The Best realtor

Kari was a dream to work with. Very good clear communication. She went above and beyond helping me with getting things straightened out for my somewhat complicated closing. She was always very professional but also down to earth and easy to talk to. I would highly highly recommend Karie!!

Service above and beyond

Andrew and Iris have helped me buy and sell three houses now. They are extremely knowledgeable about the market and have wonderful, trusted partners that they work with. They helped us not only with the purchase and sales but also with scheduling any work that needed to be done. From cleaners, to inspections, to meeting vendors at the properties when we weren't even there. It's tough to find realtors that really, truly care about you finding the perfect home. At this point, they're more like extended family.

Solid skills combined with great communication and compassion.

Kacey was a standout when we interviewed agents. She looked the part of a professional and presented information about today's market and updated strategies for marketing and closing our home sale. Kacey subscribes sellers to Showing Time, whereby we were automatically notified of the date and time of each requested showing, and given feedback from the buyer's agent. That feedback was taken as a learning experience to prepare for future showings. Because we were listing an empty house, Kacey used a photographer who stages the home with AI. The photos do state that AI is used, but she also posted photos of the rooms as empty. The combination of "what is" and "what could be" brought in a lot of potential buyers. In the current buyer's market, it's important to find a great agent. More importantly, with the challenges that this market brings, it's important to sign with an agent who has a great personality, listens as well as talks, and is just overall great to deal with!

Backman's got your back!

Our agent, Karie Backman, was instantly responsive from the first day we signed our agreement. Karie did everything possible to get our home sold. From a very gregarious social media marketing plan to open houses. We were always busy with showings and it was just a matter of time before our house sold. Karie brought us past the finish line in first place Thank you for thinking of us first Karie. There was always open communication and questions answered in a timely manner. Karie helped us make decisions with professional insight, advice and acumen.
