Chris Howlett was my Realtor and I met him at an open house. He instantly got me set up on his portal which displayed properties matching my search criteria. I found a gem of a place for a steal of a price on a sale-by-owner website almost immediately after it went live. I asked him at 8pm at night if we could go check it out the following day. He knew we had to act fast, as I woke up to an email from Chris stating he would get back to me about viewing it. By the time 10:30 am rolled around, I was placing an offer in the condo for well under market value while edging out other interested agents. This market rarely ever allows buyers to purchase a place for a price like that, but I got it! I gained instant equity and am more than happy with my experience. I am a first-time home buyer and Chris showed me what to look for and expect in this ever-changing market. Thanks to him and because he actually cares about people like us, I was -ALWAYS- prepared. I would refer Chris to anyone whom may be looking for a place to buy.
