ZillowVERIFIEDJeff was an amazing realtor to work with. This was our first time selling a home, and he made the process absolutely seamless. He is very knowledgeable, and his communication during the whole process was impeccable. We couldn't have asked for a more personable or more professional person to work with than Jeff. He truly cares about his clients, and it shows. Thank you for guiding us through this whole process and making sure our best interests were always put first. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a realtor. We couldn't have picked anyone better!

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff is an amazing realtor and person. His services are on point every step of the way of selling our parents home. When we had a question, he answered it very quickly. He explained everything about selling the home. Plus what we needed to do to get it ready for sale. He gave us a quote of what he thought was a good price for the home. He was on point with what we thought it was worth. Thank you Jeff, we will definitely tell people about our experience with you.

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff is an excellent Realtor. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. He did and outstanding job assisting us in both the sale of our current home, and the purchase of our new one! He answered any and all questions we had anytime we asked him. He is very knowledgeable about the housing market, the way it works, etc. He walked us through every step of the process with ease; and for that we will be forever grateful to him. He is hard working, punctual, dedicated, caring, honest and trustworthy. We are so happy we chose him to be our realtor! We would choose him to advise and represent us again in the future without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDI am so glad that I chose Jeff Kakos as my realtor when I made plans to sell my home in Marysville, MI. He really looks out for his client's interests in ways that made a big difference in my sale. He both knows what properties in this area are being assessed at as well as what the market is asking. Jeff made sure to price my house at a price to attract many buyers. We listed the house at 9:30 on a Wednesday - had 5 viewing that day - had 2 the next day and by Thursday at 4 Jeff came to me with 3 offers. I sold my house for way over asking! He also made sure the contract had an assessment guarantee as well as 30 days after closing at no cost for me to move out. I would recommend Jeff to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff assisted me in selling my first home. He explained the market, valuation of home, and what to expect from buyers/other realtors. He gave his honest opinion on deals , only after hearing my input/opinion. Jeff was dedicated to getting my home sold but in a respectful and highly professional manner. He communicated with me instantly after each showing, ensuring I knew what was happening and kept me in the loop 24/7. Jeff is a amazing realtor.

My wife and I had our aunts home to sell in Port Huron, Michigan, and move her into assisted living. This would be difficult, especially since we live in Orland Park, Illinois, 335 miles away from Port Huron. Weve had some experience in buying and selling homes, but that was many years ago. Now were in our 70s. We had several challenges. Distance, getting the house cleaned out, possible estate sale, doing any necessary repairs, moving our aunt to assisted living and selling her home for the best possible price in a timely fashion. We researched the internet extensively to find a highly rated realtor whose professional experience would guide us through the process. Jeff Kakos from Hanging Gardens Realty, Port Huron, Michigan is the highest rated realtor on all the internet sites with excellent reviews. We met Jeff at our aunts house for the first time and within an hour, we signed a contract to sell. We knew immediately he was outstanding. From the initial contract to closing was 34 days. He had a time-tested plan to sell, right from the start, with excellent communication at every turn. Phone calls, emails, and text messages. We could not have been more pleased. Jeff managed the sale from start to finish. Pricing, negotiating, help with necessary repairs, thoughtful suggestions and more. Jeff Kakos from Hanging Gardens Realty is the ultimate real-estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe way things should be done!I find most people and services these days lacking, falling short of my minimal expectations. I found Jeff to be very knowledgeable, professional, direct and swift to reply. He was patient, answering all my questions in detail as well as continuously updating me along the way without having to contact him first. I am very please with his assistance selling my home in a very timely manner. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone I know.

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff was great to work with through the entire process of listing our home all the way through closing. He has a strong knowledge of the housing market in the Blue Water area and fought to get us the top-dollar for our home. His communication throughout was excellent and we couldn't have been happier with the support he provided us. If you are looking to buy or sell, you should be calling Jeff and his team.

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff Kakos with Hanging Gardens is absolutely incredible! He went out of his way to find an amazing deal for us and worked hard to ensure everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Jeff took the time to explain all aspects of the home buying process to us and made it very clear and simple to understand. He is down to earth and really cares about what is best for his clients. When we're ready to move, we will definitely contact Jeff for our next deal. Can't say enough good things about Jeff and the Hanging Gardens team.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just experienced the VERY best real estate transaction we have ever been a part of just prior to Christmas 2020. We interviewed 3 different real estate companies. When we met Jeff Kakos, we immediately felt that he was the most practical and knowledgeable real estate broker in St. Clair County. He presented us with a plan on how he would sell our home and had the facts and figures to support his method.Although we may have disagreed a bit in the beginning, we decided to trust his expertise and the results were far beyond our expectations! He listed our home at 10:30 AM on a Tuesday and we had the BEST POSSIBLE OFFER by 8 PM the same day!Believe it or not we closed approx 5 weeks later. Trust me - You won't be sorry. Cj And Tom

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff is amazing! He was able to sell my house within hours of listing it. I trusted Jeff with his market value and we got top dollar for my home. More than other agents estimated I'd get for it! Jeff was always honest with me, patient and on top of everything. He is easy to communicate with and incredibly knowledgeable of the market right now. I loved working with him and look forward to continuing to work with him as a buyer now!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy brother highly recommended Jeff to sell our recently deceased parents house. He was impressed with his expertise and knowledge and his ability to find a buyer in a relatively quick amount of time. Jeff had sold several of my brothers rental homes as well as his personal residence. So my sister and I happily agreed to list with Jeff. Right off the bat, he had showings lined up, and gave us tips on how to make the house look more marketable. He went above and beyond what we had expected. Only a couple weeks later, a wonderful buyer was found and the closing went off without a hitch. So happy Jeff was our guy through this happy/sad time because all of us children had grown up in that house. If buying or selling real estate is in your future, Jeff is certainly your guy!

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff was awesome through the whole process with my mom. From our first meeting with him, he sat down and took time to explain everything and anything she asked. He made sure she was absolutely ready to sell her home. After she listed it and accepted an offer, Jeff called and let her know where they were in the process and what to expect. He was outstanding and we were thankful to have him!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy mother recently passed in Port Huron and I had to settle her estate which included selling her home. A friend of mine recommended Jeff. I'm from out of state so all of my dealings with Jeff were through email and FedEx. Jeff was extremely responsive in getting the house listed and very quickly had the house sold. The closing was painless and without any problems. This was the easiest real estate transaction Ive ever experienced and that is a direct reflection on the way Jeff does business.

ZillowVERIFIEDWow! WHAT A PRO! Unfortunately my sister passed away unexpectedly and I was one of the executors of her estate. I live over 600 miles out of the area and inquired locally as to whom might be able to help us with evaluating my sisters home. Jeff was referred to me by a trusted person who worked for a local title company in the area who knew Jeff well. I called Jeff on the title company recommendation and Jeff immediately dropped everything and responded to our inquiry. He came to meet me within am hour of my initial call to him. I was impressed with Jeff immediately. Jeff was "dead on" with his initial evaluation of the "fair market value of the home" and was honest about how to put it on the market at a "fair" price. Within two hours of our initial meeting Jeff he had come to me with comparable sales in the area validating the price he suggested list the home. I were so impressed with his expertise we immediately listed the home with him that same day. We received 5 offers on the home within a week and we accepted the most qualified buyer at the full asking price. When the bank home appraisal was completed the house appraised at EXACTLY the price Jeff suggested we list the home. We received an offer for the full asking price of the home with ZERO contingencies. The sale was consummated and closed. Jeff kept me up to date almost daily on any activity and the progress of the sale. The sale was completed without one hitch. I am a senior executive in a major financial service firm in the USA. I have transacted numerous real estate purchases and sales in my past I deal with numerous professionals in many fields. Jeff is one of the most professional and educated individuals I have ever had the honor of dealing with in his industry. He is the ultimate real estate professional. I hope I will have the opportunity to do another transaction with him in the future. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a honest and true professional. Jeff, wishing you continued success! All the best, JHD

ZillowVERIFIEDJeff came highly recommended by a close friend. When I called to see if he could conduct a market analysis on my rental home, he drove by that very day, and contacted me with details the same night. I live out of state, and when I traveled to MI to inspect the house, Jeff met me there that morning. Approximately two hours after shaking his hand, the house was officially on the market. His analysis of price point was right on, and we had multiple offers at asking price within three days. Additionally, as I could not be present at closing, Jeff handled all activities with professionalism and attention to detail, placing an emphasis on my comfort level. Should I move back to MI in the future, Jeff will be my first call.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have purchased a couple of homes through Jeff now, and we were very satisfied with the process.... no snags or surprises from start to finish. I always highly recommend him to people buying and selling that I associate with. He knows what the real values are and always gets the selling price right, so that you are not left waiting for months and possibly years to sell your house. No doubt he'll handle my next purchase. John C.Why deal with the rest, when you can have the best.

ZillowVERIFIEDI called Jeff with zero knowledge about buying a home and during our first call; he spent over a half hour on the phone with me, educating me! This education continued as we went from home to home and I learned so much! Jeff is helpful and not a "know it all". He listened to my every word and accommodated my every want in a home. He helped me stay in budget and gave me pointers. Because of Jeff, our soon to be family of 5 has a perfect first home, in the perfect neighborhood with the perfect neighbors!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI've known Jeff and his family for many years, but this was this first time that I've met with him in a professional regard. I needed help selling my deceased grandmother's home, and am so thankful that I called him! He did everything he could to make the whole process very easy, and from finding the seller to the closing, it was only a matter of weeks! He made sure that I understood all of the process, returned calls very promptly (if he didn't answer right away, that is), and did a fantastic job! Highly recommended!

He saved us thousands of dollars by advising us to not do some pricey upgrades to our house. We had some bumps along the way, but Jeff was there anytime we needed information, support and guidance. It is hard to find a professional who you truly trust...give Jeff a chance and he will earn your trust, as he did ours.

He got to know the type of house I was looking for and helped weed out a lot of options that did not fit my criteria and also gave me options that I would like as well, which saved me a lot of time and headaches. Jeff was a great agent and I would recommend him to anyone!
