WHAT THEY SAY

We have been selling real estate for over 30 years. We have shown over 40,000 homes and closed over 4,000 homes. The awards, designations, recognition, and accolades are nothing compared to the one thing that we appreciate and long for the most. That is the satisfaction that we have done our very best, truly represented our clients best interests and have assisted in helping people in one of the most important and expensive purchases that they will have in their lifetime. That is our passion and why the Anderson Team receives the following testimonials.

  • Jeff is truly the best! He was my Realtor for the purchase of my first home and then recently for the sale of my home. Both experiences were flawless. He took care of every detail and communicated with me every step of the way so I knew exactly what to expect. His marketing was absolute perfection and my home sold above asking, with multiple offers, and within only a few days! Thank you again for everything, Jeff!Megan Donnellan

  • This is the key that wouldn't be possible without Jeff Anderson & Mike Coady in my corner. When Jeff learned that i was a veteran, he made it his mission to help Teddy and I find a beautiful and historic home. He went even further to connect us with Mike for the best possible financing. I am forever thankful to Jeff and Mike who are true warriors for Vets!Lucien Cravens

  • We initially researched the Homes for Heroes and found it would be a great fit for us. Upon applying we looked over an e-mail Jeff had sent us. It was immediately apparent that Jeff was passionate about his career as well as helping those in his community.We began working with Jeff who was incredibly personable with us. He thoroughly explained each step of the buying process and answered any questions we had. He immediately began searching for homes in our price range and got us right into looking at them. Upon doing so he researched each individual one and provided us with specific details about the property.Between both of us, our work schedules are almost completely opposite. Jeff worked around this and made himself available when we were, even late into the evening. We both remembered how Jeff said that his career had no schedule and he was willing to work whenever he needed to. He really ensured the best result for us despite odd hours and sacrificing his own time to help us through this process.When we located a home that we wanted to put an offer in on, Jeff immediately got to work on making that happen. Despite demanding sellers Jeff was able to ensure we paid the price we felt comfortable with. He was persistent, thorough, and ensured everything in his power was done to close the deal. We couldn’t have been happier with the results.If you are looking for an experienced professional who is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a smooth process look no further. We will always recommend Jeff to those we come into contact with!Sam Beuch
