We often discuss the difference in family wealth between homeowner households and renter households. Much of that difference is the result of the equity buildup that homeowners experience over the time that they own their home. In a report recently released by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), they reveal how valuable equity can be in retirement planning.

“Charlie had helped us buy a rental property previously and then helped us sell it later. We appreciated then that he iis honest, fair and works hard to get our properties sold at a fair price! And we continue to appreciate his helpfulness and experienced advice. Our last rental house was more of a challenge to sell because of age and location. In order to sell our rental property on 115 W. Channing, he went the extra mile to help us fulfill the unusual safety and house improvement requirements of the buyers mortgage company. We’ll stick with Charlie!”

“Charlie Brue was listing a property that we saw when driving by. Even though that property was already "gone," Charlie took the time to meet with us, ask what we were looking for, and then set up notification emails so we received properties via email. He was consistently on the lookout for us without being overbearing. Hands down, Charlie is an amazing guy and it showed right from the start. Charlie was so accommodating when we were slowly plodding through the scant listings of springtime. Then when that hot property came up, he was ready to jump on it. He has the patience and perseverance to push through the slow times as well as the agility and savvy to move very, very quickly to help us nab a great home at a time when competition was fierce.”

“We would recommend Charlie Brue to others wanting to sell their property as he does a great job with taking of pictures and an online presence as I think that is how our buyers found our property as they came from a long distance away. He is dedicated to helping the seller both in selling their property and in buying new property as there is a high stress level that some sellers and buyers are experiencing though the process. He was very timely in phone and email contact to keep in touch. If he didn't know the answer to some situations he would find out the answer from others and let us know. We are very pleased that the first looker made an offer, and happy to be able to find a new home quickly with closings on both properties on the same day. He is very open and likable and a people person that helps you feel confident and supported through the process and we are very grateful everything worked out so well so fast.”
