Robert Lang of CENTURY 21 Northland

I will recommend Bob to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Bob always answered or returned phone calls in a timely manner. Bob is very professional, and at the same time, down to earth.

Spoke with Robert in passing at my place of employment and our conversation led to me being interested in 30, 40 to 50 acres, preferred to have no structures on land, but would consider if location and property were what we were looking for. Robert started forwarding listings of vacant land that day. My wife and I actually drove to a couple of the locations to check them out. We looked at several different properties Robert offered with in the county. We looked at a three parcel section of land near Hubbard Lake, the property was great but land locked and the road was very difficult to get back to the property. I had called Robert that Sunday afternoon and advised him this property would not work due to those two factors. The next morning Monday April 24th, Robert sent me two additional listings, the 30 acres on Scott Road we were VERY interested in by the pictures offered and location. I spent the entire afternoon looking at the pictures over and over, and doing other research on the property as well, by that evening after dinner I called Robert and requested a physical tour of the property. It was nothing but cold and rain all that week, but I requested to view the property immediately. An appointment was set for Thursday May 27th at 6:30 pm, and Robert would meet us there. Robert was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions, if he didn't know something, he advised he would check on it and call me back. He always called back! We knew how the real estate market has been going and knew others would be interested in this property as well. We requested to view the property that Tuesday evening if possible instead of Thursday. Robert received permission from the current owner and that Tuesday evening despite the weather, we walked the property. This is what we have been looking for, a section of property big enough to hunt and build on, yet close enough from town and heavily wooded with hard wood. I was speaking with Robert as we walked the property and I was impressed, with all the rain we had, the property seemed to drain well. I requested Robert to put a bid in on this property that evening. Robert sent my wife and I an email with the required bid paper work, and once we drove back home we completed it and Robert submitted it. Over the next couple of days, we were on pins and needles waiting for a response, and in the meantime I had to get my credit approval from our local credit union and by Thursday of that same week (original tour day) everything was submitted. The seller accepted our offer and we were very grateful! Over the next week or so, Robert kept us informed how things were going and when the property inspection should be completed. Wendy at HPC kept us informed as well, and was extremely helpful. On May 16th we signed for the property. We are very grateful to Robert at Century 21 Northland, and Wendy at HPC Credit Union for their work in helping us obtain this property. It most likely will be a good year before we will start to build, as we have to clear a section of the property to build. So looking forward to this new adventure and building a log home on this property.

Bob is very thorough, and helped us along the way, he always answered the phone or immediately returned the call if he was on the other line. Very knowledgeable of the housing market.

Highly recommend and very professional and trustworthy and knowledgeable

Robert Lang is an outstanding realtor. He handled locating and showing property to out of state buyers efficiently and effectively. Bob pointed out flaws and perks in the properties and was patient with our shifting needs and desires. Bob has made our relocation easier with referrals to restaurants, veterinarians and other community resources. I highly recommend him.

We were referred to Bob Lang through a third party but thoroughly checked him out as well as other agents. By far, Bob was the most knowledgeable and qualified of any of them. Bob made our long journey to finding a home smooth, enjoyable, and worthwhile. He's an agent who goes above and beyond the call of duty, offering excellent advice when needed. As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciated Bob's insight on which houses were most likely to be a good fit, what to look for, and which contingencies / repairs to ask for. His knowledge of reliable inspectors and contractors in the Alpena area is second to none. Bob did an amazing job at facilitating a long-distance purchase of a home. He always made himself available when needed and made sure to check in frequently during the most delicate parts of the purchase process. I couldn't ask for a better realtor. Bob understands the Northern Michigan real estate market and will go the extra mile to make sure your purchase goes smoothly.
