Buyer Brokers of Cape Cod , Churchill Associates Inc.

We feel very fortunate to have had Bob as our representative. Bob is very professional, great with follow-up and a pleasure to work with.

After viewing several existing homes in several towns, we got the opportunity to build. This was the first time we had ever purchased new construction, which became a learning process. Bob expertise was helpful throughout the many delays, twists and turns of the process. He kept us focus on our goals and the final prize - our new home!

Along the way he fostered a good relationship with the builder’s agent, which proved to be invaluable to us. Anytime questions came up he was immediately on it, getting answers no matter what time of day or night. Having Bob locally, since we lived 2 hours away, he became our eyes and ears. He often stopped by, checking on progress and sharing pictures.

After this challenging year and a half we are in our new home, for which we are very thankful for Bob's patient guidance.

I cannot say enough about Bob and the wonderful work he does for his clients. This is the second time I have gone to Bob seeking his assistance to find, not a house but a home and once again Bob dedicated himself day and night to accomplishing that goal.
Bob Churchill works for only you and no one else. He puts the time and effort into finding you just what you’re looking for and negotiates all of the often difficult nuances of home buying on your behalf.
Bob is the most honest, sincere, reliable and knowledgeable person you could ask for when undertaking your home purchase.
He researched everything throughout the Cape for me in advance and when I was able to be here to look, he had arranged it it all. Bob’s knowledge of the Cape housing market and his extensive list of contacts is second to no one, and far exceeds everyone else.
And the wonderful thing is even after you’ve closed on your house (which he also participates in), Bob follows up with you to ensure you know where things are, who you can go to for housing needs and even the best restaurants.
I speak from my experiences with Bob that you not only get someone who you can trust completely, but also a friend.
I’ve lived all over this country and interacted with many real estate professionals. I can say with the utmost surety, there is no one better than Bob Churchill and Buyer Brokers of Cape Cod.

Can't say enough about Bob Churchill - he is knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. Bob worked with us for over five years to find our perfect home in Eastham. I have moved a few times over the years and I have always use a buyer broker to protect my interests - Bob is one of the best!

I just moved into my new home and I thank Bob Churchill for making this dream come true. Given the current market, it appeared that finding a home at my price point would be near impossible. Not only did Bob stay positive and encouraging throughout the process, he found the perfect place for me in just 9 months time. I couldn’t be happier. Bob guided me with thoughtful, well informed insight. His knowledge of the Cape, his professionalism, and his dedication to the process was invaluable. He listened carefully, fielded every question and request promptly, and always with an eye for my best interest. Bob is trustworthy, forthcoming and guided me expertly. He put together an impeccable team that made the closing virtually stress free.
I can’t say enough about my experience and recommend Bob without reservation to anyone looking to buy on Cape Cod.

Not having purchased a home in many years and never on the Cape in a seller’s market which presents its own challenges, we needed Bob Churchill, who was not just a buyer broker but a true partner in the process and soon a friend. Bob knows his job and the Cape inside and out, but more than this he knows people. And by this we mean not just helpful contacts from viewing properties to closing, which he certainly does. Bob knows how to talk and, above all, to listen to people. He makes it very clear from the outset that he is interested in getting to know not only what you want but who you are. My wife and I know what we like and were able to identify the house we bought in a fairly short amount of time but that didn’t get us to the finish line without us second-guessing ourselves. Bob was in touch with us on an almost daily basis, serving as a sounding board and offering judicial advice. He never tried to move us in any particular direction but rather made our own desires more transparent to us and put what we were feeling in perspective. Once we decided to make an offer and after the home inspection made it clear that certain fixes would be necessary, Bob calmly offered us context on how these things usually go on the Cape and how this particular property compared to others with which he had been involved at the inspection stage. As we live off the Cape, Bob even went by the property by himself to take pictures to show us how the work was progressing. He kept in touch with the seller’s realtor, asking him whatever questions we had for him, no matter how hard we thought they were. If ever there was a question Bob couldn’t answer, he immediately found someone who could. Clearly, Bob loves what he does, because he loves helping people. We can think of no higher recommendation than this and no better person to guide a buyer through what might otherwise be a difficult process than Bob Churchill. He is the first person we have met on the Cape. We cannot imagine meeting a better one.

After a few summers spent on Cape Cod, my wife and I wanted a great home to use throughout the year for our family. We also wished to use the house as a vacation rental to offset the expenses. Since I was not familiar with the Cape, I reached out to four different realtors to begin a relationship. One realtor did not even respond to my inquiry. Another realtor was too worried about my qualification letter. The realtor I found through my bank did not even bother to inquire about a house we were interested in. Yet, from the beginning Bob actually picked up the phone and wanted to help. He showed the initiative in helping us.

We needed help to define our exact want for a home and where the house was to be located. The importance of Bob's knowledge was paramount since we lived out of state. After a lot of research we went to the Cape for the weekend to deepen the search. The internet searches are helpful, but Bob was absolutely helpful in showing us several areas and giving us advice. After a few days, my wife and I understood the market, narrowed down our choices, and had an offer accepted on 9 Wilfin.

The next steps of finding a closing attorney, flood insurance, dwelling insurance, and preparing the closing were also made easier with Bob. During all the conversations, I felt like I knew the area, the town, and how things worked. Bob was our feet on the ground as we decided to close remotely. Even after closing, we needed a small issue remedied, and he even helped with that.

Needless to say, we have worked with many realtors, but Bob has set the new standard. He understands the need for personal contact, guides you thoughtfully through your search process with absolutely your interests in mind, and he goes above and beyond to ensure the transaction is smooth.

Working with Bob Churchill was a wonderful experience. He knows the Cape—its neighborhoods and history--and was able to expertly help us match our needs and desires to the available housing. Bob works very well with other realtors who clearly welcomed his help in finding buyers.

We enjoyed visiting houses with Bob. He easily accommodated our approach to searching for a new home and location while being informative about the positive and negative aspects of each house and letting us make our own appraisals and decisions.

Over several years, Bob helped us define and find the house that really suits us. He patiently took us to see dozens of houses, with many months between our trips to the Cape, and with often changing priorities. His advice was very helpful, and he clearly loves the Cape and was happy to share local information.

Using the services of a buyer-broker to guide you through the challenging process of purchasing a new home is a smart move and engaging Bob Churchill as your advocate is one of the best decisions you could make. Bob is an expert in his field with extensive knowledge not only of the housing market but perhaps more importantly of licenses, permits and regulations. He has years of experience in dealing with regulatory authorities which enables him to seek out and resolve issues that may arise during the house acquisition process.

Bob is a good listener which in turn enables him to formulate and ask important questions regarding the buyer's needs and wishes. He has access to a long list of reliable service people who can assist with providing estimates for work to be done which may need to be part of the purchase negotiations.

Bob is incredibly supportive and his cheerful optimism is a great asset especially when things are moving along more slowly than one would wish. The thoroughness with which he works promotes a high level or confidence in his skills. Bob keeps in touch after the final paperwork has been completed to ensure that all expectations have been met and that no new issues have arisen.

I doubt if I could have fulfilled my requirement of staying in a specific neighborhood within my budgeted price range without Bob Churchill's services. Not only was he able to find a house with more desirable features than I had hoped for, but through his diligence he uncovered several significant issues regarding the property which I would probably not have found on my own. He worked tirelessly to successfully resolve these issues and kept me up to date every step of the way. Working with Bob was a pleasure.

Bob Churchhill has been an increadible ally and patient guide as we looked for almost two years to find the right home. Bob's knowledge of the Cape was invaluable and his patience along the journey helped us to narrow down our search. We noticed early on that Bob is well known and respected by other cape realtors, enabling us to have a competitive seat at the table in a very challenging seller's market. On a week to week basis Bob would continously check in on our thinking and he was equally happy to give us time away from house hunting when we needed it. We are very grateful for all his support, from brainstorming to helping us find the right mortgage and closing resources. In an era when it takes a village to find and buy a house Bob is the proverbial Town Cryer.

If you are about to embark on a home buying journey, Bob Churchill is the seasoned real estate professional you want! My husband and I just bought our home and can't begin to put into words how invaluable Bob was throughout this process.
Bob's deep love for the Cape, combined with his extensive knowledge of the real estate market are exceptional. He knows all the local resources, contractors, town officials, etc. He will work tirelessly to help you find the perfect home by researching properties, answer your questions every step of the way with utmost patience and professionalism. Bob is diligent in fact-finding, checking records and will basically "turn over every leaf" for you.
Bob is both an excellent listener and great communicator. Throughout the entire process, Bob kept us up to date on all relevant issues and timelines. Essentially, he became our "life buoy." As we came to the end of the process, there was a momentary glitch with our title search. Bob was cool, calm and collected and very reassuring while we were anxious. He called a couple of times to lend support and it was comforting to know he was right there with us.
Finally, on a more personal note, Bob is a kind honest man who is just so likeable! Somewhere along our home buying journey, my husband and I made a wonderful friend!

Our search for a home on the Cape had been percolating for a long time. When we started working with Bob, the meandering day dream became a true process. Bob’s patient positivity, experience, and knowledge of Cape Cod were invaluable. He was willing to both follow our lead and then guide us with questions and suggestions to consider. With each home that we visited, we confirmed what we were looking for so that when we walked in the door that first time, we knew. Bob knew too because he had taken the time to get to know us, and he helped us with every step of the purchase. Bob was a pleasure to work with.

My fiance and I are first time home buyers. Coming into this process, we literally knew nothing. Bob Churchill helped us through each and every step with respect, loyalty and honesty. He stayed on top of everything for us and made the process much less stressful than it can be! Once we found the house we will call home, Bob continued to stay in touch to make sure everything was going okay. He was always available to us when we needed to get into the house or go by the house for something- even on the weekends. His service was absolutely phenomenal!

Working with Bob was undoubtable the most professional real estate experience my wife and I have ever had. We have bought and sold many houses throughout the country, but this experience was exceptional. Bob was recommended to us by close friends who live on the Cape. We have owned a small property on the Cape and our desire was to buy a larger home prior to our retirement. With very limited time to search, it was uncanny how quickly attuned Bob became to the type of home we wanted. After looking at homes for a couple days Bob showed us the perfect home on the third day working with him! Most impressive Bob personally took care of all the nuance details required to get to closing. This was extremely helpful to my wife and I since we would be out of town until the closing date. Additionally, Bob is still helping us with various items after closing. I would most strongly recommend Bob to anyone considering buying real estate on the Cape.

We wanted to buy a house on the Cape in a very specific neighborhood. Bob Churchill was a great asset throughout the process. He is friendly, knowledgeable--knew the neighborhood well-- and has a wealth of contacts. At every step: inspection, negotiating with the sellers, closing, Bob had guidance and resources to share along with cheerful good humor and a listening ear. Without his assistance, we could not have completed the transaction and be enjoying our home on the Cape!

We were referred to Bob by 2 different friends of ours who had both worked with Bob to help them buy their houses on the Cape.
From the first phone call we had with Bob, up to when we actually found and bought a house, Bob was with us every step of the way.
He set up numerous showings for us, worked out comps for the areas that contained properties we were interested in and advised us on the neighborhoods in those areas.
His patience with us, his understanding of what we wanted and his knowledge of the Cape were invaluable.
Even now, after we have closed on a house, Bob still keeps in touch with us and is still offering to help us in any way he can.

We cannot say enough good things about Bob personally. He is a such a nice person, a true gentleman and such a pleasure to work with.

Simply put, we wouldn't be in our new home without Bob. For the better part of a year, my wife and I worked with a number of different agents in the New England area to find a place within two hours of Boston. To be honest, we never really felt entirely comfortable with an agent who worked on the sell side. I had heard a couple of compelling stories about buyers agents, and when we found Bob, his tenor and approach immediately stood out, and we wanted to work with him. We would be rewarded for our good judgement.

Bob worked tirelessly for us, starting with a comprehensive search that stretched just beyond our parameters, with a primary purpose of pinpointing all the "musts" and "wishes", as well as the "definitely nots" and "we could live with thats". Though Bob's access to the MLS database is extensive, his local knowledge of the cape area proved most invaluable. There was a house he knew of, set to hit the market in only a couple days, and he thought we should take a look. It was (and is) perfect, and in short order, we had a verbal agreement.

The purchase & sale and closing process was not without its surprises, and at each unexpected turn, Bob was there to answer our questions, assuage our fears, problem solve, and most importantly, go to bat for us. Bob left the decision making in our hands, but not without making sure we were pointed in the right direction. Knowing the process is overwhelming for first-time homeowners, we appreciated Bob's nightly phone calls, even if they were just to check in and see how we were doing.

I can't stress enough how important it was to have Bob's resources and knowledge of the Cape at our disposal. His references for bank loans and contractors are thoroughly vetted. Above all, he cares deeply about his clients; I'm sure of this. As evidence of this, several months after we closed, Bob hosted a welcome party for me and my wife to meet the neighborhood, a gesture that was entirely unnecessary but greatly appreciated. While he was initially our buyer's agent, we now consider Bob very much our friend, and it is without reservation that I recommend him and his services.

As we began to think about the process of looking for a second home, our most important factor was to work with a seasoned real estate professional who had good local knowledge and most importantly was free of any conflicts. Thus, we reduced our search to buyers’ brokers and found Bob Churchill (on the internet of all places!). After one phone call and visit to his office, it was evident that Bob was the proper choice.

The Spring of 2018 market in the mid-Cape was tight for the type of property we were looking for, but Bob made sure we remained patient to wait for the right home. When we found that listing, Bob jumped to work – scheduling a visit the next day, and helping us put together a strong but fair offer that was accepted.

Bob helped us with due diligence, engaging an attorney and inspector, and staying in the loop right until closing. We are grateful for his recommendations for other referrals as well, which have proven to be professional and responsive.

We are now the proud owners of a wonderful home in Yarmouth Port thanks to the great efforts of Bob. As important, we struck up a nice friendship along the way, which we hope will continue for many years to come.

All our best,
Ed & Marie M.

My wife and I cannot say enough about Bob Churchill. We began the process of searching for a year-round home on Cape Cod in the same year we were getting married. Bob displayed a genuine level of compassion, patience, and understanding throughout what was, predictably, a stressful and hectic time for us. Most impressive was the fact that it was clear that he just didn't want to sell us a house. He knew we were starting a life and family and he was excited for us, and that excitement for young people in our position fueled his commitment to us throughout the long journey. As first time home buyers we were anxious and inexperienced with much of the process, and he walked us through everything. Finally, he was just so easy to talk to. He made you feel comfortable about expressing any worries or concerns, and ultimately, became a friend in the process. Please see Bob if you're thinking of buying a home!

I wanted to write a short note about how important Bob Churchill was in the process of us purchasing our home. We were moderately experienced in home purchasing but we needed local market expertise and an independent unbiased perspective. Bob was professional and a true expert throughout the process. He helped us navigate through one of the largest challenges on the Cape (flood zones). He also helped us to thoroughly research the property permitting and zoning. Finally he provided a thoughtful clear analysis of the market and a fair property valuation. We trusted him completely and we successfully navigated what could have been a very complicated transaction in less than 8 weeks. We are truly grateful for the help he provided and could not have done it without him.

I am not sure where to begin, except to say that if you are buying a home on Cape Cod, Bob Churchill is an invaluable asset; he ensured that my interests were always looked after, he patiently answered ALL of my questions – even the ridiculous ones – and most of all, he pointed me in the right direction every step of the way.

Bob is a wealth of information not only about the real estate market on Cape Cod, but also about virtually every aspect of owning a home on the Cape. He took great care in researching all aspects of the property so that there were no surprises along the way. He provided me with contacts for financing, for legal needs and for the work that would need to be completed on the home. To be clear, he never pressured me to use anyone. With that said, Bob clearly enjoys a sterling reputation within the business community on the Cape; each entity with whom I contracted, when they learned I was a client of Bob Churchill, reacted accordingly. Their services have been without exception top-notch – and I owe so much of that to Bob.

Finally, there were – as I am sure there are with any real estate transaction – a few bumps along the way. Bob always kept his cool – even – perhaps especially – when I did not. Each time an issue arose, Bob ensured that I was kept in the loop and that my options were always clear. He always gave me his opinion as to how I should proceed, but again, never pressured me to move in one direction or another. And in understanding that there was no pressure from Bob, I trusted his opinion implicitly. The end result is what everyone hopes for – I am in exactly the right home having paid what is arguably exactly the right price. So much of that, I think, is because I was fortunate enough to work with a buyer broker who carries not only so much knowledge, but perhaps more importantly, integrity.
