We’ve been working with Henry for a few years now and we’ve finally sealed the deal. He was patient, upfront, honest always communicated promptly, and an all around good person! We trusted him completely and would refer him to anyone!
Henry called me back nearly right away, was at least in touch the same day in some way. He would get videos for me the same day as my interests. He kept me well informed on the market and his team made the process easy. We would have liked more livability information to see if we were compatible with the home choices available and guidance as we were new to the area from another state. That being said I would certainly recommend Henry and his team if you want professionalism and thoroughness.
Easy to communicate with and very quick to respond! Every question we had he would answer! Knowledgeable, professional, approachable, and friendly!
Emily worked so well with us in finding a great vacation home in the Black Hills/Lead area. She was quick to answer questions, provided insight and details and understood our aim. We spent one beautiful snowy day trekking through the Hills to look at the homes she scheduled for us, she pivoted perfectly as we refined our scope midday and we found the right one! Emily was patient in the negotiation process, gave numerous quality referrals for contractors/management/insurance and her attention to detail ensured a smooth and timely path to closing. Highly recommend Emily and will definitely partner with her for any future real estate needs.
Very helpful and attentive to all my requests. I know he worked hard to get my house sold.
Mike helped us complete the sale of our home while living out of state. We had a lot of unique challenges given my husband and I were also in separate locations throughout most of the process. Mike handled all the leg work and got our home sold in record time. He had exceptional communication and brought forth much wisdom during negotiations. Highly recommend!
Roy was quick to respond to messages, understood our reasoning for looking and was able to arrange showings quickly while also adding his expertise to help us close a deal.
Henry has been photographing our family since 2020, and as he transitioned into real estate we knew we wanted to sell our house through him as well. He has been able to capture some important milestones for us already, so why not another one! Working full-time with two kids and multiple trainings outside of the state, this is the busiest time in our lives. But thanks to Henry we did not have to think twice about the house admits all the other chaos. Plus, selling a modular home has its challenges, but he made the process super smooth and kept everything moving on schedule to ensure we’d be able to close on time with no delays (IYKYK). He ensured constant communication for both my husband and I, ensuring we were receiving the same information. Heck, he even answered our questions right away while he was on vacation - talk about dedication! Leaving the Black Hills hasn’t quite hit us yet, but having a house on the market while living abroad was something we wanted to avoid if at all possible. He guided us through the best timeline based on the current market and brought the market sells to us in guiding us through best renovations to consider before listing. As any big life event, there are hiccups, misunderstandings, and unexpected events but through it all I’m glad to say we had a friend along the way. If you’re looking to move or leave the Black Hills, Henry if the guy to know!

Your expertise and understanding have made this a smooth transaction, even if I wasn't so sure about buying this place. Thank you for your guidance and support. Again thank you for the cookies and the cutting board.
