Maggie was amazing. We always seemed to be on the same page and she understood exactly what we wanted in a house (country living but still close to work).... read more She showed us around 5 houses and talked numerous times about others as potential.

Even in a sellers market we were able to get our dream home, under appraised value and with all repairs requested taken care of. What more could really ask for? I was always told that I play hard ball when house buying (this is my 4th home purchase) but she fought harder than I do and ended up getting more than we had in mind. In the end was the best realtor I've dealt with.

I am extremely grateful and thankful that I was introduced to my realtor, Christy.

She made my home buying process flawless in a market that was so competitive.

My husband and I bought our first house this past fall. We had the pleasure to work with John Fornecker. We had such a great experience with him. He was... read more friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. As this was our first home buying experience we were expecting this process to be a little intimidating and long but with John's help we were able to close on our house in a month with no hiccups!

Maggie is very... read more knowledgeable and was sensitive to our needs and wants. She always responded promptly to our questions and concerns. Our home sold in three weeks.

John tactfully negotiatiated a deal for us that saved us thousands. The purchasing process dragged on longer than anticipated due to legal issues on the seller's end but John kept... read more us posted and always answered our questions promptly.
I believe I was the first client that Chris had served as a realtor. Despite that, he had a very good grasp of things and a great personality. I had... read more very little to spend on a new home, and no prospects were available in my price range. In addition, I was on a short deadline to find a house. Practically speaking this was a near impossible situation, and I needed a miracle. Through it all, Chris was very willing to go anywhere to show properties and he maintained a highly positive attitude. I had a strong sense that something good was coming which was based on my faith rather than practicality, and Chris didn't balk at that but was with me all the way through it. Then one Saturday, with about 2 weeks left, we viewed a home that didn't pan out, and I had no other prospects. At that point Chris remembered driving by a house that was for sale by owner and offered to show me where it was, even though technically that could have cut him out of the transaction. We drove there and found that it was in my price range and in great shape, unlike anything else we had seen over the few months of looking. I made an offer which was accepted. In gratitude for Chris going the extra mile, I chose to keep him involved. I'm so glad I did, because he walked me through all the many technical details, which I would have been clueless about on my own--he was well worth every penny! Buying a home is complex and stressful, and today's market is especially challenging. Throughout the whole process, Chris stayed positive and put my needs ahead of his own. He's the kind of guy you want in your corner.
John Fornecker is the best realtor I have worked with. This was our first home and John really made an effort to go through every detail with us. He was... read more extremely patient and if we weren't able to see a property he would take the time and make a detail video for us. Not only is he very versed in the entire buying process, but he is a contractor as well. This is a HUGE benefit and very rare to find in a realtor. He is able to point out areas of concern and advocate for the purchaser. If you're looking for realtor who is incredibly nice, trustworthy and knowledgable John Fornecker is who you are looking for. You won't have the added stress of wondering if your realtor is looking out for your best interest with him, he will be honest and steer you in the right direction!
