She has gone above and beyond with anything and everything, without hesitation. We've worked with three other realtors over the years in the area, and none can hold a candle to Nicole. Even when we were getting our ducks in a row to build a home, she helped us continue to look for houses that would be a great fit, just in case the right one came up. The day we were set to sign a build contract (with much hesitation due to escalating build costs), we found the perfect house, made an offer and had the easiest escrow ever. We could not be happier with our new cabin, and got so much more for our money than we would have building. Now instead of breaking ground this summer, we will be sitting on our patio, enjoying the views and mountain breeze. We simply cannot say enough good things about the incredible level of service that Nicole provides. I lost count of how many properties she went to in order to do video tours for us since we could not be in town quickly enough in this seller's market. She even handled our walk through for us by video chat. She just took care of anything and everything. We had no issues, no hiccups, not a single problem with any of our three transactions with her. She's great at communication, be it by phone, text or email. She has been on top of everything, every step of the way. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She's the one you want to work with.

Bill Miketta provides a level of real estate expertise and service above and beyond what one would…read moreexpect from a well-qualified, experienced successful agent. Being 200 miles away from the property i was buying creates a set of challenges that can be costly and add risk to the purchase. Bill was so on top of the process from the inspections that he personally attended every one of them in my absence. His diligence caught a couple issues that would not normally be noticed and would have cost thousands a few years down the road. He was not only on top of the house i was purchasing from inspections to title to close , he was on top of the home close process for the house i was selling, staying on top of my buyers lender and title co to keep them on track. And when i had challenges with my movers and they were arriving at my new home before i would be able to get there he went to meet them and let them in to get started saving me hundreds of dollars. I don't have the space to list all of the things Bill did to make what would have been a nightmare many times during the process into one of the smoothest transactions i could have ever expected. Bill is 5 stars () only because there is no way to give him the 6 stars he deserves. I would recommend to anyone purchasing a home in the White Mountains of AZ (Heber Overgaard, Show Low, Pinetop Lakeside, Greer, St. Johns, Springerville, Eagar, Alpine, Snowflake and Taylor) to get Bill Miketta as your agent and you will never regret it.

I've lived on the East Coast, I've lived on the West Coast. I've lived in the Mid-West (where the…read moremanners come from) and I've lived in the North Woods where a fireplace is a good thing to be around. In Florida they got bugs so big they get expressions on their face when they see you, I also met the prettiest girl in my life down there. Bill Miketta is the greatest real estate agent I have ever met anywhere. In fact, he has done so much in the simple exercise of selling a house, a house to me, and so much of it after the fact, when the ink is already dry on the deed, that I have to start with the latest, what he did for me this week, and work backwards. Yet to preface, I bought the house in June at retirement, and then discovered I would actually be working, in another State, until May of 2020. This week Bill Miketta discovered my pump house had been struck so close by lightning that my motor died, and that the tank had just 8 inches water in it. He discovered this because he was there to help the security company activate my cameras on my phone up there in Vernon, where the new house is and I ain't and could not be. Bill Miketta to the rescue. I asked him if I could mail my phone to him to accommodate this not because I don't trust my own alarm company, but because I trust Bill so much and because he once again offered to help. Mind you, this is now three months since the sale of the home. When he discovered this he pulled the money to replace the pump out of his own pocket and ordered the precise item for me from the manufacturer to get it all in the works as soon as possible, and told me not to worry he'd help with the install when it got there? This has saved me at least five hundred bucks - three months after the sale of the home, in which, remember, he made his fair remuneration not from me, but from the seller. You may well ask yourself what a man of Bill's indefatigable energy might do were he the listing agent of the home and I'll tell you what I think - the very same. This is Bill Miketta's ethic; if real estate were football and you were on his team there could be no better coach, offense or defense: George Halas / Bill Miketta. What else? Well, been at my home as I could not be for the placement of my new propane tank, secured my internet access (no small feat in Vernon), interfaced for me with all the appropriate parties, Frontier, Pioneer, Navopache, etc., service providers I had selected but had no time to interact with... helped me retain the services of a care-taker, offered to keep a UTV I bought in Show Low on his property till I move up there... went there when the pest control I engaged needed to enter my home and then when he himself found the ONLY possible entrance some party animal mice were enjoying like VIP's at Studio 54, he fit the exact piece of metal required to crash their party (no mice since - that was two months ago - a month after the ink was dry on the deed). This may sound over the top for most realtors but it's the absolute truth where Bill Miketta is concerned. There is no way I can list all that he has done for this new guy in town so what I'd like to do is post this on social media and let Bill know if anyone calls him as a result to please give them my name and number so I can personally relay my recommendation. I'm 65: he's the best I've ever worked with anywhere.

This company helped me realize my dream of owning a home, on a large lot, in Lakeside, AZ with an unobstructed view of Rainbow Lake. I'm grateful.

Why I choose Lindsay Peters of Frank M. Smith & Associates to sell my house…read moreMy goal in selling my Pinetop home was to realize the most profit from the sale to find a better suited home in an adjacent community for the next stage of my life. Why I am thankful I choose Lindsay Peters: Lindsay gave me constructive advice on how to make my home more desirable to a buyer with staging advice, repainting one of the bedrooms to a more neutral color, which cost me only minimal dollars and a small amount of time. She took lovely pictures of my home and also used seasonal personal pics of mine  In the listing. Placing my home on the local realtor tour which provided me with other community realtors' honest opinions of the pros and cons of my home was a bonus and a very helpful service. I loved that she sent me feedback surveys after every showing providing timely input of what buyers wanted.  Within 90 days of listing, when it came time for negotiations of an offer, she assisted me In securing the sale for the amount I needed. Lindsay was very professional, responsive to my many questions and happy to assist above and beyond in the sale of my home. She had a long list of reliable professionals in the field of repairs, cleaning and moving services, etc that are needed by a seller during the process. I highly recommend her and Frank M. Smith & Associates.

We were very disappointed in the motivation and professionalism by Nicole. Interested in purchasing…read moreproperty off-grid, we felt Nicole was very uninterested in working with us. In the end, although we found our home, it was not through her efforts. We did the leg-work and research! Although she did drive where we wanted to go. When checking in on her progress, she would ask if WE found anything of interest. If not, she would say, "Well, let me know if you find anything." We essentially had to beg her to be present at the inspection. RE Agents should be more motivated and helpful considering the ticket price of these homes. After the sale, Nicole simply disappeared. No follow-up, not even a token "house-warming gift" as is customary. For each previous home purchase (and sale, for that matter), we have enjoyed an attentive agent. She didn't bother to help with negotiations. Instead, she simply relayed Seller input and asked what we wanted to do. No advice whatsoever. Either she does not have the experience or simply does not care about meeting client needs. Only about the commission check. As it turns out, we over-paid for this property. She should have helped us take a closer look at the price considering the work that had to be put into even the infrastructure! It would appear to this home-buyer, that she was paid for our work. Fact is, home buyers tend to be overwhelmed with the process. It is the AGENTS job to help navigate. The mark of a good agent is one who is engaged and interested in their clients needs. Also someone who follows up and finds leads. With the number of properties on the market today, it seems to us that Nicole could have been more proactive. In negotiations, agents are usually more involved at least in the advising department with negotiations and inspections. As a side note, the SELLER'S agent checked on our progress after Closing and even lended a hand with a few things at the beginning.

I am glad I don't have a property that I really wanted to sell listed by these folks.

I encourage you to not use Century 21 Sunshine. I was warned by a family member, but I decided to…read moregive the company a chance to manage my property since I had already signed up with them. I could write a book on all the problems that came up through out the year. It started in the beginning where they promised things that they did not follow through on, they over billed me for maintenance, cleaning and repairs. They billed me for things that didn't have to be done. They didn't get my permission to replace tile, take out a shower door and replace it with a curtain. They just threw the materials in my backyard. Yet billed me for clean up and for labor. They charged me a few hundred dollars for yard cleanup, when I drove by ,the yard didn't look like it had work done. I could keep going but the bottom line is that they took advantage of me in the beginning. Later down the line after the tenant moved out I discovered the dryer was leaking water, glass shower door was completely removed without my knowledge, tenant had a dog and the dog peed all over the carpet that was recently replaced, home was not as clean as when the tenant moved in, tenant took some of the items I left behind and didn't report water damage or malfunctioning dryer. I'm wondering what I paid the management company for each month. When I call to discuss these things, Cliff said "I can't live with the tenant and control what she does." When I asked where my glass shower door went he said "It was never there." I'm having to clean the carpets, get the home cleaned, replace the glass shower door and dryer. I'm shocked. Isn't this what we pay a managment company for? We pay them to take care of your home and hold the tenant responsible for any damages? Another thing is that they never remember conversations, they do not follow through and scam you in false charges on repairs and clean up.
