Renee was so much more than just our realtor throughout this entire process. From the very beginning, she was patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and truly felt like someone who was in our corner every step of the way. Buying a home can be stressful enough on its own, but our journey definitely had its share of unexpected obstacles, delays, questions, and moments where we werent sure how everything was going to come together. Renee never made us feel like we were bothering her, never made us feel rushed, and never stopped advocating for us. She answered our questions, helped us navigate problems as they came up, kept communication moving between everyone involved, and celebrated the victories right along with us. What meant the most to me was that she understood this wasnt just a transaction. This was our home. This was something we worked incredibly hard for, and she treated it with the same care and importance that we did. There were times during this process when things became frustrating and overwhelming, and having someone experienced, calm, and genuinely invested in seeing us make it to the finish line made such a difference. Today, we get to say that we are homeowners, and Renee will always be part of that story. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for our family. If you are looking for a realtor who will communicate with you, advocate for you, guide you through the process, and genuinely care about the people behind the purchase, I wholeheartedly recommend Renee Estes. Thank you, Renee, for helping us get HOME.
Renee was great helping me navigate my first solo home purchase. She was super responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and an advocate for me when needed!
Working with Renee on both the purchase and sale of our investment property was an exceptional experience. From day one, she approached everything with a strong understanding of the investment side of real estateaEUR"not just buying and selling, but maximizing returns and minimizing risk. When we were purchasing, she helped us evaluate deals beyond just surface-level appeal. She provided insights on rental potential, neighborhood trends, and long-term appreciation, which gave us a lot of confidence in our decision. Her ability to spot value and negotiate effectively made a real difference in securing the property at the right price. On the selling side, she executed a clear, strategic plan. From pricing the property correctly to positioning it for the right buyers, everything was handled with precision. The marketing was strong, the process was smooth, and we were able to sell quickly while achieving an excellent return. What stood out most was her communication, dedication and professionalism. She was always responsive, transparent, and proactiveaEUR"keeping us informed at every step and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. If youre looking for an agent who truly understands investment properties and treats your goals like their own, I highly recommend working with Renee!

Working with Renee was an absolute pleasure! Selling a home for the first time, and buying can be overwhelming. Renee helped the process of both feel seamless, by promptly answering calls and emails keeping me informed along the process. The first meeting her and I had together she stated she will handle the stress for me and provide me with the correct point of contacts to get my home sell to secure my dream home.

Renee was an amazing person to work with! She steered me into the right direction, and I couldnt have done this without her. She is very kind, respectful, patient, and works hard and quickly. Renee went above and beyond by providing me with an homebuyers packet, that included the houses we visited, all contact information that I needed, and business cards too. She answered my calls and texts quickly, and I am so grateful to have had Renee with me during this process. I highly recommend working with Renee.
Renee did an outstanding job she help me from the beginning to the end. She helped me even when she thought she couldnt.

Renee was an amazing help start to finish! I work varied hours and she was there to assist any time I needed it. She has gone above and beyond many times and I could not recomend her more highly!
Renee was kind, helpful, and responsive throughout the home buying process. Not only was she able to swiftly provide a tour, but she was also able to quickly provide an offer that was pivotal in acquiring the desired property. Her guidance and fast feedback was invaluable in making all subsequent steps of the home buying process easy to navigate.
Renee was amazing from start to finish. Very easy to work with. Great negotiator. The best at keeping buyer & seller happy. Fabulous with recommendations as well!
Rene is THE best real estate agent I have worked with. She truly has her clients interest and well being when finding a home, during the process, and after closing. She is honest and has immense attention to detail. She helped me find a home that met my whole criteria and budget (I'm extremely picky), and she also helped me sell the house I lived in. She has become not only a trusted real estate agent; she also became a family friend.
Renee' did a fantastic job in helping us find our house. She was there every time we needed her and her knowledge of the properties we looked at was amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.
Renee is absolutely amazing! She knows her stuff! I was a 1st time homebuyer and her insight and guidance made buying my first home worth it. I closed on my home yesterday and my soon to be wife loves our new home. She is relatable and really put my mind at ease and I was able to trust the process and her knowledge. Even after the close, she has gone above and beyond taking care of things. Less than 3 months later, I'm a homeowner. Love her for life!
Renee did an awesome job sticking with us through the home buying process... and it was a very long process. Showing many houses before we found the perfect one. And the perfect one was brought to our attention by Renee. She is an amazing real estate agent and really just an amazing person. She is extremely knowledgeable and walked us through the ins and outs of the process. If you're looking for an agent to work on your behalf and find the perfect house, Renee is your girl. I wish I could give a millions stars!!! Highly recommend!

Renee did a wonderful job. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was also was very patience with me on my search. I will refer her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
There were 19/20 bids on our houseaEUR|WE GOT IT. She was on call ANYTIME, she stayed later and showed us 2 homes in all. I would definitely recommend her to anyone buying. She also negotiated the purchase of some of the furniture in the home. Great Relator, wonderful experience. Very happy with our purchase. It should also be noted the home was listed on Zillow as aEURoecoming soonaEUR? but she did what had to be done. It never officially went on sell on Zillow. It went from aEURoecoming soonaEUR? to aEURoependingaEUR? to now aEURoeSOLDaEUR?. Wonderful
Renee was great to work with. She was very diligent throughout the process. We highly recommend her. The process was challenging but she was patient and she did everything in her power to get the job done. She was very informative and had a great since of humor.
She was helpful,and also knowledgeable about the house market. We built a good relationship with her,also she took her time to show and help us what we needed.
Renee was the best. She knew exactly how to list our home to sell quickly. I would highly recommend her. She took all of the guess work out of what to list for. She was knowledgeable about every aspect of the sale. She kept us informed through out the whole process.
Renee was an excellent realtor to work with. I am not easy to work with when it comes to big decisions such as buying a house. I ran her in every direction for months until I found the perfect house. She stood with me through the whole process with patience , knowledge and reassurance. She also has a great team behind her with the financing, insurance and closing. She only uses professionals such as herself. If you are in need of a realtor, I would suggest giving her a call.
Great experience loved working with her. She is patient and receptive. Was there every time I needed her. Answer phone and text immediately great communication. She answered all questions and if she didn't know she found out right away.
Renee made valuable renovation recommendations that brought me an offer 16,000 above my asking price, which I already thought was high based on a prior realtor's comments. This was my first time selling a house, and the first realtor I met didn't recommend any changes, and suggested a much lower price. The whole selling process was smooth from start to finish.
We had a realtor on the Missouri side before coming to the Illinois side. Thats when we found Renee. While we liked our realtor, Renee was still a breath of fresh air because it was very hard for us to schedule showings with our previous realtor. Some days she wouldnt respond for the entire day which was nerve wrecking because we were from out of town and relied on her to be able to look at houses for us. With Renee, we didnt have this problem at all. She immediately answered us and on the very first day, looked at three houses and put an offer in on a house for us. Every time I asked her a question, she got back to us right away. She got the job done and was able to get everything we asked for. We definitely recommend Renee!
Anyone looking to buy a home, Should use Renee Estes, as their agent. I was a first time buyer, and Renee's experience was just what I needed. Renee got me the home I wanted. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank You Renee.
Renee was awesome throughout our entire purchase!! Since we were moving from AZ to Illinois- she handled all our questions and issues in a very timely manner!! We wouldnt hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends!!Thanks Renee!!
I had a nightmare scenario trying to sell my house in New Jersey so that I could buy one in Illinois. Even though nothing seemed to work out Renee was with me the entire time coaching me on what to do and what questions to ask my other Realtors. Because of her guidance and the guidance of my broker I was able to sell my house in New Jersey and I'm currently sitting in closing for my house in Illinois. She is incredibly knowledgeable about military moving and I can say that without her help I would still be looking for a house. I cannot say enough good things about her.
Renee was an amazing realtor. It was our first time buying a house and coming from a different state we were nervous. Renee made sure to give us honest feedback when doing virtual walkthroughs for us. She was extremely knowledgeable and would answer any silly questions we had. Honestly the process of buying a house was so smooth with all her help.
Renee has been a fantastic help throughout the entire process of looking and buying a house. Any issues that came up during the process she was able to help solve with personal knowledge or knowing who to contact for inspections.

I made a video of how great our experience was on Tiktok as me and my little girls have quite an audience on there @Jermaine.McNeese... And when I tell this was such a nice experience in a market that REALLY made you fight for it!We did NOT have to fight, Bid, go back and forth, do any crazy things all because of how Renee set our deal up. We were able to see the home, be informed about the property, make an offer and it was like wizardry because by the time I told my wife that we put the offer in, Renee contacted me saying that all is a GO!This was our first home that we purchased and the confidence level in this purchase made us feel as though we've done this for ages. Her and her broker Sean just made the entire process darn near perfect (minus regular bank hiccups lol). Literally wouldn't say a single thing negative about this deal whatsoever. It's been 4 months now and we've lived ABSOLUTELY HAPPILY in our beautiful new home. I work from home and I get to just be in awe every time I walk a hallway or enter a room. If Renee is your agent...go ahead and place your head on a pillow because this is about to feel like a day at the spa!
We fell in love with a home but could not contact the broker at all. After finding another contender, we needed to place an offer quickly or we'd lose it. I didn't want to do that without making sure the one we first loved was a total no-go. Renee helped us better understand the circumstances behind that 1st property's listing, and it became clear that we wouldn't want to try for that place at all. This saved us a lot of headache. She was kind, prompt, and well informed. Thank you again, Renee!
Renee was very easy to work with. She sold our home within 2 weeks. She responded to any of my texts or calls immediately. Very prompt & efficient. She made the process of selling our house pleasant and easy.
Excellent, friendly and responsive - kept up with our frequent information requests like a champ, and helped us do a massive whirlwind house tour to get us to find our new home!
Renee is awesome!! She made the selling process so smooth and easy for us. She helped navigate pricing, showings, closing, and everything in between. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the area!
I loved working with Renee for selling and buying my new home. She is very down to earth and tells you how it is and not just what you want to hear. I would 100% recommend Renee if you are looking for a realtor.

Hello everyone, I am so pleased I was able to have Renee guide me in my first time buying a home! Shes very attentive and helpful! Makes you feel fully comfortable and aware of details. Totally recommend letting her help you find your new journey! :) Thanks Renee!
First time home buyer here, Renee was amazing, she told me in advance what to expect, made buying the house super easy and was very kind and helpful. I wish I could give her more stars.
This was the first time ever using a realtor and Renee hit the ball out of the park. We were out of state when we started looking for a home and Renee made it super easy and she was always available to answer our questions. She would video call us for walk thrus and give us video tours of the area. When it came to closing, she is the negotiator you want in the room with you. She managed to get us 98 percent of everything we wanted. And this being a sellers market, trust me, thats huge!! Lastly, Renees friendly personality makes you feel like you have known her for ages. This makes working with her thru the stressful process of home buying very enjoyable. I would recommend Renee a thousand times over.
