Very professional, we took a LOT of time over various periods we were in a stop and go periods in trying to sell our existing property which caused a lot of delays but Zak never gave up he stayed with us. We were very appreciative of his assistance

Zak Knebel and Camille Hoover were the best! We saw dozens of houses over eight months and we were amazed at how diligent and flexible they were throughout the process. Both were extremely responsive when asked to schedule house viewings and reached out when we there were private or public listings that they thought we might be interested in. Whether it was one house or four, they made sure we were able to see any house we wanted. I cannot emphasize how much they knew about the area, having lived in the area themselves. In no way did we feel rushed to make decisions, and appreciated the advice they provided on the requirements of buying an older home. While the process was stressful, we couldnt have done it without them - if you want to look for a home with knowledgeable, patient realtors look no further! Weve already recommended them to friends and coworkers and encourage you to reach out too!

We have known Zak for many years and this was the 2nd home that a member of our family made use of his services. Zak was communicative, even when there was some not so good new to deliver (2 offers, not clients of Zak, fell through). He was positive and encouraging that our home would sell, and it did!

Zak has been great to work with and we would definitely recommend him! He is always quick to answer any questions we have had through the years and has been easy to reach. Hes always been able to give great references and suggestions for inspection to other things that come in the process of home buying. He is honest and upfront which we really valued in the home buying process! He was never pushy and made sure we felt comfortable and confident.

Zak Knebel is an excellent realtor who provided me with realistic expectations and excellent guidance throughout the process of selling my condo. He always responded timely, and at times even by text and with a personal call to the same inquiry. Selling one's home is a stressful activity and Zak Knebel provided confidence with his calm demeanor and positive attitude. I always felt good about our interactions and with his help and support closed the sale smoothly.
