I had the absolute pleasure of working with Geoffrey Whiteside as my realtor when my husband and I decided to purchase an investment property. I cannot express how grateful I am for his outstanding guidance and expertise throughout the entire process. From the moment we met, it was evident that Geoffrey was deeply knowledgeable about investing in short term rentals. He took the time to understand my investment goals, preferences, and budget, tailoring his search to find properties that perfectly matched my criteria. He sent us a power point presentation on his experience and advise on investing in properties, which we found extremely helpful. What stood out the most about Geoffrey was his honesty and proactive approach to finding the properties in the best locations. He consistently kept me informed about new listings and even off market deals, ensuring we had access to a wide range of options. When we asked for his opinion on properties we were considering making offers on, he wouldn’t hesitate to tell us if the property was not in a good area or didn’t seem like a good deal. He had our best interest in mind and even took the time to look at spreadsheets we sent him so we could get his feedback on our deal analysis. We were very impressed that he was able to get us an off market deal in a hot sellers’ market. When it came to negotiations, Geoffrey proved to be a true expert. He skillfully negotiated with the seller, and secured an excellent outcome with the repairs we wanted the seller to perform. We felt confident and assured that we were getting the best possible value for my money. Moreover, Geoffrey and his team provided us with a network of reliable professionals, including contractors, insurance agents and home inspectors. Communication with Geoffrey was exceptional. He and his team were always responsive, promptly returning calls/texts/emails, and kept us updated on the progress at every step. I had a ton of questions and requests throughout the process, and he took the time to answer all of them and take care of all of my requests. Thanks to Geoffrey and his team’s invaluable assistance, we’re now the owner of a great investment property that perfectly aligns with our long term financial goals. Geoffrey and his team’s dedication, knowledge, and commitment to excellence have made this entire experience not only successful but enjoyable.
