This highly dedicated professional comes ready to get the job done. Picked up the phone EVERY
time we called, and sold our home in record time. You won't go wrong picking Bob Vanston to fulfill
your real estate needs.
Thanks, Bob! Bob and Erika Bryan

Not only did He do his first job exceptionally well. Which is selling the house and protecting my
asset. He was personable and understanding in guiding my wife and I through the process. Making
sure we didn't make any mistakes and taking all of all calls no matter how irritating. You know
sellers get vey anxious and impatient. Thank you Robert you are the bomb.

I wanted to express my thoughts concerning my recent sale of my home. I thought Bob Vanston
did an awesome job. He definitely took the time to make me feel important, and was very qualified
in his line of work. I am so happy that I asked him to be a part of this important time of my life. He
really made every thing happen and very smoothly. I would recommend him to everyone.
Very Sincerely,
Sandra F

We sold our mom's house through Bob. He was professional, responsive, a great negotiator and
found us three competing bids within two days of listing the house. Due to Bob's expertise we sold
the house over the asking price to an all cash buyer.
I would highly recommend

Bob was knowledgeable, friendly, and quick to respond right from the very start. Everything went
smoothly. He was easy to get in touch with. He knew what to have me do and when to have me do it
and guided me through a process that was completely foreign to me. I would definitely
recommend him to anyone and would use him again in a heartbeat.

Bob is the best Realtor I've ever had. He was very professional, caring, informative, helpful.
communicated in a timely manner and found a fantastic reasonably priced clean out service for me.
All these things were so important to me since the property was in Scranton and I'm in Florida. He
made the whole experience as seamless and painless as possible. Highly recommend!

Owning residential and commercial rentals, we buy and sell often. Bob stands out from the crowd -
no nonsense, focused, knows the market, how to negotiate, and gets the job done. Excellent
communicator and response time. He offered practical advice to prepare the property to sell that
didn't waste our time or money. We can't say enough good things and look forward to referring and
working with Bob again.

Great communication and service. Went above and beyond to get our home sold.
We would highly recommend Bob to anyone buying or selling a home.

Bob does excellent work, we got multiple offers in less than 2 weeks and closed smoothly at over
asking price. Buyers had the potential to be difficult but Bob well managed the situation and all
sides' expectations.
