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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Maggie Gunnels Fornecker is our realtor. She represented us in the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. The entire process went smoothly. 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. My husband and I are delighted with Maggie.

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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
Jossef has energy and enthusiasm, has the drive to be an experienced agent. He was extremely helpful when it came to guiding me thru the buying and closing process, which... read more was crucial to me as a first time home buyer.
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.
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.
