“Geeta Manek was great! I had a pleasant home buying experience.”
“My agent was Lucy Phelan at Keller Williams, and I had a great experience working with both Lucy and her brother Richard. Both had provided me with their expert advice, they would take extra steps to educate you and walk you thru the home shopping process. They would work on my schedule, try their best to answer all my questions and would point me to the right direction when I was looking for the lender, inspector, lawyer, etc. As a home buyer in this "Bidding War" market, most of my offers were turned down; however, both Lucy and Rich have continuously provided me encouragement to keep trying and looking. I cannot remember how many houses we have looked together...and when I was not able to look at the houses in person, they would video call me to conduct a virtual home showing. In general, they are exceptionally good with people skill, nice/friendly people to talk with and they show care on other things then just home buying. I would like to work with them again in the future and would recommend them to any home buyer/seller.”

We were all very satisfied with Audra’s services, with a fast sale at a better than expected price. We can recommend her without reservation.”
