Charles has grown up and lived in the Humboldt area his whole life, and is a very experienced, and knowledgeable agent. He's also a very nice guy and was always happy to take calls or meet with us -- to the point of even helping us with negotiations that dragged into Christmas Eve! He's very patient and thorough in explaining all steps in the process of buying a house -- and provided us with excellent insight and advice on the price of our house. Even though there weren't any recent sales with comparably sized houses on large lots like ours, he was able to do some calculations that put the value at almost EXACTLY what the formal appraisal did. (He's previously taught statistics -- and it shows.) Being such a nice person, Charles isn't a hard-nosed, bulldog of a negotiator, if that's what your after (but such tactics don't always work anyway). I would describe his negotiation style as straightforward, honest and factual. He let the listing agent know that he didn't believe that the house would appraise for what the sellers were demanding (and he was right). In addition to all these benefits, people who work with Charles also have the benefit of his excellent website which has all MLS listings *AND* can be customized to pull up the kind of house you want (based on price, size, lot size, beds/baths, etc).…More Less
