Coral Gundlach Reviews

My fiance' and I would have no problem publicly thanking Coral for her services in our recent mortgage transaction (April 25, 2013). Beginning at our initial meeting, and continuing through closing, Coral was upfront, realistic and energetic when it came to meeting our needs and guiding first-time home buyers, and the both of us really respected that.

From the get-go, at the initial meeting, our first impressions were that Coral was a down-to-Earth and warm person who was very knowledgeable about the current marketplace in Northern VA and the surrounding areas (our search radius). She was able to inform us on current inventory and trends. As new home buyers she was also able to provide us with a high-level overview of the process and what we were to expect. She provided us with some recommendations on lenders and gave us their general schedules. After researching, we decided to go with one of her suggestions and could not have been happier. We both felt lucky that we found the lender we had. Since this is not a review of that service, I will not provide any further details, however, this is a theme that I would like to continue; Coral has a knack for providing high quality suggestions. She closed the initial meeting by providing us a snapshot listing of what was available in our range of needs. She had indicated that the snapshot was a brief review of what would be available to us after pre-approval, and that once pre-approved, she would work with us to tailor automatic listing updates that would reflect our needs.

After the initial meeting, it was on us to contact the lender and get pre-approval for our home loan. We had the ability to ask Coral questions on the matter, and we certainly did. Her responses were always very helpful. Once this was completed, we took advantage of her listing service, and we could not have been more pleased. She took the time to explain how it would work and it made the process of whittling down selections convenient and easy. Once we had decided on some of our favorites, we scheduled time with Coral to go out and look at the properties we had decided on.

Admittedly, the selection process for us was short lived. We were lucky enough to view an open-house one the first day of the search that would eventually be our home. However, it was the last property we viewed, so I can review Corals expertise in the search, however limited. We began by grouping properties in like-areas and then implemented a plan of attack. Coral knew what to look for, and always had the right questions to ask us to gauge our interest in the property. She was never pushy about any property we did view, and was just a very pleasant person to view properties with. She was also able to answer any of the questions we had, on the spot. I could not have been happier about this point in the process. She was just a wealth of information.

Our final viewing of the day is where the period of negotiation began. The unit was a sell-by-owner and Coral was to deal with the owner of the property on our behalf. Coral was very helpful when it came to overviews of the process and comparable values in the area. She was very on-point and timely when it came to making the offer and filing the paperwork. She used DocuSign, and we both thought that was very convenient. She also had our lender provide us mortgage estimates based on our offer so that we had an idea of our monthly budget. The property owner had been a little slow in responses to our offer and Coral was able to elicit a more timely response from them. The process lasted about a week because we had to update our offer after the home inspection. We were also very pleased with the home inspector that was suggested by Coral. We will be using his help and information for future home projects, on top of being a very information and resourceful inspector. Throughout this process Coral was always in contact with us, the lender, and the owners and we felt that we could have gotten ahold of her at any point. She was always very timely in response to our texts and e-mails. Once the final offer was accepted, and the documents signed, the loan went into underwriting.

The finalization of this process occurred after the loan was accepted by the lender. Coral had stayed in contact throughout that process and had provided us a very helpful timeline of events, and what to have prepared/activated/installed by the end of closing. I cannot reiterate enough how helpful she was throughout the entire process. Again, she had to step in when the HOA papers were not sent in a timely fashion for closing, and we certainly appreciated that. We took our final walk through and she was there at closing to help us with anything else that we had needed.

In closing, I would recommend Coral ten times over. A great person, and an adept and knowledgeable agent. A+++

Coral was the agent assigned to us for a Corp. relocation move West to East coast and although we'd lived in NYC and Boston , NoVA was new territory. She helped us with a house purchase in Ashburn VA and when we decided to move back to the West Coast after less than a year we called Coral again because we knew with it would be a straight forward and easy process. Both transactions were seemless because when you work with Coral she is professional and knows her housing markets and areas very well! She has a great positive personality and very easy to work with, has great attention to detail. We always felt like we were her only clients which of course was not the case but she was always available and easy to reach! We highly recommend Coral Gundlach!

Coral, was professional, focused and organized selling our house in a timely manner. Was important to have an agent we could trust.

As a busy executive being relocated by my company, I needed an agent who would manage the sale of my home while I stayed focused on the pressing needs of a new work assignment in another state. Selecting Coral as my agent was one of the best decision I made - for me and for my company. In just over 30 days, I went from meeting Coral for the first time ... to closing at my full asking price. During those 30 days, Coral was at my home more than I was! Why choose Coral? First, and foremost, she takes responsibility for the job of selling a home. Second, she knows her profession. Her market assessment was extremely professional and right on the money. When it came to the complexities of dealing with a corporate move, HOA and buyer's agent - Coral's knowledge and experience brought us to a quick close. Third, Coral understands that marketing is more than just an Internet listing and luck. Her eye for staging a property - combined with her photography skills, an exceptional brochure, and kicking the listing off with an agent's open house - made my home stand out in this highly-competitive market and was key to presenting the home as well-worth its asking price. Fourth, Coral understands and leverages technology - which enabled me to stay connected to the process while on the run and with very minimal effort on my part. Finally, Coral demonstrated a real talent for grasping a seller's needs and personal style at the outset - and then adapting to be what that seller would later describe as "The Perfect Agent". If you are looking for the perfect agent ... Coral Gundlach is it.
