“Wendy Teixeira was outstanding! ”
“I was immediately connected with an agent and used her services. A home was located and I was in Escrow within 1-2 weeks. I was very satisfied with this agent, who really went above and beyond to take care of every detail.”
“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!”
“The house sold 4 days after it went on the market, and for $10,000 over list price. Nothing more could be said. Great recommendation.”
“We had Matthew Welch as our realtor and he was so easy to work with. What I appreciated most was the consistent open communication. He was available to us at all hours and assisted with anything we had questions about. Matt has a very positive outlook and reassured us that our perfect home was out there. He was right. He worked hard for us and worked to give us the best chance of getting the house we really wanted.”
“Adrian was a very wonderful agent. He helped me a lot with the sale of my property. A very helpful and prompt agent. He knew his business. I will use him again. I want to tell everyone out there if you need someone in real estate, pick Adrian - he's the one.”
“Jess Williams was very professional and did a fine job.”
“When it was time for my elderly parent to sell her home I had no idea how to select an agent to represent her. Agent Pronto selected two agents to talk to who were familiar with her location. They both responded to me quickly and gave me great advice!”
“Agent Pronto was great! They connected me with an awesome agent who was with me every step of the way. My agent provided information at each intersection of my purchase! Even with a few bumps in the road, Sheila Green kept me informed.”
“Your agent gave me the best service. He is complacent, courteous, very knowledgeable, and has a very satisfying manner. I said the above statement because I was a former real estate agent. I am proud to recommend this young energetic agent to all my relatives, friends and acquaintances.”
