Finding Whitney Wilson (of Berkshire Hathaway and Starck Realty) in 2022 was the best luck we've…read moreever had! We were in the market for our first home and I was given her name by the VP of a well respected local bank's mortgage division. From the moment we met I could tell she had a great personality and was incredibly driven - she made it clear she'd do whatever she needed to do to find us the perfect home in our price range, despite the competitive market. She made herself available for as many showings as we needed and used her network and the private MLS to eventually find us a perfect home that had not currently listed on the public market yet. With her help we were able to submit a competitive offer and secure a home well within our budget before our apartment lease was up. The sale went quickly and smoothly and she was there to guide us every step of the way, providing excellent vendor recommendations and advice. It should come as no surprise that we reached out again when we needed to sell our home after unexpectedly finding out we were pregnant in late 2024. Whitney walked us through the selling process, gave us great insight on how to maximize interest in the property and provided all the tools we needed to ensure it showed beautifully and got us top dollar. In fact, our house sold again on the private market due to her tips within just a few days of listing that it was coming soon. We credit her with helping us choose a solid house that held its resale value and even appreciated over the short time we were in it (with minimal maintenance needed.) Closing was quick and easy and I credit Whitney with making our first home purchase/sale experiences as seamless as possible. I would 1000% recommend Whitney to anyone needing a home - she is top notch and will go out of her way to advocate for her clients to ensure they get exactly what they need out of their purchase and/or sale. You're the best, Whitney! We can't thank you enough and are glad to have met you! Our housing guardian angel!

We had 28 years of accumulation and needed the fresh counsel to understand staging. Every home transaction is unique and unpredictable. We had a snafu when the buyer wanted to postpone the closing. Deb did everything possible to continue the process, keeping us informed while remaining positive, supportive, and approachable. Deb stayed in touch to make sure we had all of our questions answered. This transaction should've been the easiest, but when it got hard, Deb leaned in to get the property closed, right up to the last minute -- literally at 5 pm!! She understands the financial and emotional gravity of selling and buying a home and she shows it in her care and attention to detail. You should hire Deb.

I am highly disappointed with the lack of service and professionalism provided by this agent. As an…read moreestablished business owner of six years making $10,000 to $13,000 a month, I submitted an application and explicitly explained that I am actively working on resolving older credit issues from years ago. I have no criminal record, no pets, and do not smoke.Despite my stable income and excellent rental profile, the agent flatly refused to even present my application to the homeowner simply because my credit score was under 625. She rudely told me, 'No, we can't consider you' and refused to reach out to the homeowner, condescendingly adding, 'but I'm sure you will find a beautiful place.'A professional agent should facilitate communication and present applications to the property owner, letting the owner make the final decision. Refusing to even contact the homeowner while offering patronizing remarks is completely unacceptable. I would not recommend working with this agent

Let me start out by saying that I'm aggravated to write this review. I had a bad experience with…read moreRick some years ago that I've tried to put behind me, but he has recently decided to add me to his Homesnap e-mail list without my permission. After e-mailing him to tell him to never contact me again, I'm still receiving these annoying and unsolicited e-mails. My beef with Rick revolves around my mother's passing. I originally asked him to appraise her house to see what it might sell for. He did the appraisal, and that was fine. I had asked him if he knew someone who could help me clear out the house, and he recommended Trudy Trochta of Sugar River Auction Sales. He came to the house with Trudy to meet with me to discuss the services she could provide. I sat on the couch and started talking to Trudy, while Rick stood nearby, next to a table laden with numerous small items to be sold, including jewelry. I suddenly looked up to see him slowly putting his closed fist into his pocket. I gave him a pointed look, but I did not call him out on it. I mean, what was I going to do, reach into his pocket to see what he had placed there? Discussions with Trudy continued, and I did hire her. I even checked references that she provided. However, she ended up being a complete crook. She held an auction at the house, but she did not pay me for all items that were sold. She would send me records of a few items that she sold on a website, but understand that this house was full of stuff. I tried multiple times to try and resolve the item reports to the payments received, but unsuccessfully. What was clear is that I was not paid for any reasonable percentage of the items she took. And let me just tell, you, she took every single thing that was in that house. So, since this review is about Rick, I'll leave it there and let you draw your own conclusions. The bottom line is that this guy is a thief and consorts with criminals, so be careful in your dealings with him, and be sure to check your transactions to make sure that you are really getting a good deal/what you were promised. Real estate transactions are complicated, so please take the time to educate yourself and go over the documents in detail before the Closing.
