| We had Brandee Zook for our house buying and selling process. She was absolutely amazing. She helped us as first-time home buyers with the process of buying our first home as we were pretty clueless going into it but she took care of the paperwork and the back and forth and was there for any questions that we had. Then a few years down the road I got transferred with my job and we had to sell our home, again never did that before so we called up Brandee to get the house listed and shown and sold. It was hard for us being 7 hours away from the house to really be able to do anything. It was ok though as Brandee would call and talk to us about anything with the house she picked up mail that was sent and made sure it was taken care of. We left in early fall and when the winter hit there were some harsh weeks there, she called us and asked what we would like the heat to be set at so the pipes didn’t freeze knowing we couldn’t get up there to do it ourselves. If my wife and I ever move back to Brookville or surrounding area Brandee will be the first person we get in touch with. She was an absolute gem and we couldn’t recommend her more. We thank her and RE/MAX for making everything so easy and friendly for first time homeowners and sellers!!!!! | Brandon Bednar |
| Always a pleasure dealing with Katie Bish - Always treats me great and watches out for best interests. | Todd Watt |
| I was a first-time home buyer and didn’t know how to start. I went through my bank and also through RE/MAX from which I chose Brandee Zook as my realtor. She was very honest and straight to the point to what was needed and was one of the people who made the process as smooth as possible. Brandee is a very kind and understanding individual. She went above and beyond while working with others to help me, answering all my questions and making sure I got the dream home that I wanted. If you’re planning on renting and/or buying, she is a great realtor to work with. Highly recommended. | Ebony Pierce |
| After considerable deliberation and with much trepidation, my wife and I decided to sell our family home of 27 years. We raised our children in this home, experienced so many of the challenges of life, but more importantly, we experienced so much of the joys of our lives in this home with our children. We were so blessed with the opportunity to raise our children in our lakefront home. We had so many loving, memorable and fun experiences, not only with our children but also with our extended families. It really was our sanctuary, our true home. We had only sold 1 other home in our lives previously and Lori Srock had represented us as our agent in that sale as well as with the purchase of our existing home. There had been a few difficulties with that sale and Lori was constantly on our side, representing our best interests. Ultimately she made the sale successful and got us into our home of 27 years. When it became time to choose an agent again, she immediately became a top option due to her dedication to our best interests with the previous sale. After such an extended time, we really had little remembrance of the home sale process. After having Lori visit our home, she immediately became a valuable asset to assessing our home for sale as well as providing the details needed. She understood that this was a difficult decision for us, allowing us the time and care we needed to get our home ready for sale and on the market. Finally after all the intense preparation, we listed the house and within 2 weeks our family experienced a devastating loss of an immediate family member and the excitement of selling and relocating lost not only its priority, but also lost its interest as we dealt with our grief. Lori was compassionate, constantly giving us the opportunities to proceed with the sale at the pace we needed to. Ultimately, over the course of our home being on the market, our family suffered the unexpected loss of 2 more additional immediate family members making this one of the most difficult times of our lives. Lori was continuously supportive and gave us the time we needed to deal with the priorities of our lives. Meanwhile, we continued with our efforts to sell the home. We will remain grateful for her understanding and compassion during this entirely difficult process. Ultimately, we had placed the entire process into Lori’s hand’s and it proved to be an excellent decision. From the beginning of the process, we were hoping a young family would find our home and love and appreciate the location as much as we did. Lori found just that family who ultimately successfully purchased our home. We hope they are as blessed there with great and memorable life experiences as we were. Having Lori on our side was beneficial in countless ways. She is so knowledgeable not only of entire process, but also so well connected with the necessary people to help us successfully maneuver such a major life change for us. Ultimately, she sold our home and helped us choose a new home that we love and feel blessed to have purchased. It’s a completely different experience and we’re grateful for the change. We needed Lori’s complete support and attention to get us into our new home as quickly as possible. She assisted in making the closing on our new home a 3 week process! Once again, her support and dedication not only to the process, but her support of us as clients, proved immensely valuable, necessary and appreciated. Thanks to Lori and the people she had connections with, we closed on our sale and our purchase within 2 hours of each other! There were many behind the scene actions that proved Lori’s support of our family during this process. We will forever be grateful for her support, compassion and willingness to work with us as our circumstances permitted. Wishing much success to Lori and much happiness to the family who purchased our family home! | Bill & Kris Kolash |
| Carrie from RE/MAX assisted us with the sale of our income property. She walked us through the process and answered all questions we had making it a seamless and painless process. | Eric Rowles |
| If I had to describe the perfect realtor, Katie would that person! She provided support in so many ways without hesitation throughout the process. This was especially important to me as I live in another state and depended on her to manage all aspects of preparation and sale of the house. Katie's honest and timely communication, sales expertise, and integrity are second to none. Not only is she an outstanding realtor, she is a lovely person who is caring, honets, and hard-working. Thank you, Katie, for all that you did. It was truly a pleasure and privilege to work with her! | Cindy |
| We recently purchased our home on Treasure Lake. Lori Srock was our agent. She was also the listing agent of the home we bought. While we had not previously had a relationship with a real estate agent in a dual agent role, Lori was the consummate professional. She is very honest, and was a joy to work with. Her positive attitude was infectious and very welcome. She was available to address all concerns and questions we had, even if it was well after normal business hours. Lori went above and beyond the call of her duties to ensure the whole process of buying our home went absolutely smoothly. We had never been to the Treasure Lake area of Pennsylvania before. As a lifelong resident, Lori's knowledge has been crucial and welcome. She provided us with contact info of great folks to help us with everything from plowing the snow in the driveway to getting bids for some projects. For all things real estate in Treasure Lake and northwest PA, Lori is our go to agent. Her agency is easy to find as it is right outside the entrance to the Treasure Lake community, so you can make her office your first stop. Highly recommend. | Michael and Lorraine Cochrane |
| To whom it may concern, my name is Brian Patten. I live in the Pittsburgh area and would like to go on the record as a reference for Lori Srock.
I wanted to sell a home in Clearfield, PA. It was a big challenge to get the home ready to sell and deal with issues that came up during the home inspection since I was so far away. Lori stepped in and personally handled getting the home ready and handled all the repairs.
I have dealt with many realtors but have never worked with a realtor that has done more than Lori Srock. | |
| Elaine Rhodes is a true 5 star real estate agent. After personally researching a few real estate agents in the DuBois area, I requested a real estate agent recommendation from a home inspector in Clearfield county based on his interactions with the agents. He suggested Elaine may suit my needs. After speaking with her on the phone it was evident she had great business skills and knowledge of the area. We have bought and sold many homes during our career/work transfers but never in PA. We live out of state, so I needed someone I could count on to manage the listing while I was not present and explain the intricacies of the area and market.
I can say Elaine checks every 5 star box on assistance, compassion (I was selling my parent's legacy home), business skills, complete, detailed and speedy follow ups, quality work on valuation of the property, preparing the listing all of the way through the final sale process. She is very knowledgeable also in the Treasure Lake primary home, retirement home and secondary home market.
I feel like I have made a friend for life as well as enjoying working with a very professional woman. | Sheri Keen |
| Elaine Rhodes sold my mom's house in one day. She is very, very efficient and effective. Elaine knows her clients wishes and made a perfect match immediately. She helped in so many ways professionally. I thank her for her skills and her wonderful personality. | |
| We cannot recommend Elaine highly enough for the job she did working with us to purchase a home in Treasure Lake. Her knowledge of the area, willingness to help, and high aptitude for efficient follow-through is exactly what we were looking for in a realtor. From the first call we made through post-closing she has been fantastic! We were hoping for a professional to help with the business of the purchase of our home, but what we found in Elaine was much more than that. The personal touch she was able to craft (during COVID 19 mind you) was impressive. There were so many guidelines, regulations, stipulations, etc. in place it was hard to keep up with. Elaine made it simple for us to navigate the waters of purchasing the home while handling the storm presented by the pandemic. Elaine seamlessly handled the steps along the way, kept us informed, and even helped find ways to save us money with recommendations for various inspections and other services related to the process.
If you are looking to purchase a home in Treasure Lake, we recommend Elaine highly! We have not used her services to sell a home, but if you have one to sell I'd give her a chance to earn your business - she's the consummate professional. | |
| It is with great pleasure that I am recommending Elaine Rhodes as an amazing realtor. My situation is a little different than most; as I live in Las Vegas, NV. and my brother lives in DuBois, PA. My brother lived in his home in Treasure Lake for the past 23 years, and unfortunately, due to medical issues, he had to move. Elaine was highly recommended by my brothers current neighbor, who absolutely raved about her. I had contacted another realtor, but felt I needed to contact Elaine. After my brother and I met with Elaine, we knew she would do the best job possible and we felt confident in her abilities as a realtor. My brother and I spent several months going through his home, but we were unable to get everything done before I had to return to Las Vegas. Elaine went above and beyond to help us with what needed to be done in his house. Through her contacts, she was able to have some remaining furniture and other items removed from his house, repairs done so the inspection would go well, arranged to have the carpets cleaned, the house cleaned and she kept me informed and updated everyday. Since I am out of town, she alleviated any worry on my part as to how things were being handled. She was able to sell my brothers house in less than 6 weeks, from the initial offer to closing.
Elaine is kind, compassionate, conscientious and meticulous in all aspects of her work. If you want to be in the best hands possible; choose Elaine Rhodes for your realtor. | Debbie Fleming |
| Elaine goes above and beyond what you would expect from a realtor… She is so knowledgeable about the area and will do anything necessary to help you from the day you sign on with her until you complete your purchase or complete your sale. No other realtor I've used in the past has ever been willing to give as much effort as Elaine Rhodes. I give her the highest recommendation possible. | Bob |
| With a home for sale at Treasure Lake, we could not have found a better seller's representative than Lori. Lori helped us establish a fair asking price and actively marketed our home. To our delight, we sold our home within 3 weeks for 98% of our asking price - in a soft real estate market, saturated with homes for sale. | |
| Lori is a knowledgeable, high-energy real estate agent that places customer need before opportunity. I've bought a sold three (3) homes, all with different agents, and I haven't met her equal. Lori goes above and beyond the call of duty and makes sure your needs are aggressively served. I would whole-heartedly recommend Lori for a real estate assignment. | |
| Want to give this lovely lady a much deserved shout-out from Dave & I!! Dave had his house on the market for 10 months with another real estate agency, with not so much as an offer. So when that contract was up, we insisted the listing be switch to Lori Nicholson Srock at ReMax! She immediately hired someone to come out and take QUALITY pictures & gave advice as to minor (but important) changes to be made to improve the showing of the house. Within weeks, she had Dave a full price offer. Unfortunately, the buyers had to withdraw their offer due to local employment contracts not being able to be fulfilled due to COVID. But she didn’t get discouraged. Within a mere couple months, another full-price offer & yesterday all the paperwork was signed & finalized!
There was so much “noise” that unfortunately went on behind the scenes of trying to sell this house that would have made any agent beyond frustrated, but Lori kept her composure and her focus on the common goal - selling the house!
We thank you so much for your diligence, your patience, and your true professionalism Lori!
Sincerely,
Dave & Megan | |
| We had the privilege of working recently with Lori Srock. Lori is not only a kind caring person, but it very conscious of your personal needs when buying or selling your home. We highly recommend RE/Max and Lori. We not only had a very pleasant experience with her and her staff, we have made a new and lasting friendship. We were very pleased. | Lon and Marcy Baird |
| "We were so lucky to find Brandee in our search for a home at Treasure Lake. She was very attentive to our needs and always taking notes as we toured homes. She stuck with us through the buying process and was always very timely in her correspondence. When we found the home we decided to buy, she negotiated a very favorable deal for us in a tough seller's market. I would recommend her to anyone looking for real estate." | R. Jarrell |
| We had been looking for a house out of town for 4 years when we started working with Brandee. She was great at being proactive sending us houses that were available that met our requirements. The first time she showed us a house she took notes on exactly what we liked and didn’t like. Once we were ready to put an offer on our new home and list our old home, Brandee worked tirelessly to make sure that everything went smoothly! With her help our home sold in three days. Brandee works very hard for her clients and is proactive and timely which is required in this crazy housing market to be able to have a chance at purchasing your dream home! Thank you Brandee! We couldn’t have done it without you! | Sarah Smith |
| Brandee has been incredible to work with, she is focused, prompt, and genuinely kind. What makes her truly amazing at her job and puts her above your typical real estate agent is that she cares about her clients. She is not solely looking for a paycheck as she wants them to find the best possible scenario that fits their wants and financial needs. My husband and I also love that she is highly knowledgeable about houses I.e “this house will need a roof”, “to increase the value you could put a half bathroom here”, etc. and we love she is straight forward about properties. We feel blessed that we found her as our Relator! | Brianna Palumbo |
| I have dealt with approximately 12 different realtors, and to this date, Brandee is by far, the most professional, helpful, and friendly realtor I have ever worked with. There were many pitfalls along the way to purchase my house, but she never faltered and persevered to acquire the best deal possible for me from the auction company and mortgage owner. Any questions I posed to her were answered immediately. I highly recommend her, and will most certainly use her service in the future if needed. I do not feel anyone would go wrong with choosing her as an agent. | |
| If you want highly qualified, knowledgeable and trusted agents, ReMax is the agency of choice. I highly recommend ReMax if you want great results. Our house listed and was sold in 8 days! | Pamela Wilson, DuBois |
