“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with, along with being professional and educated on all aspects of the transaction. She was able to provide insight into the market and reacted to the situation. Plus we had lots of fun working together!”
“John was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. He always explained everything and took the time to make sure we understood and no matter how many questions we had he always answered them. We were looking for a lake home and we appreciated his expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.”
“Rochelle helped us through a very challenging sale (co-owners) with professionalism and grace. She transitioned seamlessly between realtor, referee, and psychologist doing whatever it took to overcome challenges and keep the process moving. We sold quickly and for our asking price. I highly recommend Rochelle and Century 21.”
“Michele was so amazing to work with. We were looking for a long time to find our perfect house. She was always easy to get into contact no matter what. We would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell! We loved working with her!”
“She was very knowledgeable, helpful and communication was fantastic.”
“Noah provided excellent pictures/media/decsriptions. He was very strategic in marketing my house and I was able to receive more than my asking price. Noah was very responsive and reassuring throughout the whole process. Highly, Highly Recommended!”
“Nielson did what they said they would do and they did it well.”
“Roger knocked it out of the park. He helped us on our long road and took the time and did his absolute best for us at every showing and all the dumb questions we had for him. We really appreciate all his time and effort and would highly recommend him to anyone that's looking for someone that's the best in the industry.”
“I can't even express in words the scope of my gratitude for Heather's knowledge, experience, advocacy, and friendliness. She was always so prompt at getting back to me with answers to questions and scheduling showings. I really appreciated the time she took to allow me to find just what I was looking for. When I found just the right house, Heather worked really hard advocating on my behalf and it was noticed. Now I have my first home and it's a dream come true!”
“I had an exceptional experience working with my real estate agent in selling my house in Plymouth, Minnesota. He provided invaluable advice on repairs, staging, and pricing, ensuring that every aspect of the sale was optimized. He even took the time to show me comparable properties, helping me determine the best listing price. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I’m taking the time to leave reviews on multiple websites. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.”
“Shari was wonderful to work with. We have known each other for years but never worked together in this capacity. It is very obvious how much she loves her job! She was knowledgable and took my needs into consideation throughout the whole process. It was wonderful to work with her!”
“Amy was very helpful and knowledgeable. Everything went well.”
“Excellent Job getting the deal done.”
“All went well. Carly was great and responded immediately to any inquiries.”
“Great job. Skip was great to work with.”
“I expected that selling a home in Willmar MN while living in New Mexico could be difficult. But Samantha Crow at Century 21 made the entire experience quite easy. She provided valuable and welcome assistance by taking care of a number of issues regarding getting the house ready to list. The sale went quickly and Samantha again provided assistance to help the long distance closing go smoothly as well. I would certainly recommend Samantha Crow if you have property to sell and want an experienced, knowledgeable and motivated agent to represent you.”
“Chad Luscomb was very polite, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to sell a home!”
“I was pleasantly surprised when I only had 1 phone call from realtors. My realtor (Jeremy) was amazing. I believe his commitment is what sold the house. He was very fluent in keeping in touch and letting me know what was happening.”
“Of the two realtors that were recommended to me by your company, I was extremely pleased that I went with Kris. She was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. No hard sell approach or any 'gimmicks'!”
“Great experience would use Barry again. All worked out well. Excellent experience.”
