As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the day we started looking to getting our offer accepted took only two months, and just a month to close on the house. Since we both work during the week, we could only go house hunting on weekends. We'd find properties online, send them over, and Nick would set up everything for us, fitting in at least 3 or 4 house tours every weekend. He really knew the market and gave us real, honest pros and cons for each area, especially around safety, location convenience, and long-term value. During the loan process, Jessica was amazing to work with. She was super informative, always on top of things, and constantly kept us in the loop while guiding and reminding us on how to prep all the required documents. Whenever a question or unexpected issue came up, she handled it fast and took the stress off our shoulders. NJV Realty made the whole experience way easier than we expected. We trust them completely, will definitely work with them again in the future, and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!
