Here's what our buyers and sellers say...
Kelly Toney assisted me with the 1997 purchase of the property. I was ready to sell, and she has answered my questions and concerns through the years.
From day one, my broker Debbie Foster, sounds funny even saying 'my broker' because over the course of a short time, Debbie became a friend. My house went active in MLS at 800am on a Monday morning. At 819am, Debbie received a request for a showing. The first people who looked at my house, bought it. Debbie was always there, going above and beyond, in every aspect of the real estate process. She was there for every "bump in the road" to hold my hand. And I know some of the stuff she did, was not in her job description. She always got back to me and answered every question (even the stupid ones). She is honest and ethical and was there for me like a best friend. She held my hand to the finish line, running up against many different obstacles and even when issues from the inspection seemed insurmountable. Debbie is very knowledgeable and friendly and has a great personality. She is the consummate professional !!!!
Tim was very professional and a pleasure to work with.
Ruth was wonderful in helping me find the perfect home! She was easy to work with great with all communication during the home buying process. Ruth always had something new and educational to show me at each house that we looked at. I would strongly recommend Ruth to any of my friends looking to purchase a new home.
David Rogers was very professional and understanding of my needs. He made me feel like I was his only client. Any questions I had he answered This is my first home purchase and he made sure I understood the whole process. I would highly recommend him to someone buying or selling a house. I feel like he goes the extra mile for his clients. Best part of it all he is my brother and it was nice being able to work with him on buying my first home. Thank you for your patients and hard work.
We looked at a number of Real Estate Brokers and read their profiles, analyzed their sales results, and looked for a broker that was hard working, organized, personable and successful. Debbie Foster immediately stood out and she was wonderful to work with. This was the sale of my Mom's home and it was most important that Mom felt comfortable with the broker we chose. Mom loved Debbie from a review of her profile, her initial meeting with us and her on-going advice and guidance as we proceeded toward the sale of Mom's home. Kind, caring, direct and honest - Debbie exceeded our expectations in every way. Debbie came to us with a well-developed plan and quickly executed it. She was creative and personable and worked hard for us to get an offer on the property. Loved the sign and special advertising she did playing off the Diamond Court address. She quickly responded to text messages and emails - at all hours of the day and night and kept us informed at all times. She was a great partner to work with for the sale of Mom's house. Debbie really was fantastic to work with. We enjoyed her friendly, personable approach and always felt respected. She was appropriately strong in representing our interests, while always very respectful and professional in working with all prospective buyers. If you are looking for an amazing realtor to help you buy or sell a home in the South Bend area, I highly recommend Debbie Foster. She did a fantastic job for us!
We met Maria at an open house showing. We had been to several others and most of the time got nothing more than a greeting from the agent. Maria asked and answered questions and we knew right away that she was the one who we wanted to help us find our home. We were probably one of Maria's more difficult clients. We looked at dozens of homes in both Elkhart and St Joseph counties. Many more than once and a few three times. She never complained, just assured us we would find our new home. Our patience was tested by inspection and mortgage approval process. She was always helping to make sure everything possible was done to avoid unnecessary delays. Maria was extremely helpful with her advice concerning our offers and counter offers. I can't imagine there was anyone else that we could have worked with and felt as good about the whole experience. Maria was truly a blessing from God to us.
Doug was great to work with and very much appreciated the way he listened to our needs and recommended various options. I also found Doug Birkey's knowledge of the market and experience as a former home builder and of the home building industry to be very helpful as we considered multiple listings. Doug Birkey's knowledge helped us pick the right house!
Doug Birkey is a consummate professional. He was back with answers to our questions and helped guide us through the process. He was always available which was wonderful considering my wife's schedule varies week to week. Cressy & Everett has a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable sales person.
I recommend Lori Johnson fully and without reservation. She is an outstanding broker and a credit to her profession. She is friendly and honest and a wonderful person with the utmost integrity and professionalism.
