    "I would highly recommend him to everyone!"
    First off I just want to say that working with Ian was really a great experience! He really goes above and beyond the call of duty, he even showed me some houses while he was vacationing with his family. He also felt more like a friend than a realtor and it gave me that level of trust to keep working with him.I closed on my first home about a month ago and I'm loving every bit of it. I appreciate everything he has done for me and I would highly recommend him to everyone!

    "We love our first home have already recommended Ian to friends and family."
    It was a pleasure to work with Ian. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and a lot of fears. He was patient with us and answered all our questions. He was generous with his time and easygoing. He worked really hard for us and helped us stay within our budget.We visited Wilmington twice a year for about 2.5 years and looked at a lot of properties. He helped us buy our first home from out of state. He walked us through the process step by step and made it easy for us. We love our first home have already recommended Ian to friends and family.

    "we highly recommend Ian Rosenbaum!"
    From our first meeting, we were very comfortable with and trusting of Ian...he is very personable and easy going. That is not to say he doesn't take his job seriously...he is very professional as well as knowledgeable and does everything in his power to help you find or buy what you want. We came downfrom NY and Ian spent a lot of time with us...not only showing us houses but adding a little 'tourguide' action as well so we had a good feel for the area. Once back in NY, he called or e-mailed on a regular basis to let us know what was going on or what we needed to do. Even when our first try at getting financed fell through and we had thought it wasn't going to happen, Ian found another mortgage broker for us and we ended up purchasing our first home...what a wonderful feeling when he handed us that key! All in all, We can't say enough good things. Great realtor, great guy...we highly recommend Ian Rosenbaum!

    "We are very grateful for Ian and his knowledge on the process."
    Ian was extrememly helpful and patient with us on buying a short sale. It was a long, drawn out process, but Ian made it happen and we are very happy with our purchase. When we were looking at other properties, he also had gotten a good feel for what we were looking for and found us some homes that we hadn't considered.We are very grateful for Ian and his knowledge on the process.

    "I would definitely recommend him to others."
    Ian was recommended by my friends neighbor. I met him, told him what i wanted for a home/condo. While in Wilmington last June we looked at a lot of houses. He set up a portal so that i could continue to look at homes when i returned to Massachusetts. And quickly understood what i wanted Returned in February.We looked at 13 homes; 90 percent were definitely something that i would want to live in I settled on two. the next day i revisited both places, decided on sugar pine drive, told him what i would pay for it. Given that i was out of state, the paperwork and everything went smoother than silk and that is saying something given it didn't go that smoothly when i sold my home in Boston. Additionally he has helped me find people that could fix the air conditioning and other things.. He knows his job and his clients. I would definitely recommend him to others.

    "I would not want anyone other than him to be our agent."
    When my wife and I became interested in buying a small condo on Wrightsville Beach, we needed to find a local real estate agent. I looked for a realtor on the internet, and based on reviews by previous clients I contacted Ian. He replied immediately, and after talking to him on the phone,I felt he would be a good choice. I couldn’t have chosen a more effective realtor. Throughout the negotiation process he was great. There were many issues involved in the financing and how we could make an offer that the seller would accept. This process was lengthy and there were many ups and downs. At times, both we and the seller believed that this deal would never happen, but Ian persisted. He was incredibly effective in reaching a position that was acceptable to everyone. Because of Ian’s dogged efforts, we were able to buy this property. We are very happy with our purchase. I cannot stress how important Ian’s advice and his persistence were in making this happen. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, and incredibly personable. In short, Ian was the key player in this deal; he is everything you could want in a realtor. We hope to move to the Wilmington area in a few years and I would not want anyone other than him to be our agent.

    Bought a home in 2011.
    "I will definitely be back in touch with Ian."
    We were hoping to buy a bed & breakfast in Wilmington, NC. Ian recommended perhaps an investment property as an alternative. We have decided to put our search on hold for the moment due some family issues. We really enjoyed working with Ian and appreciated his knowledge of the Wilmington real estate market.Should our situation change I will definitely be back in touch with Ian.

    "I would recommend him to EVERYONE!!"
    My husband and I could not have been more satisfied with a real estate agent than Ian Rosenbaum. He made the whole process of looking, negotiating and buying our new home a wonderful experience. We had worked with other agents before and none compare to Ian. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.He walked us through the total process of mortgage loans, insurance requirements and necessary inspections. Ian assisted us in the walk throughs of each home we looked at to make sure that we were aware of any present problems. He crawled under a house for me when my husband was not available in his work clothes after it rained to check for any leaking. I am so grateful and thankful for Ian. I would recommend him to EVERYONE!! The experience of home buying was made wonderful with Ians' assistance.

    "I will call him when I am ready to sell and would HIGHLY recommend him."
    I found Ian by chance on Zillow, emailed him and he responded very quickly. I have bought and sold several properties over the years and have used several different realtors. Ian was awesome to work with and treated me as though I was buying a million dollar mansion instead of the inexpensive fixer upper I just bought!He knew I wasn't "local" and he even emailed me all the utility company info. after I closed. I will call him when I am ready to sell and would HIGHLY recommend him.

    "I would highly recommend Ian Rosenbaum to anyone!"
    We accidentally contacted Ian while attempting to schedule a showing with what we thought was the listing agent. Boy, was that a fortunate error! We immediately clicked with Ian's style and professionalism. He guided us through the process masterfully and with particularly close attention to whatwe were looking for. Ian took the time to craft a counteroffer that got us the great deal that we were looking for. We would not have been near as persuasive on our own and probably would have not come to terms. I would highly recommend Ian Rosenbaum to anyone looking to purchase real estate in New Hanover county.

    "He was extremely helpful and intuitive!"
    We would like to share our great experience with Realtor Ian Rosenbaum, we live in Los Angeles and were looking to purchase a home in Wilmington NC. We lived in the Triangle area for many years and were familiar with Wilmington although had not been there in > 3 years.We saw Ian's name and picture come up when we we looking for properties in the area and decided to give him a call even though it was New Years Eve! Ian turned out to be in Puerto Rico at the time but still returned our call and promised to get back in touch with us as soon as he was back in NC. He contacted us just as he said he would then, and every single time afterward! He was extremely helpful and intuitive when it came to helping us decide just what we were looking for. He was always courteous, understanding and handled our affairs as if they were his own. I believe we stretched Ian a bit when we told him we wanted to make an offer on a property that we hadn't seen! He went to the property and took many pictures, not just of the good things but also of the not so good things as well. This allowed us to make a realistic decision. We trusted him completely. He is very trust worthy. We came to NC during our due diligence period and Ian was available to us with our tight schedules and truly wanted us to find the right property. All the transactions through closing and beyond were seamless, and professional. Great pick.

    "Ian is a professional, and it shows in every way"
    My husband and I went to Wilmington, NC to search for a house. We could only stay for a week because we needed to return home to Pa. I contacted Ian before our trip to wilmington, told him what we were interested in and the area we would like to see houses.Ian had a complete list of homes and spent the entire day with us showing homes in one area, then repeating the the same southern hospitality on another day. We are delighted with the home we found. We went back to Pa. and Ian handled all of the paperwork for us. We communicated via email, phone, and fax and didn't even have to go to Wilmington for the closing. The following weekend we moved to Wilmington, and quite happy to be here. Ian is a professional, and it shows in every way. Thanks Ian for making our move a pleasant experiance.

    " happily recommend Ian to anyone looking to buy a home!"
    Ian Rosenbam represented me as my buyer's agent in summer 2010. I was a first-time homebuyer, early/mid 20s, and he guided me through the process with the knowledge and experience that I needed but lacked. He fought hard for me every step of the way. He helped me find a house that met my preferences,in my price range, and in an ideal location. He gave me his advice as I needed it (which was often) but was willing to work with whatever decision I made. One of the most helpful things throughout the entire searching process was a customized "Client Portal" he set up just for me: like Zillow and a handful of other home-searching sites, it was a site with the local listings that fit my requirements. However, it updated automatically, had options like "save" and "reject," and best of all, it was strictly between me and Ian, so we could leave comments and thoughts on each property for each other. With each property we visited, he was remarkably thorough in making sure that I wasn't considering a "lemon." He often got down on his own hands and knees to examine things like carpet, flooring, pipes, etc. All of the people he recommended were highly competent, except the mortgage company he recommended. They were awful and messed up - literally - everything. In all fairness, though, he told me up front that he'd never worked with that company before, but they seemed fine and promised me a good rate. And after it quickly became apparent that the person representing the company was inept (but it was too late to go with a different company due to a timeframe outside of our control), he took responsibility for that recommendation and did everything in his power to make it right. That recommendation is the only reason I gave him 4 stars instead of 5. The inspector, termite guy, closing attorney, and plumber were all great. He also provided me with the contact information for the water provider (I live outside the city) and several options for local trash pickup. In all honesty, buying my first home was a long, grueling experience. It was no fun at all. But in hindsight, sitting here in the office of my first home typing this, it was totally worth it. And I can't imagine having gone through the process without Ian to deal with most of the stress on my behalf. I happily recommend Ian to anyone looking to buy a home. I can't speak for him as a seller's agent, or as a dual agent, but I don't think I could have found a better buyer's agent. In fact, I talked with ten or so more agents and companies, and Ian stood out from the very first phone call. Whereas the others lazily said to check out their web site, they'd get back to me, or call them back after I'd done XYZ, Ian instantly went to work for me, before he was even officially my agent. I'm glad that I chose him to represent me. I'd be happy to have him represent me again if I buy another home here; what more needs to be said?

    Over the last four years we have purchased 3 properties through Ian. One property was a personal residence and the other two were 1031 exchange rental properties. Ian was the consummate real estate agent. He listened to our desires and was able to do excellent research and find us the perfect properties.With Ian's assistance these were the easiest real estate transactions I have ever experienced. My wife and I highly recommend Ian as the only real estate agent to have in the greater Wilmington, NC area.

    "I recommend him to any buyer or seller."
    Ian is a highly effective real estate professional: honest, patient, and persistent. He showed my town home frequently and consistently, and then sold it despite several obstacles (including a slow market and a neighborhood-wide protest). Ian was a pleasure to work with and I recommend him toany buyer or seller.

    "My girlfriend and I strongly recommend Ian Rosenbaum and WIT Realty!"
    My girlfriend and I strongly recommend Ian Rosenbaum and WIT Realty as a perfect choice for finding your dream home. We just closed on our beach home in Pender County - Surf City, NC last week, thanks to Ian! We were looking for something VERY specific. Our needs were so definitive that it seemed impossible for all the boxes to be checked,yet like a master magician Ian made it a reality. His patience with us was unbelievable. He taught us so much in the process of home buying. This was our first home buying experience and we were so fortunate to be Ian's seasoned hands. Ian's process includes a personalized shopping web portal where we could communicate with him and look at personalized home choices. Often working with Zillow together. He was immediately available whenever needed. When we visited a home, Ian was thorough during the walk-thru, pointing out things a home inspector might find, and even went as far as investigating crawl spaces for potential issues. He was objective, showing both the pros...AND cons of the home. He was consistently looking up important detailed facts about the home, like the taxes, the insurance, flood zone issues, and HOA. He provided the answer to our many questions. His knowledge of our search areas was encyclopedic and his negotiating skills were exceptional! Throughout our evolving home search Ian assured us our wish list home was out there and we thank Ian for bringing us home to the American Dream.

    Doing business with Ian was a great experience. He was patient and knowledgeable, looking for hidden surprises and giving honest opinions during our search. He understood what we were looking for, and had a good sense of humor, as well. Once we found a home he crawled under it, searched through the attic,into the outlets and breaker boxes...he checked and double checked everything! We would highly recommend him to anyone!

    If you are searching and moving from out of town, Ian and his network of professionals will make the process flawless. We recently purchased in Wilmington... we saw the house first on another listing site, found Ian through Zillow, contacted him and following his advice, and using people he has experience with,the mortgage, insurance, attorney closing and possession went off like clockwork. I fully recommend Ian as a buyer's agent, Dianna Johns of Movement Mortgage, Anna Brothers of NC Farm Bureau and closing attorney Aaron Anderson.
