What Clients Are Saying

We signed with Merle and Peter on Feb. 12, 2016. Two offers came in over Easter weekend. Many showings, much marketing and just great PR overall is the trademark of Merle and Peter. We cannot begin to tell you how much they helped us being there, getting to know us, advising on what to do and what could be done later, helping organize and facilitate inspections and tradespeople and generally helping us be market ready. I think this is one of the fastest turn arounds in the area in recent times. When we truly needed professional help, being states away in Wisconsin, Merle and Peter came through every step of the way.

We appreciated from the beginning that Merle was not at all pushy. She listened to what we wanted and respected our desires while also being willing to share her expertise and opinions when it seemed appropriate for us. Compared to other realtors we spoke and met with, we really appreciated that Merle didn't make our realtor-buyer relationship awkward in any way. Of note, Merle was very responsive in communications: one of the reasons we ended up with our home is because Merle was able to immediately schedule a viewing after our request, and one time that she was particularly busy and we were particularly anxious during the purchase process, she had her husband (also a Sawicki realtor) call us to answer our questions. Also, she didn't rush us at viewings, and instead gave us ample time to look at details and "feel out" the homes. We appreciated that she helped us navigate the communication process with the sellers and their realtor during the purchase, making us feel comfortable that she was representing our perspective.
