We didn't even list the house and Jeff found a buyer, showed them the house and an offer was made and excepted in a matter of 2 days! Jeff was very easy to work with and made the selling experience smooth. He always answered phone calls, text and emails. When we needed to make improvements, he took it and ran with it. So not only do you have a great agent, you have a "contractor" to help with things that would take days to get finished. All paperwork was quick & in order! I would highly recommend Jeff Gapen.

We used Jeff Gapen as our realtor and could not be more pleased. Jeff and Karen found the house we ultimately purchased and recognized that it would be perfect for us when we definitely would never have been able to picture it. We trusted their judgment and relied heavily on their advice in deciding to purchase. Jeff negotiated transparently and quickly, and we had an accepted contract within only a day or two. The house’s interior needed to be completely remodeled, and Jeff assisted with arranging and executing everything we needed to have done. We made it to closing smoothly, and there was never any issue that arose that Jeff didn’t resolve quickly and satisfactorily. We’d especially recommend him to anyone who might be interested in purchasing or selling a home that might need some attention/repair, as he is connected to all kinds of contractors and tradesmen. In the end, we ended up with the exact house we wanted completely remodeled to our own taste. Had it not been for Jeff and K

The Gapen’s are a great real estate team!!! They made the process of selling and buying a home effortless, but their help went way beyond that. Karen is fantastic at staging homes for sale and Jeff helped us find the right people to make repairs to both our new and old home. You will not regret hiring them!!!

Karen and Jeff do an amazing job! They have helped me find and sell multiple homes including my current one in Lake Forest that I absolutely love! What truly sets them apart is their experience, talent and teamwork. Karen has an incredible eye for staging. She has transformed my last three homes so beautifully that they sold within days and at top dollar. Jeff is exceptional when it comes to negotiations and contracts, always making sure every detail is handled perfectly. The Gapen Team’s vision, professionalism and dedication make the entire process smooth and successful every time. I highly recommend! T Giles
