“Hi Dick,
Thanks again for your help in purchasing our home in Gateway, Fort Myers. You made the “home buying” experience an efficient and pleasant one.
From the beginning you impressed us with your knowledge of the market, organizational ability, interpersonal skills and overall professionalism. Initially we covered a lot of territory and saw many homes; because you’re observant and a good listener it became clear to us that you had knew exactly what we were looking for. After our initial inability to reach a deal on our first offer, we remained confident even after we left Fort Myers for Massachusetts that we would still make something happen this year. And, of course, we did!
As a result of your professionalism, we felt comfortable with you and trusted your instincts about the property that we finally purchased (for us, sight unseen.) We believe that says a great deal about your skills as a realtor and also about your ability to work hard and effectively with others. You sent photos via email and did the homework necessary to close the deal in a timely fashion. Clearly, this would not have happened and been such a smooth transaction without your involvement.
So thanks again for taking the time to work with us, and for being a positive and skilled real estate advocate in the purchase of our new home.
We appreciate your efforts on our behalf.”

“My wife and I have been actively trying to purchase a second home in the Fort Myers/Estero area for three years. We made several offers on both short sales and traditional sales, but none panned out. It was either we were not the first offer (even if our offer was higher), or it was our offer was not the highest (even though we were first in), or we had the offer the bank was working with on a short sale, but the bank decided at the last minute to foreclose instead and we got pushed to the side.
We were ready to give up, but discovered Brad Dohack online back in Chicago with his 2 cent tours. He was touring places we had not even seen before, so we gave it one last shot with Brad last spring.
To summarize, Brad got it done when no one else could. After working with Brad in the spring without scoring, he kept working behind the scenes and called us out of the blue in September with news of a home he thought would be perfect for us that came on the market that day. He emailed us over 50 pictures and said it was an excellent short sale property and would not last long. And he was right.
We had our offer submitted within 24 hours, but there was an offer in front of us and several right behind. The seller considered them all and chose ours and sent it on to the bank. But Brad did not stop there. He worked tirelessly with the negotiator to get bank approval within two and a half months. During that time, we asked for a number of things and raised a number of difficult issues. Brad could have said he would get back to us in a day or two, but instead he would always respond within an hour and whatever was requested was in my email shortly after that and every issue got resolved quickly and to our satisfaction.
If you are an out-of-town buyer looking for a second home, there is no better agent to have working with you than Brad Dohack. He will not give up until he gets you what you are looking for. And he is always reachable so there is never a feeling of not knowing what is going on. He gets it done when no one else can.”

“My wife and I worked with Brad for nearly a year in an attempt to secure a lot (which was in short sale) and then to negotiate to build a home. Along that journey we also looked at existing homesites. Throughout this process, which ran the full gamut of realty services, Brad was truly a professional gentleman. He was always accessible, prepared and knowledgeable. He was flexible and accommodating. It was easy to become his friend because it was clear he was concerned about us and was treating us as he would a close friend. You can rest assured that you have found a professional with integrity.” ~Joshua and Ronna Nagin

“My wife Adrianne and I are very busy full time professionals with a 2 young children. We were currently out growing our first home and knew it was time to look for a home with more space and one with character. Home prices were at their best and interest rates were at historical lows.
Like most folks searching the internet is the most common way to find the dream home. That is where Brad Dohack assisted us with every step of the way. We knew Brad from several friends of ours. Like many people in Florida, everyone knows a realtor, but do they truly know a professional and expert of real estate? I knew Brad after having several conversations with him. You can tell the difference in character compared to the other realtors out there.
Just give him a call and you will find out.
Every home we found, Brad was there to quickly assist in setting up an appointment to visit while respecting what little time we had. Visits to house showings were done either after work or in between our childrens’ naps….. In fact most showings were all scheduled around their naps. He was quick to identify pros and cons of each home.
When we finally found the perfect home, the process of placing an offer on the home was well done to a science and art. The process of signing the offer was efficient thru Docusign. And Brad was there to help negotiate. Once the offer was accepted by the selling party (which was a bank since the home was a short sale) he took the time to explain to both of us the process and timeline. Brad assisted also with communicating with our loan officer, the title company. This communication proved important as it sped up the transaction to meet its deadline.
I would highly recommend Brad for any buying and selling needs of real estate in SW Florida!”
