Here are just a few of the great things that past buyers and
sellers are saying about Howard:
.
Howard was great! He provided full transparency
through the entire process and negotiated accordingly. We would highly
recommend Howard for anyone interested in buying a house in the area. He was
prompt, easily reached and just a pleasure to work with. Absolute great guy. •
A. Colman
.
I just closed on the sale of my single family
rental home in Hagerstown, MD and am so happy I chose Howard to work with.
Howard understood the local market and put together a plan and pricing that
helped sell my house very quickly at top price. As I live over an hour away, I
needed someone that could handle the details, respond quickly, and set me up
for success. I would recommend Howard to anyone looking for a knowledgeable
realtor that understands the ins an outs of all the local markets. • D. Kaufman
.
Howard was very generous with his time, taking
us all over his territory. When we found the house we wanted, it had a few
major home inspection issues. We were working on a tight time frame and he kept
on top of getting them resolved. Everything went very smoothly and we recommend
him strongly. He also has had great recommendations for companies to get
repairs, painting, carpeting, blinds, etc. -- very grateful for those! • A. Barney
.
Howard did an outstanding job supporting us
through the house hunting process. As a couple that had never purchased a home
before, we had a lot to learn. Howard was incredibly patient and allowed us to
move at our own pace as we attempted to narrow our search (location, type of
house, etc.). He also taught us a lot along the way, in terms of what to look
for when visiting a property, as well as how prices could be negotiated. Howard
was always quick to respond to our emails and calls, and was very accommodating
when it came to meeting up for a showing. He is a kind, sincere person who also
understands the real estate business and is always ready to support his clients
in all possible ways. We highly recommend working with Howard. • C. Brady
.
Howard is a great realtor to work with. This is
the second property he has sold for me. I highly recommend him. He is honest,
dependable and will return your calls. He is also very personable. • J. Dehaven
.
Howard was wonderful to work with. He was
professional, friendly and very experienced. His local knowledge and connection
with the community really helped get our unique home noticed quickly and under
contract in a week! I highly recommend him and his team. - J. Pickering
.
This is our 3rd time working with Howard. His
expertise is apparent and his knowledge of the market helped us to quickly
assess offers. Very responsive to questions and worked well with other
professionals involved in the selling, and closing process. • C. Jackson
.
We have worked with Howard twice - once when we
bought our home, and eleven years later when we sold it. In both cases, he was
the consummate professional - knowledgeable, wise and patient when things hit a
snag. But best of all is his personality; thoughtfully optimistic,
detail-oriented and pleasant to do business with. You will be glad you chose
this exceptional, talented agent. • K. Thornton
.
Howard & his team are Outstanding, we cannot
recommend highly enough. Over the last year, my wife and I were searching for a
home from over 150 miles away during a very stressful time in our lives;
transitioning to retirement and being struck by several family crisis almost
one on top of the other. Howard was so patient with all of our issues, delays,
and setbacks. He went well beyond our Realtor to be the life coach we couldn't
have gotten through it without. I truly believe in my heart that you could not go
wrong working with Howard Kronthal for your real estate needs, even if yours
are much simpler and easier which we wish for you sincerely. Thank You So Much
Howard. - P. Clouser
