She staged the property wonderfully to maximize it's appeal. She was very systematic and level headed in contract negotiations. Bottom line is, we were so pleased that she got this property sold in January for 96% of the list price! Thanks Heather!”

She didn't just treat me as a transaction; she took the time to understand my needs and was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. Her proactive communication meant I was never left wondering about the next step. Whether it was coordinating viewings, negotiating details, or handling paperwork, she was on top of everything and kept me regularly updated. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and supportive.

“Working with Kim was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care for my family's needs. My home needed several upgrades before listing, and Kim went above and beyond by helping me find reliable contractors and even helping manage the process to ensure everything was done on time and within budget. Thanks to her hard work, guidance, and excellent staging, my home received an offer on the very first day it was shown! Selling and moving can be intimidating, but Kim was like a fairy god-mother: always accessible and full of calming advice. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Kimberly Thurm.”

“Immediately upon meeting Tracy Anderson, I knew that she was the perfect realtor for us. Her local area sales experience, personal involvement and life history within the neighboring suburbs, the positive attitude she projects, and her light-hearted personality were unquestionably ideal for meeting our home selling goals. Tracy managed our sales process expertly and with ease, reflecting a humble confidence and control that created trust and excitement for us. We immediately realized her sales strategy would propel us smoothly to a gratifying sales experience. Prior to live posting on the MLS, we received multiple full price offers from the first day private showings. Tracy's clear communication and skilled negotiating with all involved parties, even prompted an above price offer. We could not be more elated with our time spent with Tracy and her very personal approach. Of course, I sincerely recommend her as a highly exceptional real estate agent.”

“Dan was very professional throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable about the neighborhood and broader trends and we were able to respond quickly to market conditions. Dan is very fair, honest, and trustworthy. He is also candid about the condition of the property but strives to get the most value possible for the seller out of the sale. He hired a professional photographer which helped with marketing the property and bringing out its best features. We would recommend Dan to our family and friends.”

“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!”
