Joe and his team went above and beyond to help sell our house. They found a chimney repair specialist for us because we lived out of town at the time we were selling. they were patient and helpful throughout the entire process. Our house sold on the first day of listing with three competing offers. Joe and his team remained communicative, patient and helpful every step of the way despite us being out of town and other extenuating and difficult circumstances. I would recommend them to others. The photos they took of the house were very high quality and I think it made a difference in the selling of the home.
Description of Work: we need an agent to represent us to sell our home

Description of Work: Joe Brester and his assistant, Jenn Lieffring helped me sell my vacation home in Lexington, KY. Since I live in another state, they took on the scheduling of repairs, carpet cleaning, etc as well as the showings. Joe took care to have all info needed available when he contacted me - cost of repairs from more than one provider, info to questions about a propane tank on the property, etc. with their help, the sale went smoothly.

It was hard and tearful at times because we were selling a house where we raised a family for over 18 years. Joe kept us on the professional/business path and guided us gently away from the emotional phase.
Description of Work: Joe Brester and his team came in and made suggestions on how to best present my house for sale. After that, he put up the sale sign and the house went live on a Wed at 7pm , showed the house on Friday at 5pm and they made an offer on Sunday. He worked with us throughout all the steps and was in constant contact via email/text/phone as to how things were progressing. He sat with us at the closing and bid us a fond farewell. This team is awesom

Joe Brester was thorough and realistic for the market in Paris, KY. He made helpful suggestions and was prompt in doing the things he needed to do to list the house. Even though it took a while to find a buyer he kept the listing fresh. He was very helpful in getting through the closing. I have the utmost confidence in his real estate knowledge and integrity.

Joe has listed and sold over 50 homes for our company over the last few years. His prediction of value has been impeccable. He is honest and forthright in his communication with me and my staff. We appreciate all of his energy and work ethic. The people on his team are well suited for their different job functions. Jenna keeps the details in line and communications open. Summer's buyers love her patience and care. We recommend The Brester Group to any and all. Stewart McIntosh, CEO Palumbo Properties, Inc.

Within the span of 3 months my husband and I got married, moved from Atlanta, GA to Lexington, KY, started new jobs and found out we were expecting our first child! Needless to say we were incredibly overwhelmed with all the life changes and needed an experienced Realtor to help us find our dream home a midst all the craziness! After interviewing several different candidates we ended up choosing Summer because she knew a lot about the Lexington area, did a great job listening to our wants and needs and because of her great personality. She is just an overall friendly & kind person who made the process an enjoyable one and genuinely had our best interest at heart throughout the entire process. Something that could have been very stressful was actually quite fun and easy because of all of Summer's hard work and positive attitude from start to finish!
Description of Work: Summer Sisney found us our dream home in Lexington, KY!

Summer Sisney served me throughout the process of searching, looking, finding, & purchasing my home. She demonstrated professionalism through Her punctuality, contract preparation & review, helping me understand the home-purchasing process, & covering fine details I didn't know needed to be covered. At the same time, she felt like a friend who I could talk with about my home-buying concerns, hopes, & dreams. She listened to what I wanted and sought to meet my needs and desires without asserting her own. I highly, without one qualm, recommend Summer as a real estate agent!

Summer Sisney was absolutely great! She helped guide us during our home search and made sure that there were no surprises to us. She made it easy for us to complete all the required paperwork and was very professional the entire time. She not only was instrumental in the home buying process, but at the time my wife was dealing with some health issues and Summer was a dear friend and was there for us on a personal level. I am very proud to know her. I would recommend Summer Sisney to anyone who is in the market for a home.

Everything went as planned with Summer. She was prepared for each visit and made house hunting fun. She stayed with us during the closing of our house and visited afterwards to see how things had gone with the move. She plans to visit us soon to see how the transformation of the property has gone. I would recommend Summer to anyone that needs the type of service that she can provide.
Description of Work: she provide excellent service while hunting for a house in the Lexington, Kentucky area. We came to the Lexington area 3 times to house hunt and each time Summer was prepared to show us houses that we had requested to see and others that she had found that met our search criteria. She was always very pleasant and upbeat and made it fun to search for a house. We did find a house because of her perseverance and willingness to spend the time needed to find the right house for us. She has kept in contact with us since we moved and we feel like we have made a new friend.
