“I am a first time homebuyer. I am a single woman that was very scared to take this leap and buy a house alone. Chris was ALWAYS available for all of my questions. I could talk to him in the evenings, mornings, and even on weekends. Whenever I wanted to see a property, Chris MADE IT HAPPEN! He took the time to walk me through complicated documents at my pace. Chris is very experienced and good at negotiations. He was able to get 2 major repairs done at the property at the Seller's expence!”

“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“She's very knowledgeable and she's the pro. She made a good deal with the property that I got. She was able to get a sellers credit that covered my closing cost. The amount is more than the closing cost itself. Ate Adora will guide you and explain all the details. She's also always available to answer your questions and is there when you need help. I highly recommend her. I'm grateful that I get to know her.”
“Working with Payal Kir was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She was there for every step of the home-buying journey—always accessible, highly knowledgeable, and deeply committed to making the process smooth and successful. Payal took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided thoughtful guidance and expertise throughout the search, negotiations, and final closing. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Several agents reached out to us with basic information, but Jane Cresswell's initial contact was a step above all the others. She'd done some research and already had some helpful information about our property. Outstanding from the outset and brilliant throughout.”
“Matt was very professional and personable. He was attentive to all my questions and took care of the "little things" diligently. He was also a great resource for the technicalities of the moving process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.”
“Laura was a pleasure to work with. She was very patient because we don't live in the area and she made herself available every time we wanted to look at the properties. She really made a point to get to know what we wanted. She replied to our emails promptly and we felt confident as she was guiding us through this process. Great agent to work with.”
“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
“Wonderful experience!! They were experienced and professional and prompt!!”
“Chuck was a complete pleasure to work with! We have made a new friend!”
“Ms Hagley was referred to us by good friends. She understood what we wanted and came through with that. She guaranteed we’d be in contract no more than two weeks and we were in contract before the two weeks was up. It was a difficult decision for us to sale my grandparents’ place but I am soooo glad we did. I’m always throwing the name out there to people that are thinking of selling. I’m very grateful for the services that Cindi provided for us. I would highly recommend Cindi and her group because they stand by their word and commitment to you. Thank you again!!!”
“The whole process went very well. Christy is an amazing realtor. She always looked out for our best interest. She was very friendly but professional as well. I would recommend her to any one who is buying or selling their home.”
