REMAX Realty Suburban Testimonials

She listened to what we wanted and really took the time and effort to find houses that fit our wants and needs. She also went above and beyond finding out past history and any information that could affect our decision about the homes we looked at. She always made us feel super comfortable and we would recommend her to anyone.

A friend recommended that I call Ms. Burns, ( THE BEST ADVICE I WOULD RECEIVE ) as Ms. Burns helped me to get my home ready. She helped me pick out paint colors, showed me how to stage the furniture, and get my home show ready! My home sold in less the two months and I got an offer wihtin the first few weeks of showings! My home sold at a price I was completely happy with! All thanks to Barb and her guidance and her professional knowledge! I would use her again and look forward to doing so when I purchase my next home!

Dave had so much patience with myself and my husband while we looked for the perfect house. We had some specific requests and were willing to wait for the right one to come along, and Dave helped us so immensely. He was always willing to take us out to see a house, even if we just wanted to see it to rule it out. He's very responsive with his clients and really gets to know what they want. He also takes as much time as necessary to help educate his clients, which is so helpful. The buying and selling process was so smooth for us thanks to Dave, and now that we're four months into our new home, I can safely say we're still totally in love with our dream house. Can't recommend him enough!

He’s an awesome person to work with and SUPER helpful and cares about getting clients the home best for them!

Her communication, follow up and follow through are outstanding. She is a true advocate for your best interests. The process from start to finish was very smooth.

From saving me a lot of money in getting the house ready for sale, to helping me find the right list price and finally getting an above ask offer on the second day on market, I couldn’t be more happy with the entire process. Definitely look Christel and Remax up when you’re ready to sell.

We must have looked at 60 houses - was never once pressured to make a decision and didn't stop until we found the perfect one - He's the man!

I have worked with a few other realtors in the past as well. Hands down, Barb is THE BEST!!! She has never pressured me into anything. Recently, she sold my FIL's house. The house was a mess and my FIL was very afraid to sell and give up his independence. Barb went out of her way to sit and talk to him. She explained everything in simple terms for him. Which is what he needed. The whole experience was positive despite his initial anxiety. So if you have an elderly parent or a new buyer, Barb is the one you want to call. I dont trust many people in this world, but I do trust Barb.

She is always looking out for her clients best interests! She is patient with you through the whole process!

Then we started having grandchildren. What a blessing. But when we started full-time babysitting our nice little home proved to be a little too small. Finding a home that fit our needs was a difficult task because it is hard to improve on a custom-built home. But Christel did it. She patiently showed us many very nice homes but like I said, once you build a custom home you can't go backwards to something else. The only way to go is to go forward. After about two years of looking, we finally found the house of our dreams and it was an upgrade. We thought we had found a home that we wanted to buy on a couple of occasions but Christel's experience pointed out to us a few things, like dual pane windows with evidence of condensation, that would have to be replaced, or foundation problems, that we would have missed on our own. Christel was never put off by our exacting requirements. She just kept looking for us. When we finally found the home that met our needs Christel leaped into action. She took care of all the transactions. She provided good advice on listing our old home and got us into our new home hassle free and at a great price. Christel is not in business just for the money, she genuinely wants to help people find a home that they would be happy with. We "highly recommend Christel" for your real estate agent needs. Satisfaction guaranteed.

I appreciate the advice and recommendations that I can rely on. Shawn is very professional and operates with a high degree of integrity.

I met her when looking online at Overland Park homes as I considered moving to be near my daughter, husband and future granddaughter. I saw a townhome I liked and Shelli was the listing agent. We exchanged emails for weeks, as I was living in Colorado and not able to visit Kansas right away. In the meantime, that townhome sold. Shelli sent me many listings for homes and townhomes and I chose some to see when I visited Kansas. Unfortunately, none were what I really wanted. Shelli and I talked more about my wishes and she continued to send listings. A villa was listed that backed to the “woods”, and I love trees and the privacy of such a location. Shelli said it was one of her favorite neighborhoods, and I trusted that opinion since she’s lived in the area for years. Without seeing the home in person, I made an offer for over the listing price and got the home a day after it was listed. Shelli did Facetime previews of the home with me and she set up many contractors including a home inspector, and workers to install new flooring, paint the entire interior, install new lighting, hardware, plumbing, etc. She was a blessing with all this help since I was still living in Colorado and trying to sell my home. Shelli coordinated the workers, and visited the house many times to check on things. This was above and beyond typical realtor duties. Shelli knows the area, knows real estate, HVAC units, and many aspects of a home for sale. She is smart, knowledgeable, helpful, always available, patient with many questions, full of great advice on homes, financing, insurance, etc. She volunteers and is a real asset to the community and real estate market. Working with Shelli was wonderful!

Passionate about work and we really trusted her expertise. Worth it in every way!

I met Barb as I was facing the daunting task of cleaning out and selling my brother's house. The house was a mess and I needed someone who would be honest and forthcoming with what it would take to be able to sell it. Barb saw it at its worst and said she would help me. Little did I know how much she would help. She was there every step of the way, from overseeing repairs (I live out of town) to making sure all of the paperwork was in order. Once I removed the contents (she recommended someone to help with that), we discussed next steps. She listened and offered sound advice. I am impressed with her tenacity and "can do" attitude. She is a hard worker with a vision of what "can be". If you want the optimal price for your house, hire Barb and take her advice. She knows the market and what it takes and won't steer you wrong. She is honest, trustworthy, and amazingly talented at selling houses. My brother's house went on the market on a Thursday and had a contract by Sunday. Who does that? Barb does!

I couldn't have found someone nicer and more polite than Shawn. His communication with me was stellar where he was always updating me in a timely manner. A question never went unanswered! I would definitely recommend Shawn to anyone and would use him again if I was searching for real estate.

I appreciate the advice and recommendations that I can rely on. Shawn is very professional and operates with a high degree of integrity.

They were always willing to work with us and really wanted what was best for us. Can't say enough good things

She was our agent of choice when we purchased this home 3 years ago, as well as recently listing, marketing and selling it for us. Her knowledge of the industry and the market was evident every step of the way. She was there to guide us and help us make good decisions during the marketing phase, through contract negotiations, all the way through closing. Her attention to detail was exceptional. Whether you are in the market for your Dream Home, or looking for the perfect agent to list and sell your home, we highly recommend Shelli.

He has great insight and knows what pitfalls to look out for. He certainly took all of our needs into account and we never felt any pressure to put an offer on something we wouldn’t want. I cannot recommend him enough.

She got us every single thing we asked for from the seller. Everything was super smooth and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

She did a great job of marketing including the enticing description she wrote of our house, the professional photos she had taken, and the pricing of the house at just the right level to generate a lot of interest. She held an open house the day after we put the house on the market, and by the next day we had two competing offers. Her communication and guidance throughout the contract and inspection process was excellent. She helped smooth the few bumps in the road we had and got us to a timely closing. She kept her sense of humor while remaining highly professional from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend her services.

She took a difficult situation (selling deceased family house) and made it easy. City wanted to buy the property. They offered a fair price but she took the time to research/meet and deal directly with the city which resulted in 75K more!

I was very anxious, to say the least. I had met with 4-5 other realtors prior to David and was ready to give up. But then I found him! And was very lucky to have. He went above and beyond for me for several months.. We looked at about 40 homes until I found "the" one. He put up with me and that says a lot. I will never be able to pay him back for all the help. It's hard for me to give trust, but he has it and has my loyalty. I consider him my friend. Looking to sell or buy, definitely call DAVID.

As a buyers agent, they quickly identified a home we might like and negotiated and orchestrated our purchase. Six months later, we were accepted into a senior community and we asked Shelli & Kylie to sell the home we had just purchased. That sale also went smoothly and professionally. When negotiating these sums of money, it is important to trust the ones handling the negotiations, and that is Shelli and Kylie. Responsiveness, integrity, trust and communicative are just some of the words I think of regarding these two sales professionals. I have already referred them to family and friends for their home needs.

The house I bought was actually down the street from a different how I viewed, but she saw it online and asked if I wanted to check it. Thank goodness she had her eyes peeled because this house is just what I wanted. She worked with both the seller and my buyer's agent to get me in this house! Her follow-up and follow-thru are superb! Don't even think about going with someone else! Shelli does it all and will work for you until you get what you want! 5 Stars all day long!!!!

He knows all the ins and outs of the market and outs his years of experience to work to get the best outcome for his clients. I've used him myself and recommended him to others and he never disappoints. If you're looking to buy or sell a home Dave Gundersen at RE/MAX is the one to call.

We could call her to say we would like to see a house and she would make the necessary arrangements.

It felt like we were more than just clients. We cannot thank him enough for his kindness and investment in us. He genuinely seems to care for our success and happiness as homeowners.

She made everything incredibly easy.

Shelli understood this and made it easier than anticipated. It sold fast! My family and I highly recommend her.

Dave is incredibly knowledgeable, reliable and great to work with.

We were looking to relocate from Arizona. Our house went on the market in March and sold in May. She started going out to homes to look for us, sending us pics and videos. We came back in May to look. Spent two days looking at 13 homes and bought the last one! She did all the inspections and measured rooms. She went above and beyond to help us out. I would call her again if we decided to move. But, hopefully, we will be in our new home for a while. Thanks for all you do, Christel.

Your warm, personal, professional, caring touch made our "adventure" most rewarding, not to mention the extra hard work and sacrifices you made. We will cherish our relationship with you forever. Thank you for being the best and we will cherish our relationship forever.

She will shoot you strait and won't over list your property just to get the listing.

We couldn’t have had better experiences from start to finish. From the get-go we have trusted his knowledge, experience, opinions, etc with each step of the process. He has been the calming force as well as the force to be reckoned with in getting things done. He has always made us feel like our questions and/or concerns are his priority. We also had the pleasure to meet and work with his daughter, Jourdan, with this last home sale/purchase. She has definitely been listening and learning and will undoubtedly have what it takes to follow in her dad’s path.

From knowing expectations, understanding documents, to staging spaces the attention to detail was unwavered. Highly recommend!

Shelli’s knowledge and communication are top notch for sure. She listens and goes above and beyond for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.

He has solid advice and supporting numbers to gain top dollar for the location of your property, and his attention to detail, will continue to keep him at the top of his profession.

She researched and found the properties we were interested in. And when it came time to purchase, she gave us good advice on which way to move. She knew the local contacts well giving us information for our new home.

The unit was in horrible disrepair. She immediately got hold of some "flippers" and had it listed and was showing it in a few days. I was afraid I was going to get stuck with it, but she had 8 offers the first day. The first offer fell through at closing and I, again, had my doubts. Shelli never faltered. She had it back on the market and had more offers within a few hours. She finally sold the unit for more than we initially asked for! I will not hesitate to use her in the future for any more sales.

She's an expert in real estate - from fixer-uppers to new builds, professional, and most importantly always works to ensure her clients are happy and confident on their decision before closing deals! Our most recent venture with Christel was on a new construction build, and she was by our side every step of the way and we could not be more happy with the outcome! Thanks for all you have done for us, Christel!

They were exceptional during the entire process. We can't thank them enough! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy a house!

I had NO idea what to do or how to do it. The house that was "not at its finest" and Barb saw all the potential. She gave me resources to contact for donations, trash removal, septic clean out and recycling. She took care of the paint touch up, cleaned carpets, cleaned out the flower beds. Then she staged the house perfectly. I am still astonished at how quickly the property sold!! Everything was taken care of within two months. The very best part for me was the friendship we have formed as a result of a bad situation. Barb Burns is my "go-to" realtor. I'll always recommend her to friends and family looking for a compassionate, hard working, results driven professional. Barb is the BEST!!

Her knowledge of the market, area, and houses truly gave us ease during a very stressful time. We were doing a cross country move with a toddler and pregnant so stress was extremely high and timeline was critical. Shelli was always available to us and would preview homes for us to ensure our time was being well spent. Her negotiation and communication skills were impeccable. I truly cannot articulate how lucky we were to work with Shelli and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy.

I highly recommend using her and plan to use her again in the future.

She knows the area well and was knowledgeable about realistic prices. Quick folow up with feedback from showing and after open house. I would definitely use Shelli again.

She was very professional and knowledgeable about comps in the surrounding market. The pictures showcased the listing to create interest in the listing and get it sold quickly. I would recommend Christel to help buy or sell a property and plan to call her again to purchase another property.
