Kind Words From Several of Our Clients

"Selling a home, buying a home - it can be so stressful.  Are you getting enough for the house you are listing?  Are you paying too much for your new home? But then you have Mary Lou and Doug Emmerich. How much less stressful my selling/buying experience was with them.  Mary Lou and Doug had me list my home for $40,000 more than another agent recommended - and three days after the home was Active, I had multiple offers - each one better than the last and all of them over asking price. Think about it - had me LIST FOR $40,000 MORE than another agent suggested!​​  

 I found a less than perfect home. But buried in years of neglect you could see there was potential. Purchasing the home at the right price was key - and Doug and Mary Lou didn't fail me. During the process of negotiation and inspection they clearly communicated my intentions on pricing and needed repairs - never wavering - resulting in the right price for the purchase.​​ The caring, personalized service Mary Lou and Doug give their clients means your goals are their goals."   

 "I just wanted to thank you so much for really making the house buying process seamless. I appreciate your thorough understanding of the market and just the pure fact that you listened to what we were looking for.  Your professionalism and the thoughtfulness during each of our interactions have been fully appreciated by us both."                         

"Since it's the New Year and fresh starts are in, it's time I give a shout out to those who helped me find my new start.  The new place is great and is even more than I expected! The neighborhood is awesome. And you made it so easy for me to sell the townhome. I can't express how much thanks I have for all the help you and Mary Lou provided in the past months."  

​"We were thrilled with the experience and the results we had working with Doug and Mary Lou to sell our home.  Doug and Mary Lou were very thoughtful and concise about what we needed to do and what they were going to take care of on our behalf.  This clarity of direction prioritized our preparation for bringing our house to market.  In addition to simplifying our life at the time, we had confidence that we were doing things right based on the responses we received from Doug and Mary Lou as they clearly demonstrated their depth and breadth of expertise.

After negotiations where Doug and Mary Lou asked for clarification on both the offer amount and quality of the offer from several prospective buyers, we selected the best offer for our home at $17K over our asking price.  Doug and Mary Lou guided the transaction from contract to closing, simplifying the inspections and distilling the actions that we needed to take to fulfill our obligations under the contract."

"Relocating, and selling a home is a stressful experience for anyone.  Buyers can and do make irrational or uninformed requests during the process.  We found it invaluable having informed and conscientious people like Doug and Mary Lou working on our behalf, guiding the preparation of the home, laying out the facts and options at key decision points, and making recommendations based on their knowledge of the market and how they have seen things play out in the past.  

We recommend Doug and Mary Lou to our friends and family as they will more than hold up their end of the bargain in a real estate transaction."
