It’s taken a little time for it to sink in that I am actually a home owner at 25 years old. Today is July 10th and I finally got to move down to Lubbock, Texas!! I don’t feel like a short and sweet recommendation or review is enough for the work Jennifer (Agent, Jennifer Krusing) did for me. I am a former masters student at West Texas A&M and have worked hard to save up money to buy a house. With cash. I got a wonderful offer to continue my education at Texas Tech and get my phd.
At the time, before this process, I knew no body there, and I didn’t know what I was going to do about a house or where to live. So I googled a realtor and picked the first one I found. I told him I was interested in a few on Zillow and wanted to know if he could show me around the town. I told him my budget and that I couldn’t stray away from that because I wanted to be a cash buyer. He was adamant I up my budget and just take out a loan in order to find a nice house in a nice area.
When I met him for the first time he asked what I wanted to see and I told him I had been driving around for 4 hours and found 3 that would possibly work. One of these I found was a house I really loved. He showed me around that particular house and I told him where my offer was. He point blank told me I wouldn’t get that house for the amount of money I wanted.
Upon further investigation he offered the sellers above what my budget was and not what I wanted to offer…. on top of me finding the homes I wanted to buy and him not doing much to show me some he had found for me. I came to the conclusion that he just didn’t think the commission was worth it and neither was I.
So I contacted a friend that is a realtor here in Canyon and she referred me to Jennifer. I texted her that same day…and in about 35-40 minutes I was facetiming her in a house that was a potential candidate for me. Something no other realtor would have done. She never once told me I couldn’t find a house in my budget in a nice area. And she set out to do what seemed to be the impossible.
Not only did she find me a house… I closed on the house the other realtor told me I wouldn’t get for the money I wanted to offer… in 15 days. That’s right. I paid exactly what I wanted to offer to the seller. I didn’t have to do a single thing. She set up the inspection, she had a roofer inspect the roof, she ordered the home warranty, she did it all. And all I did was show up with a check to sign papers.
She not only made me feel special, she made me feel like I mattered… and what I was doing was a good decision and a good investment. If you are looking for a realtor that exceeds expectations and makes you feel special, Jennifer is the realtor for you. She made the hardest part of my transition into a unfamiliar town the easiest.
She deserves every bit of the money she makes and she’s worth more than I could pay her. Not only will she be my first choice when I sell this home, she’ll be my only choice. I cannot boast enough.
