Buyer Rating:
We are from Michigan, and plan to retire in East Tennessee, but were completely unfamiliar with realtors in that area. Through internet searches, we found some land we were interested in seeing, and made contact with the realtors showing those properties. We also asked the couple who rented a cabin to us for our visit to refer a land broker/realtor, and they strongly recommended Rasa Baldino. Of all the realtors we contacted, only two replied to our queries, and only Rasa was willing to meet with us in person. She immediately understood our goals and requirements.
Our realtor, Rasa Baldino, demonstrated an intimate familiarity with the land market in the Sevier, Blount, and Jefferson counties areas of East Tennessee. She was able to show us parcels which met and, in the case of the parcel we chose, exceeded our expectations. Rasa guided us through the negotiation process, was relentless in securing the terms of the purchase from the owner/developer and his local agent, expedited the survey, and ensured that the agreement protected our interests. Her familiarity with the local surveyor, building and financial community led to referrals that proved ideal for our situation.
This is the first time we purchased land, and the first time we would build a home. We relied on our realtor, Rasa Baldino, to guide us through these processes. We quickly established an excellent rapport with her. She understood our goals, was willing to meet with us at her office and at parcel sites, and took the time to explain to us each step of the process. Rasa's turnaround on our voice, text, and emailed communications was always immediate.
We had very specific goals and requirements in purchasing land to build a retirement home in East Tennessee. We did as much research as we could from our current home in Michigan. Without the skills of our realtor Rasa Baldino, we would not have been able to find, secure, and purchase the parcel which met our requirements, and would still be searching. With her thorough knowledge of the local surveying, building, and financial communities, she also helped guide us through all the processes we will have to complete to build our home. Thought this experience, Rasa has been understanding, supportive, and protective of our interests.
