I've had the pleasure of working with Julie to both sell and buy properties. She has been by my…read moreside for single-family homes, undeveloped land, and condo transactions--and she's been flawless with every one of them. Most recently, I purchased a home in St. Louis while stationed in New York City, and Julie took care of everything I needed in my absence. She attended my showings and inspections, provided detailed updates with videos, photos, and descriptions, and was always ready to answer any questions or investigate further to ensure I was getting exactly what I wanted (and more!) during negotiations. This time around, I was nervous about buying my next home "sight unseen" from over 1,000 miles away, but with Julie handling every detail, I felt confident that my interests were protected, and I didn't need to wait until I was back in town. When I sold my North City home and land earlier this year, Julie encouraged me to list for well more than I initially thought was realistic--and she was spot on. I was under contract within a week and closed six weeks later with full-price, all-cash offer. I walked away with a substantial profit thanks to her sage wisdom, expertise, and tenacity. Whether you're buying or selling, in Missouri or Illinois, Julie will make your priorities her own. I highly recommend Julie Carter as your next agent and Realtor.

Jen Oliver is a ROCK SOLID realtor. She shows up professionally and authentically for her clients…read moreevery day. I am so thankful for her care and support throughout my home buying search. Thanks to Jen's industry and negotiating skills we ultimately found our dream home, and even ended up coming in under budget! We wanted a realtor who could match our intentions of positivity and kindness during this process, and show compassion for all of the players that we had to collaborate with throughout (sellers, buyers, brokers, mortgage officers, etc.) While interviewing realtors we found a lot who appear farther on the scale of greedy or unauthentic, seemingly wanting to push us to make fast decisions so they can get onto their next task. Jen always encouraged us to take our time making our own choices. She was so great about talking through all of our options, patiently answering our questions, and giving us pros/cons for each - but ultimately always had us make our own decisions independently. Then whatever decision we came to, Jen supported us whole heartedly every single time. The first conversation I had with Jen as my realtor she told me that through this process there would be moments of panic and stress, and that it would be ok to call her and vent or yell anytime. Unknowing at the time how stressful the first time home buying process can be, I thought 'that doesn't really sound like me...' Low and behold... the day came when I was calling Jen in a full panic attack in the middle of the night ( and then again at 7 AM in the morning). Her calming demeanor and patience was exactly what we needed to get us through those more difficult/time sensitive issues. Jen has a beautiful balance between being casual enough to text or call with random thoughts & questions and have a real human connection with; while also staying consistently professional enough to get through the lawyer jargon and ins and outs of the business. She also shows up as a professional via being so well connected in the industry. Jen had recommendations for contacts for every step. For example she set us up with a fantastic inspector, who was careful and thorough during his walkthrough and so patient answering all of our questions. Another incredible way Jen showed up for us is the way she responded to last minute emergencies - for example we received our title survey only a few days before closing, and were told our building extended onto the neighbors property line by half a foot. Jen promptly contacted the sellers realtor and broker to ask questions and get us more information on how to mitigate the issue. She even offered to pay for and deliver the easement deed herself! Luckily it did not come down to that, and we were provided the signed easement deed well before closing. Jen also has a rock solid team to help support her. Jess and Jamie help with logistics and stepping in for the moments when Jen can't be in two places at once (though she tries!). The level of care and compassion they have for each other, which bleeds directly into all of their client relationships, is clearly something that would never be accomplishable working with a large corporation or real estate firm. They show up with the resources and information that you would receive from a large corporation, but with a much higher level of customer service and individual care. I cannot praise Jen Oliver Real Estate highly enough to truly express all of my gratitude for their support during this process. Thank you for everything! Elizabeth & Keegan

We listed our home on a Thursday and by Monday morning had over a dozen offers, with multiple of them over the listing price. If that isn't skill and success, I don't know what is.

Sandie is the only real estate professional you should even consider…read more Sandie helped us prepare, list and sell our house with professionalism. Her knowledge of real estate and the St. Louis market are extremely strong and it makes the entire process go so much smoother. There were times where we got nervous and she was always there to talk us down. During negotiations she kept us from giving too much and saved us thousands of dollars. She is smart, professional and pleasant to work with. This is why we have hired her to help us sell two houses over the years and in both cases we can't imagine anyone else doing as good a job. We can't recommend her strongly enough.

We were buyers on a transaction for which Sandie Hea was the listing agent…read more We have purchased a few properties here in the US (in both California and Missouri) and out of the country (in Costa Rica). In fact, for a little over 2 years I worked in a very busy CA real estate office as both part of the transaction process and in the escrow department. We are no strangers to how transactions can and should go. Working with Sandie Hea blew all of those norms to smithereens. Throughout the process she was disrespectful and either deceitful or poorly informed. Kindness forces me to consider that she just didn't really understand what the seller wanted but if I weren't being kind, I would say that her behavior during the transaction was potentially deliberately deceitful and ethically corrupt. Her communications to our agent were rude, unprofessional, and when it mattered, on issues of real transactional substance, were, at best, poorly considered, and at worse, intentional deceptions. If something crazy happens and Sandie Hea is the only agent available in the world to work with, if my husband and ever decide to sell our house, the only contact with her I would have would be to ask her to move so that I could reach the For Sale By Owner sign. And for clarity's sake, I'm in St. Louis, though my description suggests I'm in SF. *** Below is an edit to my initial review based on Sandie Hea's comments *** To clarify, I didn't say you communicated with us. I said the way you communicated was disrespectful, unprofessional, and potentially duplicitous. Your response that says you never communicated directly with us is true. But you must be aware that I am aware of how you communicated with our agent, the words you used and the tone of those words. Therefore, you must be aware that I know you were unprofessional and disrespectful to our agent. Like, you get that, right? So when you told my agent that the seller was filing an insurance claim and repairing the roof based on our Request for Repairs, and then later had us pick out a color for the roof tiles, we took you at your word that a new roof would be installed prior to close of escrow. There was no "confusion" as you suggest in your response. It was clear. You said that. But you never provided the approval on the request for repairs, despite being asked multiple times. You never had your seller sign it. But on the last day of contingency removal, rather late in the day, you informed our agent that the seller was NOT going to be repairing the roof after-all, despite what you very clearly said, and despite having a roofer ready to go and an approved insurance claim already processed. So when you defend your actions by saying you were only doing what the law requires, which is to do what your client wants, you're basically saying it was the seller's idea to offer us less than 50% of the actual cost of the roof replacement, and at the 11th hour. You're basically saying that it was the seller's idea to, if we didn't agree by the end of that night, re-list the property for sale? You're basically saying that it was the seller's idea to go ahead and process the insurance claim and pocket the money rather than actually fix the roof, costing us even more money in the transaction. You're basically saying that these were all the seller's ideas, despite having a professional roofer and insurance inspector tell the seller that the roof needed to be replaced, that you didn't advise, suggest, or otherwise navigate a course of action? How stupid do you think we are? How little regard you must have for other people. I stand by my review, and, while well crafted, your response fails to address what I said. All it does, and I mean ALL it does, is deflect from two core realities: You communicated horribly and unprofessionally during this transaction. You behaved in ways that are, at best, ethically blurry, and, at worst, broke MLS guidelines and violated national standards for Realtors.
