Chris was so helpful when I was looking to relocate from out of state. He always made it a priority to show me homes for sale when I was in... read more town for a few days and was even kind enough to meet the inspector at the home I purchased as well as the septic inspector when I wasn't able to be in town. He went above and beyond and it was greatly appreciated!
I can’t rate Chris regarding his negotiation skills as there weren’t any negotiating to do. Chris understood what I was looking for and showed me properties that suited my needs... read more and was honest and forthcoming with his opinion if he felt a particular property did not. He was quite observant as to any potential structural issues. He also took room measurements and did the walk through for me when I was unavailable to do so. I absolutely highly recommend Chris!
Maggie did a simply wonderful job in handling the listing and sale of our home. We were impressed with her enthusiasm for our property from the start and the professionalism... read more she demonstrated in managing all aspects of the listing and sale. As an experienced agent, Maggie's guidance and advice proved invaluable every step of the way, and we greatly appreciated her acute attention to detail and prompt response to our questions and concerns. She has a particularly keen eye for staging and marketing properties, and the professional photographer she engaged captured stunning pictures of our home and property for marketing purposes that we're convinced made all the difference in finding a quick buyer. We couldn't have been happier with the attention and professionalism Maggie provided us and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home quickly and efficiently.
I just cannot say enough about Maggie Gunnels. At times it seemed almost as an unfair advantage having her and her team as our realtor. Her market knowledge and instincts... read more allowed us to sell our home in a week for thousands more than we expected. When it came to finding our new home, she was sweet and patient, but when negotiating with the seller she was sharp and persistent. Maggie was determined to make sure we had the perfect home at the right price. Always quick to respond to questions, or just talk us through a nerve racking experience.
One of the best realtors I've ever worked with. As an active duty military member, I've purchased and sold multiple homes across the United States; I've been fortunate to have... read more solid realtors. For this particular purchase, I bought the house next door and originally intended to work through the title company stuff on my own with the seller. I had Chris get involved as a matter of convenience, and I'm glad I did. Since the property had a couple mobile homes on it and one was recorded as personal property instead of regular real estate, the transaction became much more complicated than any of my prior purchases. Chris did the research to figure out what all my options were several times as different decision points came up. Additionally, I work a few hours away and completed much of the transaction remotely; the complexity of this particular purchase likely would have made it impossible to complete while remote without Chris' assistance.
Bottom Line: Chris knows his trade and can be counted on to go the extra mile.
We recently contracted with Maggie Gunnels of the Gunnels Group to market and sell our home. We are so happy that we chose her to handle our transaction.
We have worked... read more with many real estate agents over the years and Maggie is by far the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with.
She exhibited a tremendous degree of professionalism in handling our transaction. She also seemed to genuinely care for our concerns and questions during the entire procedure. Maggie turned a stressful time into an enjoyable experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend her without any reservations. You will sincerely be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t work with her on your next real estate transaction.
Maggie was by far the best realtor we have worked with. We had been looking for a home for over 2 years and had been through a handful of different... read more realtors in the Charlottesville area--none of which compare to the care and attention we received from Maggie. As first time home buyers, we were excited and nervous about the process. Maggie put us at ease and was with us every step of the way. The best part was she gave us a beautiful housewarming gift at our closing!
Could not recommend a sweeter, more thoughtful person to work with!

Buying a first home in such a difficult market was daunting especially when buying... read more from across the country but you made the process seamless.

My experience with the Gunnel group and Jossef was outstanding. Jossef was very professional. He was quick to respond to any requests i had and once we found the right... read more place to call home he was in constent communication with myself and the seller's agent to make the whole process very smooth. He was able to set up the home inspection, fireplace inspection and even recommend me with all lender to allow me to close in a short amount of time. I couldn't have asked for more as Jossef went above and beyond and i would not hesitate to recommend him to any potential buyer or seller.
Mr. Fornecker is an excellent realtor who advised me all the way through the buying process. From the moment he showed us the property we were interested in purchasing,... read more he showed his expertise in touring the house.
He was knowledgeable and patient, giving us advice as to what to expect once the process of making an offer began. Throughout the weeks we were involved in completing the contract, he assisted me as to where to sign or initial, if necessary. He showed me how to sign electronically, something I had never done.
Mr. Fornecker was very helpful in the inspection of the property, to make sure that the seller would correct what was needed to be sure that the house was ready for closure.
I highly recommend Mr. Fornecker as a very qualified realtor who takes the time to be sure that the buyer is satisfied in purchasing a property.
