What The Mosleys Needed:

The Mosleys were moving back to the US after being stationed overseas.

"My wife and I are part of a military family stationed overseas in Germany for the past 6 years. When we left the U.S. for our new assignment July 5, 2000 we thought we would be assigned in Germany for only three years so we begin looking at properties in the National Capital Region in September 2001, anticipating returning to the U.S. in July 2003. My wife and I spent countless hours scouring the web and watching housing costs steadily escalate from September 2001 until we finally received word that we would be returning to the U.S. in July 2006. By our estimations the average new construction, four-bedroom single family dwelling increased in value by roughly 73% in just three years!Watching the steady and sharp increase in prices, trying to understand the dynamics of the two sate region we were considering buying in, and the fact that we were 6,000 away underscored our need for a professional, and responsive agent. We first heard about Daniel Odio while visiting relatives in Harrisburg, PA. Daniel was featured on cable real-estate program aired in South Central PA. We did a little more research and found articles about Daniel and similar agents who are changing their practices to reflect the changing times. It is no secret that the 21st century has been labeled the information age by many social scientist. Consumers are savvier than ever and have a wealth of information at their fingertips that didn't exist 10 years ago.Daniel reasons that many clients don't need to be held by the hand to find a property that they want to purchase. What he did offer us was responsive, expert advisement on questions about the market that we had no way of knowing, such as what types of incentives are other neighborhoods offering, how has the resale in the communities we were looking at been over the near term? What do you expect the market to do six months from now? We had our own haunches about the answers to some of these questions, because we weren't first time homebuyers. What Daniel offered us was an honest assessment, sometimes validating our beliefs and other times steering us in the direction we needed to go in. We didn't really need some one to pick us up from the Airport and take us around the city to see different properties. We knew what type of house we wanted and what type of community we wanted to live in. Daniel answered specific questions about neighborhoods that we couldn't answer via web searches and he came with us when we signed our Sales Agreement to ensure we got the best possible deal, literally reviewing each document before we signed it and insisting that the Property Sales Team specify vague terms.

A home is by far the largest purchase we will ever make, and we couldn't afford to make decisions of this magnitude based on haunches and incomplete information. Daniel Odio essentially leveled the playing field in our home buying process.

Perhaps the best part of this arrangement was that because we did a lot of the preparation ourselves, we didn't need to be held by the hand and carted around the city. The way Daniel represents clients is the logical evolution of the real-estate industry and Daniel Odio is pioneering this new method of representing clients. We literally could not have been more pleased with our home buying process. I give Daniel my highest possible recommendation. He has changed the way we buy houses and we will never go back to the old method.

Best regards,
