Don Morshead, Broker / Reatlor, with RE/MAX Pros

My partner and I had a few scenarios that made 90% of the realtors we talked to glance over us instead of giving us the time of day. Don is the exceptional and rare 10% of realtors that was willing to help us find the home that matched our needs. Tons of real estate agents didn’t want to invest much time in a low-commission account like us. Except Don. He even referred us to a community mortgage lender (RCU) that actually cared about entry-level, first-time homebuyers. Don was even nice enough to coach and educate us in all of the processes involved, which allowed us to bring our “A” game on every house bid we made. Don knows both Counties exceptionally well and can provide great advice on what a neighborhood is like. During the course of our house hunt, we toured approximately fifty homes in San Rafael, Novato, and Petaluma. Our first five bids were “outclassed” by cash buyers and 20%-down bidders. Our sixth and final bid in May 2013 was when we finally had gotten our offer accepted. Without Don’s help and encouraging advice, my partner and I would never have been able to get our current home in Petaluma. Thanks for making our house dream a reality, Don!
