“Kylee is amazing at what she does. Glad to have a friend as a realtor moving forward and can't recommend her enough. She's prompt, professional, and knowledgeable in her space. She went above and beyond in many aspects like same-day showing for the home I bought and needed to see quickly. She also has all the right contacts for things like home inspections, roofing, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, etc. She helps make things go smoothly which is exactly what any buyer (or seller) needs. Hire her!”

“Cristian was amazing throughout the whole process! He was super helpful, patient, and really took the time to get to know us and understand what we liked and didn’t like. We never felt rushed or pressured into making any decisions, which we really appreciated. He made sure we were comfortable with everything and let us move at our own pace. He was also always available whenever we had questions or concerns and made the whole home-buying experience a lot easier. We really appreciate everything he did for us and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“Samantha is absolutely amazing! She is so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping her clients find the perfect home. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the entire home-buying process as smooth and stress-free as possible for us. She was always willing to answer our questions, offer helpful advice, and make sure we felt confident and informed every step of the way. We truly appreciated how responsive, patient, and attentive she was throughout the entire process. It was clear that she had our best interests at heart and wanted us to find a home that was the right fit for us. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Samantha made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and dedication in helping us find our perfect home! We would absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients and goes the extra mile!”

“Dale along with his son Chris were absolutely amazing. My sister and I had just lost our Dad and had to sell the house and find a new place for us. He's the perfect combination of knowledge, professionalism, and kindness! He as a way of making you feel comfortable. He still calls to check up on us and helps with questions that come up being first time home owners. We couldn't have had a better realtor!!”

“We were so lucky to find Gabriela in 2021 when buying our first home, and five years later, when it was time to find our second, she was the first person we called. We knew we wanted to work with her again, and we’re so glad we did! Gabriela is knowledgeable, hardworking, and truly cares about her clients. During our second home search, she went above and beyond to accommodate us, helping us see more than 14 homes in one day and even adding new showings at the last minute whenever we found something we wanted to see. She always brought helpful ideas and perspectives to the table while giving us the space to make our own decisions. She also took the time to dig into important details that helped us make informed decisions and negotiate with confidence, ultimately helping us secure a new roof and seller concessions. Throughout the entire process, we felt like she was holding our hand, looking out for our best interests, and making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. Buying a home can be overwhelming, and having someone like Gabriela by your side makes all the difference. We’re so grateful to have worked with her twice and would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“David made my first home purchase such a smooth experience. As a first-time buyer coming from renting, I had a lot of questions and honestly felt a little overwhelmed going in. David walked me through every step, was always quick to respond, and made sure I actually understood what I was signing up for instead of just rushing me through it. He also knows the Phoenix market really well, which made a huge difference in finding a place that fit both my budget and what I was looking for. I never felt pressured, but just genuinely supported. I would recommend David to anyone, especially first-time buyers who want an agent who'll take the time to explain things.”

“We had previously only worked with one real estate agent before because we had a great relationship with her. Sadly, when we moved to AZ, we had to look for a new agent. Ashley has helped several of my new coworkers, including my younger brother, to find the best home for our needs. She is 100% on our team and has gone to incredible lengths to make sure we were happy with options and ultimately, with our purchase. Needless to say, we will continue working with Ashley for years to come. Thank you, Ashley!!”

“Five stars isn’t enough for Amy Brooks! Selling a condo comes with its own unique challenges, and she made the entire experience effortless from listing day to closing.

“Patrick is a great listener. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we spent our time wisely. He helped us in every step of the process and answered every question. Not only did he have the answer, but he also responded very quickly. We always felt he had our best interest in mind. On a personal note, Patrick is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and quick to smile or laugh. We would trust him to help us should we need him again.”

“We have been working with Garett Chatham from the Gluch Group since late 2019, and he is undeniably our "go-to" real estate agent. Garett recently guided us through both the purchase of our new home in Mesa, Arizona and the sale of our previous house in Chandler, Arizona. Simultaneous transactions were stressful, but Garett made the process seamless by being remarkably responsive—he was always just a quick text or phone call away whenever we had questions. Our Chandler home received an offer the first week and closed within the month. He has been incredibly patient with us as clients, yet willing to be exceptionally firm to protect our best interests on both the buy and sell side. We felt completely supported every step of the way and highly recommend Garett for anyone looking to navigate the Phoenix real estate market. A sincere thank you to Garett, Yana, and everyone from the team who has helped us along our home buying journey.”

“Caden helped us in navigating all of the 55+ communities in the area. Which ones were worth looking at, which ones had the amenities we wanted, etc. He saved us hours of running around so we could focus on the communities that might be a good fit for us. We finally decided on Florida because of family in that area, but Caden was immensely helpful in our search. He knows his stuff!”

“Melissa is an extraordinary Realtor who went above and beyond our expectations when we decided to sell our home of 36 years. She was able to get us the sale price we wanted, to the first people who visited, on the first day of listing! We were kept well informed throughout the whole process, no matter when we had questions. She even came to the house when it was over 105 outside to replace the security door locks WHILE WEARING HIGH HEALS! If you want a tough negotiator who will close your sale, you can't go wrong with Dierks Realty!”

“Claire and the Ackerman Team treated our unique experience with dignity that we didn't know existed. The passing of a loved one is never easy. Claire's unwavering patience and attention to detail made it much more manageable to get through probate. She kept us informed during every step and was very communicative. Trust your property with Claire, and you won't regret it!”

“Blaine was amazing at helping us find our house! We were in a bit of a rush because we have a baby coming, and Blaine was extremely diligent in getting us into our first home. With being first time homeowners, we had a lot of questions. Blaine was quick and precise on explaining the process, and we would 100% work with him again!”

“What impressed me most about Michael happened after the sale had already closed. Several months after we moved in, we ran into an issue with our freezer and a home warranty claim. At that point, Michael had already been paid and had no obligation to help. Instead, he got involved, worked directly with the warranty company on our behalf, followed up, and helped push the issue toward resolution. That level of support after closing says a lot about his character. During the purchase process, Michael was equally committed to representing our interests. I tend to negotiate aggressively, and there were several times I wanted to push for terms that most agents would have advised against. Michael never dismissed our position simply because it made the deal harder. He continued advocating for us, even when the seller's agent became frustrated and didnt want to continue discussing certain items. One example that stands out was when I wanted to submit what many would consider a lowball offer. Most agents would have pushed me toward a higher number or told me not to bother. Michael simply said, "Lets give it a shot." He presented the offer professionally, and to everyone's surprise, it worked. I also appreciated that Michael never acted like a salesman. He never tried to convince us to buy a particular house or spend more money. He listened, gave his honest opinion when asked, and then worked hard to execute the direction we gave him. If you r looking for a realtor who will genuinely advocate for you, even when its uncomfortable, and who continues to stand behind his clients long after closing day, I highly recommend Michael. I would gladly work with him again.”

“Bryan has been our realtor for the sale and purchase of our last 3 homes and he is the best to work with. He's always super pleasant and is very responsive. There was a miscommunication only the one time we have worked with him and we believe it's because of our different phone providers, anyway he said the only reason he wouldn't answer my msg is "because he's dead" lol and he's not so you should use him as your realtor too! Thanks Bryan and Taylor your the best!”
