George Kolar is a seller's dream. He is very conscientious and most professional, and his attention to detail is beyond reproach. George made sure that the pictures taken of our home for the Michael Saunders website, and the staging of our home, were done to perfection! We sold very quickly, and we are very thankful that George Kolar was our realtor. We highly recommend him.
Wow, am I glad I found George! Due to my husband's sudden illness and inability to travel it was left to me to return to Florida and sell our condo. A wonderful friend recommended George Kolar and I am so thankful. Feeling overwhelmed and anxious about having to accomplish everything in a week, George's advice was invaluable. He has great communication skills and thoroughly explained all aspects of selling our condo. He put a lot of thought into everything from staging to marketing. Even after I returned home George went the extra mile to stay in close contact keeping me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend George to anyone looking for a great realtor who is professional, competent and knows his marketplace well. Thank you George!
Home selling and buying can be extremely stressful and challenging. Trying to accomplish both tasks while being out of state residents just adds an additional degree of difficulty. Thankfully, we selected George as our Realtor and having him available to help us through this process was a godsend. From advising us on getting our house ready for sale to developing a marketing plan he was there for us each step of the way. In locating and finding a new home, George was patient, understanding and a good listener. All in all, George went above and beyond in handling both transactions. As a result we will seek his guidance in selecting a Realtor to help with the sale of our northern home.
