It's my pleasure to share my recent experience with Robert Sivek. In 2019, Robert served as my agent in selling a Whitewater Lake area property swiftly and without a hitch. Robert went the extra mile to help me since I was at our home in Door County for most of the sale process. On January 10, 2021, I suddenly hatched a plan to own another home in the Whitewater Lake area, though we still live in Door County. Old habits die hard, and Whitewater and Richmond lured me in. As we are all aware, this is most definitely not a buyer's market, but I spotted a Richmond house that called to me. Robert was the only agent I considered contacting, since after my first sale, I consider Robert to be more friend than agent. Because of COVID concerns, I was not able to come to view the house, but Robert toured it the very next day and sent me many photos, some depicting the positive features, but more importantly, photos of things that might need attention or give me pause. I relied on Robert to be my eyes and ears on the ground, so to speak, and felt like I got a balanced view of the home to go with an inspection report Robert procured for me from the buyers. The house had a primary offer, but Robert guided me through the process of making a secondary offer that would make sense to the sellers. As it turned out, everything fell into place nicely. On February 1, a mere 3 weeks from my first call to Robert, I was sitting at a closing on a beautiful home, promising the sellers that I would keep their family history and love of the property alive and well. My view from the start was that, if this hasty plan came to fruit, it was meant to be. However, I am very much aware, I would not own the home now if left to my own devices 225 miles away. It's a fine thing to have an agent you can trust when you are standing face to face, looking one another in the eye. It's an even better thing to know an agent like Robert, with a sense of integrity that infuses everything he does, even from a distance. Robert's joy in putting together a deal that is fair to both buyer and seller, and I've been both in his world, is just the icing on the cake. As I sit in frigid Door County, it warms my heart to know I also have a piece of home sweet home “down south,” thanks to you, Robert! Five star service all the way.
