Scott W. bought a home in Ventura, Ca

We were referred to Team Szakos by the Dave Ramsey Local Provider Program. We met Erik Gladish at the Team Szakos office and were educated on the market and process of buying a home. Erik took additional time to schedule a Zoom call where he showed us the benefits of owning vs. renting! Erik was always readily available and responsive in showing us homes and answering all of our questions. When we found our dream home, the listing agent had 50 showings in the first week and told everyone they would be reviewing offers that Monday. We submitted our offer on Friday and opened escrow on Saturday, due to Erik moving quick when the opportunity arose! Team Szakos and Erik were also able to skillfully get us over $7,000 in credits towards repairs! We would recommend Team Szakos and Erik Gladish for all buyers looking for a pleasant and professional experience!

Pamela H. sold a home in Ventura

Mike did an outstanding job from start to finish. I interviewed 3 different realtors and was impressed with Mike from the beginning. He brought things to my attention that the other realtors didn't even talk about - like being thorough with the process so you don't get sued after your home is sold. I loved his marketing strategy for my home. My home was under contract within 10 days. His skills in working with the buyer gave me a higher initial bid and then he was able to further leverage a second bid to get an even higher offer. As we approached closing, I was struggling with the move, so he volunteered to help. He was always super responsive, which is what you need during this process.

We chose Team Szakos because of their commitment to detail regarding our home. When we hired Team Szakos our agents were Brent and Kathy. They took care of everything, and we could rest easy knowing they would find the perfect buyer. The pricing strategy that they suggested brought us 10 qualified buyers with an approximate purchase price of $50,000 OVER the asking price. We had expectations regarding our final net proceeds and Team Szakos exceeded those expectations. Brent and Kathy guided us through our home sale with ease and were always readily available to answer any questions we had. We highly recommended Team Szakos and our agents Brent and Kathy Courter.

Raquel M. in Ventura

I met Team Szakos and Erik Gladish on a zoom call, he showed me an amazing presentation with all of the Team Szakos Guarantees. Erik even went out and FaceTimed me to show me homes, due to me living out of state. Team Szakos and Erik were able to get me into escrow on my most desired home in a very competitive market, by acting quickly! When the appraisal came back $9,000 under asking price, Team Szakos got the seller to reduce the price to match! Erik stayed in AMAZING communication with me during the entire time, made a complex transaction understandable, and had my back through and through!

Team Szakos showing strategies were phenomenal, I got 8 solid offers above asking price in 1 day. Team Szakos kept us informed throughout the entire process, relieving my stress so I could focus on packing! Team Szakos charged us more commission than another realtor had quoted but they followed through with their promises and our house closed escrow within 30 days of being listed. I trust Michael Szakos and I would recommend him and his team.
