“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.”

“Kim has been wonderful with our family and helped sell our home quickly. The process went smoothly and would recommend her to anyone in need. Thank you so much for all you have done for us.”
“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!”

“Larry was more than a Real Estate Agent. He was more like a Family Friend. I am truly blessed and grateful to have worked with him. My home is everything I imagined it would be.”
“Kathy was able to get my house on the market in a day, and sold in 4! I was on the private and right when I hit the MLS it sold. Very impressed with the quick turn around. Kathy also introduced me to the private network which I was able to find my future home from! This is something not all realtors have been sharing so that was a nice feature that I enjoyed! Kathy made sure this transaction went smoothly and got involved when needed. My sale got pushed back a few days and Kathy sent hours on the phone making sure this deal was going to go through. Very impressed with her hard-work and dedication she provides her clients. She really cares about you and wants you to be happy along the way!”

There were some issues with the house after the inspection that she addressed which allowed us to get a credit toward getting it fixed! I would highly recommend Donna to anyone, She is personable, kind, and so genuine. She’s amazing at what she does!! Thank you for helping us get the house of our dreams.”
