After looking at numerous homes, Bob helped us find a beautiful house for only $130,800 that was listed for $146,900. After failing to get approval on a VA loan, Bob found a local bank to get us approved and closed. ~ Dominick Mandoza

My name is Lori Hull. I am a first time homebuyer in Holland, Michigan. I would like to share my home buying experience with you. My realtor is Robert Buist with Carini & Associates. From the very beginning, Bob proved to be knowledgeable, conscientious and trustworthy about the housing market and how the home buying process works. I was first approved thru Fifth Third Bank, and ran into some issues trying to get the condo approved. Bob stepped in and found another lender for me….First Place Bank located right here in Holland. Bob did a lot of work for me, “behind the scenes” to get me approved, the condo approved, and to make this deal happen because he knew how important it was to me. Also, Bob has a lot of patience and I’ve found that you will need plenty of that when you are purchasing property. Bob was instrumental in keeping me “grounded” thru the process and provided invaluable guidance to me throughout. I would highly recommend Bob Buist because of his honesty, knowledge, and hard work. His integrity goes above and beyond to ensure the deal not only closes, but closes correctly for all involved. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions. ~ Lori Hull

Great job! And excellent service through the months! Your efforts are what stand you apart in the industry. It sure was a tough road, but I knew eventually we’d sell it eventually. Perhaps our paths will cross again down road. Until then… Take care, Steve and Marlena Hart
