Gene gave me peace of mind and took all of the worry away from me selling my of home of 18 years.When he says aEURoeIve got thisaEUR? he means it. Thats a cost that cant be measured.
Gene was ELITE. He was absolutely FANTASTIC during the process and OVER communicated (which we appreciated, especially in this market). We truly felt that Gene went above and beyond in this experience ... We'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!
As first time buyers in an especially difficult market, Gene was a pleasure to work with! He listened to our wants and needs and was on top of recommending homes that met those needs as soon as they came available. He made time to show us any homes we were interested in and gave us sound advice about the homes we were viewing. We are thrilled with the home we purchased and grateful to Gene for all of his assistance to make it happen. We highly recommend Gene whether you are buying or selling!
Gene was an absolute aEURoemastermindaEUR? when it came to staging, listing, and selling our current home AND in finding the perfect landing spot for us in our new home. His recommendations in preparing our house for sale were reasonable, and spot on, to make sure we got the most out of our property. We met early, laid out a plan, and followed the roadmap all the way up to listing our home. When it came to accepting an offer, Gene was honest with his opinions, but left the ball in our court for us to decide which offer we were comfortable with. As an aEURoeemotionalaEUR? buyer, Gene was able to keep us on a level keel when looking at properties to purchase. His experience, and intuition, in every aspect of real estate was so very helpful. Gene was extremely professional in every aspect, but he was also a joy to work with and have represent us as we entered the aEURoenext chapteraEUR? of our lives. There is not one single thing I feel we would have done differently, if given the chance aEUR" you will not regret putting your trust in Genes talents and abilities. We are now in our new home and THRILLED with the outcome. Thank you Gene!
We have bought and sold several houses, and we have always felt fortunate that we had good real estate professionals to assist us. But Gene Risner is as good as it gets. He has a profound understanding of all aspects of house hunting and buying (and I'm sure he's just as good at helping his clients sell), and from the start of the search to *after* we closed, Gene went far beyond what is necessary (or even expected) to make certain that we felt supported and, ultimately, happy with the process and the result. We felt like we were in expert hands throughout the whole process, and my wife and I hope to remain in touch with Gene as friends. Beyond his professionalism and incredible skill as a realtor, Gene is just a super knowledgeable, kind, and generous person. We feel so lucky to have worked with him.
Gene was a communicator and that is what I liked. He was on top of things and we truly appreciated that. Things went smoothly for our long distance situation and and we are breathing a sigh of relief all is handled. Thanks Gene!
Gene was an absolute pleasure to work with. He knows the area, took the time to understand what I was looking for, was attentive & available, was honest & always looked out for my best interest, handled every detail & made the entire process nearly effortless. I couldn't be happier with the job he did & recommend him highly.
Gene was awesome to work with from beginning to end. He set us up listings specific to our needs. Once we made an offer he fought for us. No detail was insignificant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gene to anyone!
Gene is a great realtor! This is actually our second time using him as our realtor. This time around, he was able to help us find our dream home within a week of looking! A few months after, he was also able to sell our previous home in a matter of days. He is an easy-going person with a determined, go-getter attitude. If you want to find your forever home or sell your current home, Gene is your guy!

Gene gave great advice as I was considering to sell my house. He was on top of all of the details and communicated quickly as I went through the process of selling my house. He is also very personable and easy to work with. Gave honest feedback on my house and what to expect. I would highly recommend him.
Gene did a great job and sold my home within a day. He told me what to expect from start to finish. His follow up was amazing. My home wasn't worth very much, but he still treated me like his only client.
I am so glad we had Gene help us with our first home-buying experience. He helped us navigate absolutely everything and made sure that we were comfortable before moving on to the next step. I would recommend Gene to anyone and everyone! He was honest and genuine and would let us tour the house on our own and then, when asked, he would give his thoughtful opinion. He has more knowledge of the area than anyone I can think of and was always a call or text away, no matter the time. There were a few issues on the seller's end, and Gene went above and beyond to resolve all the issues. He is meticulous and documents everything to cover his clients. The next time we find ourselves looking for a house, Gene will be the only agent on our list!
Gene was honest, hard-working and always available. Theres nobody in the area doing real estate that I trust as much as Gene!He helped me from start to finish and promptly answered any questions I had.
I was fortunate to stumble upon Gene. My first impression was that he knew the area, and he wasn't afraid to share his professional opinion. If he thought the house was over priced, under valued, or in worse condition than expected, he let me know. More importantly, he listened to what I wanted in a house, and what my plans were. He was punctual, always available, and quick to act. I never missed out on a house due to any of Gene's actions. Also, he made himself available on weekdays, evenings, weekends, and mornings for showings. It did not matter where the showing was at. He also always maintained a professional and patient approach to seeing houses. I know I looked at more houses than I thought I would, but he was never one to turn down a request to see a house. In closing, Gene is a great guy and an amazing realtor. I encourage anyone looking to buy to give him a chance to help them out.
Gene is awesome. This is the second house I have bought using Gene. The last house I purchased had multiple issues between the lenders and inspectors and almost every time he contacted me to tell me about the issue and had multiple course of action to remedy it before I even knew an issue was developing. I travel out of the area a lot for work and had full faith in Gene that he was working hard behind the scenes to get me the best deal on the best house and on time!! He definitely took a lot of the stress away from the house buying process.
Gene was awesome, very knowledgeable and patient. He advised me on the next steps to make but always left the final decision up to me. He goes to vat for his customers.
Gene was instrumental in helping us decide on which home to buy throughout our first-time home buying process. He made sure that we got the best value for our home without overpaying and meeting all of our needs at the same time. His knowledge of the industry is priceless and helped give us a peace of mind. We will refer all of our friends and family to him when they go through the process of home buying again, and we will also work with him again if we ever choose to move in the future.
Gene was very helpful and friendly. He knew exactly what we were looking for and found the perfect house for us within 2 days. In a competitive market like this it really helps to have a proactive realtor like him. Thanks so much Gene!

Gene deserves a trust 5 Star rating. He is an awesome agent. He is super attentive to details, and can be reached any time by phone, email or test. He easily answered the most complex questions, and happily answered the ones that I had to ask a few times. He is great, and I highly recommend him. Great job, Gene Risner!
Had 3 different Agents before Mr. Risner, only one showed me a property and it was way over priced. Only a few days after I spoke with Mr. Risner he took us to 5 different properties, one of which we purchased. Mr. Risner was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He explained everything that would happen all the way through the final closing. We would recommend his service to anyone searching for a new home.
After 2 years in our home we are so happy that we had Gene to help us find the right home. The market was tough and every house we put an offer on seemed to go quick. After months of seeing houses and almost wanting to quite Gene was able to find us the right house. He never gave up even when it was difficult and houses were going fast. He walked us through the process with ease. He is very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He knows all the neighborhoods in the area and ensured that we were in a great and kid friendly neighborhood. Before Gene we worked with an agent that did not care what we wanted only wanted to sell us any house. We are glad to have found Gene and had the opportunity to work with him. If we ever by another house we know that we will make sure to work with Gene again. I just want to thank Gene for all his hard work and listening to what we wanted and helped us find an amazing home that we love.
Gene was absolutely amazing. He was so patient with us in the process. I dont know how many hours we spent together looking at homes. Gene was always a phone call away. He is very passionate and knowledgeable in the real estate industry. I'm very pleased with our decision in seeking Gene as our realtor. I would highly recommend him if your looking to buy.

Gene did a great job helping us as we searched for and finally purchased a house. He was very patient as we looked at numerous homes and he answered all of our questions without hesitation. He knows the real estate market and can advise you through the ins and outs of buying a house. We highly recommend Gene!
Dedicated, knowledgeable, personable, professional. Works tirelessly to help clients through the selling/buying process. He invested a lot of time and patience with us as we went through the house hunting and buying process and was available to us round the clock.
Gene was everything we looked for, and more, in a real estate agent. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the market, professional relationships within the local real estate network, a passion for selling homes and working with buyers, and the ability to solve problems in a no nonsense fashion. He has an upbeat personality and a genuine care for the people that he works with. He enjoys his profession and it shows in the service he provides his clients. We listed with Gene in October and closed on our home at the beginning of January. It is no easy task to sell a home going into winter but Gene made sure that we continued to have showings. He was particularly good at checking in with us to make sure he was providing the service that we expected. When Gene presented the offer to us he talked us through the challenges and made recommendations that ensured a counter offer would be accepted. Thank you Gene for your professionalism and energy in making this a seamless experience!
From start to finish Gene was awesome. Even though I was overseas in a combat zone the entire time, Gene was able to use multiple forms of media and communications to ensure I was well informed of everything that was happening as it was happening. Throughout the entire process I felt that he looked out for my best interest. I had to use him as my eyes and ears during the process and he was not afraid to tell me whether something looked like a good or bad deal. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends who are looking to buy.

Gene was very professional to work with. Very responsive when we would reach out with questions about the process of selling my fathers home. We had several things that required extra attention, and he was able to provide contractors to make sure they were completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Gene to anyone who is need of a realtor. He is great!!!
Gene is fantastic. In three months he helped us sell two houses and buy one. He was organized, communicated timely, ensured deadlines were met, and most of all we did not need to worry about anything!! Thanks Gene for making a potential stressful time in our lives, not one at all.
Gene was incredibly professional, tireless, honest and patient as we searched for our new home.

We had heard great things about Gene before we actually went with him. We were seeking advice about our rental home and Gene was straight forward with us. I liked that he was available whenever we needed him and we never went more then 8 hours without a answer (that includes night time). Truthfully he answered us within the hour if not sooner. Every step of the process Gene took care of and made us comfortable with it all. He was truthful and honest and gave his professional opinion about it all. The selling process for us was incredibly smooth and easy, we would highly recommend working with Gene.

Mr. Risner is very professional and on top of things. I was able to text him questions, and he always quickly got back to me. He did an awesome job explaining things to me every step of the way when I was saling my house.
Gene was helpful and responsive during and after the home buying process. Gene did not make me feel pressured, and was quick to follow up on commitments.
In looking for a condo or small house for our daughter, Gene definitely knew the current market, had an effective networking system and took the time (and patience) to get to know our needs and preferences and work within our budget and safety needs. He was easily accessible and willing to work within our time constraints and work schedules. When we finally found aEURoethe oneaEUR?, title clearance was lengthy and he worked with us every step of the way, keeping us informed, updated and calm. Even though our daughter is a first-time home buyer, he made the process easy for her. I think he was as happy for her as we were!! Definitely a 5-Star reccomendation!!
Gene is very knowledgeable re the real estate market in this area. He is a true professional who worked hard for us to make sure we were happy with the sale of our house. We would use him again without any reservations and recommend him to anyone who wishes to sell their house or buy a home.
I was very happy with the efforts and professionalism given in regards to the sale of my home! I was made to feel confident that attention to details and to all areas that I was not even aware of were taken care of thoughly and completly.Gene does not just make you feel like he cares, but shows you that he does by all of the smallest of details that he will help you work through. By far one of the most honest and competent individuals you will ever work with from the industry! He comes highly recommended from my personal perspective of his work!
Gene was great at answering all my questions. Our house sold the first day and we wouldn't have been able to do it without him. We also sold our house for more than we thought we would be able to. Gene is extremely knowledgeable!
Gene got us the house we wanted. Gene was a hard worker. We were well quided with all phases. Gene returned all corisponses promptly. Gene is fun, but a bulldog. He has your best interest in mind. He took us on when others wouldn't. Bravo Gene Risner
