My realtor Chris was phenomenal. She was quick to respond to my many requests and questions with a positive attitude. Chris fought for me and I never doubted she was in my corner. She gave me advise on properties and future potential issues. She was always professional and quick with a smile. Cannot recommend Chris enough!

We just closed on 8/14. Stephanie was the best realtor you could ask for. She made this process so easy and relaxing. What she didn't know she found out immediately for you. I would definitely recommend her.

I recently sold my house thanks to Joy Foust. I had land issues and other issues that caused many hold ups but Joy went way over and beyond to help me and to get things done the right way. I had tried other realtors but none of them took the job seriously the way she did. She is very knowledgeable and if she doesn't have an answer she will get it. She was always thoughtful of my personal situation and made sure the process went as smooth as possible for me. I would never have sold without her help. Thank You Very Much Joy. Two thumbs up! I definitely recommend her.

They made selling our homes very stress free! During the process of looking for a new home, CRE was very helpful at finding houses that fit our needs. The agents were always readily available to show us houses that we

Czekalski Real Estate (CRE) HAS BEEN a very well respected and valued real estate business within the Allie-Kiski for over half a century. Since they have been personally voted BEST Real Estate Agency AND BEST Real Estate Agent within the valley for several years in a row, this was justification as to why I chose them when selecting a house.
CRE agents truly showcase a wonderful level of professionalism, represent their company values well, and at the same time sincerely cared about the emotional process of seeking a house. I would recommend CRE to anyone. They were extremely helpful. There
