Home buyers and sellers love Agent Pronto.
Here’s what some of the 400,000+ home buyers and sellers have had to say about our service.
“Steve rocks! He was on top of things and kept me informed as issues arose. He pulled me off the ledge a few times and he was surprised that I called to thank him after the closing. He's a keeper.”
“Agent Pronto was quick to connect me to Mike Frank, a gem to work with. The sale transaction went very smoothly. Mike Frank was patient, conscientious, and responsive. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience working with him.”
“Working with James was a terrific experience. He is most knowledgeable and realistic when evaluating real estate. He always kept me informed and had timely calls regarding our next decisions. I recommend him most highly.”
“It was great! We were put in touch with the best real estate agent around!”
“It's been great working with Bobbi - she is very responsive (never once missed a phone call or text), always on point but never pushy, be it her advice on pricing changes or negotiating an offer or following up on repairs. She arranged multiple open houses, brought in a steady stream of potential buyers, helped us a lot thru the whole process, made it easy for us even after we moved out of state and got our home sold just before the winter hit. Loved working with her and would definitely recommend her. ”
“Dena was absolutely incredible. I could not be happier.”
“Thank you, Agent Pronto, for recommending Karl. He was an amazing agent and just got the job done! I would recommend your service and Karl to any future home sellers or buyers!!!”
“Cheri Gibson was the best I have ever dealt with. She was professional at all times. She answered all our questions. She is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell/buy. The house was listed and sold in one day.”
“We loved our experience with Jacob! He is pretty amazing and kept on top of things through our whole process. He went above and beyond his duties as an agent, and to that we are very grateful! It's almost sad to see our time come to an end; it was habit to talk with Jacob every day! We are in love with our new home, and we have Jacob to thank for that!!”
“Kathy Volpe was fantastic! The seller's realtor and lawyer were dropping the ball. Kathy did work they should have and kept the ball rolling and make the sale happen when it needed to happen, so I had a place to live when I left Minnesota for Illinois.”
