Jessica Saum was AMAZING! She was very informative and consistently kept me updated on every process occurring with buying a home. I have purchased 4 homes and this was by far the easiest and least stressful. She was easy to reach and quick to respond to my questions or concerns. I highly recommend Jessica Saum if you are looking for a very qualified agent that will look out for your best interest when purchasing your next home!

Jess was very helpful during our home hunting and house selling process! She was quick to respond and always found time to attend showings with my fiancé and I. She was great to work with for my first time selling a house. Got a professional photographer into the house quickly and had it on the market in a timely manner. Answered any questions we had at any time of the day. We would gladly work with Jessica again in the future!

Working with Cyndi to purchase our first home was a wonderful experience! She is knowledgeable, hard working, and has a positive attitude. She went above and beyond to show us many different houses until we found the one. She knows the right questions to ask and always puts her clients first. We are so grateful for her time and effort. We would highly recommend her!

5 stars just aren’t enough for Kim! My best friend referred to me Kim and told me how incredible she was, and she was so right. I am genuinely clueless when it comes to home-buying and the market, and Kim made my first home buying experience SO perfect. I close on my first home today, and the process has been so smooth it’s almost unbelievable! She genuinely cares for your needs and wants and leads you in the exact right direction. She genuinely feels like she’s on your side when touring homes and searching for the right one. The deal that she got me (especially during these crazy times) is amazing and I couldn’t believe it when she first told me! I will be referring everyone I know to Kim, words can’t even explain how amazing she has been :)

When my family and I had plans to move out of the area, we had a very long and specific timeline to work with. Not only did we need to sell our house but we needed to find one that would fit our families needs, specific on location and it needed to work with the timeline that we had set. In a world where there are so many realtors to choose from, we knew we needed the RIGHT one. We did a lot of research and we were brought to Kimberly Carey. We contacted her and right from the start she took charge and excepted the challenge that was presented her with. She worked diligently to find us a home, when there were almost none to choose from. She ended up working her magic and finding us the perfect off market home. Then she had to sell ours but also fit it into our very specific timeline. When she went to list our home, she missed absolutely no details. We put our heart and soul into our home and we wanted someone to make it shine like it should and Kim was that person, 100%. She had our house listed and pending within 4 days, with multiple offers over asking. People refer to it as “the house that broke the internet”. If there was a problem to arise big or small, she would find a way that she could make it work for us and always went the extra mile. We could not thank her more for all that she did for us, through our time working together. If you want someone who will always put you first, Kim is your realtor.

From the for sale sign with dog to the orange envelope we received at closing, everything was above and beyond. Kim took the time from start to finish to help us understand with great detail, the process of selling our home. She was always available for our questions and our concerns. She knows the market and is willing to share her knowledge and expertise to give you the the best opportunity available. I cannot recommend a better person for your home finding or selling needs. We are thankful we were given the opportunity to work with Kim.

I would highly recommend ANYONE to Sara!! From our first meeting through closing, Sara never missed a step. Sara is an exceptional communicator and incredibly patient throughout the entire process. As a first-time home buyer, there is a lot to learn. Sara is also very thoughtful in how she helps home buyers find their dream home. She really listened to our must-have list and honed in on the homes in the area that met our needs. I'm so grateful for Sara's expertise.

I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking to buy or sell! She communicates very well and stays on top of everything. She is very professional and punctual. It took us over a year to get a deal after bidding on and looking at many homes and she patiently stuck with us the whole time.
Thanks again Sara!

Great job by Kim. We dragged her through several homes in a short period of time and she was very patient with us. She also did a fantastic job during the negotiation process to buy the home.
"
- Darren Cammin

Once again, Kim provided outstanding assistance to us after helping us purchase our new home. She sold our previous home expediently using her outstanding knowledge of the local area. Many offers resulted from her marketing strategies. She advised us in preparing our house to maximize its value and recommended skilled individuals who performed the work efficiently. Kim's guidance throughout the sale of our home was very professional, and we feel very fortunate to have found such an honest and highly qualified realtor.

You see a lot of hokey merchandise at stores that sling around terms such as, "Girl Boss", "Slay Queen", and "Boss Lady". Kim is the real life personification of what others hope to be with their inspirational coffee mugs. She's a tough and experienced negotiator, she brings a lot of knowledge to a deal, and you know she never stops working when she is sending you updates while out of the country on vacation.
But beyond a high work ethic and good instincts- Kim also has admirable character. She listens to your needs in a house, works to understand your unique situation, is honest even if it's not what you want to hear, and leads you through the entire process like a friend.

My husband and I have been searching for a home for almost a year and a half and have been through a couple realtors without any success. With being VA buyers we were told multiple times it would be difficult to find home in the area we wanted and we were open to multiple areas. We walked in on an open house and Sara and her colleague Katie were showing and even though we didn't care for the home we knew we had to pick these ladies for a shot at finding our forever home. I called her that same day and she and Katie met me and my husband a couple days after and she hit the ground running. She was readily available and even though there were some homes we may have liked in pictures but didn't like in person we were never faulted on it. She never made us feel rushed into buying a home and wanted to make sure we were confident in putting in an offer. She was always sending us homes to look at which is different in what we had been dealing with our previous realtor. Once we found our forever home she knew what she needed to do to get us this house. She was very thorough and informative throughout the whole process. From the time we met with Sara to us closing on our forever home it was within 60 days. Even after the sale of our home she was still in contact with us and didn't cut contact off because "she got the sale" I wish we had met her sooner but within that short time span I am so lucky and so grateful to call her not only a friend but family. She has made our dreams come true. I am forever indebted at her. We had the best experience from beginning to end and if I had to do it all over again I would choose her a million times over.

Cyndi is an exceptional realtor! Her attention detail and help from listing to closing was nothing short of amazing. No matter the circumstances, moving is stressful and Cyndi’s calm easy going attitude is motivating and reassuring. This was, by far, my best experience moving. Thank you, Cyndi!

Worked with Katie Williams for about 3 years. We live in Alabama and looked for a home in Michigan with her help. She COULD NOT have done a better job of meeting our needs. When God told her to alert us to the house that He wanted us to have, she told us right away and everything worked out for us as we had hoped and prayed for. She responded to what must have been over 100 contacts from us, always with the same cheerful and willing to help attitude. Katie continues to serve us AFTER the sale. Consider her a friend and would recommend her to anybody. Thank you Katie!

When I was feeling totally hopeless about buying my 1st home after 3 times trying finally met Katie Williams and that was the best thing that happened to me, I'm very satisfied with the way she works, she showed me what is my home now, she helped and, supported me all the way through this "journey", explaining and answering all my doubts and questions, she was always available for me! Katie Williams is very professional and kind. I highly recommend Katie for over anyone, she's just the Best! Thank you Katie for everything you done for me!

I have moved a couple times in my life and had a number of Realtors in my day. But by far Katie made it very easy, as I was moving from the other side of the state. She is very professional and thorough in what she does and everything went smoothly, I would highly recommend her. Thank You Katie Williams :))

Sara did a great job on listening to our needs and wants in a perfect home for my little family. At the time of searching for a home I wasn't sure if I was going to buy in my hometown or toledo. We saw some great houses in toledo but she helped me close on a house in my hometown. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell! Sara and her business partner Katie helped me achieve my goal of becoming a homeowner.

I would highly recommend Jessica for all your real estate needs. My wife and I were thrilled with our purchasing experience. Not only were we constantly involved with the entire process, Jessica also made sure to keep us one step ahead of everything so we knew what to expect

Jessica did an amazing job with helping me buy my home. She is very knowledgeable and professional; the ins and outs of each stage of the process were easy and straightforward.

Katie was an amazing realtor. She isn’t just the realtor, she becomes family. Katie helped us sell and buy at the same time and let me tell you it was rough. But Katie made it easy and kept us calm. I will truly miss talking to her everyday. I would recommend to anyone! Katie is one hell of a realtor, knows her shit and if she doesn’t- she will figure it out! Thanks Katie!

Jessica awesome, she was very informative about every detail of the process and ensured I got the best deal I could with what I came in with and made it possible with me out of town. I will definitely use her again for future house buying!

I just can’t say enough good things about Jessica. She was so great to work with open-minded kind and I really dragged her to a couple houses that were in awful shape, but she was still positive and never complained and was just a delight to be with. Jessica would always answer my text messages right away. She is supportive and very knowledgeable about the houses we would look at, sometimes getting answers on the spot. She was informed on comps neighborhoods. As far as real estate agents go. She is the best one that I’ve worked with and I would work with her again on the next house, if I plan to buy one.

Working with Kim was our first time working with a realtor at the age of 70. We’ve sold all of our homes ourselves. From our initial meeting to walking out the door Kim far exceeded exceptions. Of course everything went wrong on our last day in the house. Due to circumstances beyond our control we weren’t able to clean the house to our expectations. Kim actually kicked off her heels and helped mop and clean. During closing she made sure we qualified for a homestead exception tax that was expiring on the day of our closing. Kim quickly filed the homestead tax application online for us during our closing. From start to finish Kim was upfront, honest and embodied the values of the agency that people’s happiness and satisfaction are priorities.
If you, your family members or friends are considering selling your home don’t hesitate to call Kim.

We met Sara over 2 years ago when she showed us the first property we were interested in in Ohio. Our needs have changed several times since we met her, but she always showed up with homes that fit what we were looking for. She always kept us in mind and showed us homes that we were interested in as quick as possible. She always went above and beyond, even remotely showing us homes when we were out of state. I would ABSOLUTELY refer friends and family to Sara, she has been fantastic. We just closed on our home and she stuck it out with us through all the ups and downs we met along the way, guiding and advising us and got us through it all. You will not regret having Sara guide you through this monumental step in your life. We are so happy we had her on our journey!

Katie made this whole process as smooth as possible. She never pressured us into any major decisions without thinking it through first. She also was very knowledgeable about thr VA homeloan process which made us feel well taken care of. All around, Katie is a true professional!

I could not say enough great things about Sara! We have lived in several states over the last 7 years and Sara has always been great about answering questions about the Real Estate market based on her experience. She has used her network to help us connect with others in the field in our area at those times.
Upon moving back to Southeast Michigan, we re-connected when we were ready to purchase a home. Sara took all of our needs and wants into consideration and helped us search through available homes. We looked at many homes and I remember asking Sara what the magic number was (her expertise says this number does not exist). She was patient at every showing with us! She even helped us watch over our 4-year-old at every appointment by keeping him entertained while we looked around.
We found the perfect home for our family and Sara helped navigate the process every step of the way! She communicated the how's, the why's, and the what's during each phase of the homebuying process. She was quick to respond to any and all questions. She has a great network of people that were ready to help if we needed additional answers or recommendations. Next Home Elevate absolutely values human over the houses and it shows in their everyday work!

Working with Kim Carey made the difficult task of purchasing a house a much easier process. Any and all questions and concerns we had were addressed quickly and professionally. She provided us with contact details for excellent carpenters, painters and a home inspection company. Her calm demeanor and confidence helped us through the stress as she was able to help us complete the purchase of our new home in about two weeks. We look forward to Kim selling our old house given her outstanding knowledge of the local real estate market and strong work ethic.

Kim was phenomenal! She worked diligently to sell our duplex and get us the house our family needed. Through the whole buying and selling process, she was there to walk us through and fight to get us what we needed. If you're looking for a genuine, hard working realtor, look no further!

Katie is the absolute best! When buying our first house, she made everything so smooth and stress less. She advocated for us in situations that were needed and was always looking out for us!!
"
- Alyssa Gonzalez (Buyer )
"
Kim exceeded all of our expectations! As first time home buyers we had very little knowledge of the process or even what we actually wanted in a home. Because of this, we ended up backing out of the first couple homes we got accepted offers on. Yikes. I know, but Kim was EXTREMELY understanding through it all. She continued to educate, inform, and even made thoughtful suggestions. Without her we definitely would have purchased a fixer upper home our of our league or overpaid for a turd. Kim walked us through buying our home step by step, with the patience of an angel, and spent many late nights working with us. She goes over and beyond, consistently! Kim is a master at her craft and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
"
- Devin Peterson (First Time Home Buyer )

Working with Kim was the most amazing first time home buying experience we could've asked for! My best friend recommended my boyfriend and I to her and we are so grateful that she did. It was our first time buying a home and she made sure that we knew exactly what to expect at every step of the way. She went above and beyond for us and was on FaceTime with us at 10:00 pm on a Saturday night writing up our first home offer. And, she worked her magic so well that we already have solid equity in our home. She was so knowledgable about what to look for in a good, reliable home, and was sure to remind us of the things that she knew we wanted in a home to make sure we didn't settle and found the perfect home for us. Even after closing day she has checked up on us and made sure the move-in was going well. She's not just our realtor, she's our friend!

Kim was my agent on the purchase of a new build. She was there for me from beginning to end. Whether it was choosing the different selections for the house prior to the build all the way to closing. Every step of the way she was there to ensure everything was going smoothly during the entire build and all the contract work. If there were any issues that I was unable to communicate with the builder, Kim was there to step in and take care of it. Would definitely work with Kim again.

Finding mine and my husbands dream home was something that was very important to us! Cyndi stuck it out with us over the long 4 months it took for us to find the home. She really listened to our wants and needs, and never got upset when they changed. She truly fights for you and makes you feel so comfortable and confident! She is absolutely amazing!!

Kim helped us purchase a home in Toledo, OH while we were living in Seattle, WA. Working with Kim is such a breeze! We communicated through email, texts & phones calls. She was always very professional & honest with us. We bounced ideas & suggestions off each other to narrow down the options. She has a keen eye for a home's assets and liabilities. The offers we put down on homes were well thought out due to Kim's expertise in negotiating. Even though it was hard when our offers were outbid, she always had our back and knew there was a house waiting for us. We've recommended her to family & friends knowing they'll be in good hands.

Sara is the hardest working realtor out there. Very responsive and efficient. Sold a home for us in Michigan and got us into a home in Ohio! Highly recommended!
