To say Mandy Draper and her team went above and beyond to sell our house is an understatement. Not only was the marketing of our home both top notch and affordable we got advice on everything associated with preparing the home and our move. In the end we took an approach of "let's just do whatever Mandy tells us" as her advice and strategy were always spot on. We were not easy client, with our decision to sell a difficult one, but she was endlessly patient over a period of many months. Most importantly we really think we got the best price possible for the home thanks to her preparations and negotiations.

Mandy Draper at Community Real Estate is a consummate professional who provided expert guidance at every step of the way in selling our property. We had inherited the property in terrible shape, and Mandy helped us with everything from complete disaster clean-up to landscaping in order to prepare it for sale. She was thorough and thoughtful regarding every step of the process, communicated clearly and kept us informed, and had the highest level of integrity. She dealt creatively and professionally with a couple of unanticipated glitches that arose during the closing, and the property ultimately sold for a price well above the listing price. I cannot speak highly enough of the dedication, skill, and professionalism of Mandy Draper at Community Real Estate. Her service was exceptional!

Not all real estate agents/agencies are created equal so why roll the dice on the guy or gal with their face on the most yard signs or ads in the local paper? Real estate transactions are the most important, most complicated transactions most of us will ever make, and one wrong move by an inexperienced agent could be expensive or impossible to correct. The Draper Team helped us with 3 uniquely different transactions and quickly earned our trust and respect with their expertise in market research and trends, market prep, marketing strategy, timing, negotiation, financing, estate and tax implications, rental prep, inspections, and the potential legal ramifications of each decision we made. I couldnt imagine buying or selling real estate without Matt or Mandy guiding us.

We highly recommend our realtor Mandy Draper! Our home was difficult to sell because it is a high end rural property which needed many upgrades. Mandy dedicated her expertise, time and energy to handle every obstacle and then to successfully market and sell our property. We hugely benefitted from Mandys Civil Engineer background and construction and landscaping knowledge. Mandy has the ability to patiently and clearly explain her strategies to her clients and to assertively and ethically promote their interests.

If you are looking for someone to take care of all the details so you don't have to, then I think you'll love working with Mandy. Not only did she give us great advice on everything from timing to list the home, pricing strategy, and sorting through multiple offers - she was able to plan and coordinate all the work that needed to be don't to prepare the home for market. Being able to tap into all her resources from painting, cleaning, gardening, and everything needed for inspections made our lives so much easier. I can't speak highly enough for the service we received from Mandy and all the folks at Community Real Estate, which is I suppose is why we've used them in the past for the sale of our parents home, the purchase of a new home, and then the sale of this home - all three times have been delightful experiences.

I cant say enough positive things about the Drapers! I began the home-buying journey with a lot of skepticism about the process and distrust in the motives, but with their patient, invaluable guidance, weve now purchased our primary home and first investment property. Mandy and Matt will listen to your needs and work out the structure of your offer together, setting boundaries ahead of time within your comfort zone. Your offer will be made stronger by the fair and honest mindset that the Drapers bring to the party on the other side of the deal. Inspections and any inevitable twists in the process are handled amicably, and should you need help with any repairs, theyll work around your occupancy schedule to put together a tidy timeline. Even after everyone is paid, the Drapers always make themselves available for questions and advice, or to even meet with a contractor on your behalf. I know your experience will be as good as ours have been, whether youre buying, selling, or both while under a tight deadline!

Mandy was fantastic to work with. She couldnt have been more knowledgeable and responsive, and truly had our best interest at heart. She more than exceeded our expectations and we couldnt have been happier with the process and end result. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
