“It was not the time economically to try to sell a lake house. Any potential buyers we did get were a lot of work to try to get to a contract. Dennis and Michelle worked hard for us to get through all of that. We are very happy to have sold the home and with all of their efforts and experience.”
“Michele was very helpful and the home buying process was very stress free and pretty easy! Thank you!!”
“I had an amazing experience working with my real estate agent, Jeff. He made the entire process quick and easy from start to finish. Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and guided me through every step with professionalism and patience. His helpfulness and expertise made a stressful process feel effortless. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Barketa is very knowledgeable when it comes to finding vacant properties that are suitable for placing a mobile home on. She also knows contractors specific to getting everything set up ahead of time. Our situation was very unique and had a few hiccups along the way, but Barketa was able to work through them and keep things moving forward. We are very pleased with her performance.”
“Patty was a breath of fresh air from start to finish! As a first time homeowner, I wasn't sure what the process would look like; buying a home seemed daunting and overwhelming. She met these emotions with grace and understanding. Patty was attentive and assuring, creating a sense of comfort. She ensured my needs were met and paid great attention to detail. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me through this process.”
“I moved from Virginia to Indiana and Cheryl was exactly what I needed to make the transition a smooth and comfortable one. She kept me apprised throughout the contract and purchasing process without prompting. This was crucial considering all that I needed to accomplish for my new job and with my family.”
“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.”
“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.”
