EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Nikki AquinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Kelly O'Connell-Guzak from Home Sweet Home Ryan Realty was an incredible experience. She was my agent when I bought my house and again, when I sold my house. With Kelly, I always felt like a priority. She was extremely responsive and kept me in the loop on all offers and showings. She is incredibly knowledgeable about market trends and was very transparent about what to expect with pricing and timing. I’m so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her as an agent!Posted on Joey ZolnierekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly was wonderful to work with. She is responsive, thorough, and was willing to take us to showings at any time. She took the time to explain the entire process and had us feeling supported and comfortable the entire time.Posted on Jason MarcordesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the opportunity to work with Kelly on a transaction where she represented the seller and I represented the buyer. She was professional, responsive, and great to work with throughout the process. As with most real estate transactions, there were a few challenges along the way, but Kelly stayed solution focused and helped keep things moving forward so we could get the deal closed. I appreciate her professionalism and would gladly work with her again on another transaction.Posted on Nicole BuffoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dori was an excellent realtor and I would recommend her to anyone! As a first time home buyer, she explained anything and everything you need to know about purchasing a home. She listened to our wants/needs and delivered! I wanted to see multiple houses and Dori was able to take a good portion of her day on a Sunday viewing homes with my fiancé and I. We closed on our home in November 2022 and moved in at the beginning of December. Now that we are finally settled into our new home, I’m forever grateful for all her help, guidance, professionalism and always being available to help answer any questions. (And boy did I have a lot of them!) Dori had referrals for our lender and home inspection that were all great! Couldn’t be happier with our Team that helped make all of this possible. Thank you again, Dori for ALL of your knowledge, guidance and expertise! So proud that we can say we are finally home owners- all thanks to your help!Posted on Jessica BarkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience and highly recommend this team!Posted on Dan WoodallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly O'Connell-Guzak is an Amazing realtor. She's truly on your side, is deceitfully sweet (she's a very tough negotiator), very attentive, and very very good about making sure everything suits you. She's very experienced and has excellent recommendations for lenders, inspectors, etc. I'd give more stars if I could, and would highly recommend her to anyone.Posted on Jonathan A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd give this place a 20 out of 5 if I could. Dori is an amazing agent to work with, and I am so happy that we randomly got paired with her through Redfin. She is INCREDIBLY attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We found the perfect first home and she was with us during every step of the process. She was great at steering us away from things we were just okay with, and really pushed us to find the EXACT thing we really wanted. Dori made home buying fun, and took care of all of the not fun parts of the process.
