Hear From Our Fans

Working with Chestnut Realty exceeded all of our expectations. Joe and Karen helped us sell out first home and buy our next home. They made the whole process feel easy. We were going through this process with 3 young children which was an added stressor. However, working with Chestnut Realty took the stress out of it. They were responsive, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They talked us through every part of the process and were always available to check in and ease any worries or concerns and answer all questions. They were people we trusted and we could not be happier with our outcome. In addition to the buying and selling process they have taught us about the community. They are not only exceptional realtors but exceptional people. We would highly recommend using Chestnut Realty!

Kim and Stephen

We used Chestnut Realty on two recent transactions and would eagerly recommend their services to anyone looking at real estate in the Burlington area. We have worked with other real estate agents in the past and the personal attention and care we received throughout the process cannot be matched.

We started working with Karen and Joe long before we were formally in the market to purchase a new house. The lack of pressure was really appreciated. When the right house came on the market for us, they gave us great advice on how to structure the offer, and it was accepted with very little negotiations.

With the sale of our existing home, they provided great advice on how to get our house ready to show, which projects to prioritize, and came up with a smart pricing strategy. Selling a home is an overwhelming task, but Joe and Karen went out of their way to make sure it was as stress-free as possible. Trusting their expertise paid off as our house sold within a week and for well over asking price.

Joe and Karen worked tirelessly to make sure our transactions went smoothly. They were always available to answer any questions we had, and made sure we understood everything that needed to be done along the way. Using Chestnut Realty is a choice you won’t regret!

Jeff and Cassie
Karen and Joe recently assisted us with selling our house and buying a new one. They were so knowledgeable and helped us understand our options during each step of the process. As luck would have it, we ran into some bumps in the road, and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone other than them on our team! They were especially important to us when things got stressful, because they did everything they could to help our transactions go through. In the end, we sold our house and are now living in our dream house. We couldn’t have done it without Karen and Joe!
Julie and Michael

Joe and Karen were extremely patient and helpful in getting our house prepared to rent.  They are very knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with.  We are so grateful they made the process so smooth.  We highly recommend using them and would definitely use them again in the future.

Erica and Chris

Joe and Karen were recommended to my husband and I by a friend and we couldn’t be more grateful to work with them during the search for our first home.  They spent many weekends showing us houses and helping us realize what we want. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable while looking at each house, they were also always available for any questions or concerns we had during the process. During our search we were excited to share with them the news that our family would soon be growing and they became determined to help us find the perfect home for our family.  With their help we  closed on our new home just 2 weeks before the birth of our first child and we couldn’t be more excited for the amazing neighborhood and home our little girl will grow up in. We would highly recommend Joe and Karen to anyone who is searching for a new home as they are not just amazing realtors but also great people!

James and Christina

Karen and Joe are the dynamic duo.  They have a solid knowledge of the market and how to present a property to sell it quickly and at the best price.  What sets them apart is how they go above and beyond.  They dealt with little details so that I, the seller, didn’t have to.  They let me know what I needed to do.  Then they completed the sale.  I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work.

Sarah

We recently used Chestnut Realty as our seller’s agent and were extremely happy with the service provided. Not only was the property well marketed and priced but we received multiple offers over asking price. Joe and Karen were on point and proactive in their approach (given that there were parts of the process we had no idea about) which helped to facilitate an efficient and smooth sale! Thanks again guys!
