“Lindsay Summa was incredible to work with. We brought her on to help with our new build house and she was able to help us get the clarity we needed on our contract. Our builder took 3x as long as originally estimated and Lindsay was there to help us every step of the way and be our advocate. I appreciated how Lindsay was always up front and easy to reach throughout a stressful building process. Her knowledge also helped us while going through final walk throughs to not miss anything important. Thanks for being the best Lindsay!”

“Gurdeep was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and walked us step by step through the homebuying process, which we truly appreciated as first-time homebuyers. She catered to our needs and expectations in finding the right home for us. After moving in she was also willing to assist us with a issue that popped up. I would definitely recommend Gurdeep to my friends and use her services again in the future.”

“Judy was a life saver! She helped me have confidence in the process and was a proactive, knowledgeable problem solver. I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to any family and friends.”

“Wow.. where do I begin. I'm not one to leave reviews but I know someone somewhere might need as this type of service could make or break someone if they don't find the right realtor. Kim is simply awesome. If you need a real negotiator, you got Kim. Kim's attention to detail, communication, and dedication is impeccable. I trusted Kim throughout the entire process and at the end I now consider Kim as family. We hit a snag in process with the appraisal and Kim was immediately on it, reaching out to anyone possible late into the night. Within a few days, we were good to go, Kim has a trusted team and they're all genuinely helpful and go above and beyond. There's no doubt in my mind who is leading me through the next purchase. Kim sells and will get it done right!”

“Boris was fantastic from start to finish of my purchase. He offered consistent and realistic advice, helped me narrow down my area and other criteria and, crucially, was there when I needed guidance and support at a critical stage of negotiations. Without Boris's experience and tenacity I would have felt completely at sea. I would absolutely recommend Boris to anyone considering a sale or purchase in the area; his expertise is second to none.”

“Amy was a God-sent for us! At a time when the market was extremely unpredictable and slow, Amy from the beginning to end went above and beyond to keep us abreast of our options and strategies to keep us in the best position to sell. Amy's people approach and awareness of the need for constant and effective communication is a lost art today. Not only would we use Amy again, but would recommend her as our first choice to anyone looking to but or sell their home.”

The entire process from our initial interest in selling, to taking professional photos, listing it timely, getting the house under contract and even being with us on closing day was more than we could ask for. She made the process enjoyable and smooth. Truly a great experience with a wonderful agent. Thank you”

“Carla was referred to us from a neighborhood friend and we could not have been more IMPRESSED with her! We had other choices in selecting an agent but none had the same level of professionalism, market knowledge & attention to detail as Carla. She was strategic in her marketing and price position which resulting in mutiple offers & no contingencies in a summer market that had definitely slowed. We sold above the asking price in 4 days! She is Our forever realtor and we will definitely be referring her to others! Thank you Carla for a job well done! You are the BEST!”
