Sandie is the only real estate professional you should even consider…read more Sandie helped us prepare, list and sell our house with professionalism. Her knowledge of real estate and the St. Louis market are extremely strong and it makes the entire process go so much smoother. There were times where we got nervous and she was always there to talk us down. During negotiations she kept us from giving too much and saved us thousands of dollars. She is smart, professional and pleasant to work with. This is why we have hired her to help us sell two houses over the years and in both cases we can't imagine anyone else doing as good a job. We can't recommend her strongly enough.

We were buyers on a transaction for which Sandie Hea was the listing agent…read more We have purchased a few properties here in the US (in both California and Missouri) and out of the country (in Costa Rica). In fact, for a little over 2 years I worked in a very busy CA real estate office as both part of the transaction process and in the escrow department. We are no strangers to how transactions can and should go. Working with Sandie Hea blew all of those norms to smithereens. Throughout the process she was disrespectful and either deceitful or poorly informed. Kindness forces me to consider that she just didn't really understand what the seller wanted but if I weren't being kind, I would say that her behavior during the transaction was potentially deliberately deceitful and ethically corrupt. Her communications to our agent were rude, unprofessional, and when it mattered, on issues of real transactional substance, were, at best, poorly considered, and at worse, intentional deceptions. If something crazy happens and Sandie Hea is the only agent available in the world to work with, if my husband and ever decide to sell our house, the only contact with her I would have would be to ask her to move so that I could reach the For Sale By Owner sign. And for clarity's sake, I'm in St. Louis, though my description suggests I'm in SF. *** Below is an edit to my initial review based on Sandie Hea's comments *** To clarify, I didn't say you communicated with us. I said the way you communicated was disrespectful, unprofessional, and potentially duplicitous. Your response that says you never communicated directly with us is true. But you must be aware that I am aware of how you communicated with our agent, the words you used and the tone of those words. Therefore, you must be aware that I know you were unprofessional and disrespectful to our agent. Like, you get that, right? So when you told my agent that the seller was filing an insurance claim and repairing the roof based on our Request for Repairs, and then later had us pick out a color for the roof tiles, we took you at your word that a new roof would be installed prior to close of escrow. There was no "confusion" as you suggest in your response. It was clear. You said that. But you never provided the approval on the request for repairs, despite being asked multiple times. You never had your seller sign it. But on the last day of contingency removal, rather late in the day, you informed our agent that the seller was NOT going to be repairing the roof after-all, despite what you very clearly said, and despite having a roofer ready to go and an approved insurance claim already processed. So when you defend your actions by saying you were only doing what the law requires, which is to do what your client wants, you're basically saying it was the seller's idea to offer us less than 50% of the actual cost of the roof replacement, and at the 11th hour. You're basically saying that it was the seller's idea to, if we didn't agree by the end of that night, re-list the property for sale? You're basically saying that it was the seller's idea to go ahead and process the insurance claim and pocket the money rather than actually fix the roof, costing us even more money in the transaction. You're basically saying that these were all the seller's ideas, despite having a professional roofer and insurance inspector tell the seller that the roof needed to be replaced, that you didn't advise, suggest, or otherwise navigate a course of action? How stupid do you think we are? How little regard you must have for other people. I stand by my review, and, while well crafted, your response fails to address what I said. All it does, and I mean ALL it does, is deflect from two core realities: You communicated horribly and unprofessionally during this transaction. You behaved in ways that are, at best, ethically blurry, and, at worst, broke MLS guidelines and violated national standards for Realtors.

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.

This also applies to you buying your new home. I would recommend Karen to everyone I know!

Mark is VERY disrespectful and unprofessional! Claimed I lied about my realtor contacting him!…read more My realtor and I tried contacting Mark and Becci to get more info on one of their listings which had been posted for 3 days and after several attempts and voicemails left we were unable to make contact with them. My realtor wanted to see if we could see it that afternoon or if there were already offers on the place. After being unable to contact them or schedule a time to see it I along with my realtor followed up the next morning. I went to their office and they were not there and the others in the space said they would leave a message to get back with me. I then tried calling from their lobby. When I finally got ahold of Mark he called me a liar about trying to contact him and trying to see the place. Also said he only would speak with my realtor even tho Becci and Marks numbers are listed on the Zillow posting. Additionally my realtor was not able to get ahold of them and left messages to be contacted. He proceeded to tell me again I had lied about trying to contact him and my realtor was a problem for him and he didn't want to discuss further with me. I asked if he could call my realtor back and he said that was not his job. I proceeded to end the call after being treated with ZERO respect! Do not trust this guy or his unprofessional team!

Oh, and add that it's your first home and you're relocating from another state... what a time! Mark & Kim made this huge moment in our lives as seamless as possible. Mark made sure we were informed buyers by exposing us to the market and answering tons of questions along the way. Since we were relocating, I was driving from Indiana for the showings. Mark was always willing to fill our looking days with showings, which was very appreciated since I know most people don't see near as many houses. Given the very strong seller's market and low inventory, we had to submit a few offers before getting accepted. Mark always encouraged us to stay within our comfort zone when submitting offers. Ultimately, we ended up with a gorgeous home that checked every box, so it was well worth it. After going under contract for our home, Kim was our primary contact. With the many pieces involved in this part of the home buying process, I have no idea how people do it without an agent. Kim was on top of everything, we barely had to lift a finger. She also was readily available to answer questions, explain the process, and even give us insight to our new neighborhood. You can tell she loves helping people get into a new home! Our advice: Hire them. You're looking at their reviews. You see we are far from the first people to be extremely satisfied with their work. Promise, they are the real deal. We are so thankful for them, and already know we want to work with them in the future when the time comes to move on.
