Heide was an expat and first-time homebuyer looking for an investment property in which she could eventually live when she returned to the DC area; working with Ethical Homes, she was able to purchase the right home for her from halfway around the world.
The house that Heide picked wasn’t even on the market anymore, as the sellers had decided not to sell it until later in the year; true to our commitment to finding a win-win solution for everyone involved in a sale, though, we were able to show the sellers why it made sense for them to sell to Heide–and negotiated a $10,000 discount for her, to boot.
Heide says:
I had an extremely positive experience working with Sweth Chandramouli and Prudential Carruthers Realtors when purchasing my first home in March 2005. I strongly recommend Sweth to anyone looking for a home in the metropolitan District of Columbia area. My circumstances were complicated by the fact that I was physically located overseas when I initiated and completed this search. Thanks to Sweth’s extensive computer skills and the Prudential Carruthers 24×7 listing service, we were able to conduct much of the preliminary search electronically, narrowing down the options and identifying possible properties. Sweth acted as my eyes and ears, looking at various properties and posting photographs for me online. His candid advice and assessments enabled me to make the best choice from a distance, one that I was very happy with then I finally saw the home for the first time during the home inspection. Given the logistical complications of my search, I cannot imagine it would have been possible without Sweth and his many talents. As a first-time home buyer, I was unfamiliar with many of the procedures, rules, and guidelines for purchasing a home. Sweth explained all elements of the process to me, making sure I was aware of all pertinent details associated with each form and step of the process. He routinely explained the best and worst case scenarios, and warned me what to expect at each step in the process. His advice and counsel made the process much more smooth and far less painful for me. Ultimately, I was able to purchase my home from a distance thanks to Sweth’s dedicated and sincere efforts. I am very pleased with all aspects of my dealings with Sweth and Prudential Carruthers and strongly endorse them and their services.
Update 4/15/08: Heide was so thrilled with her experience with Ethical Homes that when the time came for her to purchase a new property in DC, she again turned to us for help; this time, we helped her get a great mortgage for a purchase.
