It is because of Melissa Hill that I would recommend Berkshire Hathaway.

I have worked with Melissa for several years now and no matter what she is there to answer my questions and give me advice. She is honest, hard working, punctual, and patient. She is what gives a company a good reputation. I would follow Melissa before I followed the company. It is because of her that Berkshire received my business.

I really appreciated having Charlie Jenkins in my corner for my first home shopping/buying experience.

She was very responsive to questions and very flexible with walkthrough requests. She really shined when a less than stellar inspection report came back and helped drive to get many of the concerning item fixed by the seller prior to closing. I would definitely recommend her to friends, family or colleagues who are looking into buying or selling a home.

I recently had the pleasure of working with mike Sabo to purchase my first home, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their exceptional service!

From the moment we started the process, he was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me find the perfect place. What impressed me most was their deep understanding of the local market. He took the time to listen to my needs, understand my budget, and provided valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions. As well ans he always had a positive attitude, even during the more challenging parts of the home-buying process. Mike was also a fantastic communicator. He kept me updated every step of the way, making sure I felt informed and confident throughout the journey. His professionalism and dedication are truly commendable; it was clear that my satisfaction was his top priority. Thanks to Mike, I found a home that I absolutely love, and the entire process was smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond, look no further than Mike! Thank you, Mike once again for making my dream of homeownership a reality!

Taylor Brooks

Kris is a jewel.

She was helpful and professional throughout the process. She has become a trusted friend.

Marie Miller

Prior to selecting a realtor, we did significant research and finally selected Berkshire Hathaway as our realtor of choice.

We also opted to pick Melissa as our agent because of the high praise she received in customer ratings resulting in high expectations on our part. And, as expected, Melissa was a true professional. Her sensitive but no-nonsense approach during the entire process left us with a feeling of trust and that was especially important to us. She was attentive, responding to any/all questions that arose during the process helping to minimize any level of anxiety we might have had. We highly recommend her to anyone who is doing their own due diligence in looking for that perfect realtor.

Robert McCullough

This is the second home Susan has listed and sold for us.

She works hard and is always pleasant. She’s very responsive and available. We would definitely work with her again in the future. We consider her not only our realtor but a friend.

Stan & Rowenna

Leslie and Ruthanne did an amazing job working through several issues while selling my house.

They were patient and kind and really stepped up and went above and beyond in dealing with difficult buyers plus me, the seller, who was a basket full of anxiety after losing my father. I absolutely recommended them to a coworker who will also be selling his father’s home in a couple months. They both had outstanding work ethic and did a stand-up job with the house. Thank you Leslie and Ruthanne!!!

Roy Hoffman

Jeff and Barbara

Sara is an absolute joy to work with , she explains everything in great detail and truly does have her clients best interest in mind .

Karen Feola

Outstanding!

! Susan is very knowledgeable and guided us through all the steps and documents and negotiations. She kept us informed of feedback from each showing. And she went above our expectations with assisting with final removal of items, snow shoveling, and house “reddying” once we had moved out 8 hours away. We could not have hired a better agent to lead us through the process.

John & Kathy Johnston

Kylee was awesome to work with.

The whole team of folks was helpful and patient.

Harrison Young

P&P Investments, GP

SUSAN WAS AN INCREDIBLE HELP THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

SHE HAD A HELPFUL ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION WE ASKED. SHE RESEARCHED DILIGENTLY ALL ASPECTS OF NOT ONLY THE SALE OF OUR HOME, BUT ALSO WAS HELPFUL IN OUR HOME PURCHASE IN FLORIDA. WE RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY TO ALL WHO WISH TO SELL A HOME.

Dave & Cindy

The rooms were emptied but our hearts remained full… August 7 we bid farewell to our home of just shy of 15 years.

As you can imagine it was a journey of so many emotions to prepare for the sale. Laughter, tears and smiles as we remembered & reflected on the memories, love, growth & traditions we created. Selling a home and all that it entails while being in Texas & then Colorado was tricky, emotional and downright overwhelming. It could not have been done without the grace of God & our beloved family. Our strength came from them. My friend & agent Adia Kimbrough helped make the process feel less painful as I continually had to navigate my sea of emotions. Those that know me know I’m a crier. Thank you Adia Kimbrough, Realtor Rental/Lease Certified-She/Her for your direction, support, patience, understanding & commitment to our family. We are now off to where God is directing us and will honor Him through it all… 🙏🏼✝️♥️

She went above and beyond the call of duty. It was more like we known each other all our lives. She is the best and taught me alot and didn't let me get discouraged. 100 stars for her effort.

"John is an outstanding realtor and we highly recommend him. He guided us through the process of selling our home and made everything a breeze. He paid attention to our wants and needs and supported us through every step. Our home was sold within a few days and I am confident that John’s experience and knowledge was a factor. John made it such a fast and easy process for us when it’s known to be difficult. Availability was never an issue and he checked on us numerous times to see if we had questions or needs. We own another home in the area and when we are ready to sell, we will without a doubt be using John again. THANK YOU JOHN!!!!!!"

"I'm really appreciative of John's approach. Always clear and immediate communication with thorough explanations of the process and next steps. His knowledge of local trends and history worked out really well for me. Most importantly his instincts on when and how to take action positioned me for what turned out to be a great purchase. I would highly recommend John to any family or friends."

"John is an exceptional real estate agent, and we couldn't be happier with his service. From the outset, John stood out due to his unique background as an appraisal analyst. While another agent we interviewed seemed to guess at a listing price, John leveraged his appraisal expertise and took a data-driven, systematic approach to determine a recommended listing price. His price proved to be spot on, as we received a full-price offer within 10 days.In the lead-up to listing the house, John went above and beyond on multiple occasions to address challenges related to preparing the property. His problem-solving skills and teamwork were invaluable. John personally assisted with staging preparations, coordinated necessary repairs, and even recommended trusted service providers to ensure the house was market ready.Additionally, he caught several errors made by the settlement company with the closing paperwork, preventing any delays and ensuring a smooth transaction. His attention to detail and commitment to his clients' best interests were evident throughout the entire process.We highly recommend John for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His dedication, expertise, and personalized service make him an outstanding agent. John Gates is awesome!"

"John's experience and insight were incredibly valuable throughout this process. He always had my best interest in mind as a buyer and was always there for every question and concern. On multiple occasions I reached out for what I considered a mundane question and he would get back to me promptly with enthusiasm and knowledge to spare! After closing John still reached out to offer help if needed and offered tips. John was recommended by friends whom he helped a few years back, and they were excited to see him again as he helped me find my home. His reputation is worth gold!"
