Navigating trust paperwork and multiple decision-makers takes a calm hand. Jacob communicated clearly with our estate attorney, provided thorough market updates, and brought us three qualified offers.
“Reviewed the HOA reserves and building history with a fine-tooth comb.”
Before we removed contingencies, Jacob spotted an upcoming building assessment in the HOA minutes and negotiated a substantial seller credit to cover our share. That attention to detail was priceless.
