Joe was also very honest with us. Often times, he noticed little imperfections that were not obvious to us. He advised us on offering prices. Joe was the exact type of realtor for us! He was a pleasure to work with!”

“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!”

“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!”

When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”

“I'm extremely thankful to have been connected to my realtor, Sam, using Agent Pronto. You never know with some of these free online services just who they will be connecting you with, and since home buying involves a great deal of money, it is imperative to find the right agent. Sam was exactly who I needed to help me along this journey. She's so immensely helpful, doesn't sugarcoat the facts, and is really your very own personal real estate champion. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with my experience.”

“We had a very quick response from 2 agents. Lisa was first and had a property for us to look at. She learned a lot about us and what we wanted during that first walk through. She quickly found another, more suitable property. We spent lots of time e-mailing and calling and figuring things out. By the time we went to see the current property, she was pretty sure we would like it. I really liked it from the first look but, by the time I saw my "new sewing room" and walked the large yard, I was in love. It gave me a very peaceful feeling and I felt bonded to it, it was the place I needed right now. Things do go fast these days but we spent less than a month on this and Lisa is still there for us.”
Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors
“Brenda Charlson is a terrific realtor. We are moving next Tuesday from Illinois to Iowa and Brenda helped us buy a house VIRTUALLY! She guided and advised us all along the way, set up and conducted virtual tours for us, and even helped us to find local handymen in Iowa so our home will be clean and ready to go when we move in next week. HIGHLY recommended.”
