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. I was most impressed with her responsiveness to text/email and negotiation skills. 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.
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

Could not recommend a sweeter, more thoughtful person to work with!

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 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.
We were so lucky to have Maggie taking care of selling our home. We had to relocate during the pandemic. She took the lead and ensured that everything from watching... read more the prices to helping rectify things found in the inspection was covered and resolved in a timely manner. She provided thoughtful and helpful updates. She took care of everything and we could not have done it without her. She also got us a great price!
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.
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.
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.
He helped me when needed. Very professional and always communicated when I needed him too. He is always for his clients. I lost my husband last year... read more and it was hard for me to do all of the work on my house and Chris helped me and showed me what I need to do to get my house ready to put on the market.
Thank You Chris.
