Not only did Mike guide us through every step of the process with expert advice, but he also worked tirelessly to ensure we got the best price for our property. Mike’s knowledge of the local market was invaluable, and his strategic approach to marketing our home made a huge difference. The attention to detail in staging, pricing, and negotiating was impressive, and we were always kept in the loop with clear and timely communication. What truly sets Mike apart is his dedication. He took the time to understand our goals and worked relentlessly to make them a reality. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment were clear at every stage, and it’s thanks to Mike that we were able to sell our home quickly and at a fantastic price.

“Zachary Newman was awesome. I was very fortunate to have him as my first realtor ever. He was extremely knowledgeable. He became well acquainted with what i was looking for and what I may qualify for under my pre-qualified loan terms. On a number of occasions, we would visit a potential property, and he would easily identify possible problems that would either hinder the ability of the property to get approved under my mortgage terms, or may pose a problem down the road. He gave very sound advice and/or pointed out red flags when looking at homes. He was very responsive in all of our correspondence; to the point where I was hearing hiccups and issues regarding the approval of my loan from him first, before my mortgage loan team would alert me. More than often, he would have a offer written up for potential home in less than a day. He was patient with me as we looked at a number of homes and did not show any frustration with my hesitancy toward certain homes. I cannot thank him enough for viewing homes on my schedule, sometimes driving across town to show me a home late into the evening due to my work schedule. I will definitely use Zach again should i ever buy or sell in the years to come.”

“I contacted Agent Pronto and Heidi Parkins responded to my call within 5 minutes. She was nothing but helpful, caring and just all around wonderful. She knows what has to be done and does it. I'm recently widowed and Heidi was an angel sent to me. I couldn't have done any of this without her. She is the best and will always have a place in my life. She is a go getter, very professional and very ambitious and will make things happen for you. I can't say how much I appreciate and love her. She was with me every step of the process from selling to purchasing, and is still there helping me even after the purchase of my house. Heidi Parkins is top-notch in her field. I'd recommend Heidi for any of your real estate needs. Thank you, Heidi, for everything you've done to help me. You are truly the best!”
