Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Family Realty Testimonials

Broden performed flawlessly as our buyer's agent during the recent purchase of our Grand Forks home. As a lifelong resident, his local area knowledge was invaluable in assisting us in finding the perfect location. Though his brokerage listed the property we ultimately selected, I never felt as though he was trying to sell us anything, but rather was very attentive and listened carefully to our specific wants and needs. Always responsive in communication, Jon was patient and professional throughout the negotiation process. He even went above and beyond in assisting us with our transition during a difficult time of year, having our driveway plowed and setting the thermostat until we arrived. The whole experience felt like a friend looking out for our interests instead of a salesman in search of a commission. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to my own friends and constituents.

I built my home and he was so helpful with the entire process and stayed on top of the developers with everything we did. Josh always made me feel like he was in my corner and he made sure I was nothing less than 100% satisfied. Thank you Josh!!

He did a great job on persevering through a long listing process for us. I would definitely recommend him to others and utilize him again in the need arises.

Jon gave great insight and knowledge on the properties that I was looking to buy. Although I have not bought a house yet, I plan to use Jon when the time comes. Jon was very easy to work with, knowledgeable, and professional. I look forward to working with him in the future.

! Would highly recommend her services to anyone selling property!!

When we went looking at houses, he took me to every viable town and showed me parks and other recreation on the way. Don't let his picture fool you, he has much more experience now. He was able to answer all of my questions, and I had a lot (first time home buyer), to get me to the finish line.

She was patient showing us as many homes as we wanted and was able to meet us on short notice and arrange for showings that worked with our schedules. She learned our needs and wants in a home and had many suggestions for homes to see. Extremely communicative through the whole process ,which made things go quickly and smoothly. If you want the best- we recommend Jodi!

She has her clients’ best interest at heart

We looked for months, he was patient and only sent us what we where looking for. If you need an agent that is knowledgeable and knows the real estate market, call Jon! We can't say enough good about him!

! She truly cares about each individual client’s needs and desires, she puts in so much time and energy into each sale, she is super knowledgeable in real estate and highly dependable!! You won’t regret using Jodi to buy or sell your house!

I appreciated her work.

She always made everything clear and easy and if I had a question I didn't hesitate to ask and got the answer almost right away. If there was something I had to get done on my end Jodi made sure I knew what to do and that I got the task done. I can easily say I wouldn't have gotten where I am today with my home without Jodi's help and guidance. I highly recommend her services and would definitely ask for her help in the future if need be.

I couldn't be more excited to have our own place again. We could not have done it without the amazing souls who helped us. So grateful. Thank you for your hard work Felicia.

! Jodi was the best!!!

He helped me get everything ready to list my house. Once my house was listed he had a plethora of potential buyers come look at it. We got offers on the house after just 2 days. Everything went smooth and was such an easy process!

This being our first house selling/buying she helped us alot with understanding everything!! I highly recommend Felicia for your Realtor needs.

She took time to understand what I was looking for and as we looked at houses she saw what I liked and didn't and added it to her thinking. She is not pushy in her sales technique and I really got the feel she wanted me to find the right house and was there to facilitate that. Incredibly pleasant to work with and easy to get a hold of and responding back. Started out looking in one direction and then as I saw things available ended up going a little different direction, but Jodi took the time and we walked through quite a few houses to find the right one over almost four month time span. She was honest in her assessment when asked about different things about the houses and was helpful to me with information being in a new area. Really appreciated her help and would recommend her without hesitation.

Not only did we get a great place with enough space for our family to grow, but we got it at a better price than expected thanks to her! She can see your point of view and help you find what you are looking for. She had answers to every question we had and knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were looking at. She is also very quick to respond! We highly recommend Khonsavanh if you are looking for an agent.

He worked fast to sell our house to ensure we were able to get the house we wanted. I recommend Jon Broden to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with our experience with him. He was always available and went the extra mile! He found us the perfect lot to build our dream home! He even went with to help us design our home! He was always honest with us which we really appreciated! We would 100% use him again! Such a funny guy too!

She not only sold our home within a week, she also helped us find our new home and was more than helpful every step of the way! She made selling and buying stress free and we highly recommend her for your realty needs.

Being a first time home buyer I was concerned about the process, however, Josh walked us through everything and explained everything we had questions about. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and the market. This comforted us in making our decision to buy. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy in Grand Forks.

His humor helped me through some of the frustrations of selling my Dad's place and he responded to my questions and requests immediately. Even though our selling situation was far from a textbook or easy at any point, he was ready with options and advise that helped us eventually get to a closing.

He offered help and advice along the way and within 6 weeks my house was on the market and had two buyers ready to rumble...lol He made the experience of letting go after 26 years less stressful because I was in great hands that I could trust.

She is both collaborative and aggressive at the same time. Her understandings of psychology and finance merge perfectly to the advantage of her customers. She is a realtor with the skills to adjust to the wishes of her clients, a trait rarely found in other realtors. Simply put, you won't find anyone better than Katie

I always felt Jon had my back and was working to get me the house I was looking for at the best price I could afford. I would certainly recommend him to any of my friends or family. I was always shocked because it seemed this like this guy was always working and he always responded to my questions with everything I asked about and then some. Thanks Jon.

We called him up and said we were ready to house hunt and I gave him a list of houses I wanted to look at and he had us looking the next day at the ones at the top of my list! He is quick to respond and doesn’t leave you hanging and waiting for answers. No question is a stupid question he is down to earth and there to help you understand the whole process. He definitely wants whats best for you. He will take his time and make sure you are getting what YOU want! We are very pleased and would rate his services excellent and I would recommend him to anybody looking to sell/buy!!

First, she was very attentive to our likes and dislikes, our individual needs, our budget, and time frame for purchase. She is also an excellent communicator. And when it came to the actual purchase she remained very involved throughout the entire process. Even attended the closing sitting in her car in the rain and waited for us to be completed. Great dedication on her part.

She was always very prompt to respond and always had an answer to our questions. The whole home buying process was so easy, we were so lucky to find her.

She is easy to work with and super helpful. I am happy I was recommended to her. I definitely recommend her! Jodi gets stuff done and will get answers for you right away!

She was so helpful and available to answer questions pretty much any time of day. She always gave her honest opinion. The best decision we made was having her as our realtor! 10/10 would use her again to buy or sell a home.

He knew the area, market and inventory extremely well. He found us our dream home-a house we had skipped over during our search online. Thanks goodness Josh was there to guide us. He is incredibly down to earth and a pleasure to work with.

She is calm, comforting, and kind - never pushy. Great knowledgeable realtor!

We had multiple special requests for her, and she followed through with all of them. She definitely went above and beyond in every way! I would highly recommend Jodi to anyone!

She was very good with communicating with me and my wife next time I buy a house I will definitely choose Khonsavanh Boettner again

She is knowledgeable about the local market and skilled at negotiating a fair price--higher than we would have negotiated on our own. She kept us "in the loop" through the entire process, even texting us with updates while she was on vacation! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to either buy or sell a house.

She was so reassuring throughout the entire process which eased my high anxiety about purchasing a home. She stuck with us for a year, pressure free, as we searched for the right home and the right financing. She was so knowledgeable, yet not afraid to ask questions of whomever to make sure we had the answers we were looking for. She spent countless hours on touring homes with us, researching various services for us, and touring more homes (some for the second, third, and fourth times). Khonsavanh’s patience and loyalty to her clients is unmatched and at the end of it all, she made sure that we were making the best decision for our family on our own terms. Believe me when I say that I truly never thought home ownership was within reach for me, but Khonsavanh was the missing link in making our dream a reality (cheesy, but true!)

! She was always quick to answer our late night questions and reassure us throughout the whole process! It was fun getting to see her show such interest and passion in what she does! I HIGHLY recommend her expertise!! Sweetest realtor out there! (& her side kick is pretty cute)

Great company to have around any day.

Keeping in touch, helping sell our house quick and easy. Such a bubbly personality and so great to work with. She definitely cares and wants what is best for her clients. I would definitely recommend her to everyone who is looking to sell or buy a home.

She is honest and straight forward. She has a lot of patience and is very helpful! I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a professional realtor!

She is there for your every need and appreciates each and every client.

As first time home buyers, she made the process easy and enjoyable. She is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful. She probably has many clients, but she always responded quickly to emails, texts, or calls and was very available when looking at properties. She really cared about what we were looking for and helped us find our new home! I would highly recommend Katie Marcotte as a realtor.

Khonsavanh was very knowledgeable of the market and was able to quickly identify our wants and needs. She was so easy to work with throughout the process and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. She negotiated well and got us the price we were looking for. We are so thankful to have worked with such a great realtor and friend!

She did a great job keeping us up to date on our purchase of our new home, very knowledgeable and we'll prepared Thanks again!

She always responded to me very quickly. She accommodated my schedule & I found her very nice to work with. I would highly recommend Jodi.

She sold my house within 6 months and made it smooth and easy for me. She also went above and beyond to help make sure that my inspection went through and even helped me paint outside in the dead of winter. If that isn’t a true dedicated realtor I’m not sure what is. I 100% recommend her!!

I would recommend her to anyone. She is very knowledgeable as easy to work with. She listens to what you have to say and tailors her process to fit your needs. Thanks again Jodi.

Hard to find exactly what a person wants but she made it happen even at the last minute.

I never felt rushed when looking at houses with him, and never felt as if he was trying to push a house on me. He has an easy going, honest attitude and points out numerous details about the houses during viewings. He is an experienced realtor who knows how to negotiate the proper price, as well. Always responsive as well.

She answered all our questions and never made us feel like we were a nuisance!! She was awesome to get back to us and get us what we needed so timely! We can't thank her enough for making this process so smooth for us! Thank you Jodi!!

We were first-time home-buyers and being from the south, we had no experience with cold weather, but he explained what we needed to know in layman's terms. Since I only had a couple of days in town to look at houses before we eventually moved up here, he picked me up from my hotel and we saw ten properties in half a day! He also knew a lot about the town, which put my mind at ease when he recommended certain neighborhoods over others. The negotiation process was smooth and easy, and he kept in contact even after we closed to help us with little things we needed to know about the house. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Grand Forks

We began working with a different realtor who did not listen to our needs, and did not make an effort to highlight our home through social media and other advertising outlets. Katie stepped in and sold our house within 8 days, after it had sat on the market for six weeks and only been shown twice. She came to our closing, and I felt confident knowing that she was their to advocate for me. In fact, Katie and her husband went above and beyond expectations, and arranged to have our new home's driveway shoveled after a snow storm the night before move-in day! I trust her and know that beyond being a good realtor, she is a good person with a good heart.

She made our selling process effortless, even during a pandemic! Excellent communication every step of the way. Highly recommend.

He is a true professional. Jon knows Grand Forks and the surrounding areas very well, and being from out of state, that is invaluable! He ensures he knows exactly what his clients are looking for in a home (size, style, location). He is also very patient, and knows that it may take quite a few showings to find “the one”. Jon helped us find the charming home that we were looking for, and we are so happy in our new home

Josh helped me price the house right and got it under contract in a short period of time. Thanks for your hard work Josh! We appreciate it!

He was with us from beginning to end and managed to the whole process - taking away so much of the stress and anxiety of buying a new home. He was very straightforward with us as we tried to determine which house was best for our needs, and which house was a good investment. He ensured things moved along quickly and smoothly. We would definitely use him again, except I think he did too good a job and we'll be happy where we are for a long time!

He has an incredible work ethic and even more important to us...he has a sense of URGENCY, which is hard to find in GFs, ND. This sense of urgency is what we were needing to sell our higher end home, and be able relocate back to Texas. We had tried to sell it twice before with a different realtor who was unsuccessful. Jon was able to get the job done, not only in our 60 day time frame, but directed a fantastic social media campaign. Jon has business sense, with a customer service focus. If you are serious about selling, or serious about buying...he should be at the top of your list for realtors! Thanks Jon! You are the BEST!

I explained the features I was looking for and he found homes that met or exceeded my hopes all while keeping my budget in mind. Josh made being a first time home buyer simple and guided me through each step, answering every question I had along the way.

He is very professional, knowledgeable and upfront about everything. I would 100% recommend Jon in every real estate decision you have to make. My wife and I are forever grateful that we have Jon on our side. We will be having him, again, represent us in the future! Thanks Jon!

He’s is very knowledgeable, professional, and quick to respond. I was able to contact him at all times of the day, making communication a breeze. Thank you so much for all of your help!

He was the only realtor who followed up with me when I sent out an inquiry and I sent information to 6 or 7 other local agents. He was always prompt to return emails and texts and flexible with out tight out of town schedule. He is easy going and a pleasure to work with.

He was easy to talk to and happy to answer any of our questions through text/email/phone call. He talked us through the process step by step and gave us suggestions along the way if we asked. We would gladly recommend him to anyone we know looking to buy a house.

She kept me informed of everything that needed to be done and got back to me right away if I had any questions. She was awesome in helping me sell my house and I will recommend Berkshire Hathaway to everyone.

This is where the nightmare began. Long story short, my property manager quit on me and I had a very difficult time finding a new one. I tried to handle the property myself from a different state and it was a nightmare. Both renters trashed my home, causing thousands of dollars in damage. I was devastated. And I am currently still dealing with legal issues surrounding the renters that up and left without warning. I contacted one company, but as the relator was new to the field he was unable to help me with all the issues I was dealing with. I literally went on line and selected the first name and picture that popped up. And boy did I luck out. My contact with Josh has been via phone/email but he has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND what anyone in his position is required to do. It would take me all day to list the things that he has done for me. This would include putting me in contact with a lawyer who spoke to me and gave me advice free of charge. I didn’t think that there were kind people left in this world, but I was wrong. I would be in horrible state if it wasn’t for him. If I ever decide to purchase another home, I hope that I will be able to use him again. TOP NOTCH SEVICE. If you use him as your realtor, you will not be sorry….He was really a godsend

Josh is an excellent representative who respects the opinions of his clients. It is truly evident that he has his client's best interests in mind when providing feedback and is willing to make time and become available fairly rapidly. Josh will be our go-to agent when we are ready to buy and/or sell again. Thanks Josh!

All through our process we had amazing help from Khonsavanh, she really made us feel as family. She answered any questions we had on the process immediately and efficiently. She never made me feel as thought I was asking a dumb question or reaching out excessively. She put our mind at ease every step of the way.

After working with Khonsavanh for only 1 week, we found a house we loved, put in an offer, and she got us a really great deal! I highly recommend Khonsavanh! She is great at what she does and she's a wonderful person!
