ERIC LOWREY

Eric Lowrey was our Realtor who represented us (the buyers) when we bought our home in Cleveland Heights in April 2010. We had been looking for a home in the Medina area with another Realtor, and weren't finding a home for us that met our needs and fit our budget. My husband and I needed to find a house in the Greater Cleveland area and close on it within a month or two, as I was pregnant with our second child, due in early June 2010, and our lease on our Medina apartment was going to be up in June as well. We really wanted to be moved into a new home before the baby was born. Our Medina Realtor recommended Eric. We conveyed to Eric the criteria we were looking for in a house, and he found us lots of homes to look at in a relatively short time frame. Eric was very knowledgable, sensitive to our family situation, and just really went the extra mile in helping us find a house to meet our needs and our budget. We were very pleased with his help throughout the whole home-buying process. Even during the time period when the inspection was completed and when we were mostly just working with our mortgage broker to secure financing, he would "check in" periodically to make sure everything else was moving along in preparation for the closing.

Very bad experience from our very first meeting. If Eric Lowrey had not been the buyers Realtor, we would have immediately terminated our relationship. Poor communication and arrogance to go with it. All we wanted to do was sell our home and move forward, and Eric Lowrey seemed to almost complicate and delay the process. Several times we questioned his agenda, and he exploded with anger and resentment. We became more suspicious as time moved on about his bavior rather than the sale of our home to his clients. When it was all said and done, we quietly moved on and settled in to our beautiful new lifestyle. But, after some time thought it may be important to notify others about the possible difficulties one may experience when considering doing business with Eric Lowrey. Think twice and look elsewhere would be our advice.

Eric represented us in the sale of our house in Cleveland and the purchase of a home in Lakewood. Both transactions were very problematic and Eric guided us with expert professionalism the whole way through. His advice enabled us to secure a buyer within 5 days of going on the market. The house we found was listed as a "short sale," and he helped us through that as well. It was a long gruelling process that I don't recommend to anyone but Eric made it bearable through his constant attention and care of our situation. We really could not have done it without him. There were problems with both transactions which I cannot describe in this space but would be happy to share my experience with anyone considering a "short sale."

Was not sure how marketable her home would be. He gave a lot of good information about her house and procedure on selling a house in the general area. Also, gave information about buying another house. Only complaint I have is that he was extremely critical of her possessions. Told she would have to bulldoze inside of house. Kept repeating that she had too much stuff in the house. I felt embarrassed and ashamed. Very good on one hand, but on the other hand, he was obsessively critical about me and my stuff. Was not mean, but thought that he really should not do that because I felt uncomfortable. I am grateful for all information given.

We were relocating to Ohio from another state and had little working knowledge of the Cleveland area. Eric was an invaluable resource for us in many aspects of our move, but perhaps most importantly he saved us a great deal of time by quickly isolating the three or four neighborhoods that were a good fit for us and the type of house we wanted. We agreed with his determination and so were able to focus only on those areas and properties. As we progressed with our house hunt and found we had to adjust our desires based on the realities of the housing supply and market, Eric continually provided us with suitable properties to see. When we encountered properties that were serious contenders he gave wise counsel regarding the list prices and appropriate offers. When we finally bought, Eric handled the closing smoothly. Throughout our search he accommodated our erratic schedules with patience and good humor, and maintained an ideal balance of professionalism and friendliness.
