REAL REVIEWS & SOCIAL PROOF OF OUR SUCCESS - ZILLOW
33
— “I have sold and purchased many houses over my lifetime. Reba
and her team continually wowed my husband and me with their
professionalism and knowledge. In addition to listing and
marketing our home, Reba advised us how to ready our home
and identified capable companies for each service and
coordinated the appointments. I have never worked with a
realtor that provided this much support. We could not be more
satisfied.”
— “I have had the pleasure of working with Reba for Two home
purchases in the past 5 years and would strongly recommend
her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home or property. She
is incredibly dedicated to her profession and her expertise in
the field has helped guide my family and I into wonderful
homes. She is very efficient and communicates throughout the
entire process. I could not imagine working with anyone else!“
— “Reba and her team were amazing. I had an agent for 6 months
prior to Team Reba and she didn't do much to sell my home
other than open houses and price drops. I became frustrated
and fired this agent. During my initial meeting with Reba I was
very impressed! She came over with market analysis, as well as
a marketing plan for how to sell my home. She didn't sugarcoat
anything for me - she let me know what to expect and what I
needed to do to sell my home. She was realistic in what I could
expect to make on the profits. She listed my home and within 6
days I had an offer. I was amazed and very impressed. I would
high recommend Reba for anyone buying or selling a home!”
— “Short Answer: You need Reba.Longer Answer: My place sat on
the market for over 3 months in a 'hot sellers market'. It was
generating little interest even after a substantial price drop. No
staging, poor photos, etc. Reba's friend, Tamara, at Koss
Property Management, recommended Reba and in one week
we had a full-priced offer. Thanks to Reba and her team and
Tamara at Koss Property Management. I would recommend
them with no hesitation.”

— “Reba is just one phenomenal gal. She is so personable,
knowledgeable, intuitive, and a pleasure to work with. If you
need a realtor, she is the one. Great radio shows as well.”
— “Rebecca was wonderful and insanely patient and helpful. We
looked at dozens of places as I was being very picky on what I
wanted for what I could afford. Super friendly and a pleasure
to talk to. Always had answers or was willing to find answers
to my questions. Buying a home is a big commitment and can
be stressful. Rebecca made it an overall pleasant experience. I
really enjoyed working with her and would again.”
— “Reba is one of the best realtors that we have met . She has
tons of experience ,in addition to a great work ethic, and
demands that from everybody in her team. She stays in
constant communication with you and with the seller's agent,
making sure that you get the best deal. As first time home
buyers we were really surprised that our transaction felt like a
breeze and that is because we worked with the BEST OF THE
BEST. I would definitely recommend Reba Haas and her
partners (Eric Aasness and James Rupp - Home Inspection),
especially if you are a first time home buyer. In case you are
not a newbie, you will be even more satisfied when you see
the difference between a regular realtor and an exceptional
realtor like Reba Haas!”
— “For many years now Rebecca Haas has been referring her
clients to me for my property management and leasing
services. She has always been very professional and great to
work with. All of her clients who have worked with both of us,
have always praised Reba for her knowledge and great
customer service. Her attention to detail is fantastic and she
always seems to go the extra mile for her clients. I would
highly recommend her to anyone considering selling their
home or looking to purchase a new home. There are a lot of
real estate agents in the business, and she exceeds all
expectations.”
