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.
“Fast. Easy. Efficient. Effective. I was very pleased with the realtor that I was referred to. The whole process was quick and effortless.”
“Valerie Hammack is the best! I was an out-of-state buyer, which made the process more complicated in such a competitive market. I was given good real time information including video walk throughs of properties, comps and market analysis that was always excellent. She patiently worked with me, even with my limited familiarity of the various Portland suburbs. I learned quickly that Portland had changed substantially from my memory. Valerie patiently explored the tri-county area with me as I found my likes and dislikes, then settled in with what I could afford. End result, I now own a wonderful single story home in a nice Portland neighborhood, exactly what I has envisioned from the beginning.”
“My overall experience with Agent Pronto was excellent. They connected me with a Realtor who listened to my preferences. My house sold quickly.”
“Agent Pronto has their name for a reason, they got back to me in a matter of minutes. Got me a great real estate agent and my husband and I purchased our first home.”
“The experience was great. The agent you selected was outstanding and ended up selling our house with a full price offer in less than 14 days. He was very professional and right on top of everything.”
“Chris was knowledgeable about the area. He priced the house correctly and it sold for over asking in one day. He was readily available by text at anytime. He promoted the home with lovely pictures and drone coverage. Pleasant to work with.”
“Very happy with listing the sale of my property with Chris Forrette. I appreciated the great customer service my brother and I had with Chris. He was very professional, knew the business, yet was easy to work with!”
“Excellent. Shannon couldn't have been more helpful. She was efficient and professional, was able to receive an acceptable offer within 24hours after listing the home. We sold our home the next day. Best experience my wife and I have ever had throughout the six times we sold homes over the previous 45 years.”
“Five-star quality realtor, Rick Maurmann. I highly recommend him for real estate in the Salem, Oregon area. First-class service, timely support, great results! ”
“Mr. Mitchell Stolfus, my real estate agent, was very very much helpful throughout the whole process. His communication, initiative, and willingness was impeccable. Great to get along with and who allows you to feel comfortable to ask those questions most feel uncomfortable or awkward to ask...I 'HIGHLY' recommend this great man as a recent client to anyone else searching for a home as their real estate agent.”
