About Ross Kotkin

Working with Ross was easy- something I never thought I would say about the process of both buying and selling a home. Ross was meticulous in the process of listing our home for sale. From understanding our time frame and financial needs, providing staging advice, and even offering help to move furniture, Ross was there. Not only was he there but he was available, attentive, and enthusiastic throughout the process. Our buyer came directly from Ross’ client base and we were under contract in 8 days. For context, two other homes on our block have been on the market for 4+ months. The contract period was not without hiccups and despite all issues that arose (the least of which was not multiple requests from the buyer that Ross brought to the transaction), Ross remained true to us as his clients in all advice. When we thought the contract may fall through, Ross worked to have a backup contract and we got one in 48 hours. The closing went smoothly and we were very happy to have the house sold. Ross also represented us in buying our new home. From helping to evaluate the price, to bringing in contractors to give us bids on changes we wanted to make, Ross always made it happen. He worked with the selling agent to get us access to the home on multiple occasions and even to move our close date from Jan 2nd to just two days before Christmas. We trust Ross’ opinion of the market and in general. He is an outstanding professional who is thoughtful, kind, and generous with his time. We would recommend Ross to anyone looking for an agent they can respect and trust and we will be looking to him for guidance and representation with any real estate investments we make in the future.

My husband and I recently relocated to Atlanta last month. We were first-time home buyers and had no experience working with an agent, so we decided to get a few recommendations from close friends and family. We met several agents and chose Ross based on what qualities we thought a great realtor should possess. I listed our expectations below along with examples of how Ross exceeded those expectations. -Ability to tailor style and communication to first-time buyers. Ross helped explain the process in simple terms and basically held our hand throughout the whole process to ensure we were comfortable with everything and had a stress-free experience. He was upfront about the process from the very beginning, so there were no surprises or issues. 24/7 availability and personal attention. We were working 60-hour weeks and living in another state, so the only time we could contact Ross was during off-hours. Ross was always happy to help no matter what time we had to call or email him. Since we were traveling in from another state to look for houses, we were only here during holidays and weekends to look for houses. Ross was able to accommodate us last minute, schedule showings, and work with us anytime we needed. -Prompt follow up. Throughout the process, he had an amazing follow-up. He always responded the same day to phone calls and emails. -Ability to ask the right questions to find ideal areas and houses that we liked. We were new to the area, so we were relying on Ross to guide us to neighborhoods we would like based on our commute preferences, budget, and style of the community we wanted. He was able to give us multiple options and show us areas we loved. The first house he picked out for us was the house we ended up buying. He clearly understood what we were looking for and made it happen. -Stay within our budget. We were nervous about going over our budget, so we gave him an exact amount of mortgage we would be willing to pay and he was able to make it happen. I was very appreciative that didn’t take us to places we couldn’t afford. -Genuine interest in helping us find the perfect house. It was obvious from the beginning that Ross genuinely cared about helping us get the house we wanted. I hope these examples will give you the comfort you need to give Ross an opportunity to help you find your perfect house. We had an amazing experience and we have Ross to thank for that. I would highly recommend him for your future home buying needs.

Ross provided invaluable assistance with the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home. On the front end, Ross provided great advice on pricing our home, and we were delighted to go under contract in ten days at a purchase price that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process, he connected us with other service providers to keep things moving forward in a cohesive way. He is a true professional, highly responsive, and skilled in marketing. The experience could not have gone more smoothly, and we highly recommend his services.

If you are looking to buy or sell a home you will not find a better agent than Ross. My wife and I were extremely impressed with Ross from our first meeting. He was well prepared and demonstrated a deep understanding of the market in our area. He provided great guidance on the listing price, preparing our home to show and our house was under contract in just a few days. He was present for every showing and didn’t use a lockbox. Ross made himself available around the clock and always returned our calls promptly. Ross was also present for the inspection, appraisal, and closing. His personal involvement in each step of the process enabled us to secure a great price and ensured any questions or issues were resolved quickly with minimal effort from us. Thank you Ross for a great selling experience!

Ross was able to help us find the perfect house for our family which wasn’t easy. We had a long list of requirements including good schools, a child-friendly neighborhood with a pool, enough space for us, and the most difficult, space for an in-law suite. Given the long list of must-haves, we had to search in multiple areas. Ross not only helped us narrow down our search to the best parts of town for us but also the right neighborhood and house. His expert knowledge of the areas and patience in helping us define our must-have list have led us to a house we hope to call home for many years. Ross was referred to us by a friend and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him myself.
