We were so fortunate to have found Heather Brunoehler (which is a realtor thru Swanson Real…read moreEstate). My husband and I were on the market for our first home. Heather helped us find the right house and for the right price. Us being first time home buyers, we had many questions. Heather was very patient with us about everything. She answered all our questions and helped so much with the process from beginning to end. What was truly exceptional to us is that Heather was truly focused on helping us find the perfect first home, answering our questions and giving us great advice. She never made us feel rushed, or that we were bothering her. She never made it seem like she was rushing the deal. If you are looking to sell or purchase a home, I would highly recommend Heather Brunoehler as your Realtor.

For the reviewer below to even suggest that Jim Swanson is "grossly unprofessional" is so absolutely ridiculous I cannot even find words to respond. These are two honorable, hard working and ethically motivated individuals who will bend over backwards to help you find your home and hold your hand thru the myriad of ups and downs which inevitably occur during the process. I have experienced other agents, and they cannot hold a candle to the quality of services you will receive from Linda and Jim!

We really appreciated her all of the research and time she put into coming up with what we needed to do in order to sell our home.

From our first conversation, it was clear she stood out--not just as a partner, but as a trusted advisor. Selling my Chicago bungalow came with challenges, but Donna's expertise and team-based "Go Get'em" approach made the process clear. Her pricing strategy was thoughtful, data-driven and designed to attract strong, qualified buyers--without underpricing. The team helped me prep efficiently, with cost-effective staging advice using my own furniture, and referrals for quick repairs and cleaning. Marketing was top-notch. Vicky oversaw photography to highlight key features, and their well-written listing drew serious interest. Even with open houses scheduled during Super Bowl weekend, turnout was impressive, thanks to smart planning and Danielle's seamless handling of traffic and buyer questions. Within days, I had multiple offers above listing price. Donna's negotiation skills ensured I understood the pros and cons of each offer and secured the best outcome. From start to closing, the team was supportive and responsive and always had my best interest at heart. I'm so grateful I found Donna, Danielle, and Vicky--and I recommend them without hesitation.

The following is the letter that I sent to Nicole & Tony (Owners of Wheatland Realty) in thanks for…read moretheir efforts in my home purchase in December of 2017: My dear friend Nicole, Please accept this letter of thanks and gratitude for your wonderful work and contributions on the recent purchase of our new home. I can't begin to tell you how great it feels to finally be back in a position that I have a home of my own once again. You helped to make that happen and your contributions are without question. The level of insight, expertise, hope and steadfast resolve that you displayed on a consistent basis helped to calm me and guide me through this process. Your recommendations on whom to build the team with were second to none as well! At the risk of sounding dramatic, I wanted say from the very bottom of my heart that I am grateful to know you and appreciate much about you. People like us can be (as I've been told), polarizing. I suppose that's a nice way of saying they either love us or hate us. I'm OK with that and have learned that I'm attracted to others like myself, with similar styles and values. I couldn't be happier that I know you. Furthermore, I believe that life is cyclical and that what goes around, comes around. You showed trust, kindness and respect to me during a time of of such deep change that you couldn't possibly know. That kindness was never forgotten. I couldn't be happier to know that I was able to provide you with business and that you were able to provide me with you (and Tony's) experience and service. I realize it's just a house, but for me, it represents six years of struggle, recovery and healing. I am so pleased and thankful that part of that journey began with you and in one of it's happiest moments, was shared with you. You're a good woman, mother, wife and business woman Nicole. You make contributions to people's lives every day in some way, shape or form. This, at minimum, is something to be admired, if not cherished. I'm proud to call you my friend and I couldn't be happier that we were able to do business together. I wish you, your husband Tony and your son Tony Jr. nothing but the very best of all things! For myself, my boys Kyle & Luke, and of course BigE, we thank you! We thank you! We thank you! -mM

Then the dreaded letter from the insurance company. Thanks for messing with my insurance coverage and never following up with me. Epic fail and terrible customer service. Do not use. All you'll see is your money riding around town on the owners boat. EDIT - See comment below. More lies, once they got me to sign, I never heard from this company again. No, hey you got denied, no follow up anything. 4/8/26 Edit again, Now the owner of the company is sending me FB messages calling me a bum......... Real professionalism 4/24/26 After my 4/8/26 edit about ownership sending me a FB message, I received multiple calls from ownership calling me out after their poor practices. I was told "he" would figure something out to make this entire situation right. Well, as you might have guess, 3 weeks have gone by and not a single word. Wish you could leave negative stars. I suppose I'll be sending the contract and details to the BBB cause this company earns negative points and they certainly don't deserve their ratings. This organization is a joke and an embarrassment to the community they supposedly serve. Pretty sad when the storm chasers prove to be more reliable than a local roofing company. 6/24/26 Additional review items. This guy has zero business ethic or common sense. Today, Kyle and another employee from recrafted followed me into another local business where Kyle confronted me. In an attempt to walk away he gets in my face and started telling me about what a piece of shit I am. Then as I continued attempt to walk away he begins to tell me that he has me figured out all this while being in my face. Claims about my children and relationships, makes me wonder who he's hanging out with from the sounds of his mouth running. The other business owner had to physically remove this psychopath and asked me to return to his store for my safety.

All of the team are very friendly and make you feel comfortable during a really stressful transition. I remember our first home search. My wife and I had spoken with 2 realtors before meeting David and neither gave us much confidence. Neither seemed particularly knowledgeable and during home showings seemed to be there just to open the door. On a couple occasions realtors took us to see houses that didn't meet needs we specified in advance. David came prepared with a folio of homes in the area we were interested in. It was a nice touch to have all the listings were going to see, with their details, in our hands as we looked around. As we did our home search, David was quick to point to home elements that were pros and cons. He took a genuine interest in studying each house and giving opinions. The team has always been quick to answer questions, keep the home sale organized, and have been able to refer us to top quality contractors when needed. You really can't go wrong with Shallow Team.
