Home buyer in Spring, TX
Closed Oct 2025
When it comes to buying a home, they say it’s one of the most stressful life events. Not to mention, when buying a home from across the country, in a brand new city, while expecting, and on a time crunch before our current lease is up, that is even more chaotic, distressing and exhausting!!! However, when we worked Ebony Onyemu, our incredible Real Estate Agent, she was not only our saving grace, she made our family’s dream come true!!! In fact, we closed on our beautiful home within a few weeks, which put us ahead of schedule to pack and move, all before the holidays! Before we worked with Ebony, we actually found a different home we were interested in, which was represented by another real estate agent. Although the home tour didn’t work out for us, naturally, we stuck with him because he was kind and seemed helpful without being pushy. Before we flew back home, we found another house that we liked and he assisted us in making the offer. Soon, we were faced with a crazy bidding war involving multiple buyers. We went through several rounds of offers sent back and forth for weeks. Throughout this entire nightmare, we felt that we were not provided with the correct guidance and recommendations in a timely matter in order to have a successful negotiation and offer made. Plus, communication by email, phone and texts were always delayed, sometimes up to days. It was just frustrating and exhausting being in the dark about everything…Living far away from it made things worse. Overall, we felt that we weren’t prioritize nor were our needs, even though it was understood how stressed out we were given our tight timeline… In the end, that home did not work out. After this, we sent our real estate agent two lists of homes that we were interested in, hoping if we did some of the work, it would help him out. When we didn’t hear back within a few days, we followed up only to find out nothing has been done yet… Luckily, we found another house that we liked and it turns out Ebony represented the home. When we told our real estate agent about it, once again, we did not hear back. As a result, we made the decision to contact Ebony ourselves to get more information and we instantly connected with her. Even though she knew that we were contracted with another real estate agent, she was still willing to assist us with a video house tour at 7 p.m. our time, 9 p.m. her time…Throughout the tour, she was not only genuine, warm and welcoming, she was honest and very helpful with the information and resources that she provided us. After the house tour, my husband and I knew we had to revisit our drawing board. When we reviewed our timeline, we definitely felt the weight to buy a house ASAP. We also realized the urgency to have an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent, one who can not only assist us, or make their sales, but one who can prioritize us and make us feel supported and valued. Deep in our hearts, we knew this would be Ebony… If we had more time to work with, we would have been more flexible with our real estate agent, but given the small time window, and different constraints, we had to do what was best for our family. As hard as the decision was, we terminated our contract with our real estate agent and we signed on with Ebony. Moving forward, having Ebony as our real estate agent was one of the best decisions we have ever made as a family. Ebony is truly the best of the best in the industry!!! It is evident that Ebony has strong and deep knowledge about the real estate market. Everything from local property values to neighborhood dynamics and market trends to laws. She provided us with accurate guidance and advice in order to set us up for success. With a client-centric approach, Ebony is an excellent communicator. She is quick to respond to our emails, calls and texts. In fact, she does regular check ins to provide us with status updates. If we had questions, she had the answers, or she would connect with her team to assist us until we had what we needed. Even though we are on the other side of the country, we always had a peace of mind and the confidence in Ebony knowing we were in good hands with her. When it came to making an offer on the home we loved, Ebony is the true master of negotiation. Her recommendation for us involved a number of things, including market knowledge, strategic communication and emotional intelligence to advocate for us and our best interests. She researched the market and property for our home, as well as surrounding homes in the neighborhood to advise us on the best, competitive offer that meets our needs. During our inspection, similarly, Ebony went above and beyond by requesting past inspection reports from previous buyers. She focused on major issues, using repair estimates to justify requests and communicated professionally and respectfully with the seller and owners. Lastly, Ebony has an extensive network of professional contacts, which was extremely valuable to us as we are new to the area. We used every single contact that she recommended, including an inspector, general contractor, insurance company and a long list service providers. Top agents advocate for their clients to get the best terms on the purchase price, closing costs and repairs. Ebony championed every task every step of the way. Thanks to Ebony’s grit, tenacity and generosity backed by a proven track record of success, talent and wisdom, we are proud to say we’re officially homeowners! We’re very excited to move into our dream home soon for our growing family!!! If you’re looking to buy a home, whether you’re living Texas or from out of state, we highly, HIGHLY recommended Ebony Onyemu and her wonderful team. We’re looking forward to recommending her to all our family and friends, hoping they will move to Texas as well. We love you Ebony!!!!
