“Barketa was consistently excellent in marketing my house, in being accessible with quick replies to my questions and concerns. I always felt she was my advocate and had my back during an increasingly challenging market. Many thanks!”
“Michele Burkheimer was great, I feel very fortunate that she was my Realtor. Michele made the process go smoothly, kept me informed, educated me, and "went to bat for me", it was very good communication, she answered all my questions, help me to get things done right and on time, gave me good advices. Michele went above and beyond what, I think would be normally expected. I would certainly ask her to represent me when buying or selling real-estate and will highly recommend her to others.”
“I connected with Cheryl Ploskonka through a website that takes information and passes it on to realtors and house flippers. We weren't sure we would be able to do what it took to prepare for anything but "cash offer." But before I hit send on the website, she called. I explained our situation and she assured me that we could make it work. She went above and beyond, long before the official listing, to enable us to prepare for the sale. She explained everything clearly, used her network of resources to accomplish the things that needed to be done, and communicated clearly through the actual selling process. I couldn't recommend her more highly!”
“I appreciated the helpfelness and work he provided. I was sometimes disappointed in his lack of responsiveness to phone calls and texts. Overall it was a good experience.”
“Dedicated and communicative agent. She worked very hard to get our property sold as timely as possible. We couldn't have asked for anything more and I believe her to be a valuable asset to her Century 21 team. Thank you Patty!”
“I was pleased with how the entire process went working with Dennis and his assistant Michelle. We had our 1st buyer back out due to personal reasons, no fault at all of Dennis's team. But Dennis still had a new buyer inplace almost right away and we closed quickly without any troubles... I will work with Dennis and his team in the future and would highly recommend them also. Brian H.”
“Instant match of agent and a great fit for us! Giselle was very professional and helpful in guiding us every step of the way. She's prompt with responses and incredibly patient with us with our questions, concerns, and requests. Even after the deal has closed, she still took the time to follow up with us to make sure we are properly settled in.”
“Tyler from day 1 was sending us houses almost everyday, Taking us to potential properties, keeping us updated on interest rates and upcoming changes. He was critical in getting us our new home. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home.”
“I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how professional Lisa was and how quickly the property sold. We had a closing within a month of listing.”
“The sale was stress-free and Amber really helped us get things ready.”
“Our agent was very helpful. He kept us informed every step of the way. I never thought the house would sell during the quarantine, but our agent, Barry, was able to sell our house anyway. Made things go very smooth, easy and fast. Was a great experience.”
“Very professional—delivered when and what he promised. Was expert in negotiating with potential buyer's agent when there was a second offer. What he did during negotiations led to a much better sales price. There were no problems and I got more that list price—what more could a person ask for?”
“The Realtor, James Bausch, did a wonderful job. He was always quick to communicate and was very tuned into our needs. We found our home in a short period of time.”
