He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Krissie Hansmann and her sister Beth on a complex real…read moreestate transaction, and I cannot speak highly enough of their expertise, professionalism, and care. My family and I were looking for someone to guide us through selling my mother's house and finding her the perfect condominium in Jefferson Village (an active 55+ retirement community.) My mother's living situation was becoming dangerous. She was in a 5 BR house with too many stairs. She should have moved years ago, but the pandemic, and dad's terminal cancer, delayed her move multiple times. She reached an age where the thought of moving was overwhelming to the point it kept her awake at night. My brother and I needed the perfect realty team to assist with our mother's unique realty needs. I interviewed three realtors before deciding upon Jefferson Valley Realty. There was something about Krissie that stood out to me immediately. She is compassionate, energetic, and has a great sense of humor. She also uniquely understands the challenges of aging parents due to her own life experiences. We were originally going to use two real estate agents, but we were so impressed with Jefferson Valley Realty, we decided to use them for both sides of the transaction. It was the right choice. Krissie and Beth handled both sides of the transaction with ease, making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. One thing that stood out to me was Krissie and Beth's expertise in the Jefferson Valley area. As locals themselves, they have an intimate knowledge of the community. Mom had to see numerous place before she made up her mind. Krissie and Beth were endlessly patient: "It's okay. Now you are narrowing down the process of what you want." Mom was so specific in her preferences, I never thought we would find such a place. But, somehow, Krissie and Beth pulled off a miracle, and mom ended up in her dream condo. There are unique challenges when moving seniors. My mother had a lot of emotions tied up in her house. Every room of the house held memories. Krissie and Beth were able to approach the situation with compassion and understanding. They patiently listened to all of mom's concerns and even befriended her little dog. They were a constant source of reassurance and encouragement. There were added degrees of difficulty in moving out of the old house since the basement and shed needed building permits. Krissie guided us through the process of getting the permits we needed so we could close the deal. We would have been lost without their guidance. The dynamic duo also picked up the slack when others involved in the transaction didn't show the same dedication to their craft. They did whatever was necessary to ensure the two deals went through and mom could move into her new condo. Being local, Krissie knows the right people in the community. Whenever I needed someone, (movers, electrician, plumber, window washer, furniture removal, etc.), Krissie knew the right people. This help was invaluable since I live on the other side of the country and didn't know who to call. Krissie and Beth became more than real estate agents to us. They became like family during this emotional time of getting mom resettled. I cannot recommend Krissie and Beth enough. If you are looking for someone to guide you through the complex world of real estate, Krissie, Beth and Jefferson Valley Realty are a dream team.

I set a personal goal for myself that I would purchase a place of my very own before I turn 30…read more Since that day is rapidly approaching, I decided to really buckle down at the beginning of this year and search for a new place to call home. This really called for a lot of self-reflection on my part. Where do I want to live? What kind of property do I want to buy? How will it affect my commute to work? What's the meaning of life? Okay, maybe too philosophical - but nevertheless I needed to do some soul searching. I wanted to stay in a city (I can't do suburbs) - so financially the type of property that made the most sense for me was a co-op. Now that I had decided the type of property and location, next for me was finding an agent. Enter Lisa Bucolo - we hooked up through one of my mother's colleagues who worked with her in the past. After looking over the geographic areas she served, I thought she would be able to help me best choose a place. I have to admit I wasn't the most available person when it came to showings - my work schedule is all over the place so it was sometimes difficult for me to see properties, and I was really specific as to where I wanted to purchase which somewhat limited my choices. However, Lisa was always professional - she was quick to respond to emails and was flexible when it came to scheduling showings and any impromptu matters that came up. She's very knowledgable and answered all the questions I had through the buying process - she also recommended the company I used to finance my mortgage. This was the first time I had ever gone through the buying process, and Lisa did an awesome job guiding me through it. I would have no qualms about recommending her to a friend or using her again in the future.

My uncle, who is a real estate agent in Chicago, called a few offices in the area for us, to interview brokers. He said Suzanne would take good care of us, and he was right. She took a lot of time with us to understand exactly what it was we were looking for in a house. She was able to help us translate our feelings about specific houses and elements of the houses into what our priorities for a property were. Her suggested listings were always relevant, and helped to focus us on what we wanted. Once we found the house of our dreams, Suzanne really started to earn her commision! She did a lot of investigation into the property and the town records, and found some things that we were able to get corrected before closing (open permits, ect). Without her diligent work we could have had some real problems on our hands. In addition to all the work finding and helping us close on the house, we also closed right as the stay at home orders for COVID-19 were starting to take effect. Suzanne was incredibly helpful, picking up the keys for us (we had to do a closing in escrow as no one could get together in the lawyers offices), and delivering them to us when we moved in. Suzanne cares deeply about her clients and their happiness and is willing to go to great lengths to make sure they are satisfied. I hope we live in this house forever, but if we ever do want to sell it, I would not list it with anyone but her.
