Testimonials

"Kalen was our realtor this past July to help my wife and I find our first home.  She did an exceptional job meeting our needs. We explored every option from building to buying new, and fixer uppers.  She made the transition into the new home seamless and cannot thank her enough for all her hard work.  I would highly recommend Kalen to anyone looking at changing their housing situation. She is very knowledgeable about all areas of real estate.  Thanks again Kalen!"

"We had a great experience working with Kalen.  She kept the line of communication open throughout the whole process of looking for a house, selling our house, and even since moving into our new house.  She will treat you with respect and she has a genuinely great personality.  I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.  She is not just out to make money, but rather, makes your best interest her top priority."
- Justin and Sara W.
 

"I want to thank you for all your help in selling our home. One thing I appreciated the most was you always returned our phone calls. I felt like you had our interest at heart.  When their was a few mix-ups on our moving day you were right on it and fixed the problem. Richard and I  enjoyed working with you, and you know we love to move so I am sure you will be there for us in the future...Again Thank You for all your hard work."

"Kalen Ludwig sold our old home last year and helped us find and buy our forever home. She was so attentive and detailed-oriented through the entire process, hand-holding us through every step. I think what makes Kalen unique is that she consistently fights for the best interests of her clients, gives them excellent advice, and maintains a cool and calm demeanor though very tough negotiations. I loved working with Kalen and always recommend her to all my family and friends who are thinking about selling and/or buying a home!"
