Gorden Mclaughlin

Working with Gorden and Silver Elk Realty was a 100% A++ experience. He is extremely knowledgeable of the market, the neighborhoods/areas, vendors, and home condition. He does not hesitate to point out issues to be taken care of and assists in any way possible with the resolution of those issues - going outside the box in many cases! His attention to detail is unparalleled, things that other realtors wouldn't even think of or consider! There were several times when I would be curious or wondering about something, if fixing this or that is necessary - and like magic, I'd get a communication from Gorden stating that exact thing should be fixed! Mind reader abilities...but that's just evidence that you are his focus! His work is always the highest quality and he is extremely responsive and timely. He operates by high moral and ethical standards, and will always do what's right vs. what's easy. And that's what makes Gorden the best realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with!

Typically, the process of selling a house is very stressful. Pricing, staging, repairs, open houses etc. can cause tension and stress within the home. But working with Gorden and Kemberly has changed the way I view real estate transactions. They are very professional and their expertise is unmatched. They know the market very well, and their marketing is top-notch. We actually sold our house for a higher price than we were expecting. They took care of everything for us, and had contacts for high quality contractors when needed. It is refreshing to work with someone who cares so much about a successful transaction who act in such a professional manner. I highly recommend Gorden and Kemberly and will always use them for all of my real estate transactions.

Gorden was Recommended by our son-in-law because of the expertise he displayed helping find, negotiate and close on their home and two other investment homes for his parents in less than one month. Gorden assessed our requirements, to sell two homes, one in North Richland Hills (NRH) and the other in Bedford; then to buy one in west Fort Worth during our first meeting. We started the process by selling the NRH home, then to sell the Bedford home, then buy a home in west Fort Worth contingent upon selling the Bedford home. Our first focus was on NRH home where Gorden assessed the market and recommended a sales price that was well with our expectations. Following his inspection, he provided a punch list for us to complete in preparation for listing and showing. He provided a list of service contractors to performed the prep work, and all were professional and cost effective we would also recommend them as well. Within a few days following completion of the punch list, the home was listed and he began marketing with an open house the next day. Within a few days, there were several offers on the home. Gorden began negotiations on the offers, and made recommendations to us on which ones provided the best value to us we still sold for list price even after repairs. From listing to closing was approximately one month. A few days after our NRH home closed, we contacted Kemberly to get some home staging/showing tips and she came to our home in Bedford the same day. She made recommendations throughout our home that would be least disruptive to our living in the home but most effective in marketing it. She scheduled a photographer the next day to accentuate the space and warmth of our home. Our home was listed the next day and we received a text message later in the day indicating that 400 people had seen the new listing and 13 had marked our home a favorite. Open house followed on Saturday. In addition to the open house on Saturday there were nine additional appointments scheduled for that day and an additional seven on Sunday. By Sunday evening we had seven offers, all exceeding the asking price. Gorden analyzed each offer and recommended the one that met our needs. It was $17,000 above asking price and permitted us to lease back the home for 2 months while our new home is being built. Upon inspection, it was revealed that we needed to replace the roof, but we only had two weeks until closing to complete the work. The roofing company Gorden recommended worked with us and our insurance company to get the roof replace in time for closing. Our second home, like the first one, was sold from listing to closing within a month. In our search for a new home we found a house we liked at Live Oak Creek in Fort Worth but we had a number of concerns regarding the lot on which it would be built. So, we asked Gorden to help us assess the issues of concern. He performed an analysis of the property the results of which resolved all of our concerns. The house is being built and should be completed in sync with our lease back option on the Bedford home. Gorden and Kemberlys communications with us throughout the process of selling our homes in this market was invaluable. The availability of Gorden and Kemberly, their competence and experience, their ability to explain, and their focus on representing us well was amazing. And what they said was what happened. I cant imagine anyone helping us through this process better than Gorden and Kemberly did.

- Gordon and his wife Kemberly were wonderful!!! They made my first home buying experience very comfortable and it went smoothly. They know the area and the process well. I trusted Gorden's opinion and trusted that he would lead me in the right direction and he did! I couldn't be happier with my new home. Thank you guys!

- Most recently, we relocated to Dallas from Southern California. We were delighted that we had the pleasure of working with both Gordan and Kemberly McLauglin. This dynamic duo is an amazing team. They are the epitome of servant leader showing us so much care, support, and knowledge as we searched for our new home. They were both readily available from start to finish to ensuring that we made sound / smart decisions in the journey to our dream home. We are so happy with our new home! We would highly recommend them for any real estate needs that you might have. They are truly FANTASTIC!!
