I had been casually shopping for vacation homes for over two years but was so far unsuccessful in…read morefinding that dream home that checked the majority of my boxes. I had engaged perhaps a half dozen agents in various regions and across four States. Then enter Eileen Stevens. What a fortunate encounter as I stumbled upon what is most likely the best buyer's agent in the Pike County PA area. After one or two showings, my Sister who was assisting texted me "She's a keeper!" After a series of rapid-fire questions, Eileen boiled down my wish list and focused my attention on a curated list of options on the market and the areas of most appeal. A few weeks later, my dream house comes on the market and Eileen sprung in to action, put on her buyer agent boots and coached me through to a winning bid. After assembling what proved to be the most ideal team of inspectors, title company, etc. we ended up closing in just over two weeks. Anyone out there that is looking for an agent, if you can manage to get on Eileen Stevens much sought-after list, you will be in expert hands. Not only did I find my dream vacation home, but I also found a new family friend in the process.

Our agent Edie Duncan failed to represent us adequately on the sale of our home. A few of her…read morefailings are as follows. She failed to list the property in the timeframe provided by her own contract. She created nonsensical property descriptions with inaccuracies and an unexplainable number of capital letters, for some ungodly reason. She became fixated on generating a stupid virtual tour of the property but then neglected to post anything other than potato-quality photos of the home. She would show up to the property unannounced, and schedule showings/open houses without checking with us first. She never bothered to put a lock box on the door and instead left the key "hidden" on the back porch. She failed to respond to numerous voicemails, emails, and text messages. And when she would deign to respond, she would only respond to my spouse (despite me asking the question) and simply screenshot messages from the buyer's agent without context or explanation. She failed to provide direction or guidance with respect to offers, and she provided factually inaccurate information with respect to the contingent offer that we took. She failed to provide accurate times for appointments, resulting in the buyer and his agent showing up at our house unannounced. She had the audacity to try to sneak an additional $500 "brokers fee" into our closing costs, despite all of the above. I could go on, but nobody has time to read my flame novel. Suffice it to say, this person is utterly useless as real estate agent. Fortunately, our house showed well, so we ended up with an offer that was adequate. However, the fact that this person and this agency took 22.5k of our proceeds by doing almost nothing makes my skin crawl. I will never work with a realtor to sell a home again. Just sell it yourself; you'll end up doing all the work anyway.

We went to buy a house (not using a buying agent) that was being sold through Davis Chant and were…read morevery disappointed that they would not discount some of the 6% agency fee to the seller? It was one showing and an all cash offer. House was on the market for 1 week. It would have been easy to make both the buyer and seller happy and Davis Chant would have gotten commission that they expected when they listed the house. Very greedy on Davis Chant's part.

He forgot to send the agreement of sale to the mortgage company so my closing was delayed. He also neglected to bring his buyer to a final walk through.

Donna Geba is a consummate professional. I cannot imagine a more knowledgeable or effective real…read moreestate person regardless of whether you are buying or selling a property. She sold my cabin in Sullivan County for over asking price. She did everything she promised when we met, and more. She personally oversaw every aspect of the listing, from the incredible still and drone photography that accompanied the ad, to showing the place to its best advantage along with providing local knowledge and history to prospective buyers. Donna kept me updated throughout the process. If I emailed or texted her, I had a response within minutes. Once the cabin was sold, she even offered to personally come by and help me move out anything I would have trouble getting out by myself. Over the course of owning the cabin I have gotten to know a number of local tradesmen - plumber, electrician, landscaper, etc. Every one of them knew her, and each one remarked on how sharp she is. They had nothing but respect for her and went out of their way to tell me I couldn't have chosen a better person to work with. This combination of local knowledge, stellar reputation, great sense of people and properties and just being a wonderful person to work with make her absolutely unbeatable. I simply cannot recommend Donna highly enough.
