“Katelyn is professional, personable and trustworthy. She had to deal with a very difficult seller's realtor and navigate through several issues. Katelyn never gave up even when the seller's realtor wasn't communicating. Her hard work paid off and even with all the complications we were able to close escrow on time. We highly recommend Katelyn”
“We are thankful to have worked with Tracy Thomas once again. She sold our home in a breif timly fashion. More importantly, she kept us stress free with handling everything in our absence. SHE'S GREAT!!!”
“It was a great pleasure working with you thank you very much!”
“Melissa has been extremely professional and accommodating throughout our cross-country home buying process. As a military family, she was very understanding of our circumstances and more than helpful when navigating through the process and going above and beyond to show us homes virtually.”
“Scott was very attentive to our needs and requests. He was easy to reach and answered any questions we had as soon as possible. His knowledge of local activities and utilities was invaluable. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.”
“This is the second house we buy in Shreveport. We trust Melanie so much she is our only choice to represent us. She goes above and beyond any expectations. Working with Melanie is always a joy knowing that she is working on our best interest. If and when we decide to purchase another house in Shreveport Melanie will be our agent and broker. Anyone would greatly benefit from her expertise and professionalism. Thank you, Melanie. Alex&Alex”
“Agent Pronto got me in touch with Patricia Halley Conaghan. She is, hands down, one of the best real estate agents around. I am in Oregon so it was long distance relationship. The property was no where ready to sell when I first listed. Many e-mails, phone calls, texts, and photos later we were able to get this property ready to sell. She lined up contractors and oversaw the work. It did not take long to sell with some creative financing. I couldn't be happier than I am with Patricia's work and support. She is AWESOME!!”
“Melanie Cook was very responsive and also answer any questions you may ask..She will walk you through every step of the way”
“Very easy to use. The agent selected was Anna Dunn. She was perfect. She was helpful and helped me the entire way.”
“Selecting our realtor, Mr. Joseph Dupard, through Agent Pronto was a blessing. I needed to list some estate property and being out of state made this difficult....Mr. Joseph Dupard was the best decision. Mr. Dupard is very knowledgeable about the area, professional, prompt, provided information to help me make the best decisions, explained information in layman's terms, and was assessable. I highly recommend him because he cares about his clients and their needs. ”
“Jen Burns was the only realtor that reached out to me. She was great to work with. We inherited this house and live out of state. Jen was so helpful and patient with all of our questions. She always answered her phone or texted right back. We highly recommend Jen Burns. She made the process so easy!”
“Gina was very helpful throughout the process of preparing and selling my home. She provided honest and constructive advice and feedback with a great eye for detail. Her experience and knowledge of the current market was very helpful in pricing and negotiating during the initial phases and during offer negotiations. Even during the unknown expectations of the COVID 19 pandemic, Gina was very reassuring yet realistic. I would recommend Gina as a reliable, responsive agent.”
“Scott Delhom took great care of us both with the sale of our old home & the purchase of our new home. Our experience with Scott was so wonderful that I referred my parents to him & he helped them find a new home also. I would highly recommend Scott Delhom for all of anyone’s realtor needs.”
