The initial meeting went well and then after that I was not contacted in a consistent manner and wasnt given nearly a level of service that should have occurred. The photos and listing were published without reviewing them with me and were not beneficial to the house at all. There was no follow up on the 4 interested agents that were waiting to view the house prior to it going public; which to me equates 4 possible lost sales. Emails with questions were constantly ignored, like not an acknowledged, just ignored. There was also zero follow up on the comments from agents that did go through the home. If it wasnt for offer she presented on my deadline, that was also handled terribly; DPG and Debbie would have been fired. The contract and communication were not handled adequately either but at that point, I made the decision to finalize the sale. The only thing DPG did was ignore me and cash a check. I didnt even get a thank you. No wait, after I called her out on it she forwarded me a canned text she sent my husband. Apparently gratitude is lost there. Please do yourself a favor and use an alternate agent. This is a solid truthful review with back up documentation as well.

I was originally terrified of the idea of selling our home because it seemed like such a nightmare. However, the minute we saw another home we wanted, our lender introduced us to Stephanie and she immediately helped us see how easy it could be to transition to a new home. I am SO glad that we made the leap and that we had Stephanie there to guide us through the process on both ends. If you want someone kind and empathetic, Stephanie is the one for you.

We put our home on the market September 2014 and sold in June 2015. For many people, that's a long…read moretime to have a home on the market. But for us, we anticipated it would be a long haul, because our townhome was located on a main street with heavy, and fast, traffic. We also had growing difficulties and concerns with the HOA, and we wanted the whole big house in the 'burbs with a white picket fence for the dog. Paul Baker was wonderful from the start; he was honest, realistic, friendly, communicative, and professional at all times. He offered helpful feedback and suggestions. He truly seemed interested in having our best interests in mind when it came time to accept and negotiate offers on our home. I knew selling our home would be difficult, but the buyer's situation made it even more difficult. Dealing with the closing (TWO extensions later), which involved hunting and gathering several documents, photos, receipts, and having repairs made - it was definitely one of the most mentally and emotionally draining things I've EVER had to go through. Paul handled my panicked, ranting e-mails and text messages with ease. Information and requests were made in a timely manner, and even when he was on vacation he was still available to us. I really could not be happier with Paul. To think that in 2013, we spoke with another realtor who encouraged us to stop paying our mortgage - it speaks volumes of Paul's integrity that he can roll with the big boys and the million dollar listings, but he isn't afraid to sacrifice some time for those of us who won't bankroll so much. We are 100% using Paul when we are ready to purchase another home, and in the meantime I will recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor.

One of the things I like best about the Mill Creek community is that is unique compared to your typical master plan development in the suburbs. The variety of single-family home styles, village homes, townhomes, apartments and condos attracts a variety of people which we prefer. There are young families, empty nesters, In fact, we chose a home site near the retirement community because we actually like a variety of people in the community and feel it is a better experience for our boys..it takes a village!

After getting married, we had outgrown our tiny one-bedroom apartment and wanted to move into…read moresomething roomier, but still within our budget. We started looking around on our own, but as prospective first-time homeowners, we were wary of potential missteps. Mike hosted an open house at one of the first properties we checked out, and although the house itself didn't turn out to be a perfect fit, Mike was. His easy, friendly manner was immediately disarming, and he quickly put to rest any fears we had that we would find our ideal house. Because short sales were so prevalent at the time, they were nearly unavoidable, but thanks to Mike's clear and honest assessments of certain properties' short sale situations vs. those of other properties, we were able to successfully bid on the house we fell in love with and save a bundle in the process. Of course, that's not to say the short sale process was, well, short. But that's par for the course, and Mike was endlessly supportive throughout. When I would get nervous that we hadn't heard a peep from the buyer's lender in a few days, I would call Mike and find out that he was already on it. When the SOLD! sign suddenly disappeared from the For Sale sign in front of our future house and I freaked out, he looked into it without making me feel like I was being totally irrational (I was). He checked in with us regularly, keeping us apprised of any recent developments, and communicating with the buyer's agent on a near-daily basis. Keep in mind, this sale took about 100 days to close, thanks to the buyer's lender (no love for BoA here), but Mike was with us the entire time. We couldn't be happier with our new house, and I'm personally thankful for all of Mike's help, thoughtfulness, and his breadth of local real estate knowledge. It was like a good friend was guiding us the whole time--to the point that now we really do consider him to be a good friend. Thanks for everything, Mike!
