I had the opportunity to work with Tasha for selling my property and purchasing a new one. In both…read morescenarios I found Tasha to be extremely professional, prompt in communication and most importantly mindful in conducting business. What really worked very well with me was that she remained extremely patient through out the process especially when I was selling my house, which can be a hell of process, She pretty much helped me sail through it effortlessly. Another thing i shouldn't forget to mention is that Tasha negotiated very effectively on my behalf. I was very impressed how calm she can remain and yet get the best possibly outcome. She was even working for me while on vacation :-) I couldn't recommend Tasha more.

We bought our home with Billy virtually across the country. At first we were sure that we wanted to…read morestart looking at houses after we moved to Minnesota. Buying something as expensive and important as a house virtually seemed nuts. But as the new year began we started getting the urge to just take a look. Who knew that within just a few weeks we would have an accepted offer? There is no one else we would have felt comfortable buying remotely with. And the only reason we changed from just looking to seriously buying was because we came to trust and rely on Billy's opinions. He is not just a savvy and knowledgeable realtor, he is truly a sincere and nice guy. He would warn us that even if we lose out on a house, in the end it always works out (and SPOILER ALERT he's right). But he still commiserated with us when we were outbid and he really went above and beyond when we were searching for the right home. And he really does want to find you the right home. He will be honest with you about any negatives he sees and he will steer you away from any bad decisions. Sometimes we were so keen to just get a house that we were willing to settle or make hasty decisions. But Billy makes sure that whatever house you get is a great house and whatever you do is sound and smart. And I'm so glad that he was there with us helping make all our decisions. He would give us daily updates of his endeavors going door to door and networking with other agents. In the end it was a note of his he left on the door of a house that was off the market that did the trick. We were able to buy a house that was miles better than any of the other houses we put offers on with basically no other competition. In the crazy housing market right now you need someone like Billy who is willing to go the extra mile. He was always trying innovative techniques to help us stand out amongst other buyers and that's exactly what it takes these days. He's continued to be invaluable after closing. He was great to bounce ideas around with about updating the house after moving in and he and Heather have been great with recommendations. He is always super responsive and I'm so glad I can still rely on him even after we've closed.

This is the first time in my life that I am writing a review for a realtor; never before have I've…read morebeen so happy with any realtor and I own numerous properties, I've owned different homes in different states and countries and not once would I give any realtor 5 stars... far from it. Except Ben. If you are looking for an incredibly hard working person who will answer the phone pretty much any time of the day look no further; Ben has been incredibly responsive and on top of every issue we've encountered during the buying/building process of our home. He is very good at solving disputes and helping his client as much as he possibly can. I am not the one to give 5 stars easily but I just could not recommend Ben enough! A big thanks to Ben for helping us buy and build our brand new home!

I purchased a home where she was the seller's agent last year. I waited to write this review to…read moremake sure I reflected on this experience first. I have purchased a home before and it's usually the sellers and buyers who have challenges coming to terms but agents usually work well together to make a deal work. However, Melissa was horrible! It felt like it was her first sale. First, they accepted our offer then she comes back with something that they are now looking for highest offers which makes no sense because the seller already signed the offer. Even if the seller says that, you as an agent, don't communicate something like that because it makes you look unprofessional. Then she also took sometimes a couple days to respond back after we started escrow already over minor documents stating she needed to consult with her broker. Most agents know what to do in a sale and their brokers usually help them move things along quickly. We had to wait a few days to order our inspection because of this. After we had been in escrow for over a week, the house was still active on the MLS as well. She also had us sign a strange document pretty much to say that we won't come back and ask for more compensation, but every agent knows that once the inspection contingency period ends, buyers can't ask for more compensation. Every buyer knows this and that is why they have to rush to get the inspection done, reviewed and requests sent over before that contingency period ends. Maybe it was her first sale and her broker just did not help her but it was the least professional experience I've had with a seller's agent. I'm guessing she just might have been a friend of the sellers because I'm not sure why anyone would use a realtor that would cause them so much unnecessary anxiety.
