Moving is always stressful, but they made the process of selling our current home and buying a new one feel seamless. They are incredibly attentive and responsive--no question went unanswered. Their deep knowledge of the Colorado Springs market was evident as they helped us secure our new home at a fair price and sell our existing home at full asking price (which we welcomed their guidance on). If you want a team that is professional, knowledgeable, and truly has your back, look no further!

Andrew and Tonya Nielson from Summit Group are true real estate partners. We recently purchased a…read morehome in Colorado Springs and it was the most pleasant, professional and stress-free experience I've ever had buying a property. Andrew goes above and beyond and stayed along side of us through the entire negotiation and offered help when we needed it without rushing us or talking us into anything that we weren't sure about. You will be in excellent hands with Andrew and Tonya!!

I invest in rental properties in different states and have worked with many real estate agents so I…read moreknow when I find an absolute GEM and that's Jerrod. Let me list the ways that Jerrod is EXCEPTIONAL: - I have a LONG list of criteria for the property I want. Jerrod has several tactics to find what Im looking for. His intelligence, resourcefulness and creativity materially expanded the potential homes he brought me to land at a really special property that I loved. - He treats my money like its his own even though it means more work for him. For example, I was willing to put a little more into the offer but he advises me "I wouldn't pay more than X". Another example, given the circumstances, I was also skeptical we'd get anything on the inspection objection so I wondered if it was worth the effort and he said we should put one in bc you never know, and we ended up getting a couple grand. He saved me at least a few thousand over the course of the entire process. - He property manages himself so he has a great network of contractors and he has a good idea of what things cost. Very helpful in figuring out how to negotiate after an inspection is done. Both during the after the purchase, Jerrod got several handyman in to quote and fix things. - Jerrod goes above and beyond: I thought the 3rd party inspector could have done a better job inspecting the foundation. I expressed my concern and Jerrod offered to jump into the crawl space himself. He found hairline fractures in the foundation and traced them above ground to figure out the source and recommended a mitigation tactic which he then implemented by himself. UM.. Who does that?! WOW WOW WOW I have worked with 20+ real estate agents and Jerrod is the #1 in my mind. If he covered other states, I'd use him for all my real estate needs.

You know when you run into a service or business that you just want to tell all of your friends and…read morefamily about because it was THAT outstanding? That's how working with Derek is. I swear I've tried to convince my friends to sell their house just so they could work with him. My wife and I were house hunting in Co Springs, but from Oregon and right in the middle of Covid blowing up. We were just in town for the weekend and Derek spent 2 days with us not only showing us different houses that might appeal to us, but certain neighborhoods we should look at based on our growing family. He really took the time to find out exactly what we wanted instead of just showing us a bunch of houses with x bedrooms and x square feet. Not only did Derek go the extra mile on multiple occasions, but when we were shopping from back in Oregon, he did a video tour of a house we thought we'd love. He could have made a quick sale and let the pictures shine, but instead pointed out all the things we wouldn't like about the house and let us know we should wait because he thought we'd find something that was a better fit for us. When we did find the perfect house in a VERY competitive market (3 offers within 8 hours on the market, 25 showings scheduled by the weekend), Derek did his homework to make sure our offer would come in strong, without just throwing extra money away. We ended up getting the first house we made an offer on, truly because of Derek. His great service didn't stop there. He's been a great resource for us, from offering to help move a couple things, to providing great referrals while we get settled in. The Johnson Team was easy to work with, documentation was all provided promptly and everybody on his team was very knowledgeable and friendly. I can't recommend Derek and The Johnson Team highly enough. A true expert in his field and a pleasure all around. Thanks again.

So, this review is from a slightly different perspective. I've never bought or sold a home with…read moreTarema. Rather, Tarema is a customer of ours. Let me explain. I happen to own one of the nation's largest real estate marketing companies. We specialize in luxury home brochures, and we have customers all over the country, including Hawaii. As a result, I have occasion to meet and interact with hundreds and hundreds of real estate agents whenever they're seeking our help in the marketing of their listings. I must be very fortunate because many of our customers are simply WONDERFUL people! Professional, friendly, responsive, funny...(all of the things!) Of course, there are also some who don't rank that highly. We've had real estate agents who are demanding, unreasonable, argumentative, and even belligerent. Some pay their bills on time, others skate out without ever bothering to pay for our services, and some we have to chase down for weeks before they FINALLY pay what's owed. Some spell well, others don't (I mean, seriously, a Realtor spells it "Dinning Room" instead of "Dining"???) Yes, happens all the time. Almost like a dentist spelling it "Toof" before filling a cavity. Doesn't instill much confidence, but I digress. I bring all of that up because Tarema has quickly become one of our MOST favorite customers! She's funny...and caring...and super quick to respond to any and every request. She's incredibly smart, and she pays our invoices literally within seconds of her receiving them. There's a character reference in there somewhere!!! Seems like if an agent doesn't pay a couple hundred bucks when owed, I'd be really nervous as to what they're capable of doing when thousands of dollars of commissions are on the line!!! Yikes! Whenever I see Tarema's name and number show up on our phone...I can't wait to pick up and have a conversation with her, no matter what it's about! She also happens to use one of the best real estate photographers in the country for each of her listings and is a superstar when it comes to drafting a compelling description of the properties she markets for sale. If you've made it this far, let me close by saying this. I do not do "fluff reviews" just to help a client out. I'd rather just politely decline if I don't genuinely believe in their ability. I also sold real estate for 18 years as a top agent in Southern California, so I know what it looks like to be at the top of your game. Tarema is the kind of agent that I, myself, would personally call in a heartbeat to represent me in any type of real estate transaction. I trust in her...and I like her style. If you're a buyer or a seller who's looking for someone who will get the job done in a friendly, "shoot from the hip" honest and professional manner, I don't think you can do any better than Tarema Riddle. (Yes, I'm obviously a big fan!)

Her professionalism, marketing strategy, knowledge of the game and absolute charisma stole the show, we had no doubt.

We couldn't recommend her more.
