Oh yes, a soft-spoken realtor who promised to pay us if our home did not sell in 45 days. Unfortunately, this was not in the 'signed contract' and he now does not know what we are talking about. Saying we are disappointed in his service would be an understatement. After 4 months, an $11K price reduction plus our offer of an additional $5K for home repairs at closing, this agent only presented one offer & it was $90K under the original listing price he suggested. This agent had tremendous difficulty in publishing the MLS listing correctly, his photographer arrived on the wrong day & he only sat at one Open House for us. He is just another 'LISTER', not a realtor who is interested in representing the seller nor is he knowledgeable in this neighborhood. Be wary. Less

Response from Blair Ballin

Mrs. Davini did not mention that for the 127 days we had the home listed we had 22 recorded showings, and 3 open houses, which generated over 20 visitors. Never was there any guaranty of a payment. I advertise a Guaranteed Sale Program, and the concern was never brought to my attention until 1 day before the listing was canceled. Not allowing showings on the weekday mornings, and also not allowing any showings on certain days over the past 30 days makes it difficult for any agent to do their job. In reference to the MLS listing, Mrs. Davini acknowledged that after it occurred by saying, " I understand what happened with the MLS duplicate listings." In December she was requested to reduce price in line with market activity to no more than 330k and she would not go lower than 339k. That price remained there until I canceled the listing. Please also note Mrs. Davini's contract allowed either party to cancel at any time, and upon expiration of the contract on 1/31 she chose to renew. Less

I listed this home for sale with Blair on Friday - we had a full price offer the following day - Blair met with the buyer on Monday to inspect the home and firm up the offer. He kept me advised regarding the process and progress on a weekly basis. We closed the sale in less than 30 days. I am very impressed with the service I received from Blair and would highly recommend him for any real estate business you may have.

Blair did an amazing job and I have now passed his name out to anyone I know looking for a Realtor for buying or selling. He sold my house, he sold a friends house, he helped 2 friends buy a house and he also sold my parents house. All were in different locations within the greater phoenix area, Chandler, Scottsdale, North Phoenix. He does a great job of keeping you updated with emails and texts. We had several things happen/pop up at closing which was handled seamlessly and professionally and he got the home closed quick. If you want someone who knows how to buy or sell a home, negotiate a good price and get the home closed quickly, use Blair and his team. Less

I was impressed with Blair within five minutes of meeting with him. He met me at the Phoenix airport, and we quickly established a rapport, which was easy to do with his relaxed, humble, personable, light-hearted (yet serious, also) and professional demeanor. His knowledge, totally non-salesman personality and sophisticated sense of humor made the whole afternoon of looking at investment properties a surprisingly pleasant experience. When I decided to purchase a property, with thoughtful and completely non-pressuring guidance from Blair, he was efficient and exceedingly helpful in making the closing and purchasing processes painless. Once the purchase was complete, Blair's office even managed to find a reliable renter within three weeks! The entire experience was amazing from beginning to end--literally, one-stop shopping! I highly recommend Blair Ballin for anyone seeking to acquire property in the greater Phoenix area (or any area he operates in). Less

Blair was an amazing person to work with while putting our home up for short sale. He was very knowledgeable on all topics, he communicated well, and was always prompt with his responses to any questions/concerns we had. He worked hard to list our property and sell it in the same week. I would definitely recommend Blair to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.

Absolutely the best realtor team I have ever worked with. Really cannot say enough good about the whole team of experts that work together with complete focus, professionalism, and commitment to make your house sale happen!! Blair has a "can do" attitude that makes a huge difference in everything from start to finish. Blair (and Team) make sure that the house is listed at a value that can be supported by the area, he also uses every technology available to market the property aggressively. No detail is overlooked, from taking great pictures, to assisting with decisions that may arise along the way. If you are serious about completing a buy or sell, and you want to work with the "real thing", Blair and his team are the BEST!! Our property for sale generated 6 showings in 10 days with an acceptable offer at a time of year that other realtors had told us was very slow. Less

Blair Ballin is one of the most knowledgeable Realtors I have ever met. When buying my recent investment property, he focused on my specific requirements and found the "perfect house" for me. He helped me through the entire purchase process and went above and beyond to make it a stress free experience. I would highly recommend Blair to anyone looking for a personal home or investment property.

Blair provided exceptional service when buying a home. He was very knowledgeable about the local market and neighborhoods. He provided very frank and honest assessments of potential properties - an invaluable tool for a first time home buyer. He worked tirelessly to help me find my first place and highly recommend.

Blair and his team were extremely helpful. His short sale processor helped me through the entire process and made everything so simple. Bank of America was a nightmare to deal with (and is the worst bank on the planet), but he was able to work everything out and push the deal through. I couldn't be happier.
