This is going to be really lengthy. To put it simply, Amanda is the best agent in NEPA. She's new,…read moreshe's hungry, but she's extremely knowledgeable and you'd never know she hasn't been doing this all her life. We were first-time homebuyers, in a sorta unique buying situation. We found Amanda through another agent at the brokerage when we were really just curious about a property, with a "This isn't the right time, but if it's really a great deal, we'll buy" type of attitude. Amanda showed us the original property, then asked us what we were looking for as we walked out of the disaster. I gave her 3 very specific requirements. 1. Extremely cheap, like stupid cheap. So cheap you can't buy a luxury car cheap. 2. Unique. I don't want a cookie cutter house, I want something that is odd in a "no one will ever buy this" type of way. 3. A project, without actually being a project. Something move in ready, but could use me needing something to do on a weekend. She found 2 in the first day. We saw first one, loved it, but it didn't satisfy the one hidden requirement "Not fall down during a decent sized snow storm". The second one, matched all 3 known requirements and got me the water view I loved from the first one. I was sold. First offer, we told her to shoot low. She shot extremely low, just like it should be. We ended up buying for 10% over the seller's mortgage balance. With a nice clean inspection. We entered escrow on vacation. Trusted her to handle everything. Even with us sending the earnest deposit later than we should have and with it getting lost, Amanda ensured everything stayed on track and kept me from going insane while walking around Disney World. Inspection passed way better than we expected too (remember, this is a stupid cheap house). 36 hours before closing (scheduled for a Friday, where we had already scheduled things for the weekend), we find out we don't have two extremely important documents to close. I frantically text Amanda as I've been working all day to rectify the situation and had gotten nowhere. Amanda texted me back 3 minutes later, telling me we'd still close on Friday. I didn't believe her. No way in heck we were going to close. Friday morning, I still didn't expect to close. We closed Friday before lunch, with the best agent in NEPA.

Val walked me through every part of the VA loan and the buying procedure. She was with me every step of the way, answering every crazy question, and just being all around fantastic. She was very trustworthy, and straightforward. I never felt like she was pushing me into a situation that was uncomfortable or pressuring me in any way. She has a fabulous attitude, a great personality and fantastic sense of humor. I had a wonderful home buying experience and it's all because I had the best real estate agent for me. I can't commend her enough for taking what could've been a horrendously stressful process and making it fun and easy to negotiate. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Jesicca and Angie eased my anxiety throughout this process- they answered every question I had (and I definitely had a lot)! These 2 women were available any time- day or night.

It's been over a month since our closing and they still take the time to check in and see how we're doing. I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for an honest and caring realty firm. We will be a customer for life ! Thank you again Jesicca and Angie for being such amazing realtors and people!

The absolute best decision I have ever made with choosing a realtor was Dominic Bounsante. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable . He had 3 offers on the house the day we went into contract. We had some issues with the buyers bank and Dominic was on top of everything. I had neglected to cut the grass, so I called Dominic to see if he could refer a landscaper. He said he was on the way to the house to cut the grass himself. Who does that???? I wish I could give Dominic 10 stars as he deserves it. Thank you for everything Dominic. And if you need a realtor, don't bother with anyone else he is a superstar.

If you're looking for a great realtor, look no further than Susan Parrick of Lewith and Freeman…read moreReal Estate. We have sold a number of houses and worked with many different realtors but once we met Susan we knew we had found a gem. She was instrumental in the sale of our family home, getting us well over $500,000 in a soft real estate market before the real estate boom. She worked tirelessly to get the house sold quickly and for a great price. My husband was terminally ill at the time and Susan was caring and compassionate and really helped us through a difficult time. She became a great friend. With that in mind, I again chose Susan recently to sell a rental property I owned and again she did so much more to help make sure the sale went through. I now live out of town and Susan did so much for me so I did not have to make the 3 1/2 hour drive to Wilkes Barre. We closed in less than a month thanks to her efforts and I was very satisfied with the price we got and the entire process. I highly recommend Susan for all of your real estate needs. You will not be disappointed.

All I can say is that was the biggest mistake they made in the real estate arena. She was not only unprofessional, unprepared, but also rude beyond belief. After closing, which mind you was no thanks to her, she took no time to hassle the home owners on details of the selling that were out of their control. And all responsibility of the real-estate agent. On top of that, she cared more about was her personal bottom line profit and never bothered to negotiate for the seller. Overall, uncaring,untrustworthy, and greedy. Never would I ever trust her with a purchase again. Big or small.
