    Doug was great, he was honest and very helpful. I talked to about 6 other realtors and they all wanted to lowball the price for aquick sale. Doug worked with my price and in 2 weeks we had deal at asking price. Most of the other agents were kind of insulting and didn//t seem to have the knowledge to do the job. I would give a five star rating

    My husband and I just purchased our first home. We began our initial searching with a different realtor. I felt like I was bothering or inconveniencing her anytime I had a question or sought her opinion with anything. We then decided to switch realtors and Doug was recommended to us. Best thing we could have ever possibly done. He truly went above and beyond for us during the rest of the process. From viewing more homes and providing an honest and knowledgeable opinion about each to finally finding our forever home, Doug was absolutely phenomenal. When looking at potential houses he points out any possibilities, problems and anything interesting in the home, you really can tell the amount of knowledge be brings to your corner. On top of that, our bank needed us to have handrails installed in our stairways. Having never owned a home before, we had no idea what we were doing (even with such a seemingly simple task) Doug helped us install our handrails in our new home! Above and beyond what I would have ever expected in a realtor. Do yourself a huge favor and get Doug Schenk in your corner for your home buying hunt. You won't regret it.

    Doug was so great to my wife Becca and I, in our quest to find a home. He was always available to answer any and all question that we had and went above and beyond his call of duty. He even helped me install hand rails to meet FHA standards for the house we bought. Becca and I will be forever grateful for his service to us and we will recommend him whenever we get a chance to.

    Doug was wonderful. He is knowledgeable and easy to work with. He is very friendly and kind. He was very compassionate in our particular situation. He was always available to answer our questions or meet with us. We never felt as if we were bothering him no matter how many times he was contacted. He was willing to do whatever he needed to do to help us sell our house. He kept in contact with us throughout the entire process. He was very thorough in explaining the paperwork and processes involved in selling a house. He gently provided advice when we needed it. I would not hesitate to recommend Doug to anyone needing a realtor.

    As a first time homeowner, I was extremely lucky to choose Douglas S. Schenck as my agent. His vast experience and knowledge of the area and the inner workings of the process made everything go smoothly and fast. He guided us step by step through everything in layman's terms and made sure we were 100% satisfied with our new home, and we are! Definitely the guy to go if you want to buy or sell a property, thank you so much!
