His patience with me as this was a first for me he was very easy to work and was very good about setting expectations for the process. I would highly recommend working with Gary to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional broker.”
“I appreciate so much how Gladys was available to me personally in completing the online forms and all aspects of our sale. Very professional and helpful. Highly recommend her.”
“Working with Laurice was truly a game-changer in our selling experience. From day one, she brought an unmatched level of professionalism, warmth, and dedication that instantly put me at ease. Laurice took the time to truly understand our needs, preferences, and goals — and she delivered on every front. Her attention to detail and open communication was beyond impressive. She was always available to answer my questions (no matter how small), kept me informed every step of the way, and advocated for our interests with unwavering integrity.”
“Brooklyn served as our agent, and we successfully closed our first home last week. Her assistance was invaluable in understanding our in-house requirements, scheduling appointments, negotiating with the seller’s agents, and obtaining contractors’ estimates. Her unwavering support and proactive approach ensured a seamless and successful transaction. I highly recommend Brooklyn to anyone seeking guidance in real estate matters, whether it’s purchasing a primary residence, investing in property, or any other real estate-related inquiry. She is the ideal resource for all your real estate needs. Looking forward to work with again in near future.”
“We worked with Josh to help us buy our first home. He went above and beyond what I expected from a real estate agent, helping us to understand all the nitty gritty details of the homebuying process while also coaching and supporting us through the emotional ups and downs. Josh is a great negotiator and will go the extra mile to help you get all the information you need to make a decision.”
“Very knowledgeable and hard working realtor. From start to finish, Kevin was on top of everything. Such quick responses and he handled things for me, so I never worried about a thing. Kevin's dedication to his clients is amazing. He assisted with making my dream of becoming a homeowner, a reality! Highly recommend Kevin for all your real estate needs.”
“Great, I felt good about choosing to go with Val, put my trust in her after speaking with her then watched her do what her Magic. Before I knew it, we closed on the sale of our home. Price above what we asked and added a lot of things that let us stay in the house to get things moved. I wouldn't think of seeking anyone else if I'm buying or selling. Her experience is obvious as she maneuvers things and for the sell. The best! ”
“My agent was very professional and followed up with me for about a year to get the listing. He did a great marketing job to get it sold. I had upgraded the property and never once did I have to visit the property to take care of an issue. My agent made sure it sold as is.”
“Chuck was fantastic!!!! He helped me and my wife through all of the "sometimes stressful" process of buying a home. While I never met Chuck in person, he made me feel like he was right there the whole time always getting the info we needed in a very timely way. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to purchase a home. I have bought and sold a few homes in my life, and I feel that I could trust Chuck at all times. ”
“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! ”
“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.”
“Pat was great! Followed through with all her promises and facilitated a good buying experience.”
