Laurie LaDow is a warrior in the real estate market…read more Being my first foray into the world of home buying, I was relatively clueless on how the entire process works. I needed an experienced professional who could concisely explain the process of buying a home to me and guide me in the right direction every step of the way. I needed someone who, instead of trying to take advantage of my inexperience, would work for me with my own interests exclusively in mind. Laurie LaDow fits that bill perfectly! I'm confident that Laurie's #1 goal truly is the satisfaction of her clients. She will not try to sell you on the first house you see so that she can make a quick transaction and closing. With her great amount of experience in showing houses, she made many observations about some of the properties we looked at that we did not notice at first. Her observations often actually steered us AWAY from those particular homes in search of something more ideal. I cannot express enough how appreciative I am of a realtor who will give her honest opinion on a matter instead of put her own interests first. After we found our ideal home and began the complicated closing process, Laurie really came through and showed her value. She handled all of the fine details, such as arranging inspections per my request and communicating with the seller through the seller's agent regarding inspection results. The MOST impressive aspect of working with Laurie was certainly her tenacity to improve the deal for her customer. For example, there was one inspection result (leaky window seals) that I didn't feel confident in asking the seller to repair. However, with Laurie's insistence on the matter, I eventually decided to ask the seller to repair the defect and replace some window panes. At first, the seller initially refused to make any repairs at all, and said that I could back out of the closing altogether if this was unacceptable. But Laurie would not allow that to stand. With my approval and her insistence, Laurie managed to convince the seller to pay half of the costs to repair the windows. That saved me several hundreds of dollars! Laurie truly will go above and beyond the call of duty in order to ensure that her customers get the best deal possible, with no hidden surprises! Laurie LaDow is an experienced and extremely professional realtor who will not disappoint you! Highly recommended!

At first I was nervous to sign a lease with HomeWorks simply because the reviews were terrible--…read morebut we liked the house and took a leap of faith. Honestly, our experience has been very pleasant! The management team has been VERY helpful and timely when a work order was submitted. The house we moved into was vacant for 5 months, and soon after we moved in we noticed a mouse problem. We were naturally very nervous and hoped HomeWorks would resolve the issue as it was preexisting. My husband and I personally purchased about $70 worth of pest control, and after submitting receipts to management they credited our rent for the following month. They were very reasonable, understanding, and helpful throughout the whole process. The only frustration I had was that the house was grimy/dirty/filthy when we moved in. The company does a "commercial cleaning", however the floors were filthy, and there were COPIOUS amounts of dog hair throughout the house. When I mopped the basement the bucket had thick mud at the bottom, even after 4 times mopping. I had to clean for a week straight-- scrubbing banisters, sweeping, and mopping multiple times before we felt comfortable unpacking. As a whole, HomeWorks is a decent place to lease from. If you read an especially terrible review, keep in mind that 9/10 times it's bitter tenants airing out their dirty laundry, for reasons that were likely their own fault in the first place. HomeWorks management are NOT slumlords.

For starters she lost my earnest money and told me I DID after the day I drove to the office I dropped it off at the day before she found it in the trash can at the front desk AFTER I called the bank and told them they gave me the wrong paperwork. Then she only wants to reach out when she has questions, not answer yours. She also told me that I was not to pay for the inspections after I paid for my home inspections. That part of my agreement was for them to pay that so we waited until after my close date for the sellers to pay for it. Now I'm being stuck with the bill and I'm just going ahead and eating the cost after her not wanting to really do much about it. The cherry on top was the lockbox with the combination she failed to remove and a third party came by without my consent and took it off and she had the nerve to blow me up about it. Even if she offered me a free house I'd rather pay a toddler with paper money versus ever dealing with her again, at least they'll be honest with me and talk to me with respect. 0 outta 10

Well, this was not a match made in heaven, for me any way…read more Our mother died, leaving her condo to us through a trust. A sibling was named executor in the will and so was the one to interview realtors and select one to list and sell the condo. Denise was selected to be our realtor. We signed a contract with Denise/Cressy and /Everett on May 24, 2022. Cressy and Everett, in my opinion, has had a great reputation in South Bend so I was happy with the choice. Things started going sideways the next day when Denise had the wrong asking price on the listing. After that, she had my email address wrong 5 times so I was missing out on critical information regarding the condo. A sibling kept forwarding the emails to me, and telling Denise she had wrong email addresses. I also mailed/texted Denise and told her she had wrong email addresses for me. She got one sibling's email address wrong as well. There was a number of different email addresses that were being used. Denise's reason each time was not having her glasses with her. Denise also had my phone number wrong 3 times (I thought it was 4 but I only find documentation of 3 times, so 3 times it is). It was the missing glasses reason again. Then I went to the title company a few days early to sign the closing paperwork. Denise emailed me the night before (the original date I was supposed to sign) that she would be showing up at the closing. I didn't check emails that night so I emailed her back that morning that I had already signed the paperwork. She called me and ripped me a new one, telling me that I should have told her I signed the paperwork early, that she had spent 30 minutes driving to the title company. I told her that was the title company's job, not mine. She mentioned that she knew a sibling and I were unhappy with her. I told her that was true and went through the list of issues (listed above). I told her I had never had so many problems with a title company and realtor before. Right before she hung up on me (who hangs up on a client, no matter how upset one is?), she told me I hadn't shown her "grace". I thought I had as I had put up with all the mistakes she had made. I decided to not rate Denise and to let it go, showing some "grace" towards Denise. But then she sent a thank you email to my siblings, and not to me. One third of her commission came from me! This rating would have been one star except for Lindsay. Denise went on vacation and Lindsay helped us out while Denise was gone. Our initial buyer backed out on his offer. Lindsay handled getting the condo back on the market quickly. In talking with Lindsay, she was professional, knowledgeable and personable. I'd like my 1/3 of Denise's fee back.

I…read morewas impressed with her level of knowledge and the amount of data she always had about the market. So it was a no-brainer for me to work with her after I retired from the business since I was determined to work with someone I thought was one of the best in the area. Jen Schmitt is ALWAYS available for questions and local insight. Her responsiveness was incredible--if she didn't pick up immediately, she always called back in short order. Seriously. I purchased an older home with a reticent seller for my daughter, which I would later resell to her once we had made the necessary renovations--so it wasn't a straightforward deal. However, Jen worked with me to ensure all parties were on the same page, so we were ready to close in a brief period. Jen gathered an incredible amount of information about the process and the status of inspections. The data delivery was straightforward: present the info and talk about pros/cons/strategy for moving forward. Jen treated the situation like she was my daughter (who would eventually be purchasing the property). She looked out for both my family and me. She always had our best interests in mind. Jen will work with you to make your desires a reality. She is very well versed in dealing with other real estate agents. Her relaxed, calm mindset kept my anxiety low and gave me the confidence that she would get the job done - and she did! Jen Schmitt's promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and good energy made a potentially chaotic purchase process simple. I recommended her to both friends and family. When I am looking to buy (or sell) again, I will not hesitate to call Jen Schmitt.
