“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”

“Karyn was amazing from the first contact. She was recommended by a close family friend, so I knew that I could rely on her. But the experience was even better that anticipated. She priced the house optimally to sell. Once an offer was received, Karyn took a reasonable approach to making a counter offer. She works in the best interest of the client. Karyn is maybe too accessible; some of my calls should hae gone to voice mail instead of her answering the phone. I have recommended Karyn to friends and family, and will continue to do so.”

From her marketing, to her overall knowledge of buying and selling, Cathy was on top of everything. I'm so thankful and grateful to have had her on this journey, by our side.

“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!”
