Pierre was 'assigned' to me several months ago by a manager at another real estate firm seemingly uninterested in my business. This was not a good sign, I thought at the time. I was very happy though when Pierre contacted me right away to inquire about my real estate needs and other general information. This was to be a longer term process over the course of several months, and Pierre was consistent with his communication with me, and was able to answer - or dig up the answers - to my many questions without fail. After changing companies and beginning to work with Engel and Volkers, Pierre maintained contact with me for another several weeks through phone and e-mail, and constantly updated me on any new listings. A large part of his service was weeding out properties that did not fit with my requirements, thus saving me lots of time and energy. My eventual purchase - a property that had been taken off the market weeks before my visit to the area - was made possible, I'm sure, by his people and negotiating skills, as well as the teamwork at Engel and Volkers. I got the property I was looking for, at the right price, in the right location. I believe the vendors were actually happy with Pierre's gentle and diplomatic persistence. I would highly recommend Pierre for your real estate needs. He will work hard for you.
