Great broker! Enthusiastic, helpful, knowledgeable, fast and accurate communication - and a really nice person. Valerie was a true pleasure to work with. I have left instructions that when my "new" house goes back on the market in a few years, my daughters are to list it with her. Wouldn't consider anyone else.

Lori was above and beyond helpful. She was always quick with her responses. Anything she didn’t know she made the calls found out quickly and got us the answers. She was easy to talk to and helpful with looking at parts of houses I couldn’t get to. When our mortgage lender fell through she even got us a better lender! Thank you Lori!

Val was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in the sale of my mother’s home. She helped us achieve the best price, worked with the buyers agent and contractors on items needed for the appraisal, and communicated with the estates law team for a smooth transaction. Her willingness to go above and beyond was such a relief particularly during an emotional time. I especially appreciated her quick and clear communication on every step and update along the way. All toll, the process was about 6 weeks from start to finish.

All of her recommendations were spot on and just as reliable as she was. We will be forever grateful that we were lucky enough to work with Valerie during our first home buying experience.

I have used the Mikolich Team to purchase several properties and they make it so easy to do. They’re professional and courteous. They are accommodating and flexible with their schedules and most importantly they are so knowledgeable about both resorts and the surrounding areas. I highly recommend using them if purchasing a home and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Erin Mikolich was proactive throughout the process of selling my daughter's home in Somerset. The house was in need of repairs after ten years of rental. All of us in the family live on the west coast and Erin arranged for repairs such as a new heat pump, electrical panel and exterior upgrades. My brother in law, who lives in eastern PA, spear-headed some of the work. So there was a lot of coordination involved. Finally, the house was brought to market and sold quickly. The routine selling process went very smoothly. We got a good price and are very satisfied with the results! Thank you, everyone.

Our experience working with Lori was beyond our expectations. She was able to find buyers that were willing to buy our aunt’s home which needed a lot of work for a price that we didn’t think was possible. Because of this we are now able to care for our aunt who had to move to assisted living. In addition, Lori took care of all of the details and made sure everything went smoothly. Her patience and professionalism was amazing. We would have no problem recommending her to anyone looking for a great real estate agent. She works hard, is easy to get along with, and is very good at her job.
