After nearly ten months of construction and supply delays, I moved into my new home last week. Robert found the neighborhood I was looking for; close to the lake and great schools for my 14 year old daughter. He answered all my questions in a timely manner and was able to guide me through the very long and tedious process. He was with me at each step and his advice added options that I would not have considered had I done it alone. I will be calling on him for my next move, though, right now, that is far from my thoughts

Robert is an excellent agent, we highly recommend him! He is very patient and never made us feel rushed during the home-buying process. He is quick to respond to client questions. We have used him for several real estate transactions in the past, and we will continue to use him for our future needs. Five stars!

Robert Ortuno guided us through the sale of our first home (which he helped us purchase three years prior). He is knowledgable, reliable, and communicative every step of the way. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone in the midlands looking to buy or sell a home!

Robert is a consummate professional with a strong work ethic. The process of selling a house seemed daunting and overwhelming but Robert’s guidance and recommendations made the process easier and less stressful. He went out his way to answer any questions I had at almost any hour and was quick to tackle any concerns that I may have had. I am completely satisfied with the work Robert did and would recommend him to anyone.

Robert was very helpful every step of the way in the process of buying a new home, including selecting options and answering all our questions. We will be working with Robert to sell our old home as soon as it's ready to go on the market. Highly recommend!

Robert did an excellent job of walking us through the entire process of purchasing our new home, from meeting with the builder until closing with the attorney. He was very responsive to all our communications, and paid great attention to detail. Even the closing attorney noted how unusual it was to have a real estate agent as diligent as Robert. We look forward to working with Robert to sell our old home.

After hearing friends rave about how Robert helped them land their dream home, I decided to reach out to him for help during my own house-hunting journey. This was my first time buying a home and I didn’t quite know what to expect, but Robert did a fantastic job of breaking down the process for me and explaining every little detail. As we walked through homes, he was very honest, and his experience and knowledge of the business was extremely evident as he pointed out things I wouldn’t have ever known to look for. After I put in an offer (and after it was accepted), he kept in touch frequently to provide me with updates and to let me know what to expect next, and he was there to answer all of my questions, regardless of the time or day. It was such a pleasure to work with Robert, and he made this such a fun and enjoyable experience for me. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a new home!

Robert was great, I originally was just casually looking for homes and wasn’t too focused on closing and Robert was very respectful of that. He never rushed and pushed me in any direction and always gave me sound and solid advice when I had questions or concerns. Robert was completely unbiased in his feedback and it made me trust him a great deal. I’d highly recommend Robert for anyone looking for an easy going realtor. He made my first home purchase an easy and pleasant experience and I’m very thankful for that.

Our mortgage broker recommended Robert to us. We are new to the area so we did not know anybody. Robert was AMAZING! We were on a small time frame so we had to see all the houses in two days pretty much, unfortunately we did not find anything and had to go back home but the next week a house showed up, Robert went to go see it for us since we couldn’t go back, well we FaceTimed. He made sure to show us everything and gave us his personal opinion based on what he saw he liked from previous homes and well we end up closing our first home without even being there!! All thanks to Robert. He knew what we wanted in our home and he knew it checked all of our important boxes. Thank you so much for all you did we love our house and it’s everything he said it was over there phone.

Robert was great for us as first-time home buyers: he helped us be critical when looking and reassured us about the typical home-buying procedures. He connected us with resources and people. Very grateful to have someone like him walk us through this: highly recommend.

I hired Robert to help me buy a house in Columbia and I have been 100% satisfied with his performance since day one. His knowledge of the market and his negotiating skills were superb. I was unable to attend the closing and he handled every step of the process perfectly. I strongly recommend Robert and will be hiring him exclusively for all my future real estate transactions in Columbia.

Robert was awesome!! Extremely professional. Not pushy, but very intentional in listening to my wants vs my needs in a home. He is patient and extremely thorough. He is also very knowledgeable about homes in the Columbia area. Rarely did he not have the answer to a question, and he was quick to fins out if he didn’t.
I would highly recommend him to others! I found myself in a panic the night before my contract would have hit the ten day mark and I would not be able to get my earnest money back, just feeling unsure about the purchase. I called Robert and he helped me work through my feelings AND helped me realize that particular home was not for me. Eventually I settled on a new construction home and was so thrilled to have Robert walking me through the process. Again, I highly recommend Robert for anyone looking to purchase a home. Thank you Robert Ortuno!!

Robert did a fantastic job walking us through the process of purchasing our first home. Robert spent a fair amount of time during our journey to find the right place for us that meet all of our requirements we were looking for in a first home. He's patient, yet figured out pretty quickly what we liked and didn't like when it comes to features in a home. Luckily, we found a steal in a great neighborhood. Had Robert been on his "A" game for us we would have missed out on that opportunity. He knows when to be short and to the point when it was required. Along with taking the time to walk you through what ever questions you may have when you have the time. He has the right set of contacts that are fair and reliable to get you in the right deal for you. I had hooked up with my credit union to secure financing. After we talked about closing cost and such he saved us thousands of dollars in the process. He got us in touch with a local lender instead that was just as much a pleasure to work with as well. Then had the right contractor contacts that painted the whole house a fair price. Making our diamond in a rough a diamond again. I cant thank Robert enough for helping us through the process. Every step he was there and had our backs. I'd highly recommend his real estate knowledge and services to whom ever is looking for an agent. No matter if it's your first home or your retirement home.

How do you pick an agent? Find a lender? Why does this house smell weird? I didn’t know anything about buying a house, and I spend days reading reviews before investing in a new blender. Unfortunately, I didn’t have that kind of time. Fortunately, I found Robert so it didn’t matter. Robert is thorough with his explanations, realistic with timelines and expectations, and always two steps ahead. I never felt rushed or pressured, and he was amazing at knowing what I wanted before I did. He was able to take a stressful situation and make it bearable. I will never go to anyone else.

Robert is the best! I have bought and sold properties numerous times over the years, and I can honestly say I have never worked with an individual as well rounded as Robert Ortuno. He operates at the highest level of professionalism. He is very patient with questions, treats clients the same whether they are savvy or novice, and his work ethic and knowledge of this business shine through in every interaction. In addition, he sees beyond the business of home buying and selling and understands that this is a very personal process for residential clients, whether they are relocating, up- or down-sizing, or buying their first home. All of these things I mention are not things Robert states to you as part of a sales pitch: they are things you will experience if you are one of his clients. Thank you Robert for a job well done!

Robert was professional, personable and knowledgeable throughout the home buying process. He was willing to meet at any house or at any time to satisfy our schedules. He was always understanding and cooperative with our needs as we had a toddler and infant. Robert was also very responsive and informative in answering all of the questions we had about the area, house or process. I would highly recommend.

Robert Ortuno is the best realtor. He contacted me right away and helped pick out the best home in a quiet neighborhood with great people. He went out of his way to help. He helped communicate with my family also since I have special needs. Also he helped me get a free 15K for the house in a wonderful neighborhood. Robert Ortuno is there for you, really listens and helps. I recommend him to anyone looking for a house.

Robert recently helped us buy our new home. He worked tirelessly until he found a home that “ hit the mark “ for my husband and myself . He makes sure he listens to his clients wants, yet he still thinks outside the box. He is extremely professional and friendly. The entire house buying adventure was so simple because as our Realtor he handled everything and kept us informed. He is so good , he is now going to sell our current home . We both highly recommend Robert Ortuno !

From start to finish, Robert was amazing! He took the time to sit down and find out what we were looking for in a home, and explained the process in a way that I clearly understood. After talking to us, he took everything we told him and worked diligently to find us our perfect home. He was considerate, took our thoughts to heart, and tailored our viewings to our needs and wants. It was such a joy to work with him.
