Testimonials

I have known Gretchen for over 10 years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. When I first moved to the U.S., I was still adjusting to the language and the culture. Even though she was not fluent in Spanish, Gretchen went above and beyond to help me find my first home. I didn’t have a car, but she graciously drove me to various open houses until we found the perfect place. Her patience, dedication, and willingness to help, despite the language barrier, made a world of difference. Fast forward 12 years, and I found myself needing guidance again. Unsure whether to sell or rent my property, Gretchen provided invaluable advice based on my resources. She not only helped me make the best decision but also connected me with a trustworthy property manager to rent out my condo. Thank you, Gretchen, for your unwavering support throughout the years. I am forever grateful for your help!!

Gretchen did an amazing job helping sell my mother’s home in Pennsylvania. She helped with pricing strategy, marketing, and home preparation all the way from California. She was able to research and interview several agents and we settled on someone local with strong experience. The results were incredible! I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home.

We are so thankful to have Gretchen as our Realtor. She is not just our realtor, but now, also our friend and well-wisher. Gretchen understood quickly what we wanted in a home, and steered us clear of bad apples and compromises we found ourselves making through our home finding journey. She was always available for our endless questions, and would always give us her unbiased advice and support. Gretchen also knows the market and area so well, and has a very good eye of homes with great potential. She helped us find our dream home, which needed a little elbow grease after a long search, and helped us write a winning offer with very little stress and lots of confidence. She worked extra hard to understand what the sellers were motivated by and was able to immediately leverage her network to personally connect with the listing agent. She also helped set us up with a lending team that was able to move fast and place a high confidence offer in the hands of the selling agent well ahead of their deadline. Not only that, but Gretchen goes above and beyond for her clients. She visited the home many times with us for inspections, on our random whims, and due diligence with the seller's agent. She also helped us secure contractors that she recommended to give the home a much-needed facelift. Gretchen made us always feel like her top priority, even though we knew she was extremely busy with other clients. We would highly recommend working with Gretchen if you are looking for a home!

Gretchen Swall provided tremendous leadership, guidance and advice related to the sale of our home. She helped us select, and then managed the work of, a handyman and other subcontractors to perform needed repairs and upgrades while also keeping an eye on the budget to ensure we spent only what was really necessary to achieve a successful sale. Her pricing advice and strategy was well thought out and produced just the results we were hoping for. I highly recommend Gretchen, and I would definitely work with her again.
