Whether that means renting or buying, your priorities will be top-of-mind for John MacLeod and Susan Bonstelle, your partners in real estate who will help to guide you throughout this journey.

"We contacted Nick Bonstelle over a year ago to talk about selling our home and he gave us valuable i… Read Morenformation to get ready to list, things we should do, things we didn’t need to do, etc. We knew we wanted to list in the spring and we had a lady approach us who heard from a neighbor that we were going to be listing our home. We talked to Nick and agreed to show her our home prior to listing and she fell in love with it and wanted to purchase it. Nick worked for both us as seller and her as buyer and prepared all the paperwork, made the recommendation to her to get an inspection, do a last minute walk through before closing, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable on both the selling end and the buying end and we were all very happy with him and highly recommend him to help you buy or sell your home!"

"THE ABSOLUTE BEST REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE EVER! 100000000% recommend! Sue was the realtor of our drea… Read Morems! This team was available whenever we needed them, day or night always on the hunt. Sue was available for us for showings wherever we wanted, practically whenever we wanted, and if she couldn’t make it, someone from the team could! This was the 3rd realtor team we found after being unhappy over and over again. Sue provided us with all honest knowledge and feedback, and as first time homebuyers, this was ESSENTIAL. She was honest, to the point, and helped us make the biggest decisions in our life. She was quick with paperwork and always super transparent. In a world where you get stuck on an email list until you reach out to the realtor, this team proved to be so much different. We were on an email list, but ON TOP OF THAT, Sue WOULD PERSONALLY WORK! She would find us a really good house and go out of her way to text it to us or call! How amazing is that. We couldn’t have had such an awesome experience without this amazing lady, and her team! 10000000% recommend!!!!!!" Read Less
