One of your Agents, who was handling a buyer for our home was absolutely terrible. Had no clue on how to close a deal, did not communicate back to our Agent and as a result we lost the sale if our home. This was a terrible experience for us

Without a doubt Chad & Josi Van Horn stand above any real estate professional we have done business with (and there has been many!) They have gone above and above and beyond on one more than occasion to assist us in our hunt for prime lakefront property. Their passion for real estate and genuine interest in their clients is evident throughout the entire process. They have earned my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a luxury real estate professional!
