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.
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! It was truly a great experience. If we ever decide to move again we will definitely be reaching out to him!!
Chris was extremely committed to understanding what our family needed to make this investment. He went above and beyond to ensure communication and scheduling was quick especially in the hot... read more market we were buying in. Great communicator throughout and after the sale even when questions came up. I highly recommend him for any real-estate needs.
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.
Are looking for someone who knows the area, understands the market, offers great sound advice, and is on top of everything that is going on during the entire process of... read more buying a home? Maggie is the person you want to work with! Very friendly and easy to work with, we would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone who is looking to buy a home.
Maggie is very knowledgeable about real estate, knows the local market well and is committed to her clients. She responded to our needs and helped us get exactly the... read more home we wanted at the price we could afford! I would highly recommend her!
He is very helpful and always there to assist, I had very good experience with him buying my first home, he did awesome job on finding what types of home... read more I was looking for. Over all I’m very satisfied with his service.
Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable about the real estate in the area. He promptly responded to phone calls and text messages and was available to show homes at our... read more convenience. He made home shopping a pleasure.
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!
We want to thank you so much for making our first home buying experience absolutely incredible! 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. We really appreciate how you checked out and videotaped every house we were interested in viewing. The guidance and insight that you provided exceeded our expectations. You even met with our parents to view the house when we were not able to view it prior to putting an offer in. We will recommend you to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a house in the Charlottesville area. We felt incredibly invited into the Lake Monticello community while working with you. Thank you again for making the process of buying a home enjoyable and smooth!
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.
We moved out of state and didn’t have to worry about a thing because Maggie took care of everything for us. The process simply couldn’t have been easier! She made... read more sure our house was at its most beautiful for the showings, she marketed the house wonderfully and we got multiple offers within just a couple of days. All of the negotiating, paperwork, and navigating of regulations was as simple as possible because this realtor knows her stuff. We are so pleased, and highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs because she is ethical, hard-working, and simply a wonderful person to get to work with.
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!
We needed to sell my father's house in Lake Monticello, but knew nothing about the local market. Maggie was referred to us by a neighbor, and we couldn't have been... read more happier. She helped us size up the amount of work to be done, estimate the selling price under a range of scenarios, and make an informed decision. If I have a need for a future real estate transaction in the area she is the first person I will call.
Maggie has been not only an AMAZING realtor for my entire family but a huge support throughout the purchasing AND selling process. She is so personable, responsive, knowledgeable, and a... read more great advocate for people that need it in this market. She has been extremely flexible and always went above and beyond to meet my family’s needs. We have used her for the sale of two different homes and for the purchase of one. I cannot thank Maggie enough for all that she has done and how amazing she has been throughout this whole process. I will forever use and recommend Maggie as a realtor. Thank you again!
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.
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.
Sincerely,
Esther Burch
