I am disabled and have lived with my elderly mother since 2000. I had moved back to the house I…read moregrew up in after my accident, and for many years my mom and I listened to the Glenn Beck radio show. We had often heard advertisements for a Real estate agent by the name of Chip Hodgkins. Glenn always said that Chip could sell a house for what we were asking in a timely manner or else he would buy the house himself. We just figured that there was some sort of "catch", and didn't really give it a second thought. Whenever we tried to sell a car or do business with anybody, it seemed like there was always a "catch", so it kind of went in one ear and out the other. Regardless, Glenn Beck planted the seed which remained in both of our heads. In late 2024 we started seriously considering selling our house and moving. We looked into a real estate agent that was related to a friend & she came over to assess the house. Our house was almost 60 years old in disrepair and falling apart, but the only thing the agent seemed to focus on was the smell of cigarette smoke. She was pretty rude about it, and kept telling us that the smell alone was going to devalue the house by over $20,000. Things felt hopeless for us as we thanked her for her time and decided not to go with her services. We were both in complete despair. Sometime in late February of 2025, we decided to call Chip Hodgkins. A few days later, on February 26th, we met with Chip. He came over to try and help us out. He was well prepared with papers showing homes similar to ours in location and size, including the values and what they sold for. With a positive attitude and total confidence he pointed out all of the good aspects of our home and for the first time in years we had been given something that you can't put a price on. He gave us hope and piece of mind. We were very surprised to find that our house was valued much higher than we had been told by the previous real estate agent. Yet there were still lingering questions. "Were do we start?" I asked. "We would need a dumpster to get rid of over 50 years of accumulated junk." "I know a guy", he responded. And right there, only 20 minutes into the meeting, he made a call to somebody who owned a dumpster business. Chip asked the gentleman if he could stop over to assess the situation and give us an estimate of how much it would cost for a dumpster. The man arrived, then took a walk though the house and around the property. Once back inside, he took a moment and told us that his guys could not only handle the removal of junk, but also help with packing up a shipping container for the move if we needed it. Then he paused for a moment, and asked how much we were looking to get for the house. Chip told him our asking price and said, "What are you thinking?" to which he replied, "Let me take another look at a few things." He checked out the crawlspace and a few other things, pointed out some things that were wrong with the house that we didn't even realize, but reassured us that they could be easily remedied, and that his guys could even fix them. He stood there in thought again for a couple of minutes, then told us that he had bought a few properties so far, renovated and resold them. He had the resources to do it. Chip asked if he was interested and without hesitation the man nodded his head and said yes. My mom and I just sort of looked at each other in wonder. "What just happened?" I asked. With a smile on his face, Chip extended his hand and said to us, "Congratulations. Your house is sold." One thing I almost forgot to mention. The gentleman who bought our house told us we didn't have to worry about paying to have our junk taken away. All we had to do is pack up what we wanted to keep and he would take care of the rest. With a handshake and a smile it was done. All of this happened within an hour and a half. The next day Chip had all of the paperwork, and even found us an attorney to help with the sale. Chip Hodgkins has made multi-million dollar deals, but he didn't even make more than a few thousand dollars on the closing costs of our home. He didn't sell our home to money. He was there to help us, and did so with honor and integrity. Honorable reputation and Christian values is what Chip is all about. By March 31st our moving truck was packed up and we said goodbye to our old home. A check was delivered to us by April 4th and it was for far much more than we had ever expected. I don't know how to properly thank Chip for helping us sell our house, but I will be forever grateful, and I'll never in my life forget the four words he said. "I know a guy"

I had the pleasure of working with Emily Martini on both the sale of my previous home and the…read morepurchase of my new one. After consulting with agents from several other brokerages, I found Emily after she completed a successful sale in my neighborhood, and I'm so glad I did. Emily was professional, friendly, and incredibly responsive. She offered excellent advice on how to maximize the sale price of my home, from staging recommendations to pricing strategy. Her guidance was never pushy--it was always honest, transparent, and focused on what was best for me. Thanks to Emily's expertise, I sold my home for far more than I ever expected, and the Bespoke behind-the-scenes team made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Emily then guided me through the buying process. In such a competitive market, I was anxious about finding the right home, but she made the experience so much easier than I expected. She quickly understood exactly what I was looking for and consistently sent listings that I never would have considered on my own--but ended up loving. Scheduling showings was effortless, and her insight during walkthroughs was invaluable. She was honest about what she was seeing, pointed out both the positives and potential concerns, and helped me feel confident and knowledgeable every step of the way. When it came time to make offers, Emily was exceptional at developing a strategy that balanced being competitive without being reckless. Thanks to her expertise and advocacy, we were able to secure the perfect home while staying under my budget. Even after closing, Emily has continued to be an incredible resource. From recommending trusted vendors to offering thoughtful advice as I've settled into homeownership, she's remained someone I know I can rely on. I would recommend Emily and the Bespoke Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She exceeded every expectation I had and was better than I ever could have hoped for in a realtor.
