To say our two year home search was a slog is a massive understatement. We had a very specific list of needs, in an unforgiving market with extremely limited inventory. Many times we were ready to throw in the towel, often with unexpected issues found in the homes we considered. But Peter and Joelle did not give up. We finally found a property that blew it out of the park and made the waiting and disappointments worth it. Had Peter and Joelle not kept us motivated, we would never have gotten there. They also made the purchase process smooth and kept us very well informed.
Once we listed our existing home, they did a beautiful job with marketing, and we sold well above asking. Thank you Peter and Joelle. It was an adventure to be sure. Wouldn’t have wanted to travel through it with anyone else!

"The Waterkottes were phenomenal realtors! They were incredibly helpful and hands on throughout the process. As first time home buyers, they walked us through every step and made sure we felt comfortable. After closing they continued to stay in touch and offered trustworthy resources in all of the speed bumps and projects that came with making the house a home." - Zach W.

★★★★★
"How fortunate we were to work with the Waterkotte Group on our recent acquisition. The search was fun and optimistic. The offer and settlement were the most complicated and so without the Waterkotte Group we could not have purchased the home. There were daily and weekly obstacles right up to the end, nevertheless we persisted with their hard working guidance. Today, the house is a home for a very happy family!"- Andrea H.

"As first time home buyers, working with Pete and his team was the best choice we could have made. From the very beginning, we felt comfortable and knew we were in good hands. The whole process has been easy and painless. I would recommend this team to anyone who has the opportunity to work with them! A huge thanks to the whole Waterkotte Group!" - Julie O.

"We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Pete and Joelle. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Pete, but we knew instantly that he was the one for us. He is honest and hands-on, and he really helped to take the pressure off of us. We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one". Pete walked us through every step of the negotiations. I’ll always recommend Pete and Joelle." - Kenny S.

★★★★★
"Working with Peter and Joelle was a true pleasure. They are both very knowledgeable realtors. Even though it’s a tough time find and purchase a suitable home, they were able to help make this process as painless as possible. They always have the buyers best interests in mind and want everyone to be happy with the decision they come to. My wife and I closed two days ago with the Waterkotte Group’s assistance and couldn’t be more excited for this next stage of our family’s lives." - Dave G.
