“Service and Expertise are #1 for me and in that regard, Mike McCatty provides excellent service and his expertise especially in the area I was selling in, is top-notch. Having a lot of previous sales experience in my development meant he already knew how to market and sell in the HoA I lived in, and what the requirements were to complete the sale with the property management company. Mike also properly communicated expectations in selling during this time of economic uncertainty knowing the market was shifting. Even still, my home received plenty of traffic, solid feedback and a number of interested buyers. I cannot possibly say enough kind things about Mike, his client-centric approach and calm demeanor in addressing other realtor's lack of professionalism, such as not leaving my home as it was found, unlocked, etc.. I would absolutely 100% recommend Mike to anyone who needs a realtor. I am very pleased to have chosen his services and would do so again if needed.”

“I live in Lincoln, NE and was charged with the responsibility of selling my deceased brothers' home in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Thank God Kim answered the call. Kim held my hand every step of the way and made a very difficult situation manageable. Within a couple of days of advertising the home, we had two buyers bidding on the property. Kim even helped connect me with a real estate attorney as well as other professionals needed to prepare the home for the sale. The property closed and the sale finalized within a month. Kim's decades of experience, along with her kindness, intelligence, integrity and sense of humor helped me through. I am eternally grateful to Kim and her team and I recommend them without reservation. They are totally awesome. There is no better real estate team!”
“Ray was a wonderful realtor who went above and beyond to help sell my late fathers home. He was compassionate, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. So grateful for Ray.”
“Katherine Rubis was outstanding in dealing with my needs. I was in Japan and did the entire process remotely. This was my first home purchase and she was very knowledgeable and made it very easy. She had all the support professionals (lawyers, insurance, and banking contacts) to make the entire process smooth and seamless. I would definately use her again and recommend her to anyone, especially if you are a first time homebuyer.”
“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”
“Kathi was amazing! She kept us informed with every step, and answered every question we had thoroughly. She also saved our bacon a couple times when we weren't sure about something. She's very professional, kind, and attentive”
“Very friendly and approachable person. Very easy to work with. Was really invested in the process and treated us with respect. I don't feel like just another client when working with her.”
“Agent Pronto was very helpful. I met Steve Brashler, my realtor, through Agent Pronto. He did a fantastic job with the sale of my house. He's easy to work with and made the whole experience easy and pleasant.”
“I have family members who are realtors and I wanted someone I could use and keep my business private and professional. Gus was excellent and I truly appreciate all of his hard work.”
“Sharie did excellent job. Always accessible on time. Extremely approachable”
“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
“Lee and Denise always looked at property with me and payed attention to every detail. They wanted the best for us. You can tell it's something that means more to them than commission. We were so happy to have them. Any issues we had we tackled together. He would call to check in with us during the waiting time. Very kind and compassionate. We were so happy with them. Highly recommend.”
“Ralph Waller was so wonderful to deal with during our home buying process! He is very patient and his energy is very calming. He was very accessible and very timely in responding to questions and concerns. I would recommend Ralph to friends and family for sure!!!”
“Given the current over-saturation of brokers and hot market climate, it's tough to find someone as committed and passionate as Cindi Maus - someone who ACTUALLY acts in their client's best interests and needs. And someone who isn't willing to settle until these needs are met. We can't say enough about how professional, accommodating, accessible and dedicated Cindi was throughout the sale of our home. For how stressful of a process this was, Cindi sure made us feel assured and at ease - from the initial sale offering to the final closing. In all honesty, Cindi's experience, attitude and commitment sets the standard. Thanks for making this experience one we'll never forget!”
“Wow, Marge is an amazing realtor! Knowledgeable, professional, communicative, resourceful & passionate about what she does!”
“Dave Manson is the ultimate professional. Working with him makes the process so much less stressful and I trust him completely. I highly recommend him.”
