What Clients Are Saying

Thank you for all your help in the process of searching and buying our new home. It was good to know that there was always someone to call when we had questions or needed help. Thanks again,

Working with Eric Decrosta was awesome. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me out with my first home purchase. He went above and beyond through out the whole transaction. He made sure I understood every step of the way from looking at property’s to the closing table. He asked me the right questions off the bat witch I didn’t think of before went I was looking for a home. Eric wasn't just helping me purchase a home but educated me in a lot of ways that I considered textbook facts of being a home owner,that a lot of people over look. I can’t not say enough how much effort he put in and always on the ball. I felt very at ease with every step he took to keep me going especially when buying a home it’s not easy. His saying of “its not a race it’s a marathon” was very true especially with this market. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for home to choose  Eric because they would be in good hands and I would gladly work with him again.

We highly recommend Cynthia Kelly to anyone buying and/or selling a home.  She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely a very nice person. She helped us to buy our new home and sell our existing home. She goes above and beyond to assist her clients.

We met Cynthia at an open house in the GE Plot and were so impressed with her presentation and knowledge of the home that we knew she was the perfect Realtor to sell our home and help us find our new home. She has genuine interest in her clients and works 110% on each sale. We couldn't be happier.

I wanted to write to you and let you know what a wonderful job Eric did (in the sale of my mom's house)....after my mom passed, I mentioned I wasn't sure what to do with her house; sell or keep it and rent it out. Eric not only talked me through both aspects and the pros and cons, but he did it without trying to "sell me" on the idea of selling. Eric came to the house and took alot of time going through the home to let me know what was worth fixing to help sell and what just needed a little touch up...  It allowed me to really think it over and decide what was best for me and my family.  Throughout the entire process i couldn't have asked for a better agent...Simply put, iI wouldn't have been able to get through the hardest thing in my life without Eric.

Brent was awesome, he was very patient, kind-hearted and warm. I know that I'm not the easiest person to deal with, but he got the job done. He listened to exactly what it was that I needed, and worked with me to make sure I was comfortable with my transition to another city. I have already made recommendations to people who I know.

Jihan has an incredible knowledge of the local area, and the going-ons in the community. She helped our family find the perfect multifamily for our needs, and was receptive to our (specific) asks. Her responsiveness was refreshing, and her advice objective. Couldn't ask for more! We will be using Jihan in the future as well, and recommending her to friends and family.

Barbara is an outstanding realtor and recently handled the sale of our father's home.  All of us children live out of state.  Barbara coordinated all of the repairs, cleaning and painting for the house which got us 10% over asking price in less than 48 hours on the market.  She has been such a gift to us and we recommend her to anyone wanting an efficient and profitable home sale!
