“Amy is an outstanding agent who helped my family with a home sale during a very stressful time. She made everything extremely easy. She thought of things no one else did, to head off issues before they became issues. She gave great advice that was practical. Amy’s involvement and creativity yielded multiple offers and an above asking price sale. She was reassuring and professional. She brought a lot of knowledge and experience to the table. She is also just a great person who put me at ease straight away. I trust her completely. This went as smoothly as it possibly could have. I cannot recommend Amy enough.”

“From the very first meeting with Kyle, I felt very comfortable with his profesionalism...not only in how he handled himself, but also taking into consideration his knowledge of the real estate business. Kyle was not pushy nor was he forcefully opinionated. Kyle did not "play games" as he presented the realities of the property I wanted to sell, and he gave me a very good idea of value and expectations up front...no attempts to dissuade me over to his possible personal likings or personal opinions. Kyle mostly listened, and then quickly gave me legitimate and honest feedback on each item. Kyle was easy to contact throughout the sale process, which made everything seem easier than it might have been had Kyle not ben my agent.”

“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!”
