I connected with Alberto through a Facebook group directed at for sale by owner postings. I was definitely skeptical when Alberto first reached out to me about my For Sale By Owner listing. After speaking with him, I decided to be open as I was only relying on Zillow and desperate realtors who were only interested in listing my home.

Padblock made it easy marketing my home with the MLS to a broader audience, and for a flat fee my home was able to viewed on all real estate platforms. (Realtor.com, Zillow, & the MLS) After a few short weeks, I received an offer over asking and saved about $20,000 in not paying a realtors commission. Everything about the service was professional. I’m happy that I used Padblock!

This is our first time listing our home on Zillow and other similar sites through the team at PadBlock. Working with Albert Marinas has been easy, stress-free and quick with no hidden fees to worry about. We are in the listing phase now and are hoping our house sells quickly. I will update this testimonial after the sale of my home is complete. Mike

I'll admit that I was skeptical when Alberto first reached out to me about my For Sale By Owner Listing, but after having my home on the market for about 2 weeks, I decided to look into what PadBlock really had to offer. The only calls I was getting were from agents, who wanted my listing and private real estate investors who were looking to make monthly payments to me, rather than buying my home outright. Neither of these options were what I was looking for.

After doing some research about PadBlock, I made the decision to proceed with them and they did not disappoint. They delivered on everything they promised and it could not have been easier. For just a flat fee, my listing was posted on the MLS and multiple other listing sites on which I would never have been able to get exposure on my own.

Within one week I received an offer on my home from a qualified buyer and we are under contract, due to close next month. I was able to save money by not having to pay a commission on the sale of my home. I would highly recommend this fantastic service to anyone looking to sell their home without using a real estate agent! Alberto was honest, professional, responsive and all around great to deal with!

I thought I could sell my house on my own. I thought that I could do it without a realtor in the middle. Then I found PadBlock. They gave me the key to saving thousands--- They gave me the satisfaction of pushing back against the monopoly of Realtors and pushing for a realtor-less real estate market. Dan

Keep doing what you are doing. In two years there will be no Realtors as we know them today. Dean.

I bought a house in September. It was about four months since I started shopping for a house. I would say the process took less time than I expected, considering that some of my friends took about six months or more. I used PadBlock to guide me throughout the process. From getting a mortgage, writing a contract, inspecting the house, negotiating the terms, and getting the house appraised. PadBlock helped me step by step towards the very end until I got the keys to my new house. I would say PadBlock is very educational and helpful for me, as a first time home buyer, to fulfill my dream of owning a house.

This September I made my first real estate purchase with my boyfriend; it was for a townhouse in North Jersey. I am not well versed in the real estate business, so I naturally went to my parents for advice on how to go about choosing a realtor, area, etc. We ultimately settled on a family friend as our realtor.

I didn’t really understand the home buying process at the time, and it was only after falling in love with a house that we pursued approval for a mortgage. The entire process after choosing the house we fell in love with was a mess. The mortgage company gave us one in-house representative to speak too as well as two other faceless names that kept up with all of our information. The lawyer that we choose was not well-versed in real estate and did not know that we needed a title company, nor did he even show up for closing. I was receiving up to seven phone calls in a day from people I had never met before claiming to be in charge of another part of our process. It was a mess.

It wasn’t until thoroughly researching Padblock’s platform that I learned what was going on during my home buying process and what should have been done that wasn’t. Padblock completely opened up my eyes and allowed me to connect the dots that led up to our closing.

This platform enables the home buyer to take matters into their own hands. By having a fully vetted list of professionals to work with I would have been able to avoid all of the unknown phone calls and unreliable “experts” that I had entrusted our private information with. When I close on another house in the future, I will have professionals that I am comfortable with and now have my best interests at heart.

Hopefully the next time we close on a house, there will be more than just ourselves and the title agent there to support us.
