Howard Hanna Brighton

Jul 9th, 2021

Christopher Schwer from the Brighton office of Howard Hanna is the best! He has been our realtor for the purchase of 2 homes and the sale of 1, which he sold in 3 days for full ask despite fierce competition from more than 10 comparable listings at that time. The thing that makes Chris so special is that he truly puts his client's interests first, not his own. He is experienced, honest and knowledgable. When we were looking for a new home, oftentimes the listing agent was not present at the showing. Not Chris, though. He makes it a point to always be at the showings when listing a home for sale. Thanks again Chris!

Howard Hanna was the sellers agent. A close family member was working with another agent to represent them buying a home. Their offer was ACCEPTED, a close date was set, and the inspection had taken place as this was the process laid out by both realtors. The buying agent representing my family requested a 2 day, or even would settle for a 1 day, extension. Without any response from the selling agent and AFTER we paid the almost $600 inspection fee, they came back and retracted their acceptance and said theyve entertained another offer from another buyer. Completely unprofessional! Every cent counts when looking for your new home, dont waste your time with this agency office because they have no regard to your out of pocket costs.

Buyer Beware. My offer was recently accepted on a home listed by a Howard Hanna of Brighton agent. Prior to a showing we were notified that an offer had already been accepted and we needed to expedite any potential offer on the property. Our offer was written and accepted that evening. The following day the selling agent taunted us with a third "competing offer", urging us to raise our offer price or lose the home. The selling agent was unable to produce any information regarding this mysterious "offer" that materialized at 8am the following day, aside from asking for a higher offer price. The offer was not changed. The selling agent was unable to produce anything and played the entire afternoon (5 hours) of back and forth off as "this type of thing happens all the time". After home shopping for over a year and writing 13 house offers I can tell you it does not happen all the time. The entire interaction with the selling agent will not be forgotten. I have warned everyone to stay away from this agent. Homebuyers should never be "worked" by a slippery agent. The used car lot is down the road.
