Luke went above and beyond in the sale of my dads home while I resides in another state. He exhibited integrity, honesty, organization, and he was an effective communicator as there were many moving parts. I highly recommend Luke to represent buyers or sellers in the tri-state area!

We were in an unenviable situation as Lukes customers were buying our house and we had no where to go since the house we were buying fell through. Luke had no obligation financially or otherwise but he helped us find a temporary home and supported us in finding a new home. He went above and beyond when he didnt have to and wed recommend him for that and his professionalism, level of detail and expertise.

We only wish we would have listed with Luke sooner! Despite the distance and the difficult home sale process, Luke delivered in his guarantee and got us a sale. Even when we were frustrated and thought there was no hope, Luke kept plugging away promoting our home and hosting open houses...his determination and dedication to us as clients gave us peace of mind as we were 5 hours away. We can't thank Luke enough for everything! List or buy with Luke because just as he says...it's not a happy home unless it's a Tappe home!

I was looking for a home that needed updating and after refurbing had enough potential for me to be able to make some profit I decide in the future to sell. Luke understood this and showed me properties within the guidelines that I wanted. Without trying to sell me on something I didn't want Luke was always willing to immediately set up a showing, offer his views on not only the upsides but also the downsides of a property as it related to my needs. He was pleasant and professional. I have no complaints and will use Luke again in the future.

Luke was great throughout my selling experience. He contracted a photographer that took some great photos and did a 3D walkthrough of the home. He was communicative and help me negotiate and sell my place for a good price in less than a month.

I ran into Luke a couple of times through local open houses when we were first looking for a house. He wasn't pushy about getting us to go through him to find a house. When we were ready to get serious about finding a home, he was jolly on the spot. He has been in the area for a long time, so he knows the local market. He was prompt on getting us through the steps with lots of help, especially since we are first time home buyers.

Call Luke today aEUR" he wont disappoint! My husband and I had made the decision to move from our first home to something a little bit bigger. We got Lukes name and number from a good friend of ours, so I emailed him for help. He responded right away that he would love to help us and within a week we had a FOR SALE sign in our yard. He was very attentive and understanding throughout the whole process. I would say that both the process of selling and buying our homes had hiccups, but who doesnt have that? Our first home sold rather quickly and it took close to two months for us to find our dream home. Over those few months, Luke stuck with us and was more than willing to keep showing us properties, but also keep us up-to-date with what was happening on the home we were selling. I'm also somewhat of a worrier and my husband is the complete opposite. Luke was able to explain just exactly what needed to happen or be done and if he wasnt for sure, he was back to us within the day with an answer. Not only did he help settle my anxiety of the life changing decisions we were making, but he also never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question or being a bother (especially when I knew I probably was.) Luke was very professional and down to earth throughout both processes. He got to know both my husband and I and what expectations we had. We were looking for a preferably move in ready home, but were willing to take on somewhat of a fixer upper. Of course, we had a list of aEURoemust havesaEUR?aEUR| a basement, certain amount of bedrooms and bathrooms, specific guest space, garage and the list went on and onaEUR| last but not least, we wanted all of these things for a certain price. Just when Id decided Id set my sights too high (which my husband had been telling me); Luke came through with the home wed be searching for. Thank you, Luke Tappe! And as you told us, aEURoeIts not a HAPPY HOMEaEUR| Unless its a Tappe HOME!aEUR? Thanks Again, Hadley DeFraia
