He was a skilled and inventive professional with a penchant for taking his subjects from across the globe-out of the studio and into specially selected locations and contexts that tapped into their personalities.

I have been meaning to write this review for a very long time. My review of Bob Mader of Coldwell Banker Wallace: Friday, May 20, 2022 On September 24th of 2019 I helped my mom obtain her E-Home Certificate, thus completing her requirements for the Section 502 Direct Loan through HUD and Rural Development. We decided to start looking at homes and called about one in Sunbright, Tennessee.
This is where we met Bob Mader on September 26th. Bob, a realtor working for Coldwell Banker Wallace, showed us multiple homes in East Tennessee. He must have acquired over three hundred miles on his odometer the first few days of working with us! Originally my mom fell in love with a small home that needed a new floor joists installed. According to Rural Developments rules and regulations she should have been able to purchase this home and then make the repair. Unfortunately, our HUD representative refused to approve this and left my mom heartbroken.
At this point most realtors let their clients go. Bob Mader went above and beyond his normal job duties. He stayed in contact with us every day answering every question about real estate we could come up with. When I found a non profit group that was able and willing to get my mom into a new home Bob stuck with us! Realtors are paid a commission on the sale that they make.
The day that Bob met us he was aware that he would not make a big commission from selling a home to us. When the original sale fell through and we started working with a non profit group he knew that he would make nothing! He actually took a loss at this point if you count the time he invested, gas, wear on his vehicle and lunch! On June 19, 2020, Bob attended the closing on my moms new home!
I would have given up the search for my mom's retirement home if Bob Mader had not stuck with us. He is a true realtor who loves what he does. When I first met Bob I was very impressed by his appetite to learn. Any time he did not have an answer to a question he was quick to research and then get back to me me with answers. He is dedicated and amusing. I would recommend Bob to anyone looking for a new home. Review by: Charlene Perry
