Blake Mashburn has stood by me during three property transactions in the past two years. These were difficult times for me because I was buying my first house solo, I had just lost my husband and I was selling our home and downsizing to a house half the size; then my mother passed away and as her Trustee, I needed to sell the family home. Two of the transactions were Trust sales, one of which was very challenging! Blake was always there to answer questions and listen as I thought my way through myriad decisions. He is a fine individual whom I trust and consider to be a real friend. I believe Blake is well respected by his colleagues for his knowledge, people skills, and experience. These qualities made my transactions with him very pleasant learning experiences. Blake always kept me informed so I knew what to expect and when as we moved through the process.

Blake knows his stuff. Better call Blake.

Blake Mashburn is my go-to agent ever since I was hooked up with him when selling my first house, and my experience with him on this recent sale has justified my choice once again. His thoughts and judgments lined up very well with my own, and along with his excellent advice, it was clear that he understood my selling position. Blake went above and beyond in effort, as evidenced by the times I would arrive at the house to do something and he was there sweeping the driveway and raking the yard. Blake's "team" (he and Lori Stern) at Century 21 handled many of the small things that I expected to have to do myself, such as arranging inspections and repairs with his small army of outside workers. If anything needed doing, Blake had someone at the ready and arranged the work (but always pending my approval, I was always the "captain" of this ship :) This recent sale required some hard decisions, but Blake's guidance allowed me to "walk away" from offers and negotiations that weren't sufficient, yet still lock in the eventual final deal that I was quite satisfied to have reached. I will always use Blake for any future real estate needs.
