“Isaiah was always professional and very fast to respond. He walked me through the process from start to finish and answered any questions I had along the way. He was great to work with, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house.”
“Shane was very personable and stuck with us for over a year and showed us multiple properties. He was very quick to get us in to see for new homes for sale. Shane explained the selling process of our home step by step and kept us updated throughout the selling process. Shane is great to work with and we recommend him to all of our family and friends.”
“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“Kristina Sharp worked hard to make sure I was happy with the property and was with me the whole way since I had not purchased a home before. She made me feel comfortable and went through everything so I could understand the home buying proceedures. I have and will continue to recomend Kristina and a person who cares about the people she is trying to assist when buying a home.”
“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”
“Roger was very responsive to our house selling & buying needs. He also presented to us additional options on other properties to consider besides the ones we found of interest to your.”
“Matt cares deeply about his clients and is as trustworthy as they come. He was a fantastic guide and advisor through our home buying process. We ran into a number of snafus and hiccups but he navigated us through them to secure a good deal. Highly recommend Matt!”
“Enjoyed working with Rich and his team. Our acreage sold quickly and we received multiple offers.”
“Julie really knows how to market a property and obtain a ton of exposure. She was extremely helpful and insightful in selling my house. She also really cares for her clients.”
