"If anyone is looking to buy a home they need to look nowhere else!"

As a first time home buyer and new to the area I was directed to Real Estate By Design on a referral. I was paired up with Theresa and right away I could tell it was the right decision for me. I can't tell you how fantastic she really is and how she went above and beyond to get me in my home. She was there to help me from start to finish and her knowledge was a great help and helped put my mind at ease when I was having doubts. I can not recommend her enough and if anyone is looking to buy a home they need to look nowhere else!

“Their 5-star service is unparalleled.”

I cannot say enough great things about everyone at Real Estate By Design. As first time home-buyers I new nothing about the home-buying process. Their agent's walked me through every step. I was able to find the perfect home, in the exact location I was looking for. Their 5-star service is unparalleled. Thank you for making my home-buying dreams come true. <3

"I was really impressed with their level of local area knowledge."

Last year I thought I might have to sell my house so I reached out to Real Estate By Design to see what they could do for me. I was really impressed with their level of local area knowledge, their connections with contractors and painters (for getting it looking great before selling) and their ability to easily stage my home. They made the whole selling process incredibly painless and even showed me how I was going to make a nice profit off the sale. I'm glad I didn't need to sell, but if I did, Real Estate By Design would have been my #1 choice.
