From the very beginning, they laid out a clear strategy and walked us through their process with confidence and professionalism. We trusted their approach completely -- and it paid off. Thanks to their expertise and execution, our home sold for nearly 25% over the asking price. Cristina and Les communicated with us every step of the way. We always felt informed, supported, and genuinely treated as partners in the process. Their work ethic is exceptional. They went above and beyond in preparing, marketing, and managing every detail of the sale. They truly operate as concierge realtors -- coordinating improvements, guiding presentation decisions, and making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. They handled the heavy lifting so we could focus on the bigger picture. We would absolutely work with Cristina and Les again for any future real estate needs. If you are looking for trusted professionals who deliver outstanding results, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

I could tell she was genuinely committed to getting us the best deal possible, and she delivered--the final sale price came in way above our listing price. Carmen knows the market, works incredibly hard, and truly cares about her clients. I honestly wouldn't have wanted anyone else representing us. Thank you Carmen and thank you, Fohl.

We're especially grateful for their guidance, which not only saved us time and eased our anxiety, but also led to decisions that saved us a significant amount of money.

Plus when you are very scared and buyers have made you feel your home is a bad place, she will talk you down from the fear and assure you this is part of the selling process.

James Esmeyer is not the average realtor…read more For one, his personality and humor made our buying and selling processes - dare I say - fun! As first time buyers, we came in with a LOT of questions and were pretty overwhelmed by all of the interest in our target area. He gently took the lead to help us navigate a competitive market, using his decades of local insight and experiences to inform our search and negotiate all of the financial details from our offer amount down to seller credits. After seeing him work with the seller and our HOA, we were extremely glad to have him on our side as he was able to advocate for multiple minor issues that, by no coincidence, ended up in our favor. He was exactly what we needed to help us pull the trigger at the right times while never being pushy, was ready to run the distance when we were ready to go, and was very encouraging despite us feeling outpaced by the market. He always made us feel comfortable and like we were in the driver's seat, showing us property after property until we found the right one, only offering his opinions when we asked for them and letting us steer as much as we felt comfortable. He prayed with us through the most nail-biting moments of our journey, sat next to us when we needed guidance and support, laughed with us when we needed a lighter perspective, and celebrated with us when we finally made it home. We recently reached out to him again to help us buy our second home and sell our first. Again, we couldn't say enough things about his fun, non judgmental style and how he has been the perfect combination of friendly neighborhood guide, tough business negotiator, and helpful advocate. Knowing that he was taking care of all of our business matters gave us so much relief and peace of mind since we trust him 100% to stay on top of the details and act in our best interests. We wish there were an "Uncle James" to help climb every mountain of life, and couldn't be more grateful for him and all of his hard work, patience, guidance, and care for our family.
