A MASTER CLASS IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. That’s what it was like working with Hank Bailey. I recently worked with Hank in the purchase of my new home. I have been involved in the purchase and sale of nearly a dozen homes over the years, and never have I had such a pleasant experience as working with Hank.
As a corporate attorney, with a real estate license, I am not the easiest of clients to please. Hank surpassed all of my expectations of an agent. His knowledge of the local Atlanta market, especially Gwinnett County, is truly remarkable. In today’s volatile real estate market, buyers and sellers need a seasoned agent who knows and understands the market, has a strong working knowledge of the current market of distressed properties and the process to close such a property, has a varied and high quality network of related professionals (i.e. lenders, inspectors, etc.) to refer to clients that require such services and has the negotiation skills to get the deal done at the right price. Hank is a rare agent who has all of these qualities and has the added bonus of being a really nice guy.
Hank’s attention to detail separates him from the average agent. Hank listened to my needs and wants, which I have to say, were at times all over the place and ever changing. Nevertheless, Hank found listings that matched both my needs and wants.
Prior to visiting properties, Hank provided me with detailed listing information on each of the homes to be viewed. If I had a question, Hank either had the answer or quickly found the answer. My phone calls and emails were returned promptly. Rarely did more than a few hours go by before I received a response. Throughout the purchase process Hank worked with the relevant parties to coordinate a smooth transaction with an on time closing. He was present at every walk through and inspection, and followed up as necessary to make certain all open items were taken care of in a timely manner. His use of online tools made processing paperwork possible even when I was travelling. At each step of the process, Hank kept me updated as to the progress and let me know when there was an action for me to complete. You don’t come across a professional like Hank Bailey very often. I rarely write reviews, but I was so impressed with Hank, I am compelled to do so in this instance.
I closed on my house two weeks ago and love the house. I have no plans to move anytime soon, but when I do, Hank Bailey will be the agent to sell this house and help me purchase the next!
