What My Clients Are Saying...

"Vicky is one of the most respectful people that I’ve met in a long time. She clearly loves her job because she clearly loves helping people. She wasn’t just My realtor But a mentor when I was going through some of the hardest times in my life. I had to buy a house because I was displaced from where I was living. She assisted me through the mortgage process and actually got help from some of the church members in our area for food and furniture for the new house. She checked in on my family when we were hopping camp ground to camp ground. I hope she gets a raise because I don’t hand out complements frivolously. I’m gonna invite her to the house warming party because she’s seems like part of the family if I’m being honest."

- Colleen C.

"Vicki was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about selling homes, pricing, staging and numerous outlets where she advertised through. Her friendly smile made my husband and I very comfortable in letting her sell our home. It was a wonderful experience. We got the price we asked and our home was only on the market for a few days when we received an offer! Highly recommend Vicki Shamel. I would use her again for a professional realtor in a heart beat!"

- Suze B.

"A wonderful, pleasant, and hard working person, who made the selling experience a breeze. Vicki provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the entire process in how to prep my home for sale, advertisement, showing opportunities, and general exposure to the buying world. A definite keeper that I'd use again and would recommend in a heartbeat. Thanks Vicki!!"
