“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 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.
