She made the whole process flow very easily. She stayed on top of things for us as we moved across the country to St. Louis. We successfully closed on our first choice house, and are very happy with the whole experience. It was emotionally trying, but Joanne actively helped us work through each step. We called, texted, emailed, tele-conferenced documents. Her organization was top-notch, we anticipated all time constraints (based on our flight, driving and moving schedules) and made all deadlines. We also used her recommendations for inspectors, mortgage brokers and workman for estimates and repairs. We felt very comfortable with all of these people and were impressed by how thoroughly each professional conducted their work. It was a relief to work with people who knew the area and market so well. I absolutely recommend Joanne. If we ever move, we will use her again.

I can't overestimate my esteem for Sarah Francois as a realtor. She accompanied and guided us…read morecompetently over the course of 11 months, as we faced a move complex in logistics and emotions. Sarah made herself available to an astonishing degree, proving steady and reliable and patient through the entire process--from our initial conversation to the closing.

She never overstepped with coaching, and yet she provided valuable guidance whenever we turned to her for her professional opinion. Sarah is eminently trustworthy. I appreciate her level of competence, her congeniality, and dedication to her clients.

It all started when Karen helped my parents sell their house in less than a day…read more.. I reached out to her to see if she'd be willing to come take a look at our house and help us determine what repairs and upgrades we'd need to do to maximize our sale price while minimizing time on the market. She was happy to help and her advice was spot on. We procrastinated and took our time getting our various projects done (that's how we roll), but Karen didn't pressure us, just checked in every few months to see how we were doing, even offering to come back out for another look whenever we were ready. Did I mention our house was in High Ridge? Anyway, about a year after the first visit, we asked her to come back out. Karen helped us make a few more decisions, and we finally landed on a "we'd like to be on the market by this date" date. Once we made it official, Karen listed our house--the pictures were fantastic--and we accepted an offer just about a week after going live. Karen helped us through the negotiation and inspection process too, recommending some really great (and affordable!) companies to do the work. Meanwhile, as our buyer's agent, Karen was ever-so patient with us as we looked at a bunch of houses, then suddenly revised our budget and looked at some more, then suddenly switched target areas and looked at even more. The absolute best thing was how great she is at identifying potential issues. It was kind of like bringing a home inspector along to every showing! We found "the one", made an offer, haggled a bit and yada yada yada, here we are, a year later, in our perfect house in the perfect area. We just couldn't have done it without Karen's help and expertise. AH-MAZING.

Karen is simply the best! We have sold and bought 2 times with her. She is attentive to the…read moredetails, and is VERY knowledgeable. There were multiple instances of details in the sale and closing that the other party's realtor was missing, and Karen caught them. That saved us time and money, and helped us to avoid headaches. Karen has a wide network of professionals to help you. From handymen to movers, she knows people to get you through the process of preparing your home for sale, listing it and closing the deal. This also applies to you buying your new home. I would recommend Karen to everyone I know!

Tara is an outstanding realtor, talented, motivated, and very effective. She was our broker selling…read morea late 19th century house, after we had moved out of the state. Its a great house and she correctly priced it (went into contract immediately with strong offers each time) but the contracts kept falling through for different reasons: first due to zoning issues scaring off the mortgage broker; second due to an unreasonable buyer; and third because the buyer's financing fell through at the end. Given all the challenges selling the home, we gained a lot of insight into how Tara solves problems. Throughout our relationship, she maintained high integrity and ethics (both to us and towards the buyers), was practical and goal oriented, and gave consistently good advice on how to handle all the situations that arose. For example, with the zoning issues she found an established local mortgage broker who would still finance the home, introduced would-be buyers to the broker, and included a financing clause so future buyers wouldn't back out due to squeamish brokers. It took a long time to get this house sold due to above-mentioned challenges, and Tara remained motivated to get the deal done. She also remained supportive and encouraging when I got stressed from the different difficulties with the sale, and was responsive to my specific requests. I would recommend Tara as either a buyer or seller broker. If you want someone knowledgeable and professional, who follows through on all steps of the process, choose Tara.

As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions and Natalie was always happy to help promptly. Natalie was so encouraging along the way; we really enjoyed her personality and approach. Everyone Natalie recommended (lender, title company, inspection) were amazing as well. When we found the house we wanted to buy, Natalie was incredible and did everything she could to get us across the finish line and an offer accepted. We were confident that she was doing all she could to work with sellers agents for our benefit, which was extremely reassuring. Once we were under contract, Kristin was amazing at keeping everything on track. The process was executed flawlessly on all accounts. Buying our house was a dream come true and we are so grateful for Natalie!

She knows so much about everything: from STL city schools to the maintenance required for old homes to the feasibility of renovation projects. She not only helped us find and successfully bid on a home we absolutely love (and during COVID at that), but we will also be benefiting from what we learned from her for years to come. The only down side to buying our house is that we don't get to hang out with Dawn every weekend anymore.

I got a letter recently, hand addressed to "Dear Neighbor" with no return address. I was nervous…read morebecause of all the weird stories I've read lately about anonymous neighbors sending passive aggressive snarks. So I was quite pissed, though relieved, that it was just a real estate person wanting my business. This letter from Shari Wray & Associates with Keller Williams Realty had a phone number and email but no business address. (But this Yelp page was the only one I found with her name attached to it.) The letter said that a home equity analysis was included, but there was none. I was going to just toss it in the mail but I thought it was so unprofessional to send a letter out without a return address, that was unnecessarily alarming and totally illegitimate looking. So, no, Shari Wray, you will not be getting my business.
