Here's what our buyers and sellers say...
Alison Plaiser was absolutely amazing. She worked magic and sold my dads house quickly. Her professionalism made dealing with all of this so much easier. Being an over the road truck driver, everything beyond the initial appraisal was done either over the phone or net. Allison handled everything and did not give me a moments worry or concern. I definitely would recommend using Alison any time you need to sell or buy a house.
Pam has been a friend for a long time. I have recommended her to many of my friends and family. She always takes care of them and will lead who ever she is working with to a successful finish!
I saw Irma's profile when browsing for brokers on the internet. I sent her an email and that led to a prompt reply and an invitation for lunch. My first impression of her was cordial, knowledgeable, and understanding, which all stay true throughout my property-hunting journey. As a young, international first-time home buyer, I have as many questions and doubts as can be imagined. Irma has been patient with all my questions, and at the same time respects my judgment. With her help, I was able to get an ideal home in a short period of time.
Working out of state with Jude was very easy. She assured me that she had experience with doing business with others who were out of town. Jude was extremely patient and constantly reassuring.
In the last 20 years we bought 6 houses and sold 2 in Maryland, Indiana and Delaware. During these transactions we dealt with 4 agents and three brokers. Irma was the best agent we ever had. She is very knowledgeable, respectful and true professional who went beyond a call of duty to accomplish the task at hand. If we ever have a need to sell or buy in the area, we will never seek for an agent other than Irma. Above our expectation ten times over.
Shirley went above and beyond negotiating our purchase price. She also recommended many local professionals during the inspection process (which was important to us) because we were not from the immediate area. Shirley was professional, outgoing and very energetic. We appreciated her efforts in making our relocation as stress free as possible. We would highly recommend Shirley Behm: she is knowledgeable, has endless resources and her dynamic personality makes the process win/win.
Before I found Ruth, I had a terrible realtor. An absolute nightmare. So I fired them. That experience left a bad taste in my mouth about buying or selling any property. But I still needed to sell and buy a house. I needed someone good and I needed them to work fast. Then I found Ruth Hutt and Cressy and Everett... She fit us perfectly. She came in and made us feel comfortable. She communicated with me the way I needed to be communicated with. She was honest and courteous at all times. Absolutely 100 percent professional. She sold my house at a higher price than what I could have hoped for and found me a perfect new home. She even arranged to close the home I was selling and the home I was buying on the same day! Ruth is hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with and I will go back to her time and time again for any real estate needs..
We were very pleased at the work Debbie Foster put into the listing, negotiation, and closing of our house. She was a delight to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone! Debbie helped us attempt to sell to a friend that we had put on the exclusion list, and she was very patient with the process as our friend discovered that it was not possible for her to buy the house. She gave us tips for selling, oversaw contractors work, obtained contractors and in general moved the sale along as we returned to our main house out of state. She was always helpful, cheerful, pleasant and encouraging. Debbie worked very diligently with us as we completed our renovations, attempted a sale to a friend, finally went on the market, got a sales contract, negotiated items and closed. She was very, very helpful. We primarily dealt with Debbie both when we were in state and out of state. We had no problems or issues with the performance of Cressy & Everett South Bend. Debbie is the best of the brokers that we have dealt with in our purchases of 4 houses over 30 years.
Debbie is simply amazing! As first time sellers we definitely lacked knowledge of how the whole selling process worked (especially in a market like today's) but Debbie was there patiently walking us through every step. We quickly learned to trust and value all of her knowledge and opinions. We would recommend Debbie to anyone!!
It was a joy to work with Nicholas Benninghoff to sell a property in South Bend. He is a true professional with great communication skills and willing to go above and beyond for his clients. Thanks Nick!
