From the moment Sara first walked through my door, she felt less like a realtor and more like family. I was listing my home during what was probably one of the most difficult and stressful times in my life, and Sara somehow managed to make the entire process feel manageable.

At one point, I was inside on a business call while she was outside washing my patio furniture for the photographer—if that doesn’t sum up the level of service, I don’t know what does!

If you want a realtor who will treat your home and family like they matter, I cannot recommend Sara enough. I will forever be grateful for everything she did for us.

I had a great experience working with Kimberly Carey while selling my home. She was incredibly easy to work with, professional, and always available to answer my questions. Kimberly made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free, kept me informed every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. I truly appreciated her knowledge, communication, and dedication. I highly recommend Kimberly Carey to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

If you’re looking for an incredible realtor in Michigan, I wholeheartedly recommend Katie!

Moving from out of state and buying a lake house felt overwhelming at first, but Katie made the entire experience so easy. She was always quick to respond, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home, not just any home.

She went above and beyond throughout the process, advocated for us every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel exciting and seamless. Even after closing, she’s continued to be a fantastic resource and has been there whenever we’ve had questions.

Kim helped us purchase a home in Toledo, OH while we were living in Seattle, WA. Working with Kim is such a breeze! We communicated through email, texts & phones calls. She was always very professional & honest with us. We bounced ideas & suggestions off each other to narrow down the options. She has a keen eye for a home's assets and liabilities. The offers we put down on homes were well thought out due to Kim's expertise in negotiating. Even though it was hard when our offers were outbid, she always had our back and knew there was a house waiting for us. We've recommended her to family & friends knowing they'll be in good hands.

Cyndi was very enthusiastic and patient. It took us a long time to find our house but she hung in there with us. She was responsive when we asked to see a house. And she seemed to understand the market. We really appreciate her!

Jessica did an amazing job with helping me buy my home. She is very knowledgeable and professional; the ins and outs of each stage of the process were easy and straightforward. The peace of mind provided was well worth it; I would definitely recommend her expertise to those looking to take the next step towards their new homes!

I would highly recommend Jessica for all your real estate needs. My wife and I were thrilled with our purchasing experience. Not only were we constantly involved with the entire process, Jessica also made sure to keep us one step ahead of everything so we knew what to expect

Once again, Kim provided outstanding assistance to us after helping us purchase our new home. She sold our previous home expediently using her outstanding knowledge of the local area. Many offers resulted from her marketing strategies. She advised us in preparing our house to maximize its value and recommended skilled individuals who performed the work efficiently. Kim's guidance throughout the sale of our home was very professional, and we feel very fortunate to have found such an honest and highly qualified realtor.

Throughout the entire process of selling my house, Katie was amazingly helpful and kept up constant communication for the entire process. My experience was smooth in no small part to Katie. I intend to use Katie's services again in the future.

Sara did a great job on listening to our needs and wants in a perfect home for my little family. At the time of searching for a home I wasn't sure if I was going to buy in my hometown or toledo. We saw some great houses in toledo but she helped me close on a house in my hometown. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell! Sara and her business partner Katie helped me achieve my goal of becoming a homeowner.

Working with Kim Carey made the difficult task of purchasing a house a much easier process. Any and all questions and concerns we had were addressed quickly and professionally. She provided us with contact details for excellent carpenters, painters and a home inspection company. Her calm demeanor and confidence helped us through the stress as she was able to help us complete the purchase of our new home in about two weeks. We look forward to Kim selling our old house given her outstanding knowledge of the local real estate market and strong work ethic.

Cyndi is an exceptional realtor! Her attention detail and help from listing to closing was nothing short of amazing. No matter the circumstances, moving is stressful and Cyndi’s calm easy going attitude is motivating and reassuring. This was, by far, my best experience moving. Thank you, Cyndi!

Jessica is one of the best out there in my opinion, she went above and beyond to find the best home for us and stayed with us every step of the way making sure we were informed and answering every question we had right away. If your looking to have a peaceful home buying experience Jessica is they person for you!

Worked with Katie Williams for about 3 years. We live in Alabama and looked for a home in Michigan with her help. She COULD NOT have done a better job of meeting our needs. When God told her to alert us to the house that He wanted us to have, she told us right away and everything worked out for us as we had hoped and prayed for. She responded to what must have been over 100 contacts from us, always with the same cheerful and willing to help attitude. Katie continues to serve us AFTER the sale. Consider her a friend and would recommend her to anybody. Thank you Katie!

Katie made this whole process as smooth as possible. She never pressured us into any major decisions without thinking it through first. She also was very knowledgeable about thr VA homeloan process which made us feel well taken care of. All around, Katie is a true professional!

Jessica worked really hard to sell our house and was a joy to work with. I highly recommend her.

Cyndi did an amazing job helping us find out first home! She's really passionate about finding buyers their perfect home. I would recommend her as a realtor to anyone looking for their home!

Jessica awesome, she was very informative about every detail of the process and ensured I got the best deal I could with what I came in with and made it possible with me out of town. I will definitely use her again for future house buying!

I just can’t say enough good things about Jessica. She was so great to work with open-minded kind and I really dragged her to a couple houses that were in awful shape, but she was still positive and never complained and was just a delight to be with. Jessica would always answer my text messages right away. She is supportive and very knowledgeable about the houses we would look at, sometimes getting answers on the spot. She was informed on comps neighborhoods. As far as real estate agents go. She is the best one that I’ve worked with and I would work with her again on the next house, if I plan to buy one.

Jessica Saum was AMAZING! She was very informative and consistently kept me updated on every process occurring with buying a home. I have purchased 4 homes and this was by far the easiest and least stressful. She was easy to reach and quick to respond to my questions or concerns. I highly recommend Jessica Saum if you are looking for a very qualified agent that will look out for your best interest when purchasing your next home!

Katie is the absolute best! When buying our first house, she made everything so smooth and stress less. She advocated for us in situations that were needed and was always looking out for us!!

Working with Kim was the most amazing first time home buying experience we could've asked for! My best friend recommended my boyfriend and I to her and we are so grateful that she did. It was our first time buying a home and she made sure that we knew exactly what to expect at every step of the way. She went above and beyond for us and was on FaceTime with us at 10:00 pm on a Saturday night writing up our first home offer. And, she worked her magic so well that we already have solid equity in our home. She was so knowledgable about what to look for in a good, reliable home, and was sure to remind us of the things that she knew we wanted in a home to make sure we didn't settle and found the perfect home for us. Even after closing day she has checked up on us and made sure the move-in was going well. She's not just our realtor, she's our friend!

5 stars just aren’t enough for Kim! My best friend referred to me Kim and told me how incredible she was, and she was so right. I am genuinely clueless when it comes to home-buying and the market, and Kim made my first home buying experience SO perfect. I close on my first home today, and the process has been so smooth it’s almost unbelievable! She genuinely cares for your needs and wants and leads you in the exact right direction. She genuinely feels like she’s on your side when touring homes and searching for the right one. The deal that she got me (especially during these crazy times) is amazing and I couldn’t believe it when she first told me! I will be referring everyone I know to Kim, words can’t even explain how amazing she has been :)

if you are purchasing or selling a house I would highly recommend Jessica Saum at NextHome. She is very knowledgeable and quick to get questions answered. Jessica kept the team on track to keep our closing in sight. She is intelligent and fun to work with and very professional. Thank you Jessica!
