I've known Roy for a few years now, going back to his photography days. He is very talented and creative with photography, but I feel real-estate is his true calling. When we decided to list our home, the market wasn't the greatest, but Roy knew we could make it work. He communicated with us after every showing and talked through what needed improvement. In the end, we sold our house and Roy made the process easy and seamless. I cannot recommend him enough to handle any and all real estate needs.

I can’t say enough good things about Roy. He went above and beyond to help me sell my property. Before working with him, I had my home listed with three other realtors in Rapid City. They had very few showings—or none at all—and were unable to get it sold. Roy came in, priced the home realistically based on its value, and was honest with me from the start. He always told me exactly what I needed to hear, not just what I wanted to hear. He was available to answer my questions at all hours and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Even while he was out of the country, he made sure I was taken care of and that everything continued moving forward smoothly. I only wish I had found him sooner. If you’re looking for a realtor who will be with you every step of the way, fight for your best interests, and work tirelessly to get results, Roy is your guy.

Henry dispalyed impressive knowledge of the real estate business in general and the Black Hills market in particular. He has an assertive and proactive, yet diplomatic personal style, a ready-to-use network of relevant support businesses, and very impressive business sense. His personal customer service was excellent. As with most home sales, we ran into some snags along the way. Specifically we had a radon problem, some buyer financing glitches, and a home damage issue that arose at the last minute. Henry has a network of troubleshooters that he put into gear immediately, and solved our problems very quickly with minimum fuss at reasonable prices. I never had to wait more than a minute or two for Henry to respond to a text or phone call. All buyers and sellers would benfit from Henry's impressive array of talents, but those selling or buying homes on the high end of the price spectrum, where transactions tend to be more complicated, would especially benefit from his expertise, assertiveness, network of contacts, and superb business sense. We enthusiastically recommend Henry without reservation.

My husband and I had been keeping an eye on the housing market for about a year before we decided we were ready to seriously start shopping. We reached out to Michael and he was quick to respond to our request. At every house we toured, Michael helped us examine the behind the scenes workings to discover any red flags. Because Michael has a lot of personal experience in various aspects of construction and renovation, he was able to offer us advice on what would be possible at each home to make it what we wanted to. Additionally, Michael was super flexible in his tour times. My husband and I work opposite shifts so the overlap in times available to tour are few. Michael was willing to work around our schedules, even being willing to show us the same house but at different times. When it came to paperwork and legalities, Michael always double checked our level of understanding to be certain that we understood what each step in the house hunting process meant. Overall, having Michael as our realtor felt not like having a salesman by our side but a knowledgeable uncle who truly cared about us.

As a first time homebuyer, it was intimidating to say the least to enter a somewhat difficult housing market. Michael made the entire experience seamless and stress free. His availability was remarkable; He worked around our schedule to get tours set up, answered texts and emails promptly and professionally, and gave us tips for things to look for or be concerned about on various properties. Once we decided to buy a house, Michael offered several points of advice on how to approach potential challenges down the road. Overall, Michael was exceptionally responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and flexible throughout the entire process which made this first time home buying experience a breeze.
2720 Wisconsin Avenue Rapid City
Mike was phenomenal to coordinate all repairs he suggested to the house before putting it up for sale. He went the extra mile to make sure everything was done quickly and correctly. Ascend and his team are the best realtor company I have ever worked with. I highly recommend Mike for selling or purchasing a property. He is a very down to earth person and will do what is required for to buy or sell your property.

Ashley was highly recommended by my daughter and her husband based on their experience with her as their realtor when they recently purchased a house. From the first call and meeting, Ashley immediately impressed me with her organization and passion for helping individuals find the right fit in a house/property. She was unfailingly generous with her time and talents (which are many). The team she recommended (mortgage lender, insurance agent, and house inspector) was equally professional and timely with all communication. Since the sale, Ashley continues to be a support and resource. Over the years, I have worked with different realtors as I purchased and sold a total of nine houses in seven different states; she at the very top of the list of realtors with whom I have worked. Ashley has my highest recommendation, without a single reservation.
452 Yelner Drive Box Elder
We are so thankful that we found Ashley! Her communication, keen eye, fun personality, and professionalism are unmatched! She was available for every question we had, whenever we needed her! She kept up with monitoring our new build and made sure to send pictures when she could to keep us up to date! She made the process more fun and made our family feel special! We couldn’t have asked for someone better to represent our family during our home buying process!

Megan was a delight to work with. She helped us with our military move to the area and helped us with everything we needed. Really kept our stress levels down and ensured a smooth transition for our family. I definitely recommend her when you're moving into the area! Super grateful for the transparency, having her assist in handling any issues we may have had, and keeping us on track when we settled in.

Megan was amazing helping me to sell my rental home. She coordinated with my previous rental company, helped prepare my home for listing, and assisted us with all basic maintenance IN ADDITION to all normal realtor assistance. Her above and beyond assistance was appreciated and I highly recommend working with her!
