My wife and I have recently purchased a house from Morris Realty, and we could not be happier with their service. Randy Morris was our Realtor, and he was spectacular. Randy worked with our budget and listened to all of our desires and needs. He was patient, calm, and very knowledgeable about home buying. He drove us around to look at over 10 homes and was extremely patient with our very specific wish list.
He found us a home that was under budget, in a wonderful neighborhood, and had everything that we desired. His online search system helped us narrow down exactly what we wanted over two months, and when it came time to buy, Randy always made time to meet with us when it was convenient for us. My wife and I are both teachers with very difficult schedules. Randy would make time on holidays and weekends to drive us around for hours, and he always would reply with an email, text, or phone call if we had a question that very day, usually within minutes.
I haven’t been in contact with too many Realtors in my life, but I highly doubt they are as professional, understanding, and effective as Randy. One of the sprinkler heads weren’t working on our property during our option, so Randy went to Lowes and purchased a new sprinkler head with his own money. He and his son changed it out so that the grass could get watered on the scheduled day of the week so my wife and I could see the lawn before and after it was watered. He also changed the air filters of the home and lent us his painting supplies after the house closed and was funded.
I cannot say enough great things about our experience. My wife and I fell in love with the house immediately so we wanted to give it our best offer. Randy calmly advised us to test the waters first. He was able to negotiate the seller so that paid all of the closing costs ($6,400), paid for simple repairs around the house ($2,000), and agree to sell the house after they had dropped the original asking price ($21,000!) because it used to be a rental property and the sellers had moved to Hawaii and just wanted to get rid of it. Randy saved us so much money on the house of our dreams simply on his gut feeling and past experiences. He has been doing this for over 30 years, and has been very very successful.
The other amazing thing about Morris Realty is their local connection and references with some of the best people and technicians in the area. We used the $2,000 allowance to have a repair party which means that a couple of days after a closing, Randy arranged to have all the technicians come at once to fix all that needed to get fixed. Randy called his plumber, electrician, ac man, alarm system rep and carpenter to come and give us the most competitive prices. That has allowed us to customize our home before we even move in. All the workers were extremely courteous, knowledgeable, and fair with their prices. The awesome plumber, Merle, added extra services that he didn’t charge for as a “house warming” present.
We don’t get any compensation at all for writing this review other than the satisfaction that others are able to benefit from this amazing man and company. My favorite Randy quote is “I want to offer a service to people where I know I can sleep at night. Some companies take advantage of their customers. I want to know that I am truly helping them.” Trust us. If you are looking to buy, sell, or rent a property in San Antonio, you’ve got to use Randy Morris Realty.
