John is amazing. He helped us through the entire process of being first-time homeowners. I went in…read moreknowing absolutely nothing, and he helped me understand everything with kindness, care, and intelligence while also ensuring I understood all the important complexities. He also is an incredible person to see a house with--a perceptive eye for all the things to look for that I never would have considered. Throughout the shopping process, he thoughtfully considered our unique needs and gave us answers to questions we didn't even know we had. At the time we were buying (spring 2022), it was definitely a seller's market. At the end of the day, we only had to put in two offers (I know many people who unsuccessfully put over a dozen), and with the second one, he helped us put together the best possible offer and, perhaps most importantly, he helped us understand what risks were worth taking given our situation and which we should avoid. From there, he set us up with a great mortgage broker and helped us through the many questions we had about financing and moving in. He even still answers our questions now, and we've been living here for a year. I couldn't possibly be happier, and I feel so lucky John is our real estate agent. Because of him, we have the perfect house in our favorite neighborhood.

I can't say enough about how amazing John is to work with. Professional, knowledgeable and always available. Thanks again John!

DAN BRASSIL: REALTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE! Searching for a real…read moreestate agent that you can be 100% confident in to meet your home buying goals and timelines? Dan Brassil is your man! My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to work with Dan to help us find and secure our new Saint Louis home. WE DID OUR RESEARCH We did research on about 10 different realtors, interviewed 4, and Dan Brassil was our clear choice. We picked him as he gave an immediate sense of comfort and confidence through his professionalism and deep knowledge of the real estate industry and home buying/selling overall. WORKED ON A TIGHT TIMELINE As out-of-state home buyers, we knew we needed someone who we could trust to have our backs and was equipped to manage virtual home tours and work on our tight schedule. This was a super important factor especially since we only had 2 months to close on a home. GREAT LISTENER & HIGHLY RESPONSIVE Dan listened to all of our preferences, set up our MLS portal in no time, and was incredibly responsive to all the homes we favorited and pointed to the pros and cons of listings we were considering across multiple dimensions like the neighborhood, construction quality, and more. MASTER COORDINATOR OF HOME TOURS We planned one visit to Saint Louis and Dan had lined up 8 homes for us to tour and scheduled them in a way that was most efficient and convenient for our flight schedule. We were highly impressed with his ability to coordinate all the private showings in such a streamlined manner. KNOWLEDGEABLE IN HOME BUILD QUALITY Every home we visited Dan educated us on home construction and pointed out critical facets to watch out for: from the foundation, to drainage, ducting, the types of wiring, flooring, basement integrity, sump drains, cracks in walls, down to the types of bolts used on the deck. Amazing! OUT-OF-STATE FRIENDLY As out-of-state buyers he visited homes on our behalf with his camera and a gyroscope, and uploaded videos to YouTube for us to review in a very timely manner. He made sure to cover every nook and cranny of interest and the virtual tours made us feel like we were actually there. PRIORITIZES YOUR BEST INTERESTS Dan was also highly proficient when it came time to make offers on homes, and had a strong sense of fair market valuations based on comps, and was able to figure out what a strong competitive offer would be based on seller agent intel, and what was just unreasonable. NO-FRILLS NEGOTIATOR When it came time to negotiate the terms of our agreement Dan always gave us multiple options to consider, laid out the pros and cons of each path, and shared his best recommendation. He always made us feel like we were in control even in tough situations. AMAZING NETWORK AND CONNECTIONS Dan is also highly networked in the real estate and home repair ecosystem and put us in touch with an amazing lender, title company, inspectors, and even helped us coordinate minor and more major repairs on the home with high quality contractors we knew we could trust. PERSONAL TOUCH With Dan we didn't feel like our home buying process was transactional in nature. He was always incredibly professional and highly personable and was a pleasure to work with. He made sure we were comfortable in our new home and also offered tons of local recommendations! OUR VERDICT: DAN IS THE MAN! Looking for a realtor you can trust to meet your goals, someone who is highly knowledgeable and professional, knows how to quickly navigate those inevitable curve balls, and always has your best interests in heart and mind? Then go with Dan - 10/10 couldn't recommend more!

My husband and I were first time home buyers in the city. Cameron was a godsend. Shes local and…read moreknows the neighborhoods extremely well. She sent us listings meeting our requirements and requests regularly, would get us showings within a day or two of requesting, and was a true professional when it came to helping us make decisions. She'd walkthrough and point out issues and give us information on the water heater, HVAC, and electrical panel. We managed to find the house for us within a week and the day we decided to put in an offer she sat down with us on a Saturday evening to walk us through the best plan for putting in an offer to give us the best chances of getting the house and for the best price possible. After we went under contract she helped organize all the inspections and make our list of fixes to request to the seller (all of which were accepted). I was extremely nervous going into the home buying process but Cameron was the best person to have throughout it.

I highly recommend Judy Dempcy Homes and specifically Rob Cole-Dempcy as a realtor. Earlier this…read moreyear, I became the executor of an estate which included a house in O'Fallon, IL that was then unoccupied and needed to be sold. I live in the Dayton, OH area, about a five to six hour drive away, so travelling to the house on a regular basis was not convenient. Rob and his entire staff went far beyond what was required to sell the house; to include recommending specific upgrades to modernize the house fixtures for sale (he even texted photos of specific model light fixtures that would help the resale value), coordinating schedules with various contractors to allow them access to the home, and just checking on the property on a nearly daily basis. The previous owner was a smoker, and Rob worked tirelessly to eradicate the stubborn smell of cigar smoke so that the house would be appealing to non-smokers. After several months of work, we had a house that looked, felt and smelled like new construction, and recently sold to become a home for a new family for a good price. When I was initially looking for a realtor, I interviewed several in the area that were recommended online and by reputation within the realtor community. After selecting Rob, another realtor that I had interviewed but did not select asked me why I did not select her. I explained to her all that Rob offered to do since I was not in the local area to help make this long-distance home sale easier for me. She openly admitted that she would not have done any of the extra things that Rob Cole offered to do - and then did - to make this sale happen more quickly and easily. I applaud her honesty, but more so I applaud Rob's professionalism and dedication. I would absolutely use him again and recommend that others do so as well.

We were working through some homes and when I found one I liked he said he would look into it for me. I had to call him back 3 days later to see if he had contacted the other agent so we could put an offer on the house. He said he had not and would do it that day. I called him next day and had to leave a message. I called him back the day after thinking he was busy and he said he had not contacted them yet. I called another agent after two days of waiting to hear from Rob Cole to get things moving and found out that the house was sold yesterday and I had missed my chance to buy my dream home. I would never use Rob Cole or any company he works for.
