We recently purchased our new construction home from Rockford Homes. Buyer's Resource agent, Michael Marshall was exceptional during EVERY stage in the building process. Mike's expertise, knowledge & guidance was exactly what needed to navigate this somewhat difficult process. Undoubtedly, we would not have been successful without Mike's assistance. I would Unequivocally, recommend Mike and Buyer's Resource to anyone intending on purchasing a home or building a new construction. Thanks again Mike for your assistance.

We worked with Mike Marshall as first-time homebuyers back in 2009. It was a fantastic experience. He guided us through the process and provided information to help make educated decisions on our first home. We recently closed on our 2nd home and decided to use Mike again. His incredible knowledge and experience allowed us to navigate a tough real estate market. We started the search for our 2nd home in 2020. Having specific needs, we didn’t find our home until much later. Mike was incredibly patient. He was in touch regularly to provide market updates and valuable information. In a world today, where it seems as though everyone is a realtor. I highly recommend if you’re buying a home to seek a Buyer’s Broker. If we were to decide to be in the market again Mike would be our first call.

Fantastic experience working with Michael. He was very knowledgeable about selecting a quality house and we felt like we learned a lot about not just the purchase process but the every day practical ins and outs of owning and maintaining a house. The process went very smoothly, we felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire purchasing experience. Can't recommend working with this realtor enough.

We hired Mike Marshall to help us purchase our new build, and it was the best decision we made in the entire process! We weren't sure we needed an agent for a new build, but we are so glad we went ahead and hired Mike, as he was incredibly helpful through the entire process. Mike is very knowledgeable and walked us through the entire process, from choosing the right builder for us all the way through closing on our dream home. He helped us make important decisions and set expectations for every step of the process. We had the added challenge of trying to pick out floor plans and add-ons virtually (we lived out of state for the first half of the process), and Mike took the time to assist us with virtual appointments and help us make the right decisions for us. We can't recommend Mike enough!

Excellent!
Description of Work: Mike helped my husband and me find our new home. We had never been pleased with traditional real estate agents in the past, so working with Mike was a breath of fresh air. He was extremely professional and responsive, but never pushy. We felt as though he was really on OUR side, and the process couldn't have gone any better. We'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

This is the third home I've purchased with Mike's help. Mike promptly sends detailed information about homes we are interested in & set up set up home showing usually in a day or two. Mike is very responsive to e-mail & provides a wealth of information about the buying process. Everything from start showing to closing went smoothly.

Mike was a heaven sent help in this big task. He helped us search for the home and explained everything. He handled the negotiation with the sellers very professionally and got us a very good price on the house with the sellers paying our closing costs. Even after closing he was still so nice to provide us with contacts for a handyman, etc. Overall, he is not only a good real estate agent but also a likable and trustworthy person.
Description of Work: Mike helped us finding and buying our first home.

We were having problems with George. Our realistate agent that was under Michael. George was pretty lazy for a realstate agent. Bot George and Michael gave us convencing presentations on why we should hire them as a buyers agent, BIG MISTAKE. Buyer's Resource Realty services barely does any work for you except send you a computer generated list of houses with in our price range and selected area. They do not put any personal effort into helping us find the right house. They send us a big computer generated listing and told us to pick the house we want to see. Also told us to drive by the neighborhood before we decide to schedule a showing. We were not given any advice, they didn't give us any information on the school districts. We had to pretty much do everything our selves. The house we finally decided on wasn't even from the lists that Buyer's Resource Realty sent us. We found the house on our own, asked our agent George to schedule a showing. While trying to close on the house, it was a shortsale, so the banks already had a set amount they would pay for realitor fees at 5%, 2.5% for each buyers agent and 2.5 for the sellers. George would not take 2.5% even though we did all the work. We talked to Michael and he pretty much didn't care for the situation and told us we were SOL. We signed a contract stating that if they show us a house and we bought it, we had to pay them closing cost no matter what. I figured that is pretty much how the system works and didn't think twice before signing the contract. They knew we really liked the house and had to pay them the difference or find another house. At the end we had to pay George a extra 1000 dollars on top of what we paid for the house. This was our first house. I had been through the process with my parents a few times and it was nothing like this. They used HER realtor and the service was top notch. My parents and I were driven around in a comfortable SUV or Van and taken the the houses that the realtor thought would fit them best. The realtor too the time and effort to find out what my parents was really looking for and found houses based on their preferences and showed it to them. My parents really didn't have to put any effort into searching process. With Buyer's Resource Realty, you will be doing most of the work that an agent should be doing. I would avoid them at all cost. ** Reply to Michael Marshall** This report is not false, Just because George Black left your company doesn't mean that he never worked there. Our Experience is with Buyers Resource Reality Service, this report is on Buyers Resource Reality Service. We have 4 witnesses that met George Black and Michael Marshall at our initial meet. George introduced Micheal Marshall to us as his manager. If this was not true, the they lied to us to our faces. It is very funny that Buyers Resources is trying to defraud Angie's list claiming that this report is false and they have record of ever working with us. But they sure enjoyed taking our money. We have closing documents and an extra check that we wrote to Buyers Resources Reality Service. We would not hesitate to provide the proof. This just shows how shady Buyers Resources Reality is. For all the home first time home buyers out there, please be careful when buying your home and don't make the same mistake we did.
Description of Work: Michael is Georges partner and boss, he didn't do much for us except took our money. When we were having our problems with george, he did nothing except sided with George and told us either that we are SOL.

Response from Michael Marshall - Buyer's Resource Realty Svcs.
This report was not filed by our Buyer-Client (who we had a written Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement with) and was filed 11 months after the closing. George Black was the agent involved and I was his broker - Mike Marshall is not the broker and has never met the Buyer-Client or her boyfriend. George and his wife relocated out of state in September 2009, and this "complaint" is from our Buyer-Client's boyfriend (who is the Angies List member). Our actual Buyer-Client has NEVER contacted me to discuss any concerns or dissatisfaction with her home purchase experience or with George as a past agent. Neither has the boyfriend! We offer three different compensation options to consumers and this particular Buyer-Client chose the 3% option - which is: If she buys a home we get paid 3% of the final purchase price and if she doesn't we don't. The only thing she invested in while looking for a home was her time. At closing any extra commission, bonuses, kickback, gifts, or inducements paid to us (over our agreed upon compensation) is legally given to every one of our Buyer-Clients! Likewise, if the owner doesn't pay the full amount (the seller in this case got nothing - we were negotiating with the seller's lender) our Buyer-Clients are responsible for the shortfall. We cannot treat certain Buyer-Clients differently or with "special deals or exceptions" which would violate our written BRRS EBA Agreement and Fair Housing and Civil Rights Laws. This complaint is NOT from a Buyer-Client. We cannot do anything unlawful nor follow an unlawful instruction from a Buyer-Client. The report was filed 11 months after closing. Our Buyer-Client has never contacted us after the closing. There is no merit to the complaint - only about not getting an illegal inducement. Andrew

Was in search of my 1st home. Wasnt sure what or where to look...With the help of Mike Marshall, he helped me with a profile and started sending me many homes for me to look at...Then i could just let him know which ones i would like to see and he made all necessary arrangements for us to do so...I was looking at so many i felt guilty taking up so much of his time, but he was great the entire time...I did find my home and without his help i don't think i would have had such a great experience....thank you so much for making a dream come true...
Description of Work: Mike Marshall helped me from step one of this adventure which turned out to be a very pleasant one for me. Explained each phase of buying a home, from searching for homes, to lenders, credit , all the paper work, etc...I really don't think i would have ventured into this without someone like Mike...He was very honest, told me upfront his opinion on houses and what to look for.. And he was always available...
