Agent Testimonials
“When I looked up “real estate agent” in the dictionary, all the usual qualities were listed there, like communicator and problem solver. I should have seen a picture of Jeff Maret. Jeff Maret stands head and shoulders above any real estate agent and most business people I know and know of. He takes the usual success characteristics well beyond my wildest expectations. Within three weeks of my meeting him and asking him to sell my house, he had secured not one, but three offers! • Communication: Jeff is strong communicator, using every possible means to communicate with perspective buyers and their agents and even me, the seller. He is very tech savvy. He said he was going to get as many eyes on the pictures of the property as possible and he did, including hosting a sake and sushi lunch for his brokerage’s agents and a special Curious Neighbor Open House before the public open house. He proactively pursued buyers in multiple mediums and stayed in contact with all interested parties. When the offers came in, Jeff vetted each one with the buyer’s agent and the buyer’s bank. He is amazingly thorough. Jeff ensured that I received and understood the notifications of showings and the showing agent’s feedback. • High integrity: Jeff wrote the book on honesty and integrity from start to finish, through difficult negotiations. He always put my interests first, but with finesse and transparency. This instilled trust between the two of us. • Attention to detail: Jeff had a plan and stuck to the plan. He checked and double checked everything. I often found him at my house, whether oiling squeaky hinges and checking windows or just making sure everything looked good for the next showing. • Experience: Jeff has seven years of real estate experience, but because he is meticulous in his work and reflective thoughtfulness of his successes and failures, those years are multiplied. He knows the market and he knows the neighborhood. He knows how to position a property for sale. He takes advantage of every nuance that the property has to offer and highlights the benefits for the buyers. • Empathy: Jeff showed empathy during tough negotiations and always gave me time to think about situation. He often told me “no rush.” Jeff didn’t just listen to me and the buyers’ agents, he actively listened and took my ideas and suggestions to fruition. • Negotiate: All these skills, Jeff had perfected so that when it came time for the final push, the final negotiations, he played his A game and won the sale. So when you look up “real estate agent” in the dictionary, you ought to see a picture of Jeff Maret. He takes the prize as the very best, without question! He is trustworthy and dedicated, professional and thorough and, as a bonus, he is warm and friendly. He sold my house FAST! Only three weeks from the day I met him until he secured an offer!”

“I couldn't possibly do justice to Jeffrey's performance as an agent. He went far above and beyond what I would expect from an agent in helping us with every aspect of preparing our house for sale, listing, negotiating, etc. He is kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. He provided sound advice and reassurance again and again. The buyer's agent for our home sale was unpredictable and frankly untrustworthy. He threw huge wrenches into the works again and again, right up to the last minutes of closing. Jeffrey found a way to navigate each obstacle, even going to the point of sitting down with the buyer's agent and educating him on the rules governing real estate transactions. Jeffrey held together a contingent, three-party deal through all of this. I truly believe very few agents could have made this work. Even though the behavior of the buyers made this process a nightmare at times, Jeffrey provided us with the best possible representation and advice. We actually talked with several agents before reaching out to Berkshire, and I'm so glad we did. We will always be grateful for Jeffrey's hard work and savvy. He spent so much time with us, explaining every option and helping us with each new turn in the process. Everything he did was highly ethical; he was a firm 'no' when the buyers agent suggested questionable approaches. Jeffrey always explained the relevant rules to us when they came up. I'm probably forgetting half the things he did while acting as our agent - he is a stellar agent. On top of that, it was an absolute pleasure to get to know him. I'd give a hundred stars if I could. This was an exceptionally challenging deal in many ways, and Jeffrey excelled.”

He was very professional and answered all of my numerous questions. Jeff was very reliable and responsive to my needs. I found him to be a very hard worker.

Jeffrey has been there for us all along as we've looked for properties. He has always been optimistic that if we persevered we would fine the right place. As it turned out, the building we purchased is only a couple of minutes by car from our former location. We couldn't be happier about the building we found. Jeffrey has been great through the whole process. Well informed, listening to all parties, always in a good mood, we are beyond satisfied with his services. Highly recommended!”

“Very responsive and helpful every step of the way. Never had an agent b4 that was so engaged, even jumped in to help with getting last minute prep done on the house the day before going active. Would definitely recommend him.”
“Jeffrey was an incredible realtor throughout the entire process. His ability to go above and beyond really over exceeded my expectations. From the first duplex to walking me through the purchasing steps Jeffrey’s patience’s made the entire process so much easier and comfortable. I never felt a sense of urgency with any property and I really appreciated his willingness to explore every basement. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell their home because every move he makes is in his clients best interest. Can’t say enough good things about Jeff, thanks again!”
“My wife and I were randomly assigned Jeffrey as our realtor through a housing website and he was absolutely exceptional. Jeffrey goes above and beyond in all aspects. Jeffrey's communication was informative and he kept us up to date at all times. Jeffrey was a blessing for our family. He was patient in looking at homes and while working with our autistic son. My family is so thankful for the service Jeffrey provided. There is no doubt that we will recommend Jeffrey to anyone in Missouri. Absolutely an incredible realtor and person.”
“Jeffrey was incredible to work with during our recent home purchase. He was a leader in the process by providing constant, detailed communication as we went from bid to closing. He helped us through a very tight closing schedule while at the same time looking out for us by making sure we understood all of the details of the deal. He coordinated well with the selling agent, all of the various inspection parties and bank throughout the entire process. We truly believe that his attention to detail and strong communication and coordination skills were one of the main reasons our home purchase was a success for our family. On top of all that, he has a warm and friendly personality that makes him a joy to work with! Awesome job!”
“Jeff is the best real estate agent ever!!! He is very informative he make sure things are right from beginning to end. Even after the closing he was there to help with whatever I needed. We looked for about 9 months until we found the right house and we did. Always kind, courteous and polite he is also very down to earth. I couldn't ask for a better agent.”
