Vicki Bechen was the buyer's realtor for the house we were selling and she's been very difficult to…read morework with. She doesn't seem to have a solid understanding of the paperwork involved. I sent a release of mortgage to be reviewed by the attorney that prepared the title opinion and got a long message about how I needed to have a payoff quote outlining down to the penny how much would be owed at time of closing. I had to remind her we wouldn't need a payoff letter if the mortgage release stated it was paid in full. Which she then agreed was correct. She also asked if she could put a sale pending sign in our yard (with her contact information of course) a month before closing was set to occur. We explained she could after closing but until then we only wanted our sign out there so other buyers could call us. That way if the closing fell through, we had the contact information for any other interested parties. My husband drove by a few days later to find her sign in the yard. He put it in the garage. A week later, Vicki was there and again put her sign in the yard despite our requests not to. When I talked to her on the phone the day of closing, she was snide in commenting on the fact that my husband had taken the sign down again. Overall, it wasn't a pleasant transaction on our end. I understand she was the realtor for the buyer but when everyone is in agreement on a purchase and happy, there's no reason it should be made difficult.

We had a great experience with Brad Brissley from Brissey Realty. From the beginning he got to know…read moreus and our wants and needs for our first house. He never tried to sell us on a house like a lot of other realtors we had worked with. If a house didn't sit with what we were looking for, he did his best to find us one that would. Very professional. Would definitely work with him again! He was never pushy and never tried to talk us into something we weren't looking for. Strongly recommend him :)

Cody Burger helped us relocate to Dubuque during a time when the housing market was tight and…read moreinventory was limited. From the start, he was an excellent listener who truly understood our needs and preferences. One particular listing raised red flags for us, and Cody worked with us to craft a smart strategy to investigate a suspected plumbing issue the seller hadn't disclosed. Sure enough, our concerns were confirmed--his insight and strategic thinking saved us from a potential headache. Throughout the process, Cody made everything easier with his professionalism, sharp instincts, and local knowledge. As out-of-state buyers, we were especially grateful for his network of trusted service partners. Thanks to his referral, we found a great home and auto insurance policy that gave us peace of mind. If you're buying or selling in the Dubuque area, Cody is the real deal. We're so glad we had him on our side!

The pond is home to a large flock of Canadian Geese and quite often in the spring, little goslings will be poking around the place looking for food. I would give it a perfect rating, except the complex owner will not invest in much needed repairs, replacements or upgrades. That is the other great aspect with the manager. She finds a way to work miracles around that place and treats everyone as her own family. It is the most inviting atmosphere in any apartment complex I have found in or around Dubuque. Penn Place is the perfect first place to start in Dubuque. Two things the complex desperately needs is playground equipment and some picnic tables.

Sade was the third and final realtor that I worked with in my home-buying journey. I am not sure…read morewhy, but the previous two realtors did not seem to want to sell me a home. Upon initially working with them, they asked me for my top budget and email address for their program that would auto-generate and send me random listings (not even remotely within the area I wanted to live). They told me to let them know if I ever saw anything I liked. I sent a list of a few houses that caught my eye and I'm not kidding you that one of them told me they wouldn't show me the house that I actually ended up purchasing because it was too far of a drive for them (45 minutes). Sade's initial phone call (she also does text if you don't prefer talking on the phone) - she asked me what I was looking for in a home, how many bedrooms I needed, and what my specific needs were for the home, etc. She then traveled what felt like the countryside with me on a time crunch of ONE DAY and looked at 8 properties. The home I purchased had EVERYTHING I could have ever dreamed of and I still wake up, 2 weeks later, feeling like I have the perfect home for me. She worked to get me under budget and every. single. thing. on my wishlist. Sade was easy to work with, had a fun sense of humor, took care of ALL the little things, and was open to any questions that I had. She gave great advice and recommendations along the way and went far out of her way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted within my budget. She was extremely knowledgable, honest, and professional - I would recommend her to EVERYONE and even asked her for a stack of business cards at closing so I could have them on hand. Sade once again went out of her way and went leaps and bounds beyond the other realtors I was going to work with. She made the experience personal and enjoyable from start to finish. Although I am just getting settled, I hope she will be the realtor to sell my house and help me look for my next later!

She was always available to discuss the process, gave us great tips for selling our home in Arizona (that totally worked!), and got our new home set up so that when we arrived, we would have the basic necessities waiting for us, which made for a very warm welcome!
