comparable sales data from the vicinity, his professional experience as well as input from a contractor skilled at residential renovations, Mr. Solomon convinced me that a relatively small amount of cash for improvement to the property would net a substantial return on the investment. Mr. Solomon helped shepherd the process of renovation, recommending an experienced contractor and engaging the contractor periodically to ensure that all aspects of the renovation were properly completed. After renovation, Mr. Solomon arranged for an open house that brought in almost 40 potential buyers. Following several offers, Mr. Solomon, based on his extensive real estate experience, guided me in selecting a buyer whose offer and financial situation would be most likely to qualify for the mortgage loan and thereby avoid a situation in which escrow might fall through well into the escrow process. True to Mr. Solomon’s recommendation, the offer I accepted was more than 25 percent higher than what the estimated listing price for the residence would have been without the renovation work Mr. Solomon suggested. After I had accepted the offer, Mr. Solomon engaged with the escrow company and throughout the escrow process provided me with guidance in completing documentation, engaged with the buyer’s inspector, acted as an intermediary in addressing the buyer’s requests for repairs or upgrades, and kept me informed of progress. Throughout the process, Mr. Solomon was highly professional as well as personable, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Anthony Solomon to anyone requiring realtor services. Stan Kresowski
