Jeff & Grace Safrin - Broker with F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate Trulia Reviews:

Michael Beaver reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 01/11/2015 Helped me buy a home

Jeff and Grace recently helped me purchase my first home. They were able to help me narrow down my search to a specific area, as well as go to bat for me during a difficult closing process. They were truly great advocates for me, the buyer, and never tried to pull the wool over my eyes regarding anything. They were open and honest about what would happen and what was next in the process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home.

nathantwilson reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 12/18/2014 Helped me sell a home

Jeff and Grace recently helped us sell our home in Munster, Indiana. When potential pitfalls arose in the process, Jeff and Grace went above and beyond to ensure that our interests were well protected. They proved their experience by knowing exactly how to best handle what could have been a very tricky situation. Their constant communication and attentiveness to the details of our sale helped ease our stress through the process and we were able to get through to a successful closing! I appreciated their personal attention as well as their professionalism. I would recommend Jeff and Grace to anyone looking to buy or sell in NW Indiana!

Andrew Sheffield reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 11/22/2014 Helped me buy a home

We were nervous heading into the process of buying our first house, especially seeing as we were moving from three hours away. Jeff and Grace made the process easy and painless. We came out very happy with our purchase and made two great new friends!

jackie.shef8 reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 11/22/2014 Helped me buy a home

Jeff and Grace Safrin were so helpful during a huge transition in our lives. We were moving from Wisconsin to Indiana for work and would not have found our home without their expertise and guidance. As first time home buyers- they helped put us at ease; found our home the first day we looked at homes and they helped us move in quickly. I would recommend these two to anyone moving to the area!

lkiptonralan reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 10/15/2014 Helped me sell a home

I was referred to Jeff and Grace by a friend/real estate agent in California to sell my home in Valparaiso. Their knowledge and experience are readily self-evident. I couldn't be happier with their personalized care and attention to the sale of my property. Their marketing skills are stellar. Their advice was top notch. I would recommend them without hesitation or qualification to anyone wishing to sell a home. AND, they are really nice people!

meg.bonta reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 08/01/2014 Helped me buy a home

As first time home-buyers, we were very blessed to have had Jeff & Grace working for us. Found our perfect home the first day we set out looking for it. Thanks to our real estate agents, we were able to purchase and move in as soon as it was possible. They guided us through the process and were available for questions nearly every hour of the day.

Jeff Safrin is a very good agent,with all knowledge and a true business man, get to the point and get thing done for you, we glad had them as our agent.We sold our condo in 10 days which is unbelievable.

reb500 reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 07/23/2014 Helped me sell a home

After losing time and money nearly a year with a different listing agent, what a huge difference Jeff and Grace Safrin made in our investment! Jeff is a doer! He and Grace get things done! After listing our properties with them, the offers came in one after another! Jeff told us what we needed to do to take care of business, and he communicated with us frequently, unlike the other listing agent we had. He's aggressive, energetic, personable, trustworthy and professional! We would definitely recommend Jeff and Grace, "Spouses selling houses!" any day of the week. We had two investments and we live out of state, so we are extremely grateful to this couple for finding buyers and helping us to "get out of Dodge and be able to sleep again at night, instead of having this financial burden over our heads, causing stress and worry.

Kim Rasberry reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 07/16/2014 Helped me sell a home

Jeff & Grace are an amazing team. They sold our old house in a few short months, getting us the deal we needed, then stuck by us through the worst winter in many years to show us houses as they popped up. Their honesty (sometimes wonderfully brutal),and integrity is second to none. They're my kind of people. While I have no plans to ever move again, I would most certainly use Jeff & Grace again & recommend them to anyone planning on buying and / or selling.

mxer078 reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 06/30/2014 Helped me sell a home

They both gave it to you straight!! Any questions were addressed right away no matter what time of the day it was.

Tim Mishler reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 06/28/2014 Helped me sell a home

Warning - Do Not Use Unless You are serious About Buying or Listing, but if you are: The Team of Jeff & Grace will not let you down. Their marketing is top shelf, as is their follow up and follow through. We had many obstacles in our path to close the sale, but with their help we got it done. I am very impatient and only want results. They found ways to do instead of ways not to. Great team to work with.

Dave & C9ibdy reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 06/28/2014 Helped me buy a home

We couldn't have been happier with the service Jeff & Grace gave us. They were highly motivated & sold our home quick. And worked their magic and found us a beautiful home tO purchase. Whenever we had a question they were easy to reach and walked us through everything. Jeff & Grace know their stuff! We wouldn't have worked with any one else!

Jake Raupp reviewed Jeff & Grace Safrin 06/28/2014 Helped me buy a home

Jeff and Grace went above and beyond what we expected of our realtors. As soon as a house came on the market that fit our needs they were calling, emailing, and texting to make us aware and set-up a showing as early as that day. They spent full weekends with us looking at homes. They offered honest, professional opinions and made the process of buying our first home seamless, stress-free, and very enjoyable from beginning to end.
