The thought of finding a new home, when you live out-of-state, creates that “state” of high anxiety. Once you meet Abby, there is that feeling of talking with a friend. There is the professional and knowledgeable side of Abby, but also the personable and confident side. One who is caring and focused on helping you. A very comforting feeling. She has a good understanding of the present-day market. She will spend time questioning the client as to their needs, wants and desires. While our thoughts were of a single home, she injected thought of a duplex. This discussion produced a list of candidates (single and duplex) to visit. She was able to get us into a house (a duplex) the day it went on the market. It was everything we could have imagined as our new home. Abby suggested an inspector and an appraiser that she had worked with on numerous occasions. Both men were very detailed in preparing their reports. She kept me updated and answered questions, sometimes even before they were asked! She fully explained the process and provided a time schedule for the various events. Everything went smoothly from getting loan approval to closing because of the time and effort Abby put in. The offer we made may not have been the highest, but it was written to reflect our desire for the house along with the willingness to work with the seller. It did the trick – we won the bidding war! Our offer was the most favorable to the seller. She definitely knows how to sweeten the deal! I strongly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a great realtor to assist them in today’s housing market.

Very helpful and good

John was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process, including market prep, showings, negotiations, and sale. I’ve worked with John a few times and recommend him.

We had come to Tina a bit worried that despite our best planning, our dream home might have too many asks for our budget. She got started right away and found potential after potential. Tina was patient with the showings that didn't fit, comforting when a few offers didn't pan out, and was optimistic throughout the entire process. While we enjoyed all the support and patience through the process, we quickly realized that the key trait of tina that was invaluable was our ability to trust her. It was clear Tina did not want us to settle, but to find the house we truly knew we would be able to call home. In the end, it is only because of Tina's knowledge of the different sections of Lancaster County, her ability to understand who we were as people, and her strong drive to advocate for us that we have found our dream home. If you want someone who will give their all to make sure you find a home you will love, go with Tina. We know it was one of the best decisions of our lives.

It is indeed my pleasure to send this review. Michael Gutkind is an extraordinary real estate professional in every possible relevant category. It’s interesting to note that he and his son, Jonathan — The Gutkind Group — have made an ongoing and lasting impression for years, long before it became time to sell my home. Their marketing mailings were so effective and informative that I kept several years of them for future reference, “just in case.” And that need recently occurred, with a highly successful sale which closed this past Friday, having been on the market for only 13 days despite the brutal winter weather in early February. Michael is a seasoned professional having the respect and trust of not only me as his client, but other real estate professionals and industry consultants as well. Newtown Township personnel speak of him with high regard, not a small achievement in itself. His firm has worked with many consultants who are often needed during the sale process, and they are able to provide contacts from their past experience. In my case alone, The Gutkind Group provided access to a structural engineer, a clear-out/haul away/ cleaning company, an electrician, a small-job local mover, and a truly remarkable photographer. Michael was my principal contact. We exchanged prompt, easy and effective communication through texts, phone calls and emails as needed, anytime on any day. All of my questions were answered pleasantly and from many years of experience. My suggestions were respected and usually incorporated into what we presented to the public. His suggestions were always “spot on,” and often were things I would not have thought about otherwise. Bottom line: if you’re planning to buy or sell a property in our local area, you would be wise to contact The Gutkind Group, perhaps first. You’ll be favorably impressed and glad you found their expertise.
