We had a great experience working with Tim to purchase our first investment property. Before choosing an agent, we spent time talking with several realtors to find someone who was the right fit for us, and we couldn't be happier that we chose Tim. Buying a triplex was a new experience, and he did an excellent job guiding us through every step of the process. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and never made us feel pressured. Instead, he took the time to understand what we were looking for, offered honest advice, and helped us make informed decisions with confidence. What has impressed us most is that Tim's support didn't end at closing. He continues to check in on our progress, genuinely cares about how our investment is going, and is always willing to share helpful advice and resources long after the transaction was complete. That level of service is rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares about his clients. We truly appreciate everything Tim did to help us find the right property and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property. We look forward to working with him again on future purchases!
If you're looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and patient real estate agent in the Watertown area, I can't recommend Ricky Gates enough. From start to finish, he made the entire home-buying process feel straightforward and stress-free. Ricky was incredibly patient, never rushed us, and took the time to answer every question we had. What really set him apart was his extensive local knowledge. He didn't just show us houses—he explained the different neighborhoods, pointed out the pros and cons of each area, and helped us understand what to look for in a property based on our needs. Throughout the process, we always felt like he had our best interests in mind. His professionalism, honesty, and dedication made a huge difference, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. If you're buying or selling a home in the Watertown, NY area, Ricky Gates is someone you can trust. We had a fantastic experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent.
We have been coming up to the FLX area for over 7 years. The local feel and community really set it apart. A local business in Penn Yan recommended Austin and it was meant to be. We really did not know what we wanted until we started talking with Austin. He really did an amazing job setting expectations and always was willing to help in tight time frames when we couldn't make it up to look at something. After a couple near misses we had a great opportunity this Spring and being out of state he was such a reliable communicator. So happy to him and his team!
After 50 years in my home, moving invoked many mixed feelings. Emily was intuitive to my feelings and very responsive to my needs. In a few short weeks she was able to find just what I was looking for. She was always available for any questions I had no matter day or time. She made me feel that my concerns were important to her as I’m sure she does for all her clients- this an indeed a very special talent! I am forever grateful for her care and attention.
From the very start of our house hunting experience, my husband and I were blown away by Mary's expertise, honesty, professionalism, and patience. She has not only looked out for our best interests throughout the entire home buying process, but has been an incredible communicator, negotiator, and trustworthy person. We are incredibly grateful for the amount of time and energy Mary took in making sure that we found the perfect home for our growing family. Mary always made herself available for spur of the moment decisions to check out homes and continuous conversations about our concerns and questions. We are thankful to have had such a wonderful realtor (and now friend) to help us secure our first home!!
Working with Tim was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the selling process. His understanding of the local market helped us price the home appropriately, attract strong interest, and achieve a successful sale. What stood out most was his communication and professionalism. He kept us informed every step of the way, was proactive in addressing issues, and consistently advocated for our best interests during negotiations. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His expertise, dedication, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. Five stars all around. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Katelyn is a wonderful Realtor overall, I wouldn't hesitate going forward, but if you still have doubt, read along! 1. INTEGRITY - Katelyn prioritized my wife's and my interests above anything else and worked non-stop to accommodate our needs over money or the hopes of a sale. 2. EXPERIENCE - Katelyn was very obviously the most experienced agent in our entire sale, often taking the time to help the buying side as well with guidance. 3. COMMUNICATION SKILLS - Never feel short or delayed communication, never left feeling like we were yearning for a response. Extremely attentive and thorough! 4. MARKET KNOWLEDGE - Knew our market up and down, was spot on every step of the way. 5. NEGOTIATION SKILLS - Got us the best offer possible. Even with some buyer shenanigans attempted right near the finish line Katleyn stayed on our side and strong. 6. AVAILABILITY - Katelyn went above an beyond. Was always available whenever we had random questions along the way and with multiple feet of snow arriving right before the viewings / open house was all over it to help out and make sure the house was accessible. Thank you Katelyn for all of your help, if we find our way back in the area you will surely have forever clients!

Michael is simply the best!! He is very thorough. He doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to answering any questions, setting up viewing times, retrieving requested information, or giving suggestions on where to put a couch! He made our home buying process quick and painless! Will definitely be using him again if needed in the future.
