Here is what previous clients had to say about us!
Joe was a true professional that knew the real estate market in the area. He priced the house higher when others said it was too overpriced. We ended up having 17 groups come through and three prompt offers by the end of the weekend. Joe made the selling process easy and without any snags. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.
As a buyer, I had a great experience working with Janel for many months through a chaotic housing market before finally finding a place and I'd recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy a lake house. She was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions a lake home buyer like me had. She was professional, easily reachable, and generally able to go take a look at properties with short notice as they became available.
We have used Joe Bertera and his office since 2009. We have always had a great experience with him and his associates. Not only is Joe our agent , but we now also consider him a friend. He has always provided us with very professional and friendly services. He always goes above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Joe!
"Hi Russ,
I wanted to thank for helping me get my Milford condo. I know I limited my chances of finding the "perfect condo" by wanting a certain small area. But you came out here whenever we found one. It took me a year of looking but finally we found one that was the "one". It was a short sale which I knew nothing about. You told me about all the problems that might happen with a "short sale" and some of them did. You were good about re-assuring me about the length of time short sales take. But we finally got the condo! Thank you from Courtney and I."
