Ty Takamoto is great guy and an excellent realtor. He is skilled at preparing a property for listing while keeping cost down. He knows how to prepare a property to place its “ best foot forward”. He is very resourceful with established relationships with skilled but reasonably priced companies for things like carpentry, plumbing, flooring, cleaning, termite treatment, etc. Ty stayed on top of market trends and comps in the area to make sure that we were priced right and the appraiser had complete information when valuing the house. In addition, Ty is very service oriented and does everything to make the process easy and convenient for his clients. For example, in addition to coordinating repairs and payment to contracted services, he covered yard work and made sure that the plants were watered and the house was secured after each showing. He even picked up the disbursement of seller’s proceeds from escrow and delivered the checks to us. Yes, as I mentioned to Ty, I’ll make sure to recommend him whenever any one mentions buying or selling real estate. He is the best! He is head and shoulders above others that I’ve worked with before.
