Buyer Review • 10 days ago
As a first-time homebuyers, we were a bit overwhelmed going into the process, feeling like there was so much we didn't know. Gabe and Kelly made our experience so much smoother than we ever expected - it was honestly seamless from start to finish. What impressed us most was how responsive they were. Every question we had got a quick, thorough answer. They were also incredibly proactive in their communication, getting ahead of things we didn't know to ask about. We never felt like we were being kept in the dark, and had clear direction the whole time. They clearly know this market inside and out — they helped us understand which neighborhoods / homes balanced our dream lifestyle and budget while giving us realistic expectations every step of the way. By the time we got to closing, we felt genuinely confident rather than stressed. That's a huge thing to say about buying a home (especially our first)! We'd recommend working with them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy in the area.

Our transaction was beyond complicated and the knight team thoroughly thought through the process and guided us with intelligence and grace. There were many moving parts that needed to be addressed at many given moments that had to be handled quickly and with precision. The team was essential in guiding us to make the proper decisions.

The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyze submission data and behavioral patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.

All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility.
