All of this indicates a shortage of homes for sale in our current market, especially in lower price ranges. Nevertheless, demand is still strong.

These conditions combined with the fact that rates are still low means that now is a great time for sellers. It’s a great time to cash out as a seller while the market is still in your favor.

They are good team and would do a good job for you, hire them!"

Brenda - "The Penrose Team was just always there for us and kept us up to date with the whole process. We weren’t actually the ones that purchased the home, my in-laws did but they included us in everything which was awesome. They were just absolutely wonderful and if we ever needed anything, they were there to answer."

Amanda - "We had very positive results when we worked with the Penrose team especially when it came to the negotiations for the contract. We had some things to go over about the roof and Christin really took that at hand and worked with the sellers to make sure that we were getting the best possible outcome. They really took care of us!"

Bill - "They were able to sell our home in pretty difficult circumstances. We had some terrible construction in front of our house, there were a lot of pigeons and their droppings, and the HOA wasn’t keeping up the property as well as they should have. When people were complaining about the droppings, they dispatched someone out to the house to tidy it up and they just kept going until they found a buyer for us. The whole experience was just great all the way around."

John - "They are absolutely phenomenal. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service I received. Nicole, Christin, and Jason were just really exceptional to work with and they all went above and beyond to help us."

Linda -"We had a previous real estate person who had the house for five months. There were no offers or anything. Jason and his team came in, took pictures, put it up on the MLS, and sold the house within a week for the full asking price. The girls in the office were very helpful. The buyer had neglected to mention that he was married, so they had to overnight a form for his wife to sign. They kept me updated throughout, and they were right on top of it the whole time!"

Cathi -"I want to thank Jason and his team for getting us through this transaction and selling our house! The last several months have been crazy, and we finally got the deal done. It would not have happened without Jason and his entire team, particularly Nicole. She has been my partner every step of the way. She's awesome. She was right on top of things and put up with my constant questions, which we really appreciated. At times it didn't feel like this transaction would be successful, and thanks to them it was!"
