We just can’t say enough good things about Henry. He treated us so well. He answered any questions we had, gave us great insight- took care of any and every detail. We completely trusted him and he went above and beyond. Henry puts everything into making sure things go smoothly- he knows exactly what to do and how to do it. He has a passion for helping people achieve a dream that they might not even think is possible. He has integrity, respect, and will do what he says. He lead us through the process, step by step, kept us informed and helped with all the big decisions. We are now homeowners because Henry took care of us. We would recommend Henry to everyone- We are so thankful to have found him- Henry is the best!
Our house searching/buying journey began in Summer 2025 by me contacting Lisa, knowing she lived in a different state than me who lives in South Dakota, and asking for her advice on an agency to use in my town. I asked her this information on a late Sunday and by Monday morning she had an agency and a person lined up for me. The communication was impeccable. I could tell that she truly cared so much about helping me have the best experience possible. She went above and beyond her job duty description. The agency and agent that she found were honestly a perfect match for my husband and I. Not only did Lisa find me an agency and an agent, but she came alongside me through the whole searching/buying process. Lisa checked in on me frequently and always asked if there was anything more that I needed. We bought our house in October 2025 and I can tell you that Lisa STILL checks in and ask how things are going. Who does that? Not anyone I know of. I couldn't highly recommend anyone more than Lisa Cole.
Mike was very timely with sharing new listings which led to my ability to buy my new home. He shared it with me the day it was listed and showed it to me the following day. We made an offer that day, and they had already received another offer. Our offer won out, but if he hadn’t shared and showed it so quickly, it would’ve been a missed opportunity. Mike is also very knowledgeable about home builds and points out any deficiencies that he sees. It was a great experience working with Mike!
Henry was very understanding of our needs and wants in a home for our military relocation to South Dakota. He was always willing to get first hand videos and provide feedback when touring homes on our behalf. He made the move from the middle of Alaska to South Dakota a little less stressful in knowing we had a beautiful home to look forward to! Thank you Henry!!
I've worked with a handful of realtors before and Henry is amongst the best. He isn't the kind of person to tell you what you should do, rather he is the person that shows up with solutions and advice. He helped me manage the sale of home in South Dakota where I could not be present, and helped line up and manage a contractor to get the house looking presentable to get the best price possible. He made everything else about the selling process feel seamless. He will be my go-to person for anything South Dakota in the future.
She helped us get a home when we struggled to, she did everything in her power and it all worked out. Overall she's a very sweet and kind hearted person and we are so grateful to have met her, thank you for everything you do!
Jamie is very professional and knowledgeable in not just real estate, but home ownership. She helped us buy a house sight unseen, and went above and beyond to make sure we saw every corner of all the houses she virtually showed us. Even willing to go back to the same house twice. She was honest and thorough with each showing. She made our stressful move across the country so much easier! We closed on the house the day we drove into town, and had a place to stay that night. Could not have been more seamless. Thank you SO much Jamie!!
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.
Mike was excellent to work with in the journey to obtaining our home! He did a great job listening to what we wanted and when that changed, he was more then willing and capable to pivot and point us in the right direction. He was quick to respond and made the time to look at houses even on short notice. When things got stressful he would lighten the mood with a joke and a positive outlook. We had a hard schedule to work with and Mike was willing to go above and beyond to work with our timelines. I would highly recommend Mike and his team! You won't be disappointed and you will probably laugh all the way to buying your home!
Mike was fantastic! He's very knowledgeable in the real-estate market. Mike also has a background in general contract work which further helped us locate issues as well as desirable features in the homes we toured. He really listened to our wants and needs and helped us find a house that fits our lifestyle. We're so excited to be moved into our new beautiful home, and great full to Mike for his hard work in making this process as seamless as possible.
