I f you never had a son, Kurt's the son you always wanted. But you can't have him because he is MINE.

Kurt did a great job. He was very "on-the spot", and eager to keep us up-dated regarding developments. He was never in a hurry and always willing to chat. His analyses of the real estate market were easy to understand, and turned out to be accurate.

In the end, everything went smoothly, with a sale on the first day.

Overall, I give him a hearty "A+" and would recommend him to anyone.

Kurt is a man beyond others. He is your three A realtor; affable, available and able. Moving over 20 times as a child and adolescent, no agent ever approached his knowledge, affability or helpfulness. He is the low key, pleasant alternative to hype and superficial glitz. Kurt wears well over time. You will never feel crowded or pushed. He is a Rochester native and knows the town intimately. He was very helpful in making offers with an escalation clause-a nerve wracking experience for the buyer. Similarly, he was invaluable in preparing our house for sale. He even introduced us to contractors to prepare our home for sale and spruce up our new dwelling.

Kurt was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped in many ways; during the viewings, making the offers, and more. He even helped me when I needed transportation. Thanks Kurt.

In a nutshell… Kurt was an angel in disguise. He guided me in a unique buy/sell situation from the beginning until the end. He was honest. I highly recommend Kurt if you’re looking to buy or sell. He is a very compassionate professional, which is a hard combination to find these days.

In a nutshell… Kurt was an angel in disguise. I found him on Google and called on a late afternoon expecting to leave a voicemail but he picked up the phone and he listened diligently my dilemma. The very next day he came to my home and we discussed my options. He guided me and ultimately helped me buy my home and sell my home in an unusual situation. I recommend Kurt to anyone looking to buy/sell a home … you will receive a compassionate professional which is hard to find in these times.

Kurt was fantastic in this most challenging real estate market ever. We were moving from out-of-state, and he had to deal with many extra things and did so brilliantly. We had several hiccups along the way and handled them with aplomb.

We have been lucky enough to work with Kurt twice! Buying and selling a home in 2012! And then our most recent home search which began in May of 2020 in the middle of the pandemic! Kurt was essential in navigating the real estate market during those trying times. Although it was a difficult search due to inventory issues and record breaking pricing he was with us every step of way. His advice and guidance was paramount in deciding how much was too much to pay. Although it took many months and many unsuccessful offers (cash is king in the market) he preserved and made sure we had the right mortgage broker to be as competitive as possible in this market. Our successful offer finally came after year of searching! He successfully sold our home in less than a week! Our house purchase had many bumps in the road with difficult sellers and he held our hand through the drama and was certain it would all work out in the end, but he answered all my calls and questions effectively. The day we closed was one of the happiest of my life. We have now been in our dream home for almost a year and I am so thankful that he helped us reach this goal! This is our forever home! I will miss talking to him As he is a wonderful person! I highly recommend him for all your real estate needs!

Buyers
Five important reasons to choose Kurt:
1) Kurt is a very experienced and established real estate agent and knows the Rochester area/market well. He knows the value of homes which is great for either buying or selling a home.
2) He has a stellar reputation among fellow realtors which means he is respected and thought of as fair when it comes to price negotiation. Handy for selling or buying.
3) He's really nice! And CALM!
4) He's really smart!
5) We will be able to use his resource list for future renovations.

We have sold one home and bought another using Kurt's services. We sold our Brighton home in pre-pandemic days and thanks to Kurt's guidance on pre-showing renovations and excellent price setting we sold it within a few days.

Kurt's guidance and perspective on homes as a seasoned real estate broker really paid off!

Most recently he helped us purchase a new home. He was tremendously helpful to us as my husband and I purchased our home so that we can return to the Rochester area.

We live out-of-state, so Kurt's excellent and timely communication was a key factor in our successful purchase.

He patiently provided remote tours of several homes, and we appreciated his candid assessments of their condition, location, and relative value. He was a good ear for what we wanted. He went out of his way to ensure that we had all the information we needed to make decisions. He also put us in touch with local professionals to assist us throughout the process. We have great confidence in Kurt's judgement, advice, and expertise.

When we visited the Rochester area in person, Kurt was responsive and accommodating; he scheduled several viewings on very short notice.

He is very easy to work with! Responsive, professional, established and knowledgeable.

Buyer
Being new to the area from out of state, Kurt was an invaluable resource for me in finding and purchasing a house. Without his skill and knowledge I am sure that I would have paid much more. In this current market of 20 to 30% over asking, he was able to get it at asking price. Kurt came highly recommended to me and I also highly recommend him for anyone wishing to find their home at the best price.

Seller
I have worked with Kurt Engebrecht as both a buyer and seller during the past several years. Most recently, he helped us with the sale of our property at Bristol Harbour Village in Canandaigua, NY. I truly appreciate the many qualities Kurt brings to the table with his vast experience and in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, especially in Rochester and the surrounding areas. He goes above and beyond with his time and availability. His thoughtful and insightful guidance, reassurance, and suggestions really made a difference during this whole process. The sale of our property was successful because of Kurt's expertise. Plus, he's so wonderful to work with!

Kurt is a true professional and constantly looks for the best solution for his client. Simply put.....KURT GETS IT! And, he is honest and operates with full integrity inside and outside of his profession. He did everything he said he would do and his process (including the 360 degree video) was a game changer in this current Real Estate environment. We found Kurt's client communication, RE knowledge, and negotiating skills second to none. You don't need to shop around for expert representation once you put Kurt on your team!

Kurt did an AMAZING job representing us every step of the way! His kind, patient approach, coupled with his limitless knowledge helped us tremendously as we bought our first rental unit. We not only found a great rental unit, but we felt like we took a master class on Real estate while doing so. When it came to dealmaking time, Kurt worked tirelessly on our deal leaving us feeling like we were like we were his only client. We are excited to work with Kurt again on our next deal.

Buyer & Seller
Having been unsuccessful with 2 other realtors over a 2 year period to sell our home, we asked Kurt for some help. He was straight forward, honest in his assessment, and had a plan to market the home. Significant assist on staging, his assessment of the market, photo collection, and marketing to the right folks got us 2 offers in 3 days! His negotiation skills achieved over asking price and acceptance on both sides of a good deal. We then took him all over trying to find the right next home, and he was understanding of our needs, helped in assessing the options and again, concluded a successful closing of a great next home for us.

His understanding of the market, experience in the industry, contacts to get things done, communication of situation and status were all great assists to efficiently and effectively get the job done. VERY happy sellers and buyers.

Incredibly knowledgeable and communicative. Kurt made me feel more confident in buying a house. I would very highly recommend him.

Buyer
Kurt was supportive throughout this whole process and made everything so easy to go through. All of his recommendations for people needed as a part of the process (i.e. mortgage broker, inspector, etc.) were excellent. During this difficult buyers market, he helped me present the best offer possible and his knowledge of construction made me feel comfortable that I was making the right decision on my home purchase. I highly recommend Kurt for anyone looking to purchase a home!

Buyer and Seller
Kurt has worked with us for over 2 years to find a new home. He was patient, knowledgable and responsive. He pointed out pros and cons to properties we were considering to make sure we had all the information needed to make a decision. We decided on a new build and Kurt helped us through the initial meetings with the builder. When it came time to sell our home, he provided valuable information on staging to make sure the house showed at its best.
He is always professional and will do whatever is needed to insure the best deal is made. We would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.

Buyer
We were very pleased to have Kurt as our buyer's agent with our recent purchase of a home. Kurt kept us up to date on any listings that were coming available and was very flexible in working with us in viewing potential homes. We also believe his expertise and years of experience strongly helped us through a multiple offer listing that we were eventually able to purchase. We would highly recommend Kurt.
