“We were very happy working with Cynthia. She was always very responsive to our requests and explained the process at every step (important for first time buyers). Cynthia was also extremely helpful when it came time to negotiate with the house's previous owners on price and repairs. Communicate was fast and she was extremely knowledgeable on the Heights and surrounding areas. We definitely plan to use Cynthia for any future real estate needs.”

“Cynthia Mullins has leased our Heights home out 3 times since we got relocated out of state. I won't even entertain the thought of having someone other than her handling thus for us. She is the BEST!!”

“Cynthia knows the market, gives good advice, and made my transaction as smooth as could be by anticipating and dealing with any potential complications and dealing with them before they became issues. She was amazing and I recommend her without hesitation. ”

“We were referred to Cynthia through a colleague of mine. We wanted someone who was familiar with the heights area and that is exactly what we got, plus some! Cynthia helped us with our search for over a year. Two options periods later and we found the perfect home for us. We probably had seen over 20-30 homes over that period of time and Cynthia was always there to give us honest, constructive feedback. I think that is why we enjoyed her so much, she would never try to 'sell' us the house. It was more similar to her being a good friend, lending us advice and doing her best at pointing us in the right direction. She was always focused on our needs, the value of the house in question, and working her hardest to get us the best deal possible. Cynthia is very knowledgeable of the area and the historic bungalows that we were looking at. She has an eye for detail, and always provided suggestions and recommendations on how to increase the future value. Her knowledge proved extremely evident during the inspection process, explaining every item to us, and making sure we negotiated properly. We were first time home buyers and new to the whole process. Cynthia was great about keeping us informed and on track. She was always prompt and I never hesitated to call her if I had any questions...and I always had a lot. All in all, we had a great experience and would recommend her 100%. ”

“Unfortunately, our experience with Cynthia was very negative. We were underwhelmed early on due to the fact that she seemed unengaged and too busy to care much about us as clients. When we were with her, we felt like she was e-mailing or texting on her phone rather than paying attention to us. We also felt that some of the advice she provided was questionable. We seriously considered changing realtors, and in hindsight, should have done so. The biggest issue was that Cynthia failed to provide our lender all of the documentation needed to release the funds to close on our house. We were unaware that the bank was missing anything until they called us the day before closing because they couldn’t get ahold of her (she was out of the country on vacation). We then spent the next day scrambling to collect the invoices and documentation needed, which included reaching out ourselves to the listing realtor, sellers, & companies who performed inspection repairs. Luckily they were very helpful, but we shouldn’t have had to rely on the seller’s realtor when we had one of our own. We felt we were left in a huge lurch with no one to go to, as the realtor filling in for Cynthia didn’t have the documentation needed (not his fault). We barely managed to close (paperwork came through 15 minutes after our scheduled closing time), which caused a great deal of stress as we were schedule to move in the next day. Most disappointing of all is that since Cynthia returned from vacation (2 months ago), she has not bothered to stop by, call, or e-mail us to explain what happened, apologize for the major inconvenience, congratulate us on our new home, or thank us for using her. Frankly, this lack of ownership and disregard for us as clients is the reason for this review. Of the 4 realtors we’ve used, Cynthia was least helpful. While we’ve been happy with Boulevard in the past, we won’t use them again because of this unpleasant experience, and we recommend that others find a different realtor”

Thank you for your honest review. I will take what you have said to heart and use it to improve my skills and become a better realtor. Even though this is my first bad review out of 102, it still stings and I am truly sorry you had this experience. In regards to the texting, I really appreciate the feedback. I try to remain unobtrusive when clients are viewing a house. I want to be present and available but not make them feel rushed. I thought handling my texts and emails while they take as long as they need was a good solution. As you know from experience, I try to respond quickly to any communication I receive from you no matter the time of day or night. I strive to do this for all my clients. If I had any idea this was unacceptable to you, I would have waited to respond to my other clients. I will definitely approach this a little differently in light of your comments. Over the 14 years I have been a realtor, many of my clients have appreciated the advice I have provided such as which lenders have smoother transactions than others. As I mentioned when you were selecting a lender, the one you chose has a long history of service issues similar to yours. I wish I had communicated better the challenges many face with this lender as your experience is not uncommon. The lender you chose was not prepared despite my providing the requested documents on multiple occasions before and after I left town in addition to him receiving them from you with the initial contract on day 1. I agree that the scramble for receipts the day before closing was stressful and unacceptable. This was the result of working with a lender who did not have the foresight to request them well in advance based on the information he was provided with the contract and addenda early in the transaction. A quality lender plans appropriately and does not create unnecessary emergencies the day before closing. Even though I was out of the country in a place with very limited internet service, I was able to make my colleague and the seller’s agent aware of his request within a few hours. I am intimately aware of the stress you felt throughout the transaction and your dissatisfaction with me when things did not go as planned. I was trying very hard to improve your experience, but was unsuccessful. I wanted to call you when I returned, but honestly, I thought it would be bothersome to you. I made the wrong decision here and should have called you anyhow. I really regret that I was unable to make this a positive experience for you and I hope in the future you will not penalize other realtors at Boulevard Realty because of your experience with me. I wish you the very best in your new home.

“We worked with Cynthia on both the sale of our prior home and the purchase of the new one in the Heights. We highly recommend Cynthia. She is knowledgeable of the Heights market, was responsive, and provided sound advice.”

“This is our second time leasing out our home with Cynthia. First time we were crunched for time and she got the job done FAST. This time, we had time to look for a specific type of tenant and she was patient with us and made it happen. We would use her again and again!!! ”
