Kari’s heart and soul is in this. she puts everything into it. her response time is insane! she communicates and explains everything in a way i understand. if she doesn’t know- she’s finding out! she went on her honeymoon to Japan and it was like she never left. she would meet us at 15 properties in blazing heat. before closing we both were either at work or getting ready for work. the lender was short one week of statements he needed to finish closing and she drove from Granite City to Alton speeding down the highway. called Dre’s bank herself! she is amazing. omg she has a guy for everything! our exhaust fan is already up! our ceiling fan is in! she gets it done. she’s a SOLUTIONIST. she doesn’t focus on problems. we LOVE Kari!!!!
very positive experience working with Yevhen during the process of purchasing my property. He was professional, responsive, patient, and always willing to answer my questions and help throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Yevhen to anyone looking for a reliable and professional property buying/ selling agent. Thank you for all your help!
Carol knows the ins and outs of the real estate business . Carol really went above and beyond with getting the house ready to sell. I needed a new air conditioner and she had a person for that. Needed a handyman and she had a person for that. Getting the remaining items out of the house she had a company come and take everything out. The house was only on the market for two months and sold at full asking price. I couldn’t have done it without her expertise and knowledge.
Susan’s response time is incredible. She made sure to give us all the information that we were needing about marketing and details of the house. I especially loved how she was blunt and didn’t hide anything from us. If she thought there was an issue. She would make sure to explain why it was an issue and what we should do to fix it. as a first time homeowner I am very grateful that I went with Susan. She is very professional and follows all guidelines to make sure that her clients are well taken care of.
Kevin's experience in this area is deep. He remembered me and answered my phone call by name, when I had last worked with him ten years ago. He guided my family and me through our first house sale ever (Mom had lived in her house for 66 years). The house was old and a bit of a challenge to deal with, but patience and a lot of showings finally found the right buyer. We can warmly recommend Kevin Burke.
She was wonderful to work with. She had some of the best patience I’ve seen with anyone with all of the problems we had. I would recommend her to everyone looking for a home. She will definitely fight the hard fights. Overall a great experience working with her.
Nothing but great things to say about Cyndi Overcash, she was not only our realtor, but became a friend!! She took her time getting great pics and a better description of our home. Great communication, easy to talk to and she gave us great advice and tips on selling. Thank you so much for representing us!!
He was very supportive during a difficult time selling our mothers home. He kept us informed and updated as necessary and was aware of the local market to support negotiations. I would highly recommend Kevin whether you want to sell or buy a home.
Professional, compassionate, and great in every possible way.
We had a wonderful experience working with Yevhen while purchasing our first home in the United States. He did a great job throughout the entire process and was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive. As first-time homebuyers in the U.S., there were many things that were new and unfamiliar to us, but Yevhen took the time to explain everything clearly and guided us through each step. He was always responsive, professional, and truly had our best interests in mind. We are very grateful for all his help and support in making our first home purchase a smooth and positive experience. We would highly recommend Yevhen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring real estate agent!
