“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”
