Blake was very helpful throughout the entire sales process, from helping us determine a fair asking price for our home to coordinating negotiations with potential buyers and ultimately achieving the sale at our asking price within approximately one month of the original listing. He is very knowledgeable about the Darien housing market, did a great job disseminating property information using traditional and non-traditional methods, and maintained detailed communications with us from start to finish. We had moved out of state before listing our house with Blake and he went the extra mile working with us and ensuring a very smooth transaction overall.
I was not actively looking to buy a house, but when a property was brought to my attention that I couldn't pass up, I quickly contacted Blake. That same day, he got in touch with the selling agent, drove over an hour, and met me at the property. The next day we had an offer. And on day 3 we had a contract, then closed in less than 30 days. His dedication to helping a client is amazing. His knowledge, honesty, commitment, team of professionals (lawyers, lenders, support staff), and overall great human nature is why I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
I was working with Blake Smith for multiple months to find the perfect house for me to purchase. He worked very hard to get me set up on searches to find local houses in the area I was looking. He is very knowledgeable about all the different steps from searching for a home to the actual purchase. He assisted me with looking at and showing me multiple homes and was with me at the closing when I chose a home to purchase. He was always available to answer any questions I had. I would recommend him to any future clients.
After just closing on a house, I can say that I'd highly recommend Blake Smith and their team. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated Blake's experience and patience in working us through the process. I thought he would go above and beyond when there were issues by either calling my lawyer, lender, seller's agent, etc. whenever we ran into issues. Overall I can't say enough good things and I think whether it's your first house purchase or your experienced you can't go wrong in choosing Blake.
