they just going through the motions? As you can see, hiring a realtor who's strategic in their execution can be well worth the investment. And I'll save you some time in this search by just going with Norm, because he hits the mark here! 2.). My perception of the home value was only worth about $190k (yes I was doing the same process as the other agent, just pulling comps and making a baseless assumption)...so had I tried to list this property myself, that's probably what I would've sold it for. So if you look at the numbers...that 6% commission (approx. $13k) generated $30k above my perceived sales price - netting $17k in additional proceeds. Plus I didn't have to deal with the hassle factor, time, and risk of screwing up the deal by doing it myself.Additional $17k in net proceeds + Hours of Saved Time - Hassle Factor and risk = no brainerThank you Norm and your team - not only did you maximize the return on investment with our home, you were incredibly professional, and made the entire process very easy!!
Team Norm, Julie Ann, & Whitney are superb!!My siblings and I sold two properties with themaEUR"do not hesitate to hire this knowledgeable and kind team of professionals! They quickly earned our trust and made the process easy from start-to-finish with data-driven research, expert recommendations, and consistent communication. Thank you Norm, Julie Ann, and WhitneyaEUR"it was an absolute pleasure!!
