My partner and I worked with Eli to buy our home in together in the midst of a lot of other time consuming life changes. It felt like a risk to take on such a big project when there was so much else going on, and we had some complicating factors to work through with the mortgage and getting insurance coverage. Eli was there for us every step of the way, explaining the context, risks and benefits of different choices we might make, and helping to break down the process into doable steps. This was my first time buying a home, but not my partner's--she had worked with Eli to buy her first home so I knew we could trust him to be transparent and have our best interests in mind. What I didn't realize was how incredibly helpful it would be to have someone in our corner who was so knowledgable, calm, and empathetic. Buying a home can be a confusing and emotional process, and I'm so glad we didn't have to try to figure it all out ourselves. Looking back several months later, I have no regrets and am so happy in our new home. I would absolutely recommend Eli to anyone at any point in the process of buying or considering buying a home, especially if it's your first time.
