Nate was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with what I was purchasing. Nate was always available and worked completely around my schedule. He made sure to make himself free whenever I was to ensure we could look at any home I was interested in. Nate was and is also extremely responsive, to this day he always answers his phone or makes sure to get back to me within the day if I call with any type of question. If you are looking for a realtor who genuinely wants to do a great job and help you purchase what you want, as well as somebody who is there every step of the way, Nate is your guy.

Kyle Swanson and the Realty Edge Team were great. We found a home we really liked in the area and Kyle worked with us quickly to get an offer in even when we didn’t have our pre approval. Kyle then helped us to sell our home for asking in 3 days with multiple offers. They know the area and the market well. If you’re looking for a realtor Kyle and the Realty Edge Team. They will surely have an agent you can work with that’ll make everything work for you.

I had an amazing experience buying my first house with Nate. He was on time and willing to work with any schedule from week days to weekends. He was very knowledgeable for buying a house. I was able to find the house that I was looking for in the area that I wanted to live. If I'm looking to move he's going to be my first call

Dan and the Realty Edge Team were a wonderful help through out the entire process of buying our first home. They were always accessible to answer any questions, or address any concerns we might have. The entire team was knowledgeable about every aspect of the buying process, and was able to link us with other local agencies to help with financing. My husband and I can't say enough good things about the Realty Edge Team, and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Kyle was truly a pleasure to work with. We're first time home buyers and he made the process very enjoyable. He communicated routinely with new properties and house information. He's funny and very respectful and I will recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy property.

From the time we first connected with Kyle from the Realty Edge Team about the possibility of listing our house to the first offer, it was under 2 weeks. The house was never officially listed as this agent knows his clients; he connected back with a family looking to purchased a new home and Kyle set up a showing 3 days before it was to be listed. That evening we received and accepted their offer! The sale of the house continued on this smooth path right through the closing. I couldn't have asked for anything more with trying to sell a house, especially with 2 young children. No meal times, nap times, or bedtimes were disrupted!

I had a great experience in working with Kyle and the Realty Edge Team to purchase my home. As a first time home buyer, I didn't have a lot of knowledge of how the home buying process worked, but Kyle was always willing to talk me through the steps and answer any questions I had. He was always quick to respond to questions, or let me know how things were going. Kyle was great to work with, and I can't wait to enjoy my new home!

Kyle was my neighbor across our cul de sac before he also became my realtor. Selling this house, in particular, was an enormous undertaking for me because of the many things I needed to do to get it ready. The upstairs needed new carpet and I also had to come to terms with the fact that lilac, yellow, and tangerine-curry paint are not crowd pleasers. Kyle referred me to a carpet supplier and installer for good quality at an affordable price. Tammy, from Realty Edge, gave me lots of excellent advice on staging and, although I balked at "Agree-able Gray" as a paint color, she was absolutely right. Everything turned out beautifully. Throughout the listing and selling, Kyle was pleasant, informative, fun, responsive, and he negotiated a fair sales price. I felt respected and cared about by all the staff from Realty Edge throughout this entire project. I strongly recommend Kyle and his team at Realty Edge

We've been working with Kyle Swanson as our realtor for over 6 years now. Every time we've bought a house, I've been more and more impressed with how beneficial Kyle and the Realty Edge Team have been to us. The reasons I really like working with Kyle is 1) how easy he makes the buying process. My wife and I have discussed multiple times how we feel we have to put forth little to no effort. 2) Ease of availability. Especially early on in buying houses, we had many questions we were unsure of and Kyle always made himself available to assist in any way possible. 3) I never felt pressured to buy a house. I truly felt he always kept our best interest in mind. At times he would "steer" us away from a house (which ALWAYS turned out to be the right decision) and didn't care to "just make a sale." There are many other reasons that Kyle has been 2nd to none in our mind, but I would suggest you find out for yourself what the rest of the items are and give him a call whenever you need any assistance in real estate.

We have a home that needs a very specific buyer. We have listed our house before and wasn’t successful so we rented it. When our renter moved out we really didn’t want to rent it out again. We were referred to Dan because we were looking for someone with local knowledge and willing to work with us and our limitations. He did an amazing job! He was very knowledgeable, hard working, and was very thorough with us. I would and will be recommending Dan to my family and friends for their realty needs. Thank you Dan!

Dan and the Realty Edge were amazing to work with in buying our first home. His knowledge and connections were invaluable throughout the entire process. Also him and his staff were very understanding about all questions my wife and I had. I never expected the excellent level of service we experienced with Dan and his team. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

We had brought our home using Kyle and was so happy we used him to sell our home 2 years later. Kyle knows and understands the real state business and was very attentive to making our home ready for sale. Kyle and his associates were prompt in addressing any questions we had and made the whole process easy and stress free.
Kyle is Honest, Humble and Professional and would recommend him and his team for sure!
