Because we are a team and there are two of us, we always have time for you. People compliment us a lot on how efficient we are.

What our clients are saying....

"From the beginning you were realistic and completely honest with us. You helped us price our house to sell quickly, and it was still $8,000 more than I had envisioned. You encouraged us in the staging process and got it sold in only 11 days. Then, in all the negotiations with the buyer and FHA since then, you have stuck up for us, fighting for us every step and doing more than you should have had to do.
On top of all that, you two are so personable I feel like we are friends. You two are an amazing team! You deserve every success possible and certainly every dollar we're paying you for selling our house. We couldn't have done this alone!"
-Bill & Karen Curry

"I tried to sell it myself for 9 months and the Wolter Team sold it for 7% more than I had it for sale. They found a buyer on the first day!" Call them and get it done! -Curt Cope

"The Wolter Team delivers a great buying and selling experience!" Dave & Delaine Lanning

"Gary & Melynda sold our house in 6 days!" Kaye Nolan

"Because of your negotiation skills, we saved thousands!" Chris Cejka

"We got our house sold in 7 days and got full price! Thanks Gary & Melynda" Pete and Tami Richardt

"We were excited that our house sold during the hectic month of December, at 98% of the asking price and in just 20 days." Stacey Twedt

Trying to sell our house on our own was a big gamble that we wish we wouldn't have taken. The family time that we lost and open houses every weekend along with all of the stress just isn't worth it. Money can't buy back all that family time we lost. How much is your time worth? Will you really save that much? The person who bought our house waited for it to be listed to make an offer. Thanks to the Wolter Team we sold our house in 29 days after listing it and got 98% of the asking price. Barry & Angela Baumeister
