Home Smart, specifically Michelle Farnell, is a very questionable company…read more On August 19, 2025 during a home inspection of my property Michelle Farnell (the buyers agent) decided to go through my personal papers to find my HVAC company. Because the air would not go below °79 degrees she called my company, Rescue One. She claimed that she was my property manager, gave them her email and said that it was an emergency. At the time I was in the middle of a Dr. appointment. This caused a series of events that cost me additional money to replace a minor valve. Confidentiality and ethics were breached and though no law was broken ( I don't think so anyhow) I would stay away from this company and this especially this agent.

Do not work with Joan Valentine, she is a scammer! We were going to rent a property from her and…read moreshe was so pushy about getting the deposit asap and making us sign the lease the day off. We weren't going to move in until August so I'm not sure what the urgency to sign the lease that day was. I called her and said I will not sign the lease and she was extremely rude to me and my bf, saying we don't meet the qualifications and that her daughter said she shouldn't rent to us. I asked her why she sent us the lease and approved us for the home if she didn't want to rent to us. Then she told us someone else gave the deposit and they are taking the house. She didn't tell us any of this, she was waiting for us to send the money so she could pocket it and give the house to someone else. And now the house is still on the market. Joan is a liar, a scammer, and I'm so happy we did not trust her!

Michael was quick to meet us initially, and then was quick to meet, text, call, plan open houses, schedule the photographer, (and the list goes on).

Kim and Dave sold my house in Scottsdale, near Fountain Hills in December of 2020. This is my…read morehonest, truthful review. Kim and Dave are the two finest real estate professionals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with in 58 years of living. They are simply amazing. I've sold 7 homes in my lifetime and over the years have been consistently disappointed in the agents I have hired. Most of them only cared about the commission and seemed to have a genuine dislike for everyone involved in the transaction. Not, so with Kim and Dave. They really are different than the run of the mill agent. They never gave up and just kept working hard for me, looking for that one buyer that would appreciate what our home had to offer. I really felt like I was Kim and Daves only client, even though you can see by their reviews, they have so many it's hard to count. Their skill level is a 10 (Kim knows the fine details inside out) ... their ability to understand their clients needs is a 10 ... attention to detail is a 10 (Kim and Dave did not make a single mistake or error) and negotiating skills a 10 (best negotiating team ever). And fair negotiators ... making sure both sides got what they want and needed. I think that's important, because if you take short cuts and don't make sure everyone is happy, your deal is prone to collapse at the worst possible moment. I would never even consider using another agent or team of agents. If I moved to the Alaska, I would ask Kim to get licensed there so she could handle the transaction for me. The highest recommendation possible. There is no way you would be disappointed with Kim and Dave. The only reason someone in Scottsdale would hire someone else is that they weren't lucky enough to read all these truthful reviews.
