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.”
“The referral of Mike Frank was the best decision we made! Mike Frank is detailed, thorough, responsive and a joy to work with. He went above and beyond to deliver us the kind of customer service we could only have hoped and imagined. Results and not excuses! Thank you for this referral!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Judy did the best she could during the pandemic. We were very pleased with her services.”
“I got two calls within 30 minutes. I called the the first caller which was Georgeann. She was great to work with. Extremely responsive with very good communication, (email, text, or phone call.) My home was closed less than 2 months when I selected her as my agent. Very positive experience.”
