Alison Hedman did a FANTASTIC job in helping us find the perfect lake home. We told her what we were looking for, and in about a month she found a home that had even more that we were looking for. She is very professional, friendly, and was easy to communicate with. I would have her as my realtor anytime. Elaine G. read more

Our agent was Kristi Sands and we couldn't be happier with the time, effort and communication she put forth through the WHOLE process of purchasing our cabin. She answered every question we had, kept us up to date with our purchasing process, and confidently and professionally voiced any questions or concerns we had with the seller during purchasing our cabin. Thanks so much Kristi, We couldn't have done it without you!! read more

We had an amazing experience with Jack Chivers Realty team. They were honest, super thorough, and fast moving. After listing with them our home sold in less than 12 hours for full price! They are the only realtor company I will work in the future after my experience. read more

This was our second time working with Jack Chivers. First as a buyer and second as a seller. We had Mike Carlson representing us as a seller of our Lake Home. He made the whole process from start to finish very easy for us, everything with the process was explained to a T, so there was no surprises or misunderstanding. Great Communication, Mike went above and beyond the call of duty as an agent. Things you would not get with most agents. We would have no hesitation recommending Mike to represent you.Thanks Again Mike! Jon and Lindsey Mosch read more

We couldn't be more satisfied with our experience with Jack Chivers Realty. Our realtor, Mike, had a great deal of knowledge on "lakes country", and his willingness to help us out through the entire process was top notch. We sincerely appreciated his honest feedback when it came to viewing different properties and we avoided "settling" on the "less than perfect" property with his guidance. We are now looking forward to embarking on lake life in the perfect summer cabin! Thanks Mike! read more

I found that the real estate agents from Jack Chivers were highly unethical and unprofessional. I guess that is good if you are trying to sell your property through them. They will do anything to make a commission even if it means "stretching" the truth to downright lying. Their methods are highly questionable which was also the opinion of an attorney we were forced to hire. There are plenty of good people in lakes country in other real estate offices. I would patronize them. read more

Jenny Schuster was my invaluable advocate, a totally professional realtor. She handled my West…read moreFargo home sale about a year ago after having worked with 2 previous Fargo realtors who let us down in countless ways. The company has a lot of integrity, a lot of experience, and is generous to the point of going the extra mile even when it's not essential. This is the 4th time we've sold a home and the 3rd state in which we've done so. Easiest to work with, and most service- minded, company so far! The real estate market in the Fargo metro area is tricky and full of paradoxes; Jenny helped with all of this in an efficient and caring manner.

We hired Vicky Matson a Park Company realtor and put a FULL price offer on a home that Ryan…read moreMullikin, also a Park Co realtor was the listing agent on. Ryan boasted the home to be 4,021 sq ft and repeatedly told us during the open house that it was "an amazing deal" and a "huge home" stating "you have over 3,000 finished sq ft, plus an unfinished basement." To our horror, days before closing on the home and relocating from CO to ND to move directly into the home, our appraiser found that the house was missing 625 sq ft of the advertised size!! When we asked that the builder (BMW homes) and his agent, Ryan Mullikin, correct the price to reflect the actual size, they refused. We took the issue over our agent Vicky Matson's head to the boss Jeff Bottnen, who, to our SHOCK, also tried to push us into buying the home and told us "it's still the home you fell in love with." We explained to him that at the new price per sq ft, the finishes didn't compare to the competition, yet he pushed us. My husband told him that it's missing 625 sq ft, and that's a HUGE chunk of a home, yet Jeff simply overtalked both of us until we finally hung up. We filed a claim with the BBB, but Park Company claims that they are covered because Vicky had us sign a "waiver" releasing them of responsibility for such an issue. HOWEVER, when we hired Vicky, she told us most of the paperwork was really necessary to read and she had a "family reunion to get to and we don't need to go over every detail of the contract." She told us we could trust her and she would "guide" us in the right direction. Well, we stupidly trusted her! The BBB has directed us to hire an attorney and take it much higher than what they can offer, as they have no enforcement when it comes to legal documents. Bottom line, this is NOT a minor thing that a "waiver" sheet should cover. This was a deliberate dishonest tactic used by Ryan Mullikin to try and move real estate that was overpriced and not selling. We are losing thousands of dollars by being forced to throw money away each month on a rental. We even had to rehome our 5 year old family dog as he was deemed too big to be allowed on rental property. We have never even received an apology from Park Company! Now, since BMW homes has reduced the price of the same home by $15,000 and our children are enrolled in the school district, we recently offered a new FULL price offer in the home but asked that Park Company take care of our lease obligations since we are in the lease because of them. To our utter amazement, Ryan Mullikin insulted our agent and turned down our second FULL price offer that is STILL too overpriced for anyone else to consider! Do yourselves a favor, do your research and above all, skip Park Company and choose an honest, TRUSTWORTHY establishment and agent who will look out for you and not their pockets!!!

Jeremey and Al where a pleasure to work with, they were there when I needed them to be. Very reasonably priced never had to hold my breath when I opened the bill, very good quality of workmanship I highly recommend them. I wish all contractors I hired were as professional as them and not a nightmare like the rest I hired. What's that you ask what do I mean, please let me explain! I hired Tom Lex construction (1*) look up my review on Yelp. I hired Precision Plumbing (1*) look up my review on Yelp. One other contractor to stay away from is Jeff Giefer Drywall, he is an X-marine, Christen and a self proclaimed thief. If your into a self righteous vulgar speaking individuals he's your man. This project was supposed to be fun for me and my responsibility to these people was to pay the bill which I did, there responsibility to me was to do their best with quality workmanship and not act like a DEI hire. Your work speaks for itself and your only as good as your last Job. Sorry about the rant, but I am a little angry, I hope that doesn't show to much but enough to get my point across, aside from these losers Jeremey is the best of the best. You can't go wrong with him and Al. I would diffidently have a beer with these guys.
