“I had interviewed several brokers, in forming my decision for a listing agent. I chose Michael Rowan from C21 because his beliefs/knowledge of what the market would bear for my property was inline with my beliefs, as well as, not requiring me to jump through hoops that other brokers wanted. ie: move out, and needed repairs. Even though it did take 4 months to sell, that was in part because of listing in the "off" season, as well as the limited potential of the buyers pool to a required age, and income. I was also happy that Michael was willing to negotiate his % to make a sale happen. If you are looking for a knowledgeable broker, especially for the Quail Run community, you can't go wrong with Michael Rowan.”

“My husband and I have really enjoyed working with Joel in the process of finding a new home. He has been extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He was timely but not too pushy. He is very detailed-oriented, which we appreciated greatly in the unique home purchase we made. He was very clear in explaining documents, market trends, and legal topics we were less familiar with. He was also very reliable and dependable.”

“We can't recommend Mike Emerson highly enough! He went above and beyond in selling our home. 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. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will work hard for you, treat you like a priority, and get results, look no further than Michael Emerson!”

“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!”
