Amazing experience! Molly was a pro, and guided us through the entire process. All the small touches like the beautiful sign, beautiful photography, custom website, etc. made red cedar feel like a luxury service reserved for high-end real estate. But our house was below average price, and pricing/fees were standard and very competitive. We got another quote from a name brand competitor, and at the end of the day, heres what we got: 1% lower fees vs competitor, and no surprise fees whatsoever. $10k higher LISTING price vs what the competitor recommended. 9 showings and 7 offers in 4 days. We

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Peter and his team to buy our first home a couple months ago. From our very first phone call with Peter, it was clear how experienced and knowledgeable he was. More importantly, he was able to explain things clearly and simply, which was really important to us as first time homebuyers who felt really daunted by the process. He also corrected certain misunderstandings and misimpressions we had, helping assure us that he would look out for our best interests and not simply tell us what we wanted to hear. We interviewed a few other agents but

As a first time home buyer, I wanted to work with an agent who was going to be patient, attentive, knowledgable, and reliable. I was extremely nervous about making the plunge, but I am so glad I did it with Peter. From the very first moment we spoke, I had a good feeling, and I wasn't wrong. When seeing homes, Peter never pressured me and always pointed out potential issues or things I didn't think to look at being so less experienced. I was extremely thankful this. When submitting my offer, he was extremely helpful in making my offer competitive enough to be accepted on the first time. It was

I very rarely write reviews so when I do, it is because my experience was unbelievably horrible or exceptional beyond belief. My experience with Red Cedar was the latter. Peter is amazing! He walked us through the whole process and made what could have been a stressful situation very enjoyable. We saw over 50 houses in the span of 3 months. Peter was always available for a phone call, even late at night. He shared the journey with us. When we found our we didn't get the house not once, but 3 times, he was there to encourage us and when we found out we got the home of our dreams, he was there to

Short review Client centric, Experienced, Market and Tech Savvy, Highly Recommend
Longer Review When it was time to purchase a home and not being from the area, we knew we couldnt do it alone and we wanted to find someone that knew the market, was an expert in the field, and that we wanted to work with. We met some realtors at open houses, heard about some through other people, and like other purchases these days we went to the internet machine to perform research and read countless reviews. Peter Boscas and Red Cedar Real Estate stood out the most. From our first meeting/interview
