There is a definite air of intimidation in making a very expensive and fairly permanent purchase when buying a home. For me, I was a first-time homebuyer and for my partner, Enrique, it was his second, but he is in the real estate industry. When selecting a real estate agent, I really needed someone that was going to be patient and comforting. For Enrique, he needed someone that was knew the facts and figures. We both found the right fit with Joel. He was extremely responsive to my first-time homebuyer jitters and was always prepared for my questions with answers that were rooted in the hard numbers that Enrique wanted. I think it is always difficult to juggle emotions and logic, but Joel was able to walk the line between these seamlessly. We ended up buying a home that fit both of our needs and wants, after looking at many, and we were comfortable with Joel throughout the process. We are looking forward to many years in our new home and we thank Joel for helping us to achieve this.
