I interviewed other prospective realtors prior to meeting with Rafe. From the moment he walked in my door, there was a difference in his demeanor, his professionalism and his rapport. I had the challenging situation of having one of the most expensive homes in the neighborhood, but Rafe was able to see the value in the home, and was determined to try to sell it at its true value. Two of the specific suggestions he made were unique to his philosophy: he suggested I do a pre-inspection and have my home appraised. That way not only was I ready for my buyer, but I was confident in my asking price. Throughout the process, Rafe returned my calls promptly, stopped by as needed to discuss concerns, and gave me guidance based on his many years of experience. I am extremely grateful to have had Rafe act as my realtor and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him to others.
