It can be a very stressful time when buying a home, and he made our lives easy with his attentiveness, patience, and fun spirit. He is very optimistic and has great attention to detail. If I ever look to buy a home or sell again, he will be my go to guy! Thanks Matt! I appreciate you, always!(:”

“Not only is Jess a wonderful agent to help navigate the unknown act of selling a home, she cared and really wanted the best for you, her client. She was always ready to answer questions and give you, the seller, advice to help the house sell faster at the best price possible. It was very apparent that Jess knows how to correctly sell a house keeping the the seller's best interests in mind. i give her a 5 star rating.”

“We were moving from Rhode Island to South Carolina and he was so helpful and listened to what we were looking for and so patient with us we took a few months but he was always checking in with us and sending photos of houses was so helpful and helped us find our Dream Home thank you Mike Matulis”
“Wadewas very professional and fast”
“Jennifer Burns is very professinal , commumicative, and available on short notice. The best !”
“Cassandra was amazing to work with! We relocated from another state and that in itself is stressful but she made it easy with her detailed video walk-through and constant communication. She's professional, kind and incredibly organized. She even lent us her air mattresses so we could spend our first night in our new home comfortably before our moving truck arrived. Truly above and beyond throughout the entire process! We highly, highly recommend her!”
“Sean is very attentive to your needs, always available answering questions or last minute requests to viewing properties. His knowledge on all subjects pertaining to real estate is impeccable. This was my seventh real estate transaction in 40 years and with my experience with other agents he is by far the most professional and honest agent I have worked with!”
“Buying your first home can be scary, but Todd made the process as easy as I could have ever wished for. He stayed in touch the entire way, and when problems came up, he turned them into learning opportunities for me. I learned so much from the way he broke things down and helped me understand every step. Todd took care of every problem and obstacle we ran into, making the whole experience smooth!”
“It was a pleasure working with Kellie and I look forward to working with her again”
“Gerald Burkett did an excellent job of marketing our property. He is really good at dividing properties into separate parsels to facilitate the overall sale. I would definitely use him again to sell any property.”
“Rosario exceeded my expectations by demonstrating understanding and competency with the process of purchasing a new home. She was able to explain and answer our questions exceptionally.”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing. Not only did she help me during a difficult time, but had all the resources available to help find a home quickly and exactly where I wanted to be. She helped me with every aspect of securing a bridge loan quickly, and finding the perfect place for me within weeks. She walked into my house as a stranger and walked out the same day as a friend. I have never received more support and help from a realtor, it was all about me and my needs, never about her. She was always available to help, explain and answer all my questions, usually within minutes. I dont think I would have gotten through this with out her help. But she made it easy, quick and (almost) painless. She was a total Godsend.”
“Lee Hurst was outstanding throughout the entire process. We ended up buying a house sight unseen, and I don't think we could have done that if we did not trust Lee. From the very beginning, Lee was responsive and communicated in a timely manner with us, and that led to a level of trust. No matter the situation or question that came up, Lee did an outstanding job of putting our minds at ease with answers and communicating our concerns to the Seller. I am not sure if we will ever buy another home, but if we do, I will definitely reach out to Lee again. Coming from Seattle, WA, I am not very networked in Oklahoma, but I would not hesitate to recommending Lee to my family and friends. Brent Biggerstaff”
“Eric Ropp is a top notch real estate agent, that is knowledgeable, and great to work with. I have worked with Eric on prior and current real estate transactions and plan to work with Eric in the future. I highly recommend Eric for any of your real estate needs.”
“I would give Katelyn a million and one stars! She's mastered her skills and knowledge! 4th time working with Katelyn, and all have been exceptional! I recommend 110%💪🫵❤️🙌”
