Saffron Realty Group Review

I cannot say better things about Saffron Realty, and Ron Knoll.  Ron is one two owners of Saffron Realty.

My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers.  Neither one of had a CLUE what happens, what to do, who to call, and what any of these terms meant: escrow, easement, PMI, good faith estimate.  This was definitely a learning experience.

We were ready to go and needed a real estate agent.  We started off with an agent that had been in contact with my BF for at least a year.  After trying to set up a time with him to meet, he was out town the first weekend we started.  Not a good start.  So my BF looked on Yelp and found Saffron Realty due to their 5 star raving reviews.  (There is a reason for this rating, they are that good.)  He then forwarded the review to me and I randomly chose Ron to call to see if he was available.

In 2 days notice, he was able to pull several listings for us to go to - and our "criteria" wasn't easy.  We needed certain space and sound requirements that made it not so easy to just pick a condo.  And even if he can't make it on a certain day, he will send one of his other agents to take you around, which is great when you don't have a lot of time to find a place!!  He was accessible via email/PDA, so if you had a question for him, he would answer very promptly.

A short time after we started, we ended up calling off the search and having to cancel our upcoming showings because we had gotten engaged and were planning the wedding in a 6 month time frame.  Ron was more than understanding.  A couple weeks later, our situation changed and we now had to move out of our place and decided we needed to buy our first condo in less than 2 months and didn't know if this was even possible.  This didn't faze Ron.  He knew we could do it.  After locking down a building, and then a unit, then dealing with a difficult developer's agent, Ron kept his cool.  He even got us a lesser price when the developer said "it is non-negotiable."

As I said before, we were completely new at this.  Ron was with us for the inspection to bring up anything we didn't know to bring up or ask about.  He was there every step of the way.

We closed yesterday and Ron was right by our side.  (Ron has never missed a closing in 13 years.)  The closing itself was anything but smooth but it's all over and we have a wonderful place!  If you think you can't find a place and close in 2 months, go to Ron, seriously, he will make it happen.
