Read what some of our previous clients have to say about their experiences with The Firemen's Group

 Having not sold and bought a house in over twenty years, I was extremely nervous about the journey to which I was about to subject my family.  Andy Bowen explained in great detail how rules and regulations had changed over the years. He carefully and thoroughly assessed my house and suggested how to ready it for marketing.  He discussed how to arrive at a fair and profitable market value for the house. He has a great depth of knowledge of the market. He was available day and night to answer all our questions and to calm overactive nerves. He led us through the process with patience, understanding, and expert knowledge.  His professionalism and patience also extended to all real estate personnel as he handled calmly, expeditiously, and with great diplomacy all unexpected occurrences. His eye for detail is uncanny, his negotiating skills are aggressively expert, and his kindness is an enduring gift.


Andy extended this same care in helping us purchase a new home. He led me step-by-step through the legal process of our journey.  He even extends follow-up services. He was still in contact with us after the house was purchased to ensure that everything was going well and to offer help and important advise. He is a very professional man who cares about his clients and their wants and needs. He endeavors in a very professional manner to make a very arduous undertaking as enjoyable, as stress free, and as fun as possible for all involved.  I highly recommend Andy Bowen to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house.


Karen Hiatt


I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. We looked at many homes and Andy provided us with the information we needed or asked for. As in selling our home once again he gave us so much assistance on what was or will be needed for us to move forward. I would recommend Andy Bowen to anyone I know looking for a realtor.


Al, Sam & Penny Schwartz

Andy sold my family's home and I am grateful for his unwavering support and consistent communication throughout the process. I will not hesitate to call upon Andy for all of my future real estate needs.

Rosalind Jackson

He explained everything, he was there anytime I had a question and made the whole process so easy. He went above and beyond in our situation and I am so happy that I asked him to help! Thank you again!


Lucy Bergling   


"The time had come. We were ready to sell the home I was born and raised in for which I lived the majority of my 60 years. Can you say stressful?!? I made the one call to Andy who met with us, thoroughly explained the selling process to us and quickly set me at ease! There was plenty of work to be done but Andy was with us all along the way. He was always prompt and diligent - available whenever I had a question or concern- very responsive. Andy is extremely knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy and a warm, friendly person to work with! He was up front and impeccably honest. He kept on top of buyer issues that occurred and made sure I was well informed. I couldn’t be more appreciative. If you a looking for a top notch real estate agent, Andy is your guy!"


Bonnie Tester


I met Mr. Any Bowen through a very good friend when I wanted to sell my home. Andy came over and took care of everything. He told me what I needed to do and I did it and my home sold within a matter of weeks. I have recommended Andy to all my friends who wanted to sell their homes. He is very kind, considerate, and reliable. He is a man of his word, and I trust him without a doubt. All I can say is keep him happy because he knows his job and he does it well!!!!


Carol Wimbush


Andy was very up front from the beginning from what to expect and explained every step that we needed to take. Once we received and offer Andy explained everything about the offer and was with us every step from signing the offer to the settlement and with a few questions that came up after settlement. What really made us feel great about working with Andy is he didn't treat us like a client but as a friend. We had many questions along the way and he took time to answer everyone of them, no matter how simple they were, when we called. He never put us off, he always called back within a few hours. Andy will be handling all of my real estate transaction in the future


Jim Puryer


I am happy to recommend Andy Bowen and his real estate team for all of your real estate needs. Andy handled all aspects of the sale of my house with ease and efficiency. His experience with both the real estate industry and people proved invaluable. I respect Andy’s honesty, the pride and integrity he takes in his work, and his true concern for his clients. The sale of my home involved complicated financing and an array of emotions. Andy took command and immediately responded and resolved each of these difficult situations - always keeping me in the loop and updating me along the way. I have and will continue to recommend Andy Bowen for any and all of your real estate needs.


Pamela Casagranda


Andy Bowen walked us through the sale of our home with his superb knowledge and expertise. Our countless calls and emails were promptly answered and we were always comfortable with Andy's recommendations and our ultimate decision(s). Andy's dedication to us was evident from day one. Our entire transaction, start to finish, was smooth. Andy is top notch and we highly recommend him as your next agent, selling or buying. 


Kenny & Pam Reising


It's been almost three months now and we've been busy making our new house into a home. Thanks to Andy and The Firemen's Group, we found something that's just perfect for me and my wife. Andy has not lost the "I'll do all I can and work as hard as I can till you're happy" attitude that defines almost any fireman even after his retirement lol..

It was really awesome working with Andy. He is flexible, hard working, and knowledgeable!! He surrounds himself with likeminded agents and specialist in the home buying process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Andy Bowen to anyone interested in buying a home!!


Joel & Terianna Atagwe


My wife and I were in the market to buy a house. A lot has changed since I purchased my first home 19 years ago. But Andy made the process very easy in many ways. He kept in contact with us throughout the entire process and also answered any questions that we had. Even when it came time to close everything worked out very well. Andy is one I would recommend to anybody who may be intimated with the whole house buying process. When everything is said and done you will be glad you chose Andy and the Fireman's Realty Group for all of your needs.


Mike and Stacey Staley


Just wanted to send a note of thanks to the Firemen's Realty Group for a job well done! They took the time to educate me about the homebuyer process and worked tirelessly to get me in a home. My Realtor, Marvin Robinson, helped ease the transition of moving across country by simplifying the documents and setting up multiple showings before I arrived in town. My company sent me on a 10 day house hunting trip and Marvin found my home on day one! Thank you so much for your dedication to my investment!


J Ross


Marvin was outstanding both when I bought and when I sold, proving to be consistently knowledgeable, dedicated, and personable. He went way beyond the call of duty, even using his firefighter skills to climb under the house -- in an awful crawl space -- to search for and find an identifying number unexpectedly requested by the lender. You couldn't do better than Marvin for capable and committed representation!


Marianne Warner 


This letter of appreciation for Tim Meadowcroft's successful sale of our beach condo at the Four Seasons in Ocean City, Maryland. Tim was instrumental in handling all the details to bring the sale of the condo to a smooth and efficient settlement for Jerry and I. I would recommend him to our friends and family.


Nancy and Jerry King


We have worked with Andy and The Fireman’s Group since we moved to Maryland eight years ago. Not only was Andy able to sell our first house for the full asking price quickly, he also helped us find a great house, completely redone in an ideal neighborhood. Andy and his group did whatever they could to make sure this deal went though. While at closing on our new house, the developer attempted to renegotiate terms at the closing table. Andy stuck up for his clients, and made sure that the developer would stay true to the terms we already negotiated. 


Sean & Nicole Hollywood 



If you want personal attention and someone who listens to what YOU WANT, then Andy Bowen is your realtor. We have had the pleasure of knowing Andy for over 20+ years. Over those years my husband & I have bought/sold 3 homes using his services, as well as just recently helping me sell my late father's home. What we love about Andy is he takes his time with you, listens to your need/wants in buying another home and then gives you reasonable suggestions on how to get the most out of selling your home. He never showed houses out of our price range, just so he could make a bigger commission. Andy is very reliable and always available when you need him.

Michele & Rich Schwarzman



Buying a home, whether for the first time or not, is an exciting yet intimidating process. However, working with Andy made the home-buying process so simple, he truly took the intimidation out of the process for us. We had been looking for just the right house for over a year, and Andy was there to guide us from beginning to end. He tirelessly researched countless homes for us, until we found "the one". Andy was present at the initial showing, the inspection, the final walk through and at closing. His professionalism, friendly personality and genuine concern for people shines through in everything he does. Now that we have moved into our new home, Andy has continued to help us by providing us with contacts for an accountant, financial advisor and home security specialist. He has also helped 8 of our other friends in buying a home, and the fact that he was referred to us by family and close friends speaks volumes to his work ethic. We cannot thank him enough for making our home "dream" come true!


Damon & Irene Stone



Andy,
We want to thank you for all your efforts in selling our house in 2013. We appreciated all of the updates and the comments that helped us find a buyer for home. You were with us every step of the way, and that helped make the process easier for us. Your insight into the details of the whole process took a lot of pressure off of us and we knew we could always come to you with our questions and concerns.
Again, thank you so much.


Bob & Becky Holst


We didn't know a thing about buying a house. But Andy and the Firemen's Realty Group were with us every step of the way. All our questions were answered and all our concerns were addressed with patience, understanding and knowledge. I would use them every time and have recommended their services to family and friends, all with the same excellent results. If you want realtors you can trust, realtors who put your interests first and realtors who put their knowledge to work for you go with Firemen's Realty Group!

 Andy was our first Realtor and he is definitely on our "go to" list for any future home selling or purchasing needs. Not only was he friendly and personable, he came with years of experience in the field. When he would meet us at a home, he would already have an idea if we would like it mainly because he paid attention to our want/need list and listened to us as we went through home after home pin pointing what we did and didn't like. I distinctly recall him going into some home saying "you're not going to like this basement, it's to small" and "this isn't the kitchen for you" as well as "you're going to like the bathroom" and he's always be right on target. He is not shy about pointing out what may be a possible issue all the while not putting pressure on you purchase or walk away. We have recommended him to many of our friends and family and some have purchased homes and we're very happy with his services.

Andy was very attentive to our needs, given a difficult situation with both the buy and sell of homes. On the sell side he made sure that our property was marketed to many different channels and priced correctly, ensuring that many different prosective buyers came through to look at our home. It only took one, and Andy made sure that he negotiated a good deal for us and was in constant contact with the corresponding agent to ensure that the transaction came together as soon as possible, even helping me with a small home repair when he didnt have to. On the buy side we were faced with challenges with communcation with the seller's agent. Andy kept a professional demeanor in dealing with her, ensuring that our rights were protected at all times. He made himself and his team available to show us homes in every situation, and made countless calls on our behalf to ensure that we got the home of our dreams.

Outstanding service, dedication and knowledge. Andy Bowen treated us like family and patiently guided us through the entire home buying process. Everyone we have spoken to who either referred us or were referred by us have similar sentiments. A++ to the Firemen's Realty Group!!!   


Seth & Louise Parks



Tim Medowcroft is a very likeable person. He is very knowledgeable of the Condo market in Ocean City. My wife and I were very comfortable conducting our business w/ Tim during the search and purchase of our Condo. He was not at all a 'pushy' type of real estate agent, yet he was always immediately available to answer our questions, etc. I have referred Tim to friends and family members since our purchase and will continue to do so when it comes to Ocean City and neighboring areas of Delaware.


Kenneth Deibler

 

Andy Bowen is very professional and has years of experience. Selling a home can be very stressful and Andy answered all my questions and was very patient.


Lucy McDonald

 

Andy was a delight to work with. He was very professional and personable. He listened to our needs and often knew, based off all previous conversations and homes we looked at, if we would like a house we told him we wanted to see. Never did he try to discourage us from anything but helped us keep in mind some key factors based off what we said our wish list was. Despite a hiccup we had when put an offer in on a house only to discover it had wet basement issues, we continued with a great working relationship and would recommend him to anybody who is looking for a great agent! Home buying can be a grueling process, however, Andy was always pleasant and helped us with a continuous smile on his face.

John Underwood



Andy helped me buy my first house years ago. It ended up being very easy to rent and bounced back after the housing market crash years ago. He knew the neighborhoods and process like the back of his hand. Happy to have worked with him and would highly recommend him to first time home buyers and seasoned flipper


Aaron Foster
