Testimonials

This was my first home purchase and to say that I was overwhelmed in the beginning is an understatement! I had no idea where to even start, so Bret has been a godsend to me during every step of this process. From the moment I started working with him, Bret has taken the time to get to know me and exactly what I was looking for in a home. He was extremely respectful of my budget, as well as my concerns about buying in an area where my sons could remain in their current school zone. Bret painstakingly explained every process, even going as far as to answer my questions long after normal business hours. He knows his business. In fact, he had my "must-haves" down to a science. I bought the third house we saw! From the very beginning, I've felt that he's championed me. His expert advice has been invaluable. When I fell in love with my home, it wasn't enough to simply put in an offer. Bret called the selling agent and spoke to her personally, making sure my offer was submitted right away. He somehow knew how much it meant to me to have this home! When it came time to select a mortgage broker and a company to complete the home inspection, he was right there with a concise list of people from which to choose. I knew I was getting the best service for a reasonable price because that's just Bret. Even after my offer was accepted, he never faltered and constantly stayed in touch regarding paperwork and deadlines, again explaining in detail if I still had questions. Absolutely nothing slipped through the cracks! It has been extremely reassuring having Bret in my corner. Buying a home is a life-changing experience, one that I was initially very nervous about. Bret has gone above and beyond my expectations, time after time and I'm forever grateful for his dedication and expertise.

Bret Crino took on the daunting task of helping me to sell my house and simultaneously find me another house to purchase. Not only did Bret work around my time constraints, but he also made sure I was prepared with the tools needed to sell my house timely and meet my goals for the sale. During this hectic period, when other parties panicked, Bret kept his composure and kept the process moving. Much of his calmness can be attributed to his wealth of knowledge and having assessed the situation and carefully advised every one of the options. His communication and diligence are greatly appreciated as he managed the sale and still found me a home to buy. Bret went above and beyond assisting me with acquiring local county information and contacts for all the agencies involved in this process. Thanks to Bret, my experience with all the vendors and this dual sell or purchase process has been terrific. My house sold within a few weeks and the homes nearby are still available. This could have been me, still waiting after three months. Thank you Bret for all you've done.

Mr. Bret Crino is professional and supportive. His knowledge of client needs and meeting realistic goals is first and foremost. When it comes to making a big decision on where to live, Bret took the time to provide information on schools, taxes, accessibility to major venues, and neighborhoods conducive to raising a family. He takes the time to discover what priorities I have before making suggestions. Mr. Crino's approach to dealing with clients is impressive and comforting. Knowing that someone is working on my behalf makes the process of selling and buying a great experience. I would refer Bret to anyone who needed professional advice and excellent service.
