As a first time homebuyer looking for a house during one of the craziest…read moretimes, Philippa was extremely helpful and more importantly brutally honest in the best way possible. She took the time to get to know me, what I was looking for and didn't waste time helping me find the place I can call home. She could tell within minutes of walking up to a property if it was worth a walk through or if we should move onto the next one. Philippa took the time to make sure I understood what to look for in a house as well as every part of the home buying process. When my initial offer didn't get accepted, she quickly negotiated details of my offer with the listing agent on a deal that worked out perfectly for everyone involved. If you want a realtor who knows what she's doing and can make anything in the home buying/selling process a breeze, Philippa is the best.

I was 100% apprehensive about starting the process for the first time and I walked away 100% amazed it was as easy and nice as she made it. Janet and Susie are people you actually enjoy spending time with, and at the same time they are extremely skilled at what they do. Janet's insights and guidance were on point. Susie made all the admin work I'd spent years hearing people warn me about quick, easy, and painless. Both of them were always willing to do whatever we needed. I always felt comfortable and confident in their hands. We came to Janet preapproved with another mortgage broker but she suggested we consider using her contact Tyler, and just like the rest of her advice it served us so well. She has done a great job at creating a network that works fast and well together to take care of each step of the process. Working as a team, they made the entire experience seamless. I would recommend Janet to anyone, no matter your budget or situation. I looked forward to working with her again in the future as we plan to be lifelong clients.

Heidi Joy was exactly the kind of realtor I was looking for. She was GOD-SENT. I was able to tell…read moreher my plans, needs and wants, and she took the ball and ran with it. I could let go of the need to control, knowing she indeed had my best interest in mind. I couldn't believe how responsive she was. When she involved her team, she remained in the loop in a 3-way chat; she remained my main point of contact, never disappearing and giving my project to someone I didn't know. I appreciated that either she, or her team, returned my calls and texts in a very timely manner, regardless of the time. If we were both up late, we would talk, even if it was 10pm. I LOVED her team. They were all properly introduced to me and each one explained their part in the process. Jeannette Twachtmann did a fantastic job of staging my condo; she created such a beautiful scene that I almost hated to leave. Taylor Stratton was instrumental in coordinating and communicating between seller and buyer's teams. All in all, one of the best experiences in condo sales. Much better than the fiasco I experienced 5 years ago with another Agency. Thank God for Heidi Joy!

I've been fortunate to have known Rick Goodridge and his family for many years and although I am…read morenot in the market for a new home, I wanted to let people know that all the great comments you may have heard or read about Rick are definitely true. After reading some of the testimonials his customers and other Realtors have written about him, I had to add my own personal comments. When Rick told me that he was going to get his real estate license, I knew he would be the kind of Realtor that everyone talks highly about. Anyone who knows him will tell you what a great guy he is, but he is so much more when it comes to business. He also has a tough side to him. Rick is very professional and always willing to give 100% to everyone he works with. He is crazy about the details and doesn't give up until he accomplishes each and every task. His customer's goals become his goals, and his customers truly benefit from that quality! He has had a very successful sales career and his strong knowledge of sales and negotiation is second to none. He treats people with respect and kindness. Even when he is getting someone to do something they weren't expecting to do. LOL He knows how to win! When I am ready to purchase my next home, Rick will be the only Realtor I will consider. If you are looking to buy or sell, do yourself a favor and reach out to Rick Goodridge. Obviously, his customers are glad they did.

Selling or buying real estate nowadays has really become like planning a wedding…read more In that regard, a realtor is very similar to a wedding planner who must, with pleasant demeanor, exceed the expectations of the client while successfully navigating the demands of so many other parties whose interests conflict with their client's. And they have only one chance. There are no do-overs. It is in that light I am happy to congratulate Rick for the great job he did for my wife and me. We'd decided a couple of years ago that we would steadily get our house fixed up and then move. We put a new roof, AC, hot water heater, plumbing, carpet, and paint in/on the house. Rick did some great pricing analysis and was waiting to pull the trigger on our listing. But suddenly, my job situation changed drastically, and we had to go dark for a few weeks. Once resolved, the market began changing very quickly, which required someone who knew how to adjust, what to prioritize, and how to go to market. As we went to market, the real estate market continued to change significantly by the day. Rick was never phased, always had the answers we needed, and advised us how to proceed through such a rapidly changing market. He was always able to get great feedback from potential buyers that allowed us to make, or delay, decisions as necessary. He worked very hard to adjust the strategy to what the market was demanding. We had great exposure, and countless showings. But my wife and I were reluctant to adjust to the knowledge Rick was sharing out of our own stubbornness. Once we followed his lead, Rick was successfully able to match us to an interested buyer. Then Rick's true value became even more apparent. Though our buyer was a very shrewd, detail-oriented buyer, Rick was able to close the gap between the asking price and the offered price in a way that was very favorable to us. He negotiated a fantastic deal against a very formidable opponent. As the close process proceeded, Rick was asked to make changes to almost every aspect of the deal (credits/allowances/financing re-arrangements/date changes/etc.) So much was demanded of him, but he stood firm, and in every case, was able to negotiate a favorable outcome for us. His expertise made my wife and I very comfortable at a time when we might not have been if Rick had not been in control. After finally reaching a contract, Mother Nature decided to come to the table in the form of Hurricane Ian. Once again, Rick stood firm, and didn't let anything jeopardize the sale. The storm caused some damage to our newly installed roof that needed to be repaired. While having plenty of family, friends, and a community of his own to help after an event that disastrous, Rick stopped by our house to survey the damage, prepared a report for us, and had solutions all by the time he called us the next morning. It was a remarkable level of commitment. He already had our business. He already had done everything he needed to do to finalize the contract. But in a tough circumstance, he put himself in our shoes, and did everything and more to help make us whole. We completed our sale in mid-December after hurdle after hurdle caused by a rapidly changing economic market, our pricing inflexibility, a very demanding buyer, and catastrophic weather events. We did so because Rick beat every one of them. Without him, I know for a fact that our result would not have been as fruitful as it was. His leadership, knowledge, service, and commitment are what makes him second to none. Yes, Rick's a hell of a nice guy to talk to. I'm confident he'll be a friend for every day God gives each of us. But I'm not offering this testimonial of Rick to those looking for a friend. I'm offering this to anyone looking for confidence to win their deal and do so with little or no stress. If you want the best deal, and don't want to worry about whether you are getting it, call Rick. Selling and buying homes is a very difficult and stressful event. Hiring Rick, on the other hand, is easy. We're sure glad we did

The website is very misleading and everyone should be very careful and never file out any information there because they will charge you even if you never press submit button. They will post your property on mls with many mistakes and some additional fees hidden in it, like additional 2% commission to a non transaction broker. I wonder who is non-transaction broker in the case if the property sells, probably Jack Keller company itself. Plus 2% fees to transaction broker and another 2% some other broker. 6% total in commission fees if the property sells it looks like. Why not to just work with a traditional real estate agent who will do all the work for you and only will get the commission when the property sells? Plus Jack Keller charges another $495 some additional fees if the property sells. Everyone should know about these fraudulent and non fair tactics of this horrible company. I wasted $155 with them and 40 days and no one ever was able to call me. First of all they are charging more then many other mls flat fee listing companies. They don't even have call forwarding service, which means no one can ever reach you with them and also it is hard for potential buyers to find out the seller's number.
