Very pleased with Dan Reynolds Photography! Friendly with lots of good pose ideas. We had a large…read moregroup to herd for our family photos; Dan and Lydia handled it well and took advantage of opportunities for nice candid shots. They braved a very cold, windy day with us with no complaints. Pictures turned out beautifully!

Dan did an outstanding job with the photo session for our 50th anniversary. We didn't want a stiff…read morestudio portrait but a more casual setting that fit us. He suggested the Botanical Garden at ICC--a perfect place at the beginning of May with greening plants and flowering trees. He is great to work with--creative and friendly. He gave us a 50-photo album in a very timely manner and all of them are great. Hard to choose the best to put in the paper and to give as gifts! We highly recommend him.

Our experience with Cathy Algas (of Adam Merrick Team) was amazing! Like with most home buyers, our…read morehome buying experience began MONTHS before we were ready to buy. At first, we would just scroll through the site and see whats out there, while paying off debt and saving money for our downpayment. The first time Cathy messaged us to see what stage we were in and if we needed help....we didn't at the time. We explained we were just looking. She didn't pressure us, said keep her in mind when we were ready.....and we did. We got closer to being ready to buy a home, and we would message her with questions. She answered all of them within minutes not hours or days, yet we still we're ready, still no pressure. Eventually we were ready, even got underwriter approved (not just preapproved). Cathy and Jennifer (Jennifer was in training at the time, very nice, understanding, and willing to help too) wasted no time showing us homes, working with our crazy work schedules. Over the months leading up to home buying I had saved over 64 homes, Cathy helped us to narrow this list down by listening to our needs, and wants. The best part.... When we found our home, something went wrong with the lender we were using we found out late on a Sunday night. I messaged Cathy and she called me right away. By 9 am on Memorial day (a holiday mind you) she had a lender calling us. They went through everything with us, and was totally amazing. We ended up getting a better rate and service. To top it all off, Adam Merricks team, is taking our family of 7 to kartville as a thank you, how awesome.....our 5 kids are so excited!

Do not rely on Adam Merrick to offer you property 'rented or sold' to you unless you are rich. He…read morehas money and he is a terrible broker. Adam Merrick treats everyone below him like they don't have money and even treats his own employees in office like they are slaves to him. If you are renting an apartment from him, you already know how his maintenance is crap and cheap and how his crap service guy Randy ruins more then he fixes. Do not ever trust or him!
