REMAX Advantage Realty Testimonials

I live in Iowa City and my moms house is in Dubuque and Brenda kept me very updated on everything that was going on. It was all very stress free.

10/10 highly recommend this man!

From the very beginning, she was kind, funny, and incredibly helpful. We looked at many houses before finding the right one, and she patiently stuck with us every step of the way. Her knowledge of home details and the buying process was invaluable, she pointed us in the right direction time and time again. She was also extremely flexible and made it so convenient to meet for showings, always working around our schedule. What could have been a daunting process ended up feeling simple, smooth, and even fun, thanks to her guidance and support. In the end, we were thrilled to have found our perfect home but honestly, we miss seeing her so often!

She went beyond the call of duty and always had a solution for our concerns. You will not be disappointed if you work with Brenda. We are truly grateful for her help.

Dubuque, She sold our home the first day it was actually listed. She was with us every step of the way from listing to closing. She was available all the time, and in a very short time. Her response to our needs and questions was amazing. She calmed our fears with just a few words. She's extremely professional, and I would certainly highly recommend Brenda. We would certainly call on her if we ever need a realtor again. Amazing service from her.

He was extremely personable and we connected with him right away. John was always more than happy to show us any and all houses that we were interested in throughout our house search. That included evenings and weekends, when it might not have been the most convenient for him. He always made us feel like we were his first priority and we could trust that he had our best interest in mind. After a couple of months of searching, we were able to find, and purchase, a great house that fit our needs and our budget, all thanks to John’s hard work. I would recommend John to anyone looking for a real estate agent, both based on his personality and his knowledge in this field.

With Austin we never felt pressured, everything was on our time. This was our first time buying a home and Austin made the process so smooth and helped us to navigate through everything. He listened to everything we wanted, he was very responsive every time we would reach out to him about anything . Austin was both the selling agent and our agent as the buyer and he never once let that alter the way he helped us through the process. Even after the process Austin as checked in to make sure everything is just as we expected. We will use Austin for all our home buying/selling needs as he made the situation a lot let stressful than it definitely could have been.

We appreciated your unwavering support and professionalism.

He’s super quick to respond to any listings we wanted to see, or any questions we had during the process of buying and selling. He also gave us realistic expectations that made the process less stressful.

I would highly recommend working with her or ReMax for anyone looking to move to Dubuque area.

She is very knowledgeable, responds in a timely manner, and provides insight. I have purchased my first home and an investment property with Brenda and I know I can count on her for future purchases.

Always responsive, answers any questions, and makes the whole process stress free! He knew what we were looking for and suggested we go look at this property and then helped us get the deal closed.

Brenda asked our needs & searched for properties that would meet those needs & gave candid feedback on homes & areas of town; to help in our decision-making. Brenda was willing to be in communication with our selling realtor, to make the business side of selling in 1 state & buying in another go more smoothly. When we were able to meet in person, she did not hesitate to take us to look at as many potential homes as we wanted, even doing a walk-thru of another prospect, after we left; for us & relaying a candid & accurate description. As it turned out, that was the home we did purchase & we are very pleased with it…Brenda’s input was spot-on! Brenda also kept us updated on the progress of the transaction, coordinating the legal/monetary actions required & explaining the steps that I didn’t understand; in a manner that was helpful as a home buyer. Brenda was an essential asset to my home-buying experience!

John was the first and only realtor to reach out the same day we started our home search from over 100 miles away. He made the process super efficient and made it feel like he was truly a part of the home search. His overflowing friendly and approachable personality and knowledge of the area immediately put us as ease and by the time John landed us the perfect house, he was not just our realtor but our family friend. He even seamlessly coordinated with us on the selling of our house and closing on our new house on the same day. We wish everyone could have a realtor like John for their home buying and selling experiences. John doesn't look for a customer to find or sell a house, he strives for friends to find the perfect homes and properties. I trust John entirely with my real estate endeavors and responsibilities. Do yourself a favor and call John first.

He’s super easy to work with and always has a great attitude. I never thought I would be a home owner this soon & it would not have happened without him, I’m so grateful. 10/10 RECOMMEND!!

Our house sold quickly and he was able to guide the final part of the sale while we were out of the country. Highly recommend his services!

From the minute I started talking to him I knew he was a keeper. I wanted to move to Dubuque area to be by my daughter and her family and he helped me find what I wanted. I was living in Illinois and John helped me and he was always very patient and kind with having so many calls, text, and emails and he made the process go very smooth!! He always had the answers and if he didn't he would definitely research and find the solutions.

We had the best experience working with him to find our first house. He was so patient with us throughout the whole process, answering all our questions and never making us feel rushed. He really listened to our preferences and budget to find the perfect options for us. When going to showings John really looked out for us, he is able to spot small details that we didn’t even know to look for. He was always there for us, responding quickly to our messages and making sure we had updates. He made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. John was recommended to us and we highly recommend John to anyone in need of a realtor. He's patient, knowledgeable, and above all just a great guy to work with. Thanks to him, we found our first home, and we couldn't be happier!

He's helped me for a year now to find and purchase my first home and I could not have had a better person to work with to do it. I would and have recommended John to friends and family. Can't put into words how awesome and helpful John has been.

She took me through many homes that I did not end up liking and was there to answer any questions I had in the process. I will definitely be using Cathy for a realtor in the future.

We were purchasing from out of state and were lucky enough to have found Paige while online searching for our new home. She flawlessly planned and coordinated showings so we could maximize our visits to the area, guided us through the process, and always kept us updated. What we thought was going to be a difficult process was seamless. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us. Paige is the best!

My interaction with her began when she returned my call while at her own wedding rehearsal in Florida! That level of commitment, customer service and a keen interest in selling my home was present throughout our entire working relationship. She's a delight to work with and knows the tri-state area real estate market very well. Paige came highly recommended, and I am doing the same. Call her and thank me later!

She did a great job keeping us updated with newly available properties, and when we found the place we wanted she had extremely clear and useful instruction for us as first time home buyers. Brenda's recommendations on inspectors and lawyers was excellent.

Her dedication, expertise, and clear communication made the process stress-free even when handling unexpected challenges. At the drop of a hat, she was there right when we needed her. If you're looking for a passionate, trustworthy realtor that has a ton of experience, Cathy Blanchard is the one to call!

He sat down to listen to my family’s needs and was able to find us the perfect house. He even help us paint. Love him and would recommend him to anyone.

..call the realtor on the sign in the yard of the house we wanted to buy. Little did we know that we would get so lucky. We have now purchased 3 houses and sold 2 houses through Brenda. She is patient and brings a calming presence to the process. Her professionalism and diligence are unmatched. She always made our times work for showings, requests for additional walk throughs, questions, etc. I highly recommend Brenda if you're looking for a smooth buying/selling process.

He showed me so many homes as a Buyer and was never pushy and just so wanted us to find our perfect home. He walked me through every step and answered all of my questions. This is my second time working with him and I will definitely use him again!

He helped me over the span of many, many months until I found the right one for me. He was very patient and was available basically 24/7 which I personally thought was pretty great. I was new to house buying process and he helped answer every single question I had. This guy went above and beyond for me and I feel confident saying that he would do the same for you. After viewing a ton of houses, him and I kind of got to know each other pretty well and he has been nothing short of nice, patient and relatable. I never once felt judged or anything along those lines working with John. I cannot say thank you enough to him so if you're looking for someone to work with, I would suggest getting ahold of John!!

This has been 4 years in the making and he has stuck by us for every single step of the way! Austin first helped us find our beautiful land, not once, but THREE different times so we could get the perfect space for our forever home. Austin then helped us find the perfect architect and builder and was there for us along the entire process. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful for his expertise and guidance! 10/10 recommend.
