Nicholas P.Google review

My wife and I recently used The Home Team to not only sell our home, but to also buy a new one immediately after selling. Rob was our agent, and he made the process as easy and stress free as it could possibly be. He will definitely go the extra mile to make sure that you have a good experience. If you're thinking of buying or selling a home, let The Home Team do the heavy lifting for you!

Robin A.Google review

Where to start? My husband and I bought our first house with Rob Ranard and we so pleased with his service and professionalism not to mention his knowledge, that when it came time for us to buy a new house, there was no question who to go to. Rob and the Home Team were there for us through the whole process and gave us all the information we needed or asked for. Rob worked hard top make all of our requests possible. He worked above and beyond all expectations to ensure that our dream house came true. We highly recommend Rob and the Home Team for your future needs.

Roger S.Google review

We could not be happier with our experience using the Home Team. We made a call to Rob on a late Friday afternoon to see a property and he jumped in to help us through our journey until we found THE ONE. Not only did we find our dream home, but Rob listed our home and sold it within 24 hours. Samantha teamed up to help in our process and they made a great team to work with. Any and all future real estate needs we will return to Rob, and recommend this office to anyone.

Home Team Properties is your best place to go for selling and buying. We used Samantha and she was very professional, caring and worked hard for us. Since the time of purchasing our home we have continued to get excellent customer service. We have received numerous trees for Arbor Day, pies for Thanksgiving and always a friendly hello if we meet out in the community. It is not everyday you meet awesome people who are excellent at their job as well. Thank you Home Team Properties

Ethan A.Google review

I had to sell my home in a hurry and it was surprising how quickly the Home Team was able to find a buyer; much quicker than I’d ever expected. Rob and Samantha were very accommodating to my unique situation. As a first-time seller, I never felt misled or out of the loop. They professionally conducted business, were able to answer questions in a timely manner, kept me up-to-date, and at all times treated me as a person and not as their “next paycheck”.
