Showed home in 2017 in East Memphis-Colonial-Yorkshire, Memphis, TN 38104. Review for Member: Buchi C. Offodile I discovered Buchi Offodile after calling my local bank's homeownership program. I am thrilled that, in a day of working with fancy, high-tech devices to find real estate leads, my experience with Buchi was really simple, straightforward and meaningful. Buchi reminded me why we really still need human realtors! Buchi was professional as he: Sent multiple, detailed property descriptions that allowed me to narrow properties to review. (Because of this I developed a better understanding of what I really needed and wanted). Allowed me freedom to move through properties while he answered questions. If he did not have an answer, he would do research or talk to other agents and get back to me promptly. Quickly turned around paperwork and/or gave me feedback if I showed interest in a property. Remained open minded, but didn't just tell what he thought I wanted to hear. Particularly, (Buchi pushed my thinking and educated me about realistic options based on his opinion of current market conditions.) Buchi followed common sense protocol as he: Announced in a timely manner when he was running late (and appeared within the time he estimated so I never worried while I waited) Met me at public places so I didn't have to “hang out” in unfamiliar neighborhoods while I waited (and Buchi even picked me up for viewings when I had no transportation) Used appropriate precautions when safe entry into and/or within properties was questionable Called me first to address time-sensitive information versus simply texting or using email Finally, Buchi showed his solid character traits as he: Opened car and property doors for me. (YES, COURTESY AND MANNERS MATTER!) Assured me that I was not wasting his time when we viewed properties that I rejected Kept a smile on his face! Bottom line: I would definitely recommend Buchi Offodile for first time as well as seasoned buyers due to his patience with me during this house-hunting process and his knowledge of the market. P.S. Unfortunately, we were not able to find a suitable property before I had to end my house-hunting time commitment. But Buchi, once again, won me over as he explained that receiving a “tip” - that I offered to him for his time commitment - was against realtor ethical code. I certainly will refer others to Buchi and re-engage directly when I'm able to make a deal!
