The Krause Basler Team helped us to list and sell our house in 2 days at full price!! The Team is very well organized and has expertise in all areas from accessing house condition, recommending selling strategy to finally closing!! This is the best team I have met so far!! Special thanks to Tom and Caroline, without their expertise and tremendous supports, I do not think that the house can be sold within 2 days at full prices!! I will recommend the team to all my friends!! Wish them continued success in 2021!!!

I have worked with the Krause Basler Team in the past and have always been given exceptional professional Real Estate Services. I've bought and sold using this Team and I return for any of my Real Estate needs because they never fail me, in any way. It's not just the Real Estate Agent who I work most closely with but the whole team that supports the buying or selling activities and tasks behind the scenes. The support staff works closely with the financing and title organizations as well as scheduling and following up with city or county regulations, home appraiser's, home inspector's, staging design consultants and even contractors needed to make repairs or updates prior to putting a house on the market or based on home inspection findings prior to buying or selling. You just can't ask for any more than what The Krause Basler Team has to offer.

The Krause-Basler Team had more visitors and open houses in three months than our other two companies combined 9 months. They are very knowledgeable about my area as well as how to handle prospective buyers. I would highly recommend them.

We have had the opportunity to both buy and sell (multiple times) with The Krause Basler Team. I cannot say enough nice things about them!! Honesty, hard work, efficiency and the ability to get the job done are just a few of their traits. Weve used The Krause Basler Team for home and land purchases, and we have had smooth, easy transactions. I was impressed with how quickly they were able to get things done for us. Thanks Krause Basler Team!!

The Krause Basler Team went above and beyond in the sale of our home! I've contracted Dawn Krause several times over the years and her professionalism is exceptional. Her command of the local market and setting pricing strategies has enabled us to sell our homes quickly and profitably. Thanks again and I would recommend the KB team over and over again!

Tom and Dawn did a great job with the sale of our home. Tom gave us a thorough market analysis before we decided on our initial price and then periodically during the time it was on the market. Their staging person gave us great ideas on ways to showcase our home. The marketing plan they put together for the home brought good visibility to our home. Tom kept us well informed on any showings, including feedback from the realtors and potential buyers. We were very pleased with the services that the Krause Basler Team provided and would highly recommend them.

This team jumped right on my listing. The photo shoot was great and we had an open house quickly. I liked the app for showing of my apartment. I had a very good offer within a month of first meeting with Tom. Everything went smoothly even given COVID. I appreciated the speed and professionalism since I was moving from St. Louis to New York. I highly recommend the Krause Basler team.

We highly recommend the Krause Basler Team! From start to finish, their team was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and thorough. Their expertise resulted in our house selling within 24 hours - at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We worked with the Krause Basler Team (specifically Tom Basler) for the sale of our house and property. Our house was a unique property in the St. Charles area in that it was a Large Home with property, a custom barn, unique pool and heavily landscaped property. It would take just the right buyer to purchase this property. It took us about 9 months to find the right buyer for a home like this and we even had to consider whether we would relist. with them after 6 months. We are so glad that we made the decision to relist with them because they were able to do some unique things to really get movement into the home once winter was over. We really enjoyed working with them and actually used them. a few months later to help us sell a a lot that we owned. They were able to sell this lot within two weeks of listing, where normally it takes 9-12 months to sell lots in this subdivision.We highly recommend using there team. They are very responsive, highly knowledgeable of the market and how to move a home, as well as able to be creative to help move properties in a manner that both parties come out of the sale getting what they need.

Tom Basler was very professional from first introduction and proposal to the closing of the sale. He was careful to understand all of our needs and took and was very involved in all the details from beginning, staging the house, providing the right targeted marketing, managing our expectations of what it would take, and final closing.
