I highly recommend working with Robb for all of your real estate needs. Where do I even start.
Before I get into our specific experience, Robbs responsiveness deserves its own section of this review. He understands how fast paced the real estate market can be and also gets how overwhelming it all can be especially for first time buyers, so he is responsive. I found myself telling him we did not expect his level of responsiveness and would totally understand if he needed a break! We could always count on a call or text back right away anytime we reached out.
We were first time home buyers and decided to make an offer on a new build in January of 2022. I am so glad we chose to go through the build process with Robb representing us and really looking after us in the most professional and caring way. We thought this would be an easy transaction as wed already picked the builder, subdivision, and floor plan we wanted and were ready to make an offer and thought wed do so and just make a couple design selections and be moving into a brand new house in just a short 6 months. Well that was definitely not how things went!
We faced many challenges during the build process. Robb brought his valuable and diverse experience to the table in so many ways that go way beyond what we anticipated a realtor helping us with. Robb is a seasoned realtor, and also has a background in construction, interior design, appliances, and electrical that make him a valuable guy to have on your home buying or building journey.
Throughout our build process, the builder blatantly ignored all of our communication attempts, withheld important information like our design selections or measurements to order appliances that would likely be back ordered, and refused to give updates on key details like the build being delayed months past the original closing date. Even as we were in an unfavorable position in a sellers market, Robb was able to get creative to find leverage where no one saw it to advocate for us and get us the answers we needed. If it werent for him we probably would be in a new house with no appliances and no idea if the materials used were actually the ones we selected. Or we would still be waiting for our house to be finished!
Additionally, between interest rates going way up weeks after making our offer and not fully understanding how new construction financing worked, other members of the transaction not providing us with enough information to make informed decisions, our build being vandalized (someone literally tried to light our new house on fire), understanding city code and our rights to inspections, nuances of new construction appraisals, and so much more, we had a great working relationship with Robb and were so grateful to have someone we could trust on our side.
Aside from his expertise and work ethic, Robb is a genuinely nice guy and you will inevitably become friends working together. While we usually had plenty of business to focus on, we did really enjoy chatting with Robb and look forward to staying in touch. 2022
Robb communicated with all parties & kept all informed of progress & problem areas. He could make quick decisions in the best interest of his client. This process would not have proceed as well if not for Robb representation of his client. 2022
Robb is the BEST realtor to partner with. We had such a positive experience working with him on the sell of our current home and purchase of our new home. He is patient and happy to answer any questions at all hours. Robb is also extremely responsive and easy to get ahold of. 2022
We had an amazing experience with Robb from start to finish. As first-time home buyers, we were mostly unfamiliar with the home-buying process, but Robb made it simple for us. He was easy to get in touch with, responded to questions quickly, and kept us regularly updated on the progress of the sale. He also answered all our questions thoroughly and gave advice on next steps before we had thought of them. 100% would recommend; the next time we move (which hopefully won't be for a while), we'll go with Robert Ascherin. 2020
I don't even know where to start! I could not have asked for a better agent. I felt like Rob had my back during the ENTIRE process of buying a home. He is transparent, answers any questions you may have- as a first time home buyer, that was really important for me. He had so much patience, always told my partner and I if we had any questions just to reach out. He was always happy to help no matter what the situation was. When it came to terminology, he explained. When we had questions about the next steps, he would describe thoroughly (honestly, we never really had questions about next steps because he was so on top of communication). Right before closing, I was worried about the yard being upkept before getting the keys and Rob went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. He told us no matter what, it will be done, but to not worry. And sure enough it did. I strongly recommend Rob to anyone who is looking for a home, especially first time home buyers. He is seriously the best! We certainly would have been lost without Rob's guidance. Thank you Rob!! You are the best!!!
Robb has been great to work with. He helped us purchase this house almost 2 years ago for my daughter to rent and now he helped her purchase her first home and sell this home. He's personable and guides you all the way. I highly recommend using Robb for your home buying/selling needs. Thank you so much for your help! We really appreciate you! 2020
My wife and I are first-time homebuyers and Robb was perfect for us. He came recommended from my brother-in-law who had used him last year when he was buying a house. Robb was extremely knowledgeable about real estate and construction. He helped point out things with the houses that we saw that my wife and I never would have even thought to bring up. He also responded to texts and emails really quickly. And as a final bonus, Robb also had an excellent selection of Star Wars shirts. Highly recommended all around. 2020
Robb kept us posted on any and all interest on our home, gave us feedback and suggestions along the way. He was always available when we needed a question answered and was considerate to our living in the home while selling. I would highly recommend Robb should you need a realtor.
The most competent, efficient, and powerful realtor/negotiator to represent you in purchasing or selling a home. His ability to navigate the most challenging of situations and resolve them without you ever knowing about them (until you need to) is what makes him an excellent realtor.
Important: He does not let any incentives other than fighting for your interests get in the way! He relies more on succeeding in the deal for you than allowing any other possible incentives to influence his approach. This sets him apart from all the other realtors in the long term and makes him rare talent. 2020
Robb was informative, friendly, helpful, never discouraged, and persistent to help us find the right home. Great follow through and ethics as well. 2019
I had the pleasure of working with Robb on the sale of my first home. We were in a position where we were building a new home and wanted to avoid a contingent sale on our old home. Not to mention, we wanted to do a single move rather than sell and temporarily rent a place during the interim.
In this situation timing is everything, so I began working with Robb towards the end of September to discuss our options and pre-plan for the sale. Robb followed up with us throughout the build of our new home to ensure we meet the timeline for the sale of the old home.
Fast forward to the beginning of January, when the the Builder for our new home gave us our 60 day notice of completion (luckily, the notice didn't have much effect on our timing as we had some knowledge on the build of the new home from my friend that works for the Builder and my Mortgage Loan Officer). At this point, Robb laid out our official game plan, made arrangements for pictures (which turned out fantastic by the way), and had the house listed in the timeframe we discussed. We had multiple offers and Robb had the home pending within 5 days of listing. After going over the multiple offers, Robb was able to sell the home over asking price and negotiated a short term rent back with only a deposit (which we got back). We did have some hiccups with the inspection, but Robb's knowledge and advice helped us get through those hurdles.
Overall, my wife and I were both extremely satisfied with the work Robb did on the sale of our home. Not to mention, he timed if perfectly and we were able to seamlessly move out of our old place and into the the new one!
If you're looking for a realtor that is responsive, knowledgeable, and WORKS FOR YOU-reach out to ROBERT ASCHERIN.
Note: We were trying to have Robb work with us on our new home as well, but the Builder we used doesn't work with realtors. Robb still reached out them to discuss our terms and gave us advice on what we should and shouldn't do even though he couldn't fully represent us. 2019
Rob is my kind of relator...laid back yet on point. It was a pleasure working with Rob to purchase my first home and the whole thing was a relatively seamless process. I move into my new home this month and am grateful to own a home in Portland. Thanks Rob for all your help and guidance with this somewhat intimidating venture.
Robb is definitely the agent to use. He was patient through the entire long process of us finding the right home. He was prompt sending us listings as they came available and was always available to view homes during our tight schedules. Thanks so much for your help!
I Had the pleasure of working with Rob for the sale of my house. He was knowledgeable and was able to sell my house as quickly as he said he would. He made the transition so easy for me. I would definitely recommend him !
