We could not be more thrilled to have had the chance to work with Bob. Not only is he TREMENDOUSLY…read moreknowledgeable about the State College market, he is one of the nicest and most patient people I have ever met--and EXTREMELY trustworthy.  From the very beginning, he listened to our needs and worked diligently and tirelessly to make our home-buying dreams come true. He is very responsive (Bob, do you sleep!?) and extremely connected in the area. He is so dedicated to his clients that he actually was going to postpone a vacation just to look at a last-minute listing for us! He is just that type of person! As out-of-state purchasers, it was vital that we felt 110% comfortable buying a home sight unseen.   In an extremely competitive real estate market, Bob was invaluable to our success. Even after we closed, he has continued to go above and beyond to provide us with a list of painters, plumbers, movers, and beyond. Bob, thank you. It was a really fun experience and we could NOT have done it without you. Oh, and we LOVE our new home!

What we really value in Ryan and the Remax Team is that they have your best interest in mind. They are not just trying to "sell you a property", instead, they provide good and honest feedback so that an informed decision can be made. Most recently, Ryan really assisted our family by helping to sell a property that came with a lot of challenges. In the end, he (Ryan) stayed the course and all obstacles were overcome to achieve the result. Thank you, Ryan, and thank you to the Remax Team for everything! We will definitely be using their services in the future!

They are all about their money. They didn't really care about ours. To start they changed the time…read moreon our only open house and forgot to change it on the website. Soo their realtor left and said sadly no one came. Two hours later at the original time several people showed up at our house, so we had to show our own house with no realtor support. They didn't offer to help stage the house even though they talked about it when they first came to see our house. Instead they suggested I get my girlfriend to help me!!! When the house was sold we discovered that we weren't getting back $550 in propane because it wasn't listed in the contract. They said oh we don't deal with those things!! Really, cause as our representative they should have. We had no idea that the real estate laws had changed since the last time we had sold a home . Then, the day before closing they are calling to say we didn't disclose our second mortgage. We had actually visited their office to make sure they had our second mortgage information, but in adding the second mortgage they erased the information for the first mortgage and couldn't find that information. Again, they deflected all resonsibility and offered no apology. Everyone else made all of these mistakes they said. They are never wrong, and they never apologize. The day of closing we had to put $750 in an escrow acct. for a minor repair. They gave us the buyers agent's number to deal with directly. After all they got their money, they were done. They never contacted us to remind us we only had a week to repair the issue, or to see if we got our money back. Our friend fixed the problem for $10. They are all about their money and really don't care much about yours!!

Very helpful and they got the job done. We didn't feel pressured to buy a house until we found the…read moreright one for us, at least with the realtor and staff we dealt with.

They recommended a great local lender for me to get pre-approved, Jeff Shoemaker at Citizens Bank. Brian or Jacki were always able to make sure that one of them would have the time to show me a new home once it hit the market and was in my price range and ideal location! Because of their diligence, I was able to submit an offer on my beautiful new home the same day we had a showing! & Thanks to their suggestions, we had the contract accepted the same day, and had a smooth experience overall. I got to move into my home a little over a month later, and now I have been a happy homeowner for the last 6 months! I can't say enough for how well the Rutter Team handled my many, many requests and for how valued they made me feel throughout the process! Their diligence and professionalism are second to none, and their knowledge of the area was so incredibly helpful. I would recommend the Rutter Home Sales Team 1,000x over!
