“There is no one who can equal Vicki's expertise, commitment, honesty and drive. From before sunrise to midnight, Vicki is present 100%, texts, emails even phone calls answered within minutes. Vicki was assigned to us by the VA in 2015 to find our first home. Ten years later, she sold that house in record time, with closing a month later. She handled everything, even before a signed contract. Her network of lenders, lawyers, contractors and handymen saved us thousands as well as time. There is no one we trust more to handle our real estate transactions. What makes Vicki top in her field is her commitment and continued interaction during the years in between. Cards, drop by visits, homemade fudge during the holidays and donating to our son's fundraisers over the years. She isn't just our realtor, she's part of our family because she genuinely cares about each of us. She will always be a part of our life- a gift without measure.”

Her expertise and confidence made the whole process smooth and stress-free. On top of that, Meldina is fun, energetic, and truly a joy to work with — her positive attitude made every step enjoyable. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who delivers results and keeps things upbeat along the way, I can’t recommend Meldina enough!”
“I have already shared your info with friends! I don't know how you teach and sell real estate, especially with chilren. I know this wasn't easy especially after the first two interested buyers backed out. However, receiving that earnest money helped us out. Thanks for smoothing out the rough spots for us. It was hard since we were under the gun to sell. That was the hardest part”
“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.”
“Katie Arensdorf was a delight. She was knowledgeable, caring and attentive. Katie immediately researched our property and appropriate comparable homes. Her recommendations were helpful, targeted and well thought out. She was engaged throughout the process and delivered exceptional results.”
“John was very professional and very helpful in answering any questions we had in the sale of our home. Thank you John”
“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!”
“Thank you Tina it was a pleasure working with you”
“Shawn came highly recommend and did not disappoint. He has been on the ball and on my side from begining to end. His local knowledge was invaluable as a buyer moving from out of state and his follow through with vetted vendors for after the purchase smoothed the transition. Shawn Jones is a man of his word and goes above and beyond.”

I am grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent.”
“Cinny helped us sell and buy a condo at the same time and the whole experience was so smooth. From helping us list our place, going to showings with us, and answering all our concerns, I don’t know how she did it all but she was there for us. We were able to do both the selling and buying within 3 months which still amazes me how quick and easy she made this process. She was proactive in finding places and booking showings that work around our schedule. And what I really love is how well she understood what my partner and I were looking for in a home. We ended up buying the place she had suggested for us. Originally this place was not on our radar but she highly recommended us to check it out and we’re so glad we did. We’re so happy with new home and this could not have been done without Cinny!”

“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”
