“Kazy was patient with me, I was being very selective in choosing a potential property. The process lasted well over a year. He never pressured me into anything I didn't want, and was quickly supportive whenever I had a question or wanted to look at a property. When the right place came up he was quick to act, and his negotiating tactics were pivotal in ensuring that I got the house, despite there being a bidding war on the property. Beyond his business expertise, he's a good person and someone I eagerly recommend to anyone else looking for a place.”

“With this being my first home buying experience, I had no idea what to expect. Dave Johnson set the standard, if I unfortunately have to use someone else in the future. He made everything very understandable, gave great tips, insight, and clearly explained every step of the process so nothing was lost in translation, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience working with him, and with my purchase several months into homeownership. It's almost like he was born for it.”

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.”

“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.

“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!”
