Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.

Exceptional reviews that reflect a pattern of excellence with my past clients.

Raving Reviews

Nikki Wright was the agent that I worked with. She was knowledgeable, professional and understanding. We worked with her for almost six months and although there were some stressful times (none of which reflected on Nikki) we couldn't be happier to have a beautiful home in the Country. We were very lucky to have had the opportunity to be her first clients and we wish her continued success in the future.
I listed my mother's home for sale through Mez Espiritu. This was a painless experience from beginning to end. The communication from Mez was exceptional without question. This was my second time using this agency and will most certainly contact them with any future transactions. 5 star agency for sure.
Barry is very knowledgeable about the real estate game. We meet in his office for a one on one to discuss what I was looking for and when I was looking to buy. He accommodated my unique search timeline and gave me some valuable information and tools to aid in my search. If I'm ever in the market again I will call on him.
My husband and I were absolutely amazed with the level of support we received from our agent. As first-time buyers we really had no clue what we were up against. Rachel Lewis made herself available to us 24/7, if we had questions she had answers, if we had a problem she found solutions. She literally worked day and night to help us obtain our goal. We found our dream home and completed closing in less than 30 days! Truly an awesome experience. Thank you so much!
My wife and I attempted to sell our home in the spring/summer of 2017. We did our best with due diligence of all of the potential agents/agencies and reviewing all of the lessons learned from the web. We finally did 3 in-home interviews and chose an agent ‘we thought’ would work for us. We were so terribly wrong. We signed a 4-month contract and the house did not sell. We experienced all the nightmares one could experience. Luckily we had no urgent need to relocate and decided to wait until 2018 to sell. Once again we reviewed all of the agents & agencies and decided on listing with Barry Jenkins & Rachel Lewis of Better Homes & Gardens. As soon as they entered our house the difference between them and other agents was so dramatically different we knew immediately will would list and sell with them. They noticed even small items during their walk-thru that others never saw. During our sit-down discussions, we knew immediately they were heads and shoulders above all other agents. I related interviewing real estate agents in many respects to buying a car; they all seem to be ‘cloned’ - they all have the same spiel. I know anyone reading my review can totally relate to this and how does one make a good choice when everyone is cloned? Enter Barry Jenkins & Rachel Lewis: huge difference between them and all of the others. Their assessment of our home was ‘spot on’. Unlike other agents whose so called marketing strategy was to list a home on the Internet and cross their fingers, Barry & Rachel laid out a comprehensive marketing strategy that was both innovative and common sense in its approach. 1St was to get the house appraised (Barry paid for this), 2nd was to take ‘high-definition’ (very impressive) photos of the house (previous photos of our house were with a hand-held camera with standard definition), 3rd was to have a 3-D “Matterport” movie of our home. The yard sign held flyers listing selling points of the home but a 2nd flyer was made available to potential buyers during a showing that had photos and other selling points. This was SO VERY IMPORTANT. All real estate agents list homes on the MLS but what sells the house is “Marketing Marketing Marketing”. With the results of the appraisal back, we decided to list the house $100.00 below the assessed value. Of course we all want a million dollars for our home but we do have to be realistic. Our home sold in days instead of being on the market for months or not selling at all. Barry Jenkins has a superb team that will sell your home: photographer, Matterport videographer, office support personnel, and even the paralegal who handled all of the closing documents. My wife and I are 1,000 % satisfied and give Barry and Rachel 10-stars in a 5-star rating system. Everyone on his team was always responsive and professional. Barry & his team should be rated #1 in the nation.
Tyler Nash is the awesomest, coolest agent with Barry Jenkins. Tyler was there from day one and never let go. Was always willing to head out the same day if he could to show you properties and basically held our hands through this process because we needed it. Better Homes & Gardens rocks!
