“From the beginning Octavia listened carefully to my wants and desires. She delivered options that appeared designed specifically for me. As the process progressed I became nervous and unclear on some aspects. Octavia took several calls from me, even during non traditional work hours. She thoroughly explained every document to me. The attention to details and customer service she embodies is worth honorable mention.”
“From the start, Dave was extremely responsive and easy to reach. He always got back to us right away and kept us informed without us having to ask, which made the process far less stressful. We’ve worked with other realtors in the past, and Dave was leaps and bounds better than anyone we’ve dealt with before. The difference in communication, organization, and overall handling of the process was very noticeable. We ran into several unique and tricky situations with different buyers, including issues caused by mistakes on the buyer’s side. Dave went above and beyond to step in, straighten things out, and make sure our interests were protected so the deal could move forward. He also priced the house very well. His expectations were spot-on, which helped lead to a quick sale and a great price. Throughout the entire process, Dave was professional, dependable, and steady. We always felt like he had everything under control. We would absolutely work with him again. Highly recommend.”
“Ed's professionalism and first hand knowledge of the real estate industry was evident from the first day I met with him for the sale of my mother's home. He followed through promptly with every question I had and kept me apprised as we moved along from the first offer to settlement. With Ed's guidance and expertise we were able to close within 30 days. He truly was a pleasure to work with! Thank you Ed!”
“We are grateful for the outstanding service Joe Walker provided throughout our recent home buying journey in Smyrna. Joe demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market and took the time to listen to our needs and preferences. His professionalism and commitment were evident every step of the way. He answered our questions and patiently walked us through each stage of the process — from search to offer to close. His knowledge of the landscape gave us valuable insight and confidence in our decisions. He consistently provided honest advice, and we felt that he truly had our best interests at heart. Joe kept us informed on important deadlines and requirements. Challenges that arose were quickly addressed with calm and efficiency, helping us navigate what could have been a stressful experience with ease. We wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a real estate agent. His expertise, integrity, and dedication made our home buying journey both successful and enjoyable.”
“From the moment we met Margaret, we can attest to the fact that she is a seasoned/dynamic professional who leads by example. Her greatest attributes include a creative problem-solving ability, dedicated focus, and tireless work ethic which no doubt enables her to maintain solid relationships with her clients. Margaret had an outstanding rapport with us from “Day One” and her proactive approach to any aspect of our home purchase was second to none. Margaret’s willingness to assist us in achieving our goal of relocating from NJ to DE remained inexhaustible. No matter what obstacles we encountered, Margaret’s unwavering commitment and tireless efforts made our dream of retiring in Delaware become a reality. It was inspiring to have witnessed Margaret’s adeptness in any aspect of our home-buying process through her wealth of experience and ability to overcome any hurdle. Without Margaret, we never would have closed on our perfect retirement home in an incredibly short period of time.”
“Hands down the best real estate agent. Kazy was extremely helpful and accessible. He helped make my dream come true.”
“Mary Ann understood what I wanted and found just the right home! I could not be happier with the price we paid. She helped get us a credit after the inspection showed plumbing issues. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”
“Mike was with me every step of the process of buying my first home. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped make this process easily and hassle free. He was always available for a showing and answered any questions in a timely manner.”
“Jetta was recommended to me by Octavia and I completely see why she came recommended. She took care of my family and I the entire time even through emergency situations we had to deal with outside of the home purchase. Jetta was reliable, communicative and highly supportive every step of the way. She ensured that we had every answer to question we had. Additionally, Jetta kept our interest as a priority and resolved every issue ethically and efficiently.”
“Cathy was great to work with! She was very responsive and as soon as I placed my request, she contacted me and got things in motion. Thank you for all your help.”
“Jessy was and still is an amazing realator. She was extremely organized, great at communicating often and checking it and always honest and open with me. She strived to check every aspect of each home that was important to me to be sure I found the perfect house for me. She continues to support me and communicate with me and I'm so happy to have had a friend recommend her to me. Jessy is an absolute delight to work with any anyone would be lucky to have her help in finding and purchasing their first home.”
“Very happy with every aspect in dealing with Dan and Denise.”
“Chris Pataki was our agent and when I tell you that there is no one better, believe me. There isn't. Chris was responsive, caring, concerned, and a guiding force through our home buying process. He found us a beautiful home that appraised over the asking price and in a very competitive market. Chris is knowledgeable and goes beyond expectations making sure that our closing was smooth and our home ready for move-in. If you are looking for a realtor who just doesn't sell you a home but helps you acclimate to a location, he is your guy. Coming from the Penn State area, he was able to explain neighborhoods and home values. He is a class act and we will always consider him more than just our realtor but a new friend!”
