  • Robert listed and sold my home

      Robert was very nice and very helpful, very knowledgeable

    • My experience with Robert has been the best experience I've had with not only real estate professionals, but just about any professional services I've needed.We were out of town buyers and were having a very difficult time finding any agents in the area who were helpful or would even take us seriously. We would find a home on the internet and send it to an agent only to get the run around or told it wasn't in a family neighborhood or even odd things like the shingles are hard to replace. We got just about every "you don't want that one" response possible from about 4 agents. We were starting to lose hope and feel like no one would really want to work with and more importantly FOR us.Luckily, one day I was browsing YouTube for videos about the area we wanted to move to and came across some cool videos from Robert about fun and interesting things to do in the area. Little did I know he was a real estate professional. Through the videos I got his contact information and threw a message in a bottle his way hoping he would be able to help us.Shortly thereafter, we found ourselves on a video conference discussing what we were looking for as well as setting realistic expectations on what we could afford and how rough the market in this area is right now. I appreciated his willingness to do a video conference instead of a phone call. It felt more personal since we were out of town.Currently in our area, it is considered a "seller's market" where the demand is higher than the supply which makes it much harder to find a home, let alone the perfect one. With this in mind we embarked on our journey together.After an extensive search, with the help of Robert using MLS, we found one that we really loved, but as the state of the market suggested, we were quickly outbid by other buyers.Finally, we found one that was just about right. It had it's wrinkles and rough spots and was a bit small, but we immediately loved it and asked Robert to take the reigns. Since we were from out of town, we couldn't tour the home before making an offer, a terrifying idea, but Robert was THE ONLY agent not only wiling to get out there right away, but he also took full HD 360 degree videos of the whole house for us with commentary. Previous agents weren't even willing to take more than two or three pictures of houses for us.Within a couple of days of this house being on the market, Robert's quick responses allowed us to make the first offer, and within what felt like minutes, he had the offer letter drafted and sent via email for me to e-sign and we were officially under contract.Robert picked me up at the hotel when I arrived in town and we went out for coffee before meeting with the inspector and he explained everything to expect and that I should ask as many questions as I can think of. Robert was nice enough to spend several hours that day at the house with me and the inspector as we went over everything. After the inspection, we received the report and Robert came back to my hotel and drove me to his office where we went through the inspection line by line. As my agent, he was not allowed to help me make any decisions, but I really appreciate his willingness to let me talk out loud about what and what not to go back to the sellers with.Once I had made up my mind, Robert drew up the paperwork with me right next to him in his office and went over it several times to make sure he didn't miss anything and we were able to send it back to the sellers that evening.The following couple of months were rough, including delays from appraisals and items not being completed by the sellers and we were forced to stay in a hotel room for a month, when we had originally planned for only a week.The only thing that kept me sane was knowing Robert was checking progress and contacting parties on a daily basis and keeping me posted. He really went way above and beyond his duty as an agent making sure no one got lazy and forgot there was a family sitting in a hotel room every moment that ticked by. He didn't have to do any of that for us, but he knew how overwhelmed we wall were and took a lot of that stress off of us.This process was literally touch and go right up to the last minute and Robert was there, on evenings and weekends, making sure that everything kept moving and that everyone was focused on getting this finished.If you need an agent, meet him before you decide on anyone, you won't be disappointed

    • We bought our home with Robert Contreras as our realtor. I would recommend using Robert for a number of reasons:1.) Robert is very open about what he can and cannot do for you. Now mind you, he can do an awful lot for you and has a vast knowledge of all things real estate related. He makes the time you spend looking and buying a house very easy because he is clear about what to expect. There are things that he (or any realtor for that matter) cannot do and is not legally responsible or allowed to do. He won't wait for an issue to come up to say, "Yah, sorry, no can do." He will tell you ahead of time, "Hey, this might happen, and if this does happen we have several avenues we can take and I have a list of recommendations for people who can help you." This was greatly appreciated and made us feel looked out for.2.) Speaking of recommendations, he has them. He has a lot of them. And he won't just hand you a list and let you randomly select one. He is genuinely interested in getting you a lender/loan officer who will work well with you and your expectations. He'll tell you, "This person will check up with you several times a day-- This person isn't that good with communications, but she's a numbers wizard and works miracles-- This person specializes with military/DoD-- Etc." He really goes above and beyond to make the experience comfortable and personalized for you. He doesn't want to just get the job done, and he never comes across rushed at all.3.) He makes himself available to his clients. He was at our inspection, our sewer scope... he even came for moral support/cheer-leading when we signed our paperwork to close. The fact that he makes time for his clients while being involved in so much is really what you want in a realtor. 4.) Robert also gives you a good idea of what to expect with your house. He wants the paperwork to protect you, he wants your home to be in a reasonable condition. For example, when we received the inspection report, he asked us to read through it ourselves first and make a list of repairs we wanted the seller to make and then call him. When we called, he listened and then read the list he had made -- many of which included repairs we thought were too expensive to request. He then negotiated every single repair on our list and his own, including the expensive ones. When we were unsure of how our lease ending would line up with our closing date, Robert went out of his way to try and find us temporary housing.Having bought a house once before with no drama/snags, I felt the bar was set fairly high this time around. But Robert Contreras absolutely surpassed that bar. Professional, funny, informative, and genuine, I would recommend him 100 times over. Not once during this process did either of us feel like we were unsure of what was happening or going to happen. He sets the standard for all realtors

    • Bob guided us through buying the perfect home for our family during this crazy seller's market. What could have been stressful turned out to be very enjoyable. We trusted Bob's knowledge and negotiation skills. In a multi-offer situation, Bob's personal letter to the sellers made our offer stand out and be accepted, even though it was not the highest dollar amount. Bob is a wealth of knowledge. He was always very responsive to our calls/texts/emails. He is trustworthy friend to have on your side!

      - Jessica Parson
    • Our experience with Robert was over the top. His knowledge in the field help guide us in the sell of our home. Robert was always in contact with us letting us know what was happening during the entire process of selling the home. Not only did Robert have the knowledge in selling the home he also became a good friend. I just can't say enough and would recommend Robert to anyone selling or buying a home. Thank you Robert
