- Brenda GSimon is awesome. He's Straightforward, patient and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with how streamlined the buying experience was in such a hot market. Simon was always on top of things, thoroughly explaining every step of the process and keeping my interest in mind. I enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who's knowledgeable in this space and cares about his clients.
- MD LMy wife and I recently bought a house with Simon's assistance. I liked working with Simon because he was always available via phone, text, or email for anything we needed. On short notice, he could meet me during the day to check out one house quickly or spend the whole day looking at multiple listings. When we visited a house, he did a great job of being there to answer questions but also giving us time and space to explore the house. He used his experience to point out aspects of the house that we may have missed. If we saw a house we liked, he emailed us comps the same day. This was critical to putting together offers in a competitive market. In the end, we made 3 offers with the last one being accepted. We are very happy with our new home and the purchase went very smoothly. Throughout the process Simon was very engaged, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Simon to anyone in need of a great realtor.
- Margaret LIt was such a wonderful experience working with Simon. He is extremely responsive, helpful and such a pleasure to do business with. Simon is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my real estate questions that I had throughout the whole process. He definitely knows what to do in this crazy housing market. He got me the house for lower than the market value. I was so glad that I met Simon. I would highly recommend him and his support team who made our transaction so easy and painless. Thanks so much Simon Watson.
