Philip’s notes; Several years ago AC’s niece and her husband contacted me from one of the smaller Japanese islands where they were working at an American School. The husband had one afternoon in Huntsville to search for a house to purchase before their move to Huntsville. After viewing dozens of houses we focused on one but were not able to negotiate a favorable price and terms. After the husband returned to Japan we started negotiation on another house. We negotiated the price and terms we wanted and started working, long distance to get to closing.  We arranged and coordinated the home inspections and helped put together the funding for their purchase. The process was unusually difficult because of the time zone and language differences. Much of the buyer’s documentation was in Japanese and they had to travel by ferry and bus a full day to the U.S. Consulate to have documents notarized.

A year after the niece and her husband purchased, AC’s sister contacted us through the niece’s recommendation to help them relocate to Huntsville. When AC decided to join her family here she called us.
