“Brandee and her team were responsive in all respects. I appreciate all she did for us.”
“Donnell went beyond expectations. She checked on my property to make sure things were in order. Her husband even helped to fix things on the property. She advised me to take certain actions to bring more views to my property. I am so appreciative for all of her help.”
“I contacted them to help me find a realtor to sell my parents' home. Agent Pronto referred me to Larry Chapman of Drake Chapman Realty. What I thought was going to be a difficult drawn out process was exactly the opposite. Teresa and Larry were so kind and helpful! They answered all of our questions and made the process pain free! I highly recommend Drake Chapman Realty and would absolutely use Agent Pronto again.”
“Jennifer was professional, knowledgeable, and always responded to questions quickly. She attended most showings to ensure the property was secured after the showing. This was important because I moved out of state. Overall a good experience.”
“Lynlea was very knowledgeable, accommodating, always accessible and totally recognized what an important process this was for me. She was respectful and addressed my concerns in a professional manner. I plan to ask for her guidance and support again soon to sell my previous home. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”
“Tammy went the extra mile. An offer had been made on a house we were very interested in and Tammy requested a back-up offer option. That offer was accepted, the previous offer fell through and we now own the property. Had she not taken that extra step, we may not have known about the situation with the first offer.”
“Working with Diane was great, she did an awesome job. This sale would not have happened without her hard work and I was completely satisfied with the service.”
“Working with Bobby was a pleasure—very professional and knowledgeable of the real estate in the area.”
“Agent Pronto had me in touch with two different agents the day I signed up with them. One of the agents, Neil Clements, was aggressive in his approach which we loved, and we were in contact with him the next day. The overall experience was extremely professional, fast, and pleasant. I highly recommend!”
