What Our Clients Say
Unbelievably knowledgeable. Professional, courteous, patient and timely. That was our biggest, most appreciated attribute of Eldon's--his responsiveness and turn-around time was so quick. During an already pretty stressful time, waiting for your agent to return a text or a call, especially when time is of the essence [regarding a showing or a highly sought after home] it's imperative that your agent be available. Eldon was always available and able to answer questions or provide guidance whenever needed. Hopefully we won't be moving again for decades!! But if we do, no question--we're calling Eldon! We'd recommend him to anyone, in a heartbeat!
We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Eldon Palmer on the build of our new home. We were first-time builders with limited knowledge of the building process, Eldon immediately took the stress off my wife and I by creating a buffer between the builder and us. As issues came up during the build, Eldon was quick to solve them by working with us and keeping our best interests in mind. From the beginning of the build process Eldon was instrumental in navigating through the overwhelming decisions needed to build a new home. We felt comfortable with Eldon’s expertise and knowledge of the housing industry to lead us in making more educated decisions on anything from a location to build, down to details like counter top choices. His feedback gave us confidence in selecting a home for our family that we knew moving forward would be easy to market and sell for top dollar when the time comes. Eldon is extremely professional, reliable, personable, detail-oriented, and very easy to work with. His communication is unmatched, which in today’s world seems to be very challenging to receive from a builder. Overall Eldon’s family values and new construction expertise played huge dividends while planning and building our new family home.
Eldon is tireless in his efforts to facilitate your move. He does everything in his power to get you the best sale you can get. Eldon frequently works extremely long hours; there were many times when his emails were stamped around the midnight hour on days we knew full well that he started at our before 8 am. And his responses are very quick. Eldon's knowledge is expansive and he has a plethora of connections to get you answers to all of your questions. For us, he even had a contractor meet us at a house for a second look to give us ideas/answers on what we could do to finish the basement and a general cost for such a project. He knows the laws and what inspections are needed and knows inspectors to complete them. Eldon doesn't stop at the sale either. He came to help me move a rather large, complicated reef aquarium on his own time after both of our closings were done! He is very personable and professional. Having moved four times, Eldon is by far the best realtor we've had and we've made a wonderful new friend in him.
I worked with Eldon last year to sell our family home on behalf of my mom, and buy a new home for her. His communication, knowledge and respect in working with us was amazing. His response time to calls, texts and emails were within 24 hours (usually less), even on weekends. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Eldon!
Eldon was by far the best realator I have ever worked with. He truly cares about what you want and goes the extra mile. He is a great communicator and always answered texts/email. He continued to help us after he got paid and closed. He offered his help in every way possible. You would be crazy to choose anyone else. I only know him through another reference and not just saying these things because I have known him, because I only met him a few months ago.
When we obtained Eldon's services we knew right away we were informed on what was going to happen and what to expect. He was in contact with my wife and I almost everyday with new information on selling our house or buying our next house. He is in my opinion one of the best Realtors I've dealt with. I highly recommend Eldon Palmer as your realtor.
Eldon was always available to answer questions, and, made everything quite clear in response to any questions. If I did not clearly understand something, he would go that extra step to spend time until I did. Definitely appreciated his patience with this novice, and, his guidance throughout the process of selling my home, and, buying another one..........
Eldon is great. He is able to worked around our schedule. He'd often reply to my late/early emails/texts and set up showings with very short turn around (which was important as homes were being sold within 24 hours of listing. I highly recommend Eldon.
I was referred to Eldon after working with another (disodganized) realtor, I am glad that I made the switch! Eldon was very knowledgeable on the area and was able to help me out when I was new to the area. What could go wrong went wrong in my case and Eldon was very accommodating and helpful throughout my first time home buying process. I am very happy in my new home! Thanka again!
Eldon is an excellent agent! he approached us about interest in our home and we chose him to handle the sale of our home and also help us find our next home. We are extremely picky, demanding people and had a strict budget, but also wanted a great home with room for our family and the perfect location. Our list was pretty demanding but Eldon never made us feel pressured or like we were crazy, which is nice because we kind of are a little bit. :) Eldon was able to find us a perfect new house to meet all of our needs in a competitive market where everything was selling super quickly. He is extremely responsive, timely, and an expert in the process: he explained everything so well to us and was very reliable always. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy OR sell in the West MI market!
You won't find a better realtor than Eldon Palmer. He is the most hardworking, trustworthy, nice and professional person you can work with. Eldon has many years of experience which were very helpful to me in his advice of things to consider that I didn't know. His knowledge of property values and his negotiation ability. If it wasn't for Eldon going above and beyond to help me, I don't think I would have been able to get the home that I purchased. He was very committed to helping me find the right home in my price range even though it took a while to find - it is perfect for what I was looking for. I didn't know Eldon prior to the home buying process. He was recommended to me but after working with him, I not only got the perfect house, I also feel like I have a friend for life.
As a first time home buyer I knew nothing about the buying process. I had a million questions Eldon answered all of them in a timely manner. He is a very knowledgeable and helpful agent. The process was very smooth and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling.
Eldon was hardworking, returning calls and emails at all times of the day. He was very professional never pressuring us into a sale but instead, thinking of his customers first. In a high pressure atmosphere, where agents can be overwhelming and focused only on their commissions, it was reassuring to work with an agent who always treated his customers with respect and patience.
Eldon helped my wife and I buy our first house. We are so happy with our new house, and Eldon made the entire experience very smooth. He helped guide us through the entire process, and was always available if we had questions. Upfront, professional and worked with us to understand what we wanted. Thanks again Eldon!
I was interested in a foreclosure property listed on zillow. They suggested contacting an agent that has foreclosure experience. It was at that time I was fortunate to find Eldon Palmer. He returned my e-mail within hours and spent considerable time making sure he had a complete knowledge of what we are looking for in our new home. I receive listings of possible homes regularly through his website. He has a great personality and is very informative about the listing, before and after, a walk-thru. I value Eldon as my agent and look forward to working with him. I know our perfect new home is out there and with Eldon's help, we will find it.
We were looking for houses for my son and his family and we seen a few houses that Eldon had listed! We called him and told him what we were looking for, the areas and the price range! Eldon came up with all kinds of listings for us to check out! He would always return our calls and answered all our questions. He's very patience and always made us feel like we had been friends for along time! After looking at several houses we found the right one! Eldon made purchasing the home a breeze without any stress! He went beyond the call of duty and I would recommend him to anyone!
Eldon did an excellent job of listening to our needs and helping us find a great home. He has wonderful tools that allowed us to take our search at our pace, and was available for us to ask questions any time they came up. His advice throughout our search was invaluable! We can't recommend him highly enough!
Eldon is wonderful and the best real estate agent we have ever work with! We had moved here from out of state, didn't know the area very well, extremely picky when it comes to real estate and had a short time frame to find just the right home for our family. Eldon was very knowledgeable about the market and the area, listened and was extremely patient with us, was always available and willing to go the extra mile. He was dedicated and committed to finding just the right house for us, even if it meant walking every house on the market. Although purchasing a home can be a stressful experience, with Eldon it was fun and we looked forward to working with him each day. We were so happy with Eldon and the service he provided, we immediately recommended him to our niece and nephew, who sold and purchased a house with him. We would highly recommend Eldon to anyone who is in the market to sell or purchase a home! When the time arises for our next real estate transaction, we will be using Eldon.
Eldon was a joy to work with. He took the extra time to contact us with important details about finding a house for me and my family. While he was on vacation with his family, he made himself available 24/7 to help make an offer on a house. He kept us up to date on all details with the seller. I cannot say enough good words about Eldon. He did his best to understand what we were looking for, listened to what we wanted, and found us the perfect house!! We would recommend him to anyone and will use him when we are in need again!! Thanks, Eldon!
"Great” doesn't even begin to describe the experience my husband and I had working with Eldon Palmer. He is knowledgeable, insightful, approachable, dedicated, and patient. Eldon worked alongside us for months as we searched for the perfect house to call our home. He was always available and willing to help. Eldon was so wonderful, that I immediately referred my parents to enlist his services. They have their story to tell, but it also is a happy one.
In early 2013 my wife and I were looking to rent. I met Eldon for coffee and he suggested we look into rates, and a few homes just to see if it made better financial sense to buy. 4 weeks later we closed on our first home. It wouldn't have been possible without Eldon. Through the entire process we constantly felt connected to Eldon. His communication was EXCELLENT. From day one, we knew he was on OUR team and committed to putting us first. From the late night e-mails to his patience and education for a couple of rookies, Eldon proved to be not only a top notch realtor but a lifetime friend.
