I have used Bethany with Stonecrest Realty 3 times. Twice for selling and once for buying. Her experience and professionalism is second to none. The way Bethany explains every step of the way in an easy way to understand has always kept me feeling confident and comfortable in the process. Ive never felt swayed or pushed in any direction during any of our dealings whether looking at houses or adjusting pricing to sell my own. Overall Bethany is a great person! Thats what keeps me coming back to her.

Bethany did a wonderful job helping us navigate through the selling of our home. Having a unique property made for some challenges and Bethany went upon and beyond to help us secure our sale. During what at times can be a stressful time Bethany was there to answer any and all questions we had along the way. I would highly recommend her, shes very knowledgeable in her field !

Bethany was so amazing, kind and knowledgeable throughout the whole real estate transaction when we both bought and sold our house. We knew she really cared about us and our family and was advocating for our best interest. We would 100% recommend her to anyone in that area! Thank you, Bethany!

Bethany Lydem from Stonecrest Reality is the best! From the day we hired her for our listing, to closing day, I can honestly say she was there for us. No question went unanswered. Throughout the whole process we depended on her and she never let us down. She is extremely knowledgeable. You will never regret using Bethany. Selling or buying a house can be so emotional and nerve wracking. You need a competent realtor leading the way. Shes it!
