lauragwilkinson Client, Seller

I highly recommend Todd Akes for any realistate help, whether you are looking to buy or sell. My husband and I used Todd to help us buy a home in 2011 and to help us sell a home through a short sale in 2013. Todd is very professional and he knows the ins and outs of the market and how lenders and banks do business. He gets the job done efficiently and he works hard to help get what you need.

Jennifer Adams Client, Seller

Todd is absolutely wonderful. He is honest and knowledgeable about the Vegas real estate market and the short sale process. I've had a prior experience where the realtor that I was referred to was very pushy and did not seem to have my best interest at heart. So I was so glad when I found Todd. It was like night and day from my last experience. He really knew what he was talking about and was with me the entire way to get my short sale approved - even though my financial situation was better than most. I've been told that short sales could take 6 months or more, but Todd got mine approved quickly and we closed in about 2 months! He really helped take a huge weight off my shoulders and I couldn't have done it without him. It's rare these days to find a realtor with integrity and dependability, who will go out to bat for you. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you're looking to buy/sell a property in the Las Vegas area, your search is over. Todd Akes is the best!

Lisa Hall Client, Seller

Todd assisted me with short selling my house a few months ago. We started the process over a year and half ago. Despite the fact that the bank took forever and we had a couple of buyers walk away, Todd remained confident that we would sell the house. After weekly and sometimes more phone calls and emails to the bank, he was able to get a deal approved and we sold the property. I have dealt with Todd on other occasions and am always impressed with his knowledge about the real estate industry. He was always available when I had questions and handled the deal with amazing professionalism. I continue to recommend Todd to anyone needing a great real estate agent.

Todd was able to help my family get into a home in October of 2010. Now after living in our new home for the past 6 months I can tell you it's a perfect fit for our family's needs. The catch is we almost didn't get into this home due to some underhanded tactics by the seller and their realtor. Todd was able to advise on how to negotiate and manage our way through a purchase that was very complicated having a lot of twists and turns (i.e. Todd's due diligence found there was an IRS lien on the home that the seller didn't disclose).

Corey and Kendra Landholm Client, Seller

Todd Akes took a bad situation and turned it into a golden opportunity. He helped us in a short sale that was thought to be a losing battle, but with a little persistent negotiating and strong will he persued the light at the end of the tunnel and got a positive short sale. With that secured short sale he showed us properties that were in our best interest and price range and the need for more space for a growing family. In other words if you could put this into a few words I would have too say that this realtor is the perfect person for the purchase of a new home or the selling of an existing home. Thanks to the great service we will absolutely be prepared to talk on his behalf to any person who is a little gun shy of letting a realtor help in times of need or just looking to look for a change.

Nitin Engineer Client, Buyer

Todd Akes served as an excellent and resourceful real estate agent. With his great assistance, I was able to find and purchase the home of my dreams. More specifically, I was able to successfully bid and close on a short sale in 2.5 months. Todd spent many hours patiently touring multiple homes in the Henderson, NV area. Once I had found the one I loved, he helped me to go full force and close the deal. In addition, Todd also put me in contact with the right bank to get a loan. I would highly recommend him for anyone's real estate needs, and would use his services again if I am in the market for another home in the future.

Todd was wonderful in all aspects of our home buying process. REO's are not very easy homes to buy and without Todd's expertise it would have been much more difficult. He went above and beyond before, during, and after our house was purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Todd to anyone.

Todd makes what is a very difficult and trying process as easy and painless as possible. From the initial sit down to signing off on the final sales papers, Todd was professional, courteous and on top of his game. He secured a full price cash offer on my home and made sure it was a buyer who we could trust to follow through... and they did. Todd was also quick to update me on what was going on and made sure I was in the loop at all times. Bottom line... the man got the job done. I have already recommended Todd to several friends and would do the same for anyone reading this post.

I was a first time home buyer and was really nervous of the process and how much I actually needed to know on my own. Todd made everything so manageable and broke down the area and how the house buying process goes. He helped me in every aspect of my journey and I would recommend him and his team to anyone I met. They would be in good hands with Todd!

Terry and Pam Tripp Client, Buyer

Todd Akes did something none of the other real estate agents I interviewed did; he listened to my needs and concerns and responded to them in a positive way. He did not waste our time showing my wife and me properties in areas that we were not interested in or that were out of our price range; in other words he always put our requirements first. Once we found the property we are now happily living in he guided us through the offer process in a very efficient and professional manner. This was our 5th home purchase and in spite of some bumps in the road (nothing is easy in this market) it was remarkably stress-free thanks to Todd's very professional assistance. My wife and I will highly recommend Todd Akes to anyone we know that requires the services of a real estate professional.

Cory Demille Client, Seller

The tipping point for me on my decision to shortsale my house was that a very good friend had recently went through the process. He gave me Todd's information and after a few weeks I gave Todd a call and we set up a meeting. Even after the initial visit with Todd I was still on the fence due to an emotional attachment to the house and the neighborhood. After consulting with friends and family I finally convinced myself that the best thing for my family would be to break the emotional tie to our home and shortsale which meant being intentionally late for the first time! Todd was very understanding and made it clear the decision was mine! No hard sale and that was what I needed. That was the hard part! After that Todd and his team handled everthing and the whole process took approximately four months. It was less painful than anticipated and I would recommend Todd and his team to anyone contemplating a short sale or any other real estate transaction.

A true professional. Our house search was frustrating, until we met Sal Martines. He is a problem solver who knows how to speak to banks and other agents. He put us in our dream home and then, using his relations with the investment community, sold our condo lickity-split. His Personal Assistant Karen Drexhage adds a second level of confidence. Sal is the best.
