Character Matters: In my opinion, a quality agent starts with a quality individual. Qualities like character, work ethic, and a solid moral compass. Irik demonstrated these qualities from day one. My first impression of Irik came while I was working in my front yard. Irik was walking door-to-door passing out his custom neighborhood newsletters. Without hesitation or introduction he asked if I needed help with my yard work. Who is this guy? My neighbors house had been vacant and neglected for almost two years with the owner three time zones away. This house was vacated with zero planning or preparation, dishes in the sink, food left in the fridge, etc. Irik was hired to sell the home and immediately got to work. I personally watched Irik clean the kitchen, empty the fridge and remove the countless unwanted items left behind of all sizes and shapes. He then began to assess how to best prep the house with emphasis on the bottom line, the best return for work performed. He collected and reviewed bids for landscaping, for pool repair, carpet cleaning and minor repairs. Irik worked closely with the contractors and did much of the work himself. He saved money for the owner at every level, often telling me, “If I can save some money for the owner by doing something myself, I’ll do it.” Very shortly, the home was beautifully staged and ready to present. I was amazed at the transformation. Irik capped it off by hosting an invitation only open house and special get together for neighbors and friends to honor the previous owner, who passed two years ago, with his favorite food and music. We were all amazed at how far the home progressed. I was especially proud because the owner was a good friend of mine. Needless to say, the owner's son was blown away! I know most homes probably will not require this level of transformation or involvement, but I’m confident Irik’s level of care and commitment will excel in any situation.

Irik made the process of selling my family home a breeze. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. His commitment and genuine caring about each house and the people involved make him the best realtor I have ever dealt with.

Irik has been an amazing realtor! He responded immediately every time we reached out to him for help or advice, which we did a number of times throughout the homebuying process. He has been consistently positive and encouraging, while also being realistic about what we could afford (and helping us to be realistic, too!). Not only that, but he made everything as smooth as could be, taking care of many things on his own and keeping us fully informed of everything we needed to know and do. Additionally, Irik is a negotiating wizard! Even though the sellers were initially unwilling to budge on the price, he was able to use information he gathered on his own as leverage, finally getting us into our house for $16k less than the asking price and having to pay a minimum number of fees ourselves. Besides that, the sellers had left swarms of ants throughout the home; when we met up with Irik for the final walk-through, though, he had already taken care of them all and left us a complimentary can of bug spray! To top it all off, he spent basically a whole Saturday helping us move! I could not recommend Irik more highly as a realtor; if I could give him ten stars, I would. He's great at what he does, and he's a great guy.
