Cynthia Harris

About Cynthia

My husband and I are happy to have called Prior Lake our home for the past 39 years. We built our home and raised our family here. I know the area very well. We have a strong ties to the community. I am loyal and committed and will offer the same loyalty and commitment to my buyers and sellers. Prior to becoming a real estate agent, I was a clinical pharmacist for 34 years. In my role as a pharmacist, I gained the communication, computer, and organizational skills necessary to be successful in my profession. Pharmacists are often rated as the most honest professionals in surveys by various organizations. Honesty and integrity are very important values to me. These skills and values will carry over into being a successful real estate agent. Over the past six years I have helped my sons with their living situations by purchasing properties for them to live in and rent to their friends. I did many DIY projects with these properties, painting and installing new floors. Other projects I hired out, windows and roofs. I have had three successful sales of these properties over this time. This is what sparked my interest in becoming a real estate agent. Purchasing a home is one of, if not, the largest financial decisions that people will make in their lifetime. A decision to be taken seriously. As your realtor I will be looking out for your best interests. I would be honored if you allow me to help you find your perfect home.

Bruce Hudoba was referred to us by a mutual friend and we couldn't have enjoyed the process more. Bruce helped us purchase our new home as well as sell our previous home and the process was seamless! Bruce has a great feel for the market, especially the current market for our previous home. He made me appreciate the work realtors do in order to help purchase and sell a home. I would recommend Bruce to anyone.

Chris Rooney and his team were impressive from start to finish. Chris took time with us a year before we put our house on the market. We never felt rushed or that he didn't have the time. His experience and expertise is second to none and it showed with our process and the final result. Chris and his team helped us strategize what we needed to do with our house and got it on the market with ease. In 3 days we had 38 offers on our home and sold it within that time frame as well. I cannot say enough about the entire team. Karin, Stacy, and everyone else on their team deserve credit too. Hands down, some of the best service we have ever experienced in our life. I cannot state how vital Chris and his team were to a really smooth and easy process. They were phenomenal.

Bruce and his behind the scenes wife, Missy...

Bruce and his behind the scenes wife, Missy, are truly a cut above the rest. My repeat business with them speaks for itself. 2 houses sold, 2 houses purchased. In every scenario they continue to prove their exceptionalism. Bruce’s knowledge, experience, foresight and guidance is invaluable. Not only that, his demeanor is relaxed, professional, considerate, and never pushy. I am honestly going to miss our collaboration because I learned an enormous amount and had FUN. I can’t stress enough how important it is to hire a realtor that understands and is on top of this business. He also has first hand involvement with home improvement, repairs, and rental property. Experience can save you from hassles, undue stress, missed opportunities and money! When hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line, this is not a time to gamble with inexperience. Please consider Bruce and his team to ensure your dreams are not only met but exceeded. Mine sure were, each time!

Bruce is a professional and nice agent. He helped me sell my house quickly and smoothly. I would like to share some details of my house sale. In the first visit, Bruce and Missy looked my house carefully and gave us a long list of staging and repairing suggestions. We followed the list and get everything done in two months. It has been proved that these preparing work are necessary and valuable. We got competing offers within one week after listing our house! In addition, the well designed brochure attracted lots of potential buyers coming to see the house. Highly recommended.
