"We were first time homebuyers and our journey—and after seven offers I believe that I can call our search a journey—wouldn’t have been successful without the friendly, experienced, and caring guidance of Travis Forsyth. Despite hours of watching HGTV shows about buying homes, we were about as clueless as a pair of hobbits leaving the Shire for the first time in our lives. Luckily for us, Travis was there to lead us on our epic quest for a new home. Like Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, Travis is a wizard at his craft and I’d like to share a few things I found out about him:
1) “A wizard is never late, Frodo, nor is he early; he arrives precisely on time.”
One of the first things that really impressed me about Travis was that he was always on time. He never left us waiting outside of a property and he was always reachable by cell, email, or text. We knew that he had many other clients, but from our perspective, it felt like we were the only ones with whom he was working.
2) “What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning; or mean that that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
When we met him in the morning Travis would greet us with, “Good afternoon;” and if he picked us up in the afternoon he’d say, “Good morning!” With him, every trip to look at properties was an adventure full of jokes and laughter. Travis made what could have become a wearying, stressful undertaking into good humored romp that we looked forward to on the weekends and have even missed, once or twice, now that we are home owners.
3) “You shall not pass!”
Travis always put our future happiness ahead of his commission. We searched out a lot of homes that we would then visit with Travis. It would have been easy for him to allow us to fall in love with properties that would have been nightmares in order to turn a quick profit, but he refused to do so. In fact, on at least one occasion he pulled in to a driveway, took one look around at the exterior of the home and the neighborhood and said, “Nope. I can’t let you live here.”
4) “I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
Did I mention that we made seven offers on homes before we were finally able to close? Throughout all of the ups and downs, the shenanigans and the heartbreaks, Travis was with us. When we bid on homes that we loved and lost, I knew that he felt pain right along with us. He was angry for us when deals were not honorably upheld. When we cried after losing the bid on our sixth home after 7 months of searching, we were not alone. Travis was there with us through all of it. And he was there on the other side of it when we found our new home.
In closing, let me just say that I highly recommend Travis Forsyth to anyone looking for an agent. He’s caring, professional, has an extensive knowledge of codes and home construction, and has the contacts and experience to guide you quickly and safely on your journey from home selection through bidding and on to closing on your next big adventure…YOUR new home." ★★★★★
