I have never given an online review for any other person or business before. But Arsalon is an exceptional person, and people need to know that.
If you are looking for the perfect realtor, you have found him. His name is Arsalon Badri. Look no further. Don't bother wasting your time with other realtors. And I really mean that. He is that good. Allow me to explain.
I needed to sell my mom's house and for a good price. I am generally unfamiliar with Sacramento County real estate. I contacted Arsalon and two other separate realtors who all had good online reviews.
I called all three realtors around the same time on the same day. I left voicemails for all three. I also asked all three realtors to look at my mom's house and get back to me. I also proposed a listing price for the house--knowing that the price was pretty high--but I thought why not try it?
Arsalon was the first to call me back. He called me back within a very short period of time. After many hours had passed, one of the other realtors I called, texted me that she had received my voicemail message and that she would get back to me later. The third realtor I called never even called me back.
A few days later after having heard nothing from the realtor that had texted me, I called her: her assistant answered and said that she was going to look at my mom's property the next day and call me back. I never heard from her again.
When we spoke over the phone I immediately liked Arsalon. He was friendly, very polite, positive, upbeat, professional, and very knowledgeable; he answered all of my (numerous) questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. I was impressed; and I am not easily impressed. It became clear to me that Arsalon was a hard worker with a lot of meaningful knowledge and experience in selling Sacramento County homes. It also became clear that Arsalon was going to spend a considerable amount of energy in efforts to sell my mom's house for the highest price possible. That was exactly what I wanted. And that is exactly what I got.
Arsalon quickly viewed my mom's house and made a number of smart suggestions as to how the home could be cleaned up and marketed. I hired Arsalon and we were off and running. Arsalon knew and contacted local professionals needed to clean the home at a reasonable price.
I knew the home needed painting inside and out, and that the front and back yards were a mess. I suggested a credit to the buyer to pay for those needs. The house was then listed for sale; Arsalon held an open house on the property a few days later. Arsalon spoke with a number of prospective buyers at the open house and asked them what they liked and didn't like about the property. He paid attention to them and noted what their concerns were.
Two weeks later Arsalon held a second open house on the property. Not many realtors do that. Again, this produced a number of prospective buyers. Many expressed interest in the property but also voiced concerns. Arsalon kept track of those concerns and discussed them with me.
I examined the house with Arsalon in light of the concerns expressed by potential buyers. I agreed with Arsalon that the problems of the house needed to be corrected. Arsalon then very quickly contacted a contractor he knew who gave me a reasonable quote on the work. I accepted the quote and the contractor began the work.
We took the house off the market to have the work performed. While the contractor was still finishing up the painting of the house, a prospective buyer looked the house over and made a FULL PRICE OFFER to purchase the house.
Arsalon has a quick mind and the ability to rapidly identify, assess and then overcome problems and obstacles. Arsalon stays well-informed and his knowledge of real estate is astonishing. Arsalon's attention to detail is remarkable. We had to deal with a number of issues before escrow closed. Arsalon overcame all the challenges quickly and gracefully. Arsalon shepherded the sale of my mom's house through closing smoothly and without a glitch.
Arsalon's demeanor also bears noting: He is always polite, friendly, modest, upbeat, highly competent, courteous (while courtesy is becoming all too rare these days); Arsalon is truly a pleasure to do business with. So, why would you hire anyone else?
Arsalon is also easy to reach when you need him: he answers his phone and he calls you back promptly when you leave him a message. If you have got a problem, he knows how to solve it, and how to solve it properly and quickly.
Don't just settle for some mediocre realtor who is not really interested in serving your needs, who does little for you and then ultimately disappoints you.
Buying or selling your home is one of the most important decisions that you will make in your life; For such an event you should hire the very best: And the name of the very best is Arsalon Badri.
Put Arsalon on your team, you will be happy you did. -------Jonathan G.
