There is no denying that being a single woman making a home purchase can be very intimidating. I want to thank you, Vince, for not only making it pleasurable but for doing it enthusiastically! From the moment I made my first phone call to Vince, I felt that he had my best interest at heart. He patiently listened to my laundry list of desires and worked tirelessly to find exactly the home I needed and wanted. Not once did I feel pressured like I had in the past while working with other agents. Despite obstacles that came up and my zillion questions, he always was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the process of buying my home effortlessly and with a great sense of humor. For every question I asked, he not only had an answer but he made sure I understood it. Vince is a genuine, warm, down-to-earth person that I felt most comfortable being around. I was truly impressed with his knowledge and passion for his work! Vince, thank you again for helping my son and I get into our first home. I am forever grateful and I will certainly send my loved ones your way!

Vince found our dream home and sold our former home with a combination of personal qualities and skills rarely found in the same person. Rarely do you find someone is who task-oriented, skilled and efficient, while simultaneously building casual and calm working relationships. On the business of getting tasks done he is very driven; but on the people side, his confident, fun, and easy-going nature relaxes what can often be a stressful period in people's lives. He is generous with his effective and empathetic listening skills and is an artful and fair negotiator. Vince's work is influenced by a set of values in his business and personal life: helping others, justice and trusts that abundance comes from giving. Like many of his former clients, I consider Vince a friend and someone I'll know in this community for years to come. If you don't know Vince and are considering working with him, I trust that you will experience the same positive experience as many others have during the often sensitive process of buying and selling homes.

When you are buying or selling a home it can be a confusing and stressful time to say the least. Holy Moley! Everywhere you look, you see signs for different agencies and within those different agencies you have different agents. The town is littered with them. How do you weed through? Who really knows the area, the business and in the end isn't just out to take advantage of you? The dream is to have someone knowledgeable about the specific area you are selling or buying in, the housing market, as well as the ins and outs of the many different legal hoops you must jump through. Vince is that man. Insert sigh of relief here. He is there for guidance and to hold your hand (metaphorically of course). Not only does Vince know the area but he is immersed in the community. If you are buying or selling a home in the Everett area or ANYWHERE there is NO OTHER agent to go to. One more word, which proved to be EXTREMELY helpful in selling my home, is connections. Not in the Soprano sense of the word, but he knows everybody. You are working with one man but he has a team behind him of wonderful professionals to help you with whatever you need. Knowledge, experience, patience and connections. Ahhh, here I sit in my new house, the kids are at school, my feet are up, I'm drinking a cup of coffee! Thanks Vince.

After 25 plus years of living in New England, where older homes were all different and retained their charm, we had moved to this area. Our house here was nice, but lacked the history and originality of an older home. After passing through Historic North Everett on many occasions, and seeing Vince's name on many of the homes for sale, we started looking just to see. After meeting with Vince, we realized his expertise and understanding was just what we needed to find what we were looking for. He found the perfect home for us, and Vince helped us sell our house in short order! He is direct, professional, thorough, and above all kind and caring. He has made what could have been a very difficult transition a joy. We love our new home, and look foward to many years of enjoyment here....and a bonus!!! Vince is one of our new neighbors!

In the process of finding a real estate agent to help us sell our Historic Everett home before relocating to Hawaii, we had planned to use an agent arranged through our bank which would have resulted in a $1650 cash rebate. We had met the recommended person and were quite satisfied, but felt that we should meet at least another real estate agent for comparison. When we called Vince, we believed that this would simply be a formality given the amount of money from the rebate, but it took only a few moments with Vince to see he was a different breed of agent. Vince Decker possesses a very real and special understanding for the sale and purchase of historic homes in and around Everett. His keen interest is not simply the result of his chosen occupation, but it reflects a true appreciation for the architecture and construction of the homes, as well as for the people interested in those homes. To make a long story short, we opted to forego the cash rebate with the knowledge that Vince's expertise would be far more valuable than the cash incentive. We weren't disappointed - our home sold very quickly for a great price. Vince's pride, professionalism and foresight aside, we now count him among our friends.
