Testimonials

We knew Dirk would be very good and would help us move our home to Oak Hills quickly. At first, I was a bit concerned as our home was "only" an upper six-figure home, not a seven-figure investment. Dirk assured me that it wouldn't be an issue and he is experienced in properties in our price range. He and his team coached me on things that I could do in preparation for a sale (upgrades to the home, things to leave, dispose of) Dirk is no island. What made a huge difference is a network and team that he brings to the job. He had people who have worked with him paint the house, make lighting upgrades, stage the property, and work on the marketing. They showed up almost overnight - no waiting weeks for a contractor to make our home a priority. The home sold in 4 days; Dirk also had a great strategy for pricing and it worked in our favor. Upon inspection, we had issues with the crawl space. O…

We knew Dirk would be very good and would help us move our home to Oak Hills quickly. At first, I was a bit concerned as our home was "only" an upper six-figure home, not a seven-figure investment.

He and his team coached me on things that I could do in preparation for a sale (upgrades to the home, things to leave, dispose of) Dirk is no island. What made a huge difference is a network and team that he brings to the job. He had people who have worked with him paint the house, make lighting upgrades, stage the property, and work on the marketing. They showed up almost overnight - no waiting weeks for a contractor to make our home a priority. The home sold in 4 days; Dirk also had a great strategy for pricing and it worked in our favor. Upon inspection, we had issues with the crawl space. Once again Dirk and the team immediately got quotes and they were scary. Never one to give up, Dirk had a plan to split up the work and get two different quotes and sure enough, the cost of the work was reduced by 1/3 and we closed in time to keep the original buyers on board. He also worked hard to get a backup buyer in place in case we came across other issues. To say that we are or were extremely happy with his work, professionalism, his super friendly and hard-working team, and local knowledge is an understatement.

Dirk came to our home two years before we put our home on the market, at the recommendation of a design colleague. She said he would be able to give us valuable feedback on updates we were considering prior to selling our home. Dirk came to our home and gave us excellent advice, noting updates that buyers would be looking for, as well as a recommended budget for those updates. We followed through on his suggestions and enjoyed the results ourselves before selling. Two years later, we called Dirk. He still had our file and remembered many details of our meeting. He gave us additional suggestions to prepare our home for sale, which were instrumental in helping to sell our home extremely quickly. Dirk, along with his team, especially Cathi Render, made each step as simple as possible. We appreciated how they looked out for every detail, gave us timely information, and made documents easily …
