They were extremely knowledgable and patient as we looked at over 20 homes over a 6 month period before making our first purchase, they even took us via boat to give us the view from the lake at the homes were we considering. You should ask for this service, it gives you a great understanding of the lake in helping you make your decision. Top notch agency!

Although I haven't found my perfect home yet, Craig has shown me through numerous houses over a…read moreperiod of a couple years. He maintains a positive and helpful attitude at all times, and works hard to get me into a showing as soon as possible when I'm under scheduling restraints. He doesn't try to cover up possible flaws (all homes have them!), and has given me respectful input when he felt a property wasn't quite right for me. In addition, he has knowledge and experience with many aspects of home construction, so I have been able to ask him questions regarding plumbing, electric, roofing, insulation, etc., while viewing a property and gotten answers on the spot. He follows up with my questions for the seller quickly and accurately. I recommend him highly and with no reservations for real estate needs.

We had an average stay at the place we rented on Chautauqua Lake. Place was overall clean and…read moreconvenient to places. Parking was nice. We went through ERA Team VP. They were decent at responding. Docking here with a boat at the home was in very shallow water. We stayed near Jamestown. We overall had a good time. The reason I'm only giving a few stars is because we feel they didn't properly communicate to us a few things such as lack of AC on the first floor, a poor bed situation, and very shady and minimal directions and a cheaply made shower which caused the curtain to fall. Just looks like they cut some corners and they aren't up front with things. We tried to get a refund, they wouldn't respond to a refund-they just said tough luck. That's what you get when you rent I guess...will I rent again from them-probably not, but I will visit Chautauqua again. It's a learning experience to now quadruple check every single detail for the future if I rent. Thank you for the good stay overall.

What a lovely office and great staff. Rexford (Rex) Rater and his wife are so phenomenal. I…read moreprimarily worked with Rex, but his wife Sandra did talk with me about a house and she was great as well. Very helpful and honest people. I couldn't ask for a better realtor than Rex. He was fast and friendly with no pressure. I could text him any time and he got back to me with a schedule in no time. I've worked with other realtors long ago through priemer listings and didn't find a good match until now. I'm the wrong person to pressure or wait around a week for a response. Thankfully I found a better match with Real Estate Advantage and the Raters. I LOVE MY NEW HOUSE! They made finding and buying my home a smooth, fast, and painless process. Do yourself a favor and go with Rex or his wife!

As new home owners my husband and I needed to work with a company that would guide us and was honest. We were very lucky to find such a trustworthy crew to build our garage. They were quick to solve any problems we had, and answer questions. I highly suggest using them for your construction needs.
