We worked with Dana Hathorn to sell our house and it was a terrible experience. Wouldn't you agree…read moreDana? Our house cost over three times the price of any house she had ever sold so She was very nice...until we signed the contract. Then she was uncommunicative, hard to reach by phone or text and didn't return our phone calls. Her main objective was to make her Commission and it seemed to us that she did not have our best interest at heart. It took two to three days for her to give us information that the buyer's agent had passed on to her. She told us we had to pay for the buyer's home inspection which was untrue. Not sure if it was because she's very inexperienced or what but she would send the buyer to our house with the code to get in while our family was home without checking in with us or alerting us. Even the home inspector came into our house, unannounced while my children were home alone. She did not show our house one time because she always seemed busy with personal activities but was happy to give the code to anybody that wanted to see it. When we did not agree with her she got very snippy. Our house was a very easy sell and she did not have to do any amount of work other than putting it on the MLS . She did not show it or attend the closing or even talk to us in person one time after the contract on our house was signed. Sad to have such a terrible experience selling our house that we've lived in for so long. Glad it's over and would not recommend her to anyone.

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.

She is such a positive and realistic person which is really helpful in keeping your head out of the clouds while shopping for a home. Natalie is a great listener too. My wife and I have her the list of things we wanted from a home and we viewed the house we eventually bought on the first day of house hunting. We went out on two separate days just to make sure we weren't missing out on something even more too good to be true. We wanted our first home to be our long term home and I don't know that we would have been able to achieve that with another realtor. Natalie was helpful, always available, easy to talk to and funny too. We couldn't have asked for better help and are recommending her to anyone who is in the market. Thanks again Natalie, Daniel

After contacting Carla H. in error and letting her know we were looking for the listing agent we…read morereceived a very unprofessional, scathing email about not using the sellers listing agent to buy a home. Accused us of not knowing what we were doing, warning us that this is not the way to purchase a home and that now the listing agent was going to (gasp!) receive ALL of the commission! and that she pays! to be a contact on Realtor.com and he doesn't so how can he be reliable? Absolutely not what we would expect from a professional. Do not assume what we know or do not know about purchasing a home you arrogant bully. Never, ever will we recommend her to anyone! What an absolute unprofessional bully! Email copy follows below. You decide! Response to our email from Ms. Hill: Hello Mike, I've had a very busy day and just now sat down to my computer to catch up with "all" my email messages from today while I was out. I did get your message about wanting the listing agent. I just want to make sure you understand a few things regarding this decision. The listing agent is already contracted to work for the seller, that happens when the seller signs a listing agreement with that agent to sell the home. This is also when the commission the seller agrees to pay the listing agent and the buyer's agent is set through that listing agreement contract. Somehow there is some myth out there that working with the listing agent is the best way to purchase a home. I ask you if the listing agent is already working for the seller, then how can you, as a buyer, get exclusive representation using the listing agent when purchasing a home? When you are making the largest most expensive purchase in your lifetime wouldn't you want your own representation? In listing homes myself, I develop a strong relationship with the seller's when I work with them and many times it is more like a friendship through the listing/marketing process. So why do you believe your going to get the best deal/representation or whatever it is you are trying to accomplish by going through the listing agent? They are already obligated to work for the seller by the contract they already signed. Now you, the buyer comes along and wants to buy this house. If the seller agrees, then that listing agent will be allowed to show that home to buyer's. According to the law, you must be informed that this is a listing of that listing agent also. So all parties must agree by signing a form called a dual agency form. This form discloses dual agency between the buyer and seller and their relationship with the listing/selling agent (this must be done at the first showing according to the law). What you are doing is giving both commission's to the listing agent and in the process you are not getting the best representation you can possibly get for all that money. I realize you will likely not call me back to help you with this process of your home purchase, I am hoping to help you by educating you about the process. I am sure the listing agent is going to be delighted when you call to look at their listing because it means they don't have to share either commission and they get both commissions. On another note, when you go through Realtor.com to inquire about a home...unless that listing agent is dedicated to their own business enough to pay Realtor.com to receive their own leads, then your inquiry about that home is going to go to someone like me. By the way, I do pay Realtor.com to send the buyer's who inquire about my listings to me. Not only that, but I also pay Realtor.com to send the buyer leads to me from listing's where the listing agent does not pay Realtor.com to receive their own leads on their own listings. Obviously the agent on this home does not pay Realtor.com to receive their own buyer leads and that is why your inquiry came to me. I have been selling Real Estate for over 25 years and I am fully dedicated to my business. It is not my hobby job and I try to do it Top Notch all the way. If you are inclined to call me or respond to this message and allow me to represent you, it would be my pleasure, however I don't expect that to happen. In the end, I wish you the best of luck and I sincerely hope your home buying experience is nothing but the best. I am concerned that you are going to have a less than hoped for experience though by the way you are going about it. Nonetheless, Good Luck and thank you for allowing me this time. Respectfully, Carla S. Hill, GRI, CRS, ABR, SFR, Broker Consultant Kettley & Company Realtor's 720 Bridge Street Yorkville, IL. 60560
