"I was extremely satisfied and happy with the entire process of purchasing my first home. Buying a condo was made easy and super personal because Evan was there to support me every step of the way with help from his amazing team. He made the entire experience exciting and even though I had a short time frame and many limitations that didn’t stop him from working hard to find the best fit for me! I’m so grateful to Evan with his positivity and perseverance because without it I wouldn’t be happy in my new home!"

"I would like to thank Evan Duffin-Barnes for his excellent work as our real estate agent. We sought Evan out after learning about the great job he did for our downstairs neighbor. We needed to sell our place quickly, as my wife and I were expecting a baby in less than a month and suddenly realized there was no way we could make things work in a 1BR. At our request, Evan stopped by for a consultation. Before we knew it, he had recommended some quick repairs and had a photographer take some beautifully staged photos of the place. He suggested a listing price that I thought much higher than the market would bear, but he said he had done the research and that it was a competitive price. Even before the MLS went active, Evan was feeling out potential investment buyers, so we already had some interest prior to the listing. If I remember correctly, my wife went into labor two days after the condo was listed and Evan held the first and only open house on Superbowl Sunday while we were still in the hospital. He held another private showing the next day, but it wasn't really necessary. Owing to Evan's excellent "advance" work, he already had a cash buyer lined up within 4-5 days of the listing. Not only that, since the buyer was an investor, there was very little haggling about price and we were able to get 25K$ more than we would have gotten otherwise- all because of Evan's diligent research and connections! When it came time to purchase our new home, Evan was just as good. He hired a great home inspector, who provided a comprehensive report on the status of our unit. Evan worked closely with the Seller’s agent to ensure that all maintenance and repair issues were taken care of promptly and to our satisfaction. He also called regularly to give updates and explain the plethora of documents involved in buying a condo. The whole experience has been fast and great! I can't say more good things about Evan Duffin-Barnes or Locations."
