First, I'd like to say there's not enough STARS in this review board.
Allen performed way more then 5 stars.
My wife and I have been looking at property in Idaho for several years now, since our granddaughter and great granddaughter live in Lewiston, and my cousin purchased in New Meadows a few years ago. Most realtors, we contacted, would send us listings of homes even though we asked specifically for land. Then I found Allen, or he found me in one of my searches, don't remember which and doesn't matter. Allen did searches for land daily for the southwest region of Idaho, far from his location, and even set me up with a Collaboration Updates Board, which allowed me to pick and chose properties I was interested in seeing.
All this time, many months, Allen kept in constant contact with us by email, and phone contact, almost weekly if not sometimes daily. We had some specific requirements for the land, I was looking for.
Allen helped us weed out the undesirable pieces of property, by digging into and providing information on each piece of property, that not necessarily was contained in the property listing, i.e. he would call listing agents for additional information we were requesting.
We finally settled on viewing about five properties, and Allen agreed to meet us at one property first, which I can say was more then 4 hours from his office location. After we met at first property, Allen escorted us to the other properties and stayed with us the whole time. Allen even walked the properties with me. We selected one property to purchase, and then I really learned the value of working with Allen.
Allen walked us through the purchasing process daily, literally. He kept in constant contact with Seller's agent, Title Company, and even some local government offices for us. Allen would even call me on weekends, after I sent him an email on Friday night asking some questions. Allen even went so far as to go back out to the property and take measurements for me to the well and electrical transformer, so I didn't have to make another trip from out of state to get those measurements.
Would I recommend Allen as a Real Estate agent? Definitely so, and I will recommend Allen to anyone I know looking for Real Estate in Idaho.
Allen is a very personable, understanding, and an excellent real estate agent. One of the most important qualities of Allen is he listens to his client, but not afraid to offer suggestions either from his vast experience, which more than once helped us to make a difficult decision.
Allen is a very hard working professional real estate agent and even consider him a newfound friend.
