Home buyers and sellers love Agent Pronto.
Here’s what some of the 400,000+ home buyers and sellers have had to say about our service.
“Working with Allison was wonderful. I would recommend.”
“I was looking for an agent to help me with buying a home in the state of North Carolina. I don't live there so I wanted to get a recommendation. I found Agent Pronto online and filled out some information and shortly after got a call from a realtor in North Carolina. Erica (the realtor) was great to work with and I recently closed on a home I wanted. Everything went smooth as possible!”
“Very easy to contact and quick to return my call. This experience was great. I will recommend Agent Pronto to family and friends.”
“I had a great experience with Ms. Tiffany Jones. She was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions regarding the sale. Because I was in another state, she was able to coordinate actions (repairs and upgrades) for me. I highly recommend Tiffany Jones for any future sale or project. This was truly a 5* experience.”
“Helpful and really caring about who they assign to you based on your needs and what you're looking for.”
“Our experience was great. Judy was very informative and very pleasant to work with. Any questions that we had she was able to assist us with. If we had to sell or purchase another home again in that area we would definitely choose her.”
“I was totally at a loss on how to select an agent to sell my house. Agent Pronto gave me three choices, and the one I selected was excellent.”
“We were seeking an experienced, area knowledgeable agent for locating a home for relocation. Agent Pronto matched us with Valerie Sullivan, the perfect agent who got the job done by listening, understanding, and acting on our wish list. Thank you for this service!”
“I was having sleepless nights about selling my house. I reached out at 2am for support and immediately got feedback via text! I put my complete trust in the agent suggested. Sharon Maney was thorough, understanding and conscientious of my time and emotional state of disconnecting from the home I had raised my children in. We went on the market and under contract in 10 days! Needless to say, I really wasn't ready to move so quickly, but we had to and I don't regret a thing! There were bumps in the road but Sharon rode them out with me; I'm so grateful for the free service offered by Agent Pronto.”
“Great experience. Found both our buying agent and selling agent through Agent Pronto. We were impressed with both agents and had great success.”
