Testimonial

We had an awesome experience when we worked with Janean when we bought our first home in 2018. It was our great experience that first time around that made us ask her to help up sell our home five years later. Selling a house when you live out of state is a stressful experience. Janean did such a wonderful job navigating the process with us. The house sold so quickly and thanks to her teams thoughtful approach - had multiple offers to consider. She did such a great job advocating for our needs as her clients. Would highly recommend anyone work with Janean as either a buyer or seller. If you do - you're going to be in kind and capable hands.

Testimonial

I thought it was wonderful working with Janean. She was patient with me, she was incredibly responsive to inquiries and responded promptly, she identified my needs and was able to help through any questions or concerns that I had. When I was anxious about hearing back from the seller's on the initial offer, Janean helped calm my nerves. Janean's work on my behalf, her kindness, patience and clear excitement for me when I got my dream house made this house buying experience amazing. Buying a house can be stressful but Janean really helped alleviate stress through her professionalism, knowledge of the field and her entire demeanor throughout the process.

Testimonial

It was great working with Shane again! He knows the market well and appreciate all he does for the community.

Testimonial

I had a very pleasant and positive home buying experience with Gayle Chapel and the Century 21 Krogman & Co.  The staff at Century 21 were extremely friendly and run a tight ship.  I just moved to Brookings from Oregon and Gayle was very knowledgeable about the housing market in this area and a great listener, which made her easy to work with and tuned into what I was looking to buy.  She tailored my search criteria  in their Flexmls system and got me signed up, which ultimately led me to find and purchase the perfect home.  I would definitely recommend Gayle Chapel to anyone looking to buy their next home. Thank You, Gayle, and keep up the good work!

Testimonial

We contacted Shane a few years ago just thinking about buying a house. Shane contacted us every year checking on our progress and seeing if he could help. He was never pushy, always very nice, and ready to help. He was always very helpful. When we reached the point to buy Shane lined up houses in our price range and every house was what we asked for. Shane was very open and honest about any question we had. He made our house hunting process fun and comfortable. We appreciate all Shane did for us and are very happy in our new home! Thank you Shane!!!

Savannah was excellent through the entire home buying process. She has a great personality and was easy to work with. Her main focus was fitting my needs in a home and was never too pushy about anything; I never felt uncomfortable. Savannah's communication is top notch and she always kept me up to date with every detail. Despite having a long, delayed closing process due to circumstances related to the weather, she worked hard to keep things going. I HIGHLY recommend Savannah Schumacher for your home buying needs!

Testimonial

Shane Andersen was a pleasure to work with. He utilizes technology and social media actively in his approach when listing homes or when assisting buyers, which aids greatly in quick communication and traffic for his properties. Shane was available for my wife and me whenever we needed him, whether that was mornings, lunch meetings, or evening appointments. He is very active in the community of Brookings and takes a vested interest in many aspects throughout town. Also, his multiple connections with people in the housing industry have been very helpful for us since the purchase of our home! We would recommend Shane to anyone buying or selling a home in the Brookings area! Eric, Brookings SD 

Testimonial

From start to finish, Shane took the time to answer our questions and find any information we needed to make our home-buying experience ideal. As first-time home buyers, a lot of the details were confusing, but he walked us through each issue we had in a professional manner. We were very impressed with the level of commitment he showed in helping us find and purchase our first home, and we will be certain to recommend him to all of our friends and family looking to buy or sell!

Gayle is the consummate professional. Her knowledge and experience in this industry serve her, and her clients, well. We were apprehensive going into this process. But Gayle calmed our nerves and was with us every step of the way. We had a wonderful experience!

 

Testimonial

Janean made this a very enjoyable experience. It took quite awhile to sell, but I did not see this as a problem any realtor could have solved any faster. Janean was extremely thorough, and communicated with me by both e-mail and phone in a very prompt manner. I had to call her once or twice on weekends, and if not available, got back to me before the end of the weekend. She was very respectful to all parties involved. I would recommend Janean and Century 21 to anyone looking to either buy or sell property.

Testimonial

Shane was great when helping me purchase my new home. His knowledge of what would benefit me when I was looking at homes was phenomenal.

Shane was great to work with. He genuinely cared about what we were looking for and neeeding in a home. He always checked in on how we were doing with the whole process and made sure to let us know he was always available to answer any questions we may of had. Very knowledable about everything and pointed out and made observations that we would not have thought of. If he didn’t have an answer right away about something, he was very quick about finding it out and getting back to us. We will use Shane every time in the future for our real estate needs. Thank you Shane!!

he,always remaimed calm. I would recommend him to a friend,

Testimonial

We met several brokers/agents during our 12 years in Brookings. Gayle Chapel ranked high among our early options based on interactions in various social and professional settings during those 12 years. We appreciate the way she engages people and conducts herself in those environments. Gayle's approach fit us perfectly. She offers informed, reasoned counsel in the process and presents options, where applicable. She then leaves the decisions to the client. We appreciate that style. We reached an agreement with the buyers on price within two weeks, and Gayle worked very effectively with the buyers' agent on our behalf. We have mentioned several times how well she guided us through the process and helped us achieve our goals, as sellers, on price and timing. Bottom line ... Brookings can be a complicated housing market, and Gayle understands it well. We give Gayle Chapel our highest recommendation.

Testimonial

I personally feel like Janean is the best realtor in Brookings. The entire time we worked together - I felt like we were a team. I knew she was always going to go to bat for us. I was honestly a little sad when we got an accepted offer only because it was so great to work with Janean. I knew the moment I met her at an open house that she was the perfect realtor for us. Why should you hire her? She is going to keep it real with you and always has your best interest in mind. I don’t know that I would have actually bought a house if I had worked with a different realtor because I was so stressed about the process. Janean normalized that stress and empathized with me. That was huge and helped me get over my nerves about the process! It is also worth noting that the house I now live in and love was not on my radar. Janean is the reason we decided to give it a look. She had listened to us at the different places we looked at and was confident that this would be something that we liked. I was totally unconvinced until we actually took a look and realized she was right. I feel like nothing speaks higher than her ability to find the perfect house for us. The last thing I want to mention is that Janean helped us purchase our current house while on the road. She got us in within an hour of my request to see it a second time. Then she did the contract and even called me the next day to tell me that we were going to be home owners. She didn’t have to do any of that. She has two teammates who would have been more than happy to help us. I still cannot get over our luck in finding her. What are you waiting for? Call Janean and let her help you find your next home (or sell it).

Testimonial

My wife and I were completely new to the homebuying process. Gayle Chapel was completely transparent and patient throughout the whole process, and made sure we understood what was going on every step of the way. She always provided prompt responses, and treated every interaction with a passion to help, and a genuine kindness

Testimonial

Century 21 and Gayle Chapel are a great team! Gayle was excellent to work with, she did an excellent job with our property. Gayle is very professional and understands today's market Dick Peterson, Brookings, S.D.

Testimonial

Janean went above & beyond for us during the entire process. My husband & I lived in Texas but were going to retire & move to SD 11/1. She helped me with video showings prior to flying up the end of September. She meticulously scheduled showings ahead of my landing & within 24 hours of arriving, an offer was made & accepted before flying back to Texas!!! Janean was an absolute joy to work with. Her diligence & commitment were exemplary!!! There wasn't a single issue between 9/28 & our closing date due to her handling everything locally for us prior to the move.

Testimonial

Shane is very knowledgeable about mobile homes and knows these are real homes to customers. He cares about both parties and is careful to keep everyone informed on what's going on every step of the process. He is very involved in the community and therefore knows when and what potential clients are looking for! Everyone knows Shane and he is very approachable. Our house wasn't big money but it did not affect how he treated us. Great working with him!!

Shane was excellent in every regard. He made a potentially difficult and stressful transaction very easy for us. Without question, we would use his services again. 

Testimonial

Shane Andersen took the time to answer all of our questions and went above and beyond to show us what he could do to help us sell our house. Shane also explained his experience and how well he knew the market in the area. My husband and I were both very impressed with Shane and there was no question which realtor we wanted to represent us in the selling of our house.

 

Testimonial

We know Shane personally and based on his character, we knew we wanted to work with him when we first considered putting our home on the market. If I could rate Patience higher than Excellent I would. We actually spoke with Shane a couple of years before we put our home on the market. He was very patient and courtesy of our timeline as we searched for a new property in another state. After we decided to put the home on the market, we threw him a twist of moving with a relocation company, and he remained professional and patient as we worked through the obstacles associated with that process. We are extremely grateful to Shane for his sticktoitiveness and patience throughout our whole process. 

Testimonial

We were absolutely happy working with Shane.  He always followed up on any question we had.  He was not intrusive but very respectful to us with every step of the process in our purchase of our home. We would recommend him as one of the very top realtors we have dealt with in our purchases of our homes in several different states through the years. 

Testimonial

Gayle provided fast efficient service allowing us to sell our house within two day.

It was a pleasure to work with Savannah in my home search! She is the complete package. I would definitely recommend Savannah to anyone I know who is in the market for a new home.

It was a real pleasure to work with her! Help and courteous! 100% satisfied! Thank you Savannah for making a somewhat daunting task enjoyable. You are a true Rockstar in my eyes! -

Gayle really loves what she does, and you can tell she puts her heart into it. She gets to know the buyers and understands their wants. She is very detailed, and observant when it comes to looking at homes. She knows the areas, the dos and don’ts. I would recommend her to anyone.

Testimonial

Shane and his team are exceptional to work with. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. He helped me buy a home when I first moved to the area and when my needs changed he helped me sell that home and buy a new one closer to family.

Shane is also active in the communities he serves. He provides several family fun events each year for his current and previous clients and he goes above and beyond in everything he does.

Shane, Gayle and their entire team are amazing!!

Testimonial

Shane Andersen was a wonderful realtor to work with. He was
an excellent communicator and was always in contact with us
throughout the sales experience. He put maximum effort into
keeping our home in the public eye and worked hard to show it
to as many people as he could. He was polite and considerate
of our family nature and totally willing to work with our schedules
for every step of the process, from taking pictures to signing the
closing documents.

We highly recommend Shane for your home buying and selling
needs!

Testimonial

Shane Andersen was attentive to our needs during the process of buying our new home. We have purchased and sold many homes and while our lender was not easy to deal with, Shane was! He even stopped by during our move-in process. This is the first time that I have ever seen a realtor after the closing, I was impressed!

Testimonial

Shane provides more of a friendship than a service. He guided me to the resources i needed and got me through an overwhelming time. Shane stayed calm through every step when i had so many questions and cushioned our transition. How many realtors do you know would drive with your pans in their back seat to deliver them to you because you forgot them? That's not a job, that's passion. 

Testimonial

Janean was SO helpful and worked extremely hard to ensure we found the perfect house. She made us feel so comfortable during the entire process! Janean is also wonderful to be around. She is always professional and also a lot of fun and we greatly enjoyed spending time with her! Janean is consistently easy to reach and responded to all of our questions and concerns almost immediately. We have loved this experience and would recommend Janean and Century 21 to anyone looking to buy or sell! 

Testimonial

I went to Shane Andersen during the Christmas holiday with an urgent option to sell my home. I wasn't expecting to be able to accomplish anything until after the new year. Boy, was I wrong! Shane Anderson was on top of it from the very start. Through the Christmas holiday, through the New Year holiday, on the weekend, and even when he was out of town. I was never alone or nervous during the process. Even when we thought we ran into a situation that could not have been remedied we were able to have it remedied quickly. The communication lines between Shane and the title company were always open and he was there for every step. I definitely could not ask for a better person to work with during the sale of my home. When I decide to purchase another home, Shane will be my number one. 

Testimonial

We were in very good hands with Century 21. Shane Andersen was very knowledgeable throughout every step of the process. He was very dedicated to helping us find what we were looking for and did everything he could to set us up for success.

Shane was exactly the guy I needed for finding my first house. He was very laid back and approachable. I was able to meet with him several times before even signing a contact. I had a ton of questions and he answered all of them in a very timely manner. Very easy to reach at any time of the day.  Highly recommended.

Testimonial

Gayle has always treated us with respect and genuinely cares about our needs. It is always about us and our family not her! She is a blessing to work with!

Testimonial

We loved how she took care of us even when my husband was being difficult at what he wanted. We really enjoyed her!

Testimonial

Shane was great to work with! In the midst of a stressful and fast-moving market, he was calm and knowledgeable. He was willing to go above and beyond to help with the sale of our home and purchase of a new home. Everything was fast-paced, but we felt that he gave us his full attention and made sure the process was smooth. He was flexible with our schedule and always responded very quickly to our many questions. Our experience was top-notch!

Testimonial

My broker was knowledgeable and considerate. He was especially diligent when needed

Shane was amazing - especially considering our special circumstances (short time line to start a new job and need to sell before buying another house) and unexpected challenges (first buyers loss of finances a week before closing on sale and buying of new house). Shane was considerate, dillegent, and resourceful

Canter say enough good things about Shane. I recommend him to everyone

I didn't deal with anyone else but Shane obviously had excellent support.

Testimonial

Shane Andersen is FANTASTIC to work with. His guidance throughout the home buying and selling process was wonderful. He was always ready to accommodate our requests for showings and we appreciated his patience with us as we searched for the perfect home. Once we found our dream home, Shane helped us to quickly structure a winning offer and prepare our current home for the market. His unique marketing strategies, including 3D tours and utilization of social media, helped set our home apart from the competition. Shane Andersen sets the bar for real estate professionals in the area. His professionalism, promptness, and knowledge of the community and surrounding areas is top-notch.

the right investment property. He never made us feel like we were wasting his time. He always was friendly
and had a smile. Shane made the process of purchasing this property so easy. He worked around our busy
schedules and was fun to work with. Thanks Shane!

Testimonial

Best realtor experience I could have ever hooped for being a first time home buyer. If we ever decide to sell our home and look for a new one we will for sure be back for Janean. Janean drove all over and showed us as many houses as possible that we were interested in and was very timely on responses and helpful in making decisions and finding stuff we were interested in. Janean was always super friendly and willing to work with our rather difficult schedule.

Testimonial

We are friends, which is why we chose her as our realtor. During the negotiation phase of the process we were so grateful of her local knowledge and diligence in securing the sale and purchase. We knew that throughout process if we had any questions or concerns she would figure it out and communicate with us right away. She worked with our schedule to accommodate meetings and phone calls. Again, this was our best realtor experience. We worked with Shane too and was impressed as well!

Testimonial

My wife and I were completely new to the homebuying process. Gayle Chapel was completely transparent and patient throughout the whole process, and made sure we understood what was going on every step of the way. She always provided prompt responses, and treated every interaction with a passion to help, and a genuine kindness.

Testimonial

We used Century 21 to purchase our house when we got to Brookings and had a great experience. I have known Shane Andersen for years, so it was an easy choice to use him, and I am glad I did. Shane had the right marketing plan and helped us set the right price for our house because even during the slow season for real estate, we got the offer on the house a week and a half after putting it on the market. And he helped us resolve an issue found in our house with the best possible outcome. The house closed on schedule and everything went according to plan. I would highly recommend using Shane Andersen and the team at Century 21 when buying or selling a home in Brookings!

Testimonial

Janean was great every step of the way. As a young couple purchasing our first home, she quickly and accurately answered our numerous questions! She stayed within our budget and helped us find our perfect first home. We honestly don't have a bad thing to say, and we can't think of anything that would have made this experience better.

Testimonial

Shane is a full time realtor. He is accessible. We signed papers at 9:30 on a Friday night because it was convenient for us and we don't live in Brookings . The electronic document and signature set up is wonderful!!!!

Testimonial

Gayle Chapel knows the area well and does an excellent job of marketing the strong points of the property.  She provided the best guidance to me through the various stages of the process.

Testimonial

Shane always either answered our questions or found out for us if he didn't know and let us know right away. He also always offered to help contact people for us and set things up for us. We were wondering if the furnace could be moved in our house and he offered to and called someone to come to the house and see if it could be moved even though it wasn't something that would have changed our mind about getting the house. 

Testimonial

Savannah had great communication with us during and after the purchase.

Testimonial

We talked with Shane Andersen in early 2017 about a house that was listed for sale. The house was sold fast, and we missed out. We were impressed with Shane at that time. Eventually, we purchased and installed a new mobile home in Brookings during 2017. When it came time to sell the mobile home, we called Shane and he helped us sell it last month in the slow season of winter. We were out of state owners with a house for sale, and Shane Andersen helped us immensely while we were out of the state. 

Testimonial

Our family all were on board having Shane and his team handle our sale. We had confidence in them. Shane was great in keeping in touch with us and taking charge of any problems that arose during sale process. I would highly recommend them to anyone I talk to. He took care of things I am not sure all brokers do. Accolades to him. We wanted our house sold before winter and because of our age we were thrilled with his expertise. Could not be improved All excellent and expedient. Shane took care of us and we are so grateful.

Testimonial

Shane was instrumental in the sale of real estate in very difficult market. Excellent results!

Testimonial

I know Gayle on a personal level and knew of her reputation as a very good and effective realtor. When decided to sell my mother's house in Brookings, I went directly to Gayle and did not consider using anyone else. Gayle was very professional, and the entire sale process was effective and timely. House sold within a week and we got what the family felt was a the right sale price. Gayle did a very good job in listing and getting other realtors to know about and show the house. She was also helpful in giving advice on what should be done to get the house ready for showing. I really like the app that was used to notify me of when the house was being shown and the feedback I received after the showing. That was very helpful in keeping me informed of how many times the house was shown and the comments on the house. Gayle did a very good job in selling our mother's house. I would highly recommend her to other people that are looking at selling or buying a house. I would use her again. My experience with Gayle during the sale of the house meet my expectations. I do not feel like anything was not done right and that I would have done something differently.

I found Janean's ability and handling of all aspects of my home purchase to be exceptional and she made this purchase as easy and wonderful by the many extra things she did. She contacted me with updates when needed and always let me know when there was a property available that fit my needs and wants. The condo I purchased was exactly what I needed and fits my needs perfectly. She went above and beyond her responsibilities to me and all those connected with this purchase.

Any questions or issues that I had, Gayle helped with right away. I always knew what was going on and where we were in the process.

I chose the Brookings Home Team for their knowledge, experience, attention to detail and the exposure I knew they would provide for the sale of my home.

"I put my house on the market because I have recently moved to give my mom extra support. While I've loved living in my home, I've moved into the next season of life. This was a big decision for me, and Gayle Chapel and her team served me well with every detail falling into place in a timely way. I felt very comfortable with Gayle Chapel and would highly recommend her to others."

Testimonial

C21 has an excellent team supporting Gayle. Gayle and team clearly explained the process so we understood the timeline and expectations. She was spot on with the evaluation of our house and the market demand. We were unsure if it was a good time to sell our home. Turned out to be a great time!!! As predicted by Gayle and team. Thank you again!!!

Testimonial

We met Janean at an open house where we had stopped by. She asked if we were working with any realtors and we said not really. She took our information and we explained the items that we were looking for in a dream home. A few weeks later she emailed us about a house that would soon hit the market, and explained it had many of the things we were looking for and in our price range. We set up an early showing and it was Absolutely the perfect house. Janean always handled everything very professionally while still making you feel that she was completely on your side. As first time home owners she was there for every panicked moment, every late night call and random questions on the middle of a Saturday. She made that process easy for us even though we had no idea what we were doing. She was fantastic, I would recommend her to anyone! She found us our dream home and that's not something everyone can do , I will forever be grateful to her. It was fantastic! I couldn't believe how much Janean remembered from our 5 minute conversation about what we were looking for in a house, and somehow found us the perfect home. She went out of her way to reach out to us about this property and I so thankful or we probably wouldn't be home owners right now.

We had worked with Gayle Chapel to purchase our home twelve years ago and it was a very good

experience. We fully intended to utilize her services for any future home purchases or sales. We loved the

concept of the 'Brookings Home Team'. It worked very well for us in that it provided a seamless and swift sale

of our home. Gayle is the best!

Testimonial

As first-time home buyers with little knowledge and intimidated by the current seller's market, we did the right choice in selecting Gayle Chapel to represent us. We were impressed by her credentials found online and we made an appointment. As soon as we met Gayle in person, we realized that she was the perfect person to accompany us throughout our journey. Gayle never pressured us to buy for the sake of a quick commission: she took us to several tours, pointed out anything she noticed to make our choice an authentic process (things we were looking for, things that were desirable to have, and things to take into account if buying), worked hard to find answers to our questions. We learned a lot and we ended up getting the right house at the right time and at the right price! Gayle Chapel is as much a professional and dedicated realtor as she is an exquisite human being. Thanks, Gayle for making homebuying a wonderful experience!

Janean Caugherty was an excellent source for buying this house. Very professional and friendly at all times.

Testimonial

Shane understood our needs and wants, then delivered in finding the right property for us. His knowledge of the Brookings community and real estate market was invaluable.

We were always warmly welcomed at the office - across the board. Everyone made us feel comfortable.

As first time buyers, we really appreciated his knowledge of the process and honestly.

Janean is exceptionally patient and helpful. What we like her the most is her connection and teaming with lenders, insurance agents and other relevant locales that makes the whole process goes very smoothly.

Testimonial

We arrived at an open house "just looking" at a house and Shane was the broker there and he allowed us the freedom to look without any pressure but was there when the question we had started, he was there to the very end helping us complete the purchase of our new home from across the state. Honestly Shane made the whole experience so easy for us!!! Now we get to enjoy the grandbaby a lot more not being 400 miles away!!!!!

Testimonial

Thanks Shane. I will defiantly recommend you to friends and family.

The office personal and agents were all very home friendly.

Testimonial

Janean was so excellent in taking care of me and my needs/concerns throughout the process. The process did get a bit rough but not due to Century 21 or Janean. She helped keep me calm and kept me informed as a first-time home buyer. I absolutely would recommend her! I do not have experience with other brokers in the company, but if I was treated the way Janean treated me by another broker, I don't think anyone can beat the company as a whole!

Testimonial

Gayle was excellent to to work with.She knew what our specific needs were and kept us appraised of any properties that became available.  We were pleased with the timely and courteous information Gayle provided to us.   We would definitely contact Gayle for any future housing needs.

Testimonial

I would recommend Shane Andersen to anyone searching for a house in the Brookings area (and I will). He went above and beyond our expectations for a realtor and helped make our first time buying a house a great experience. He was considerate, flexible, and above all else easy to understand and taught us about the home buying experience rather than just leaving us to figure it out on our own. 5 out of 5 stars!

Testimonial

Shane Andersen was phenomenal to deal with. He works hard and put us at ease throughout the whole process. He is dedicated too. I am not sure any other realtor would have dug through 2 feet of snow to put up the for sale sign, but he did! Thank you so much Shane for making one of the most stressful times in our life, a little easier with your help! 

Testimonial

Having worked with Shane with the purchase of our previous home we knew the process went very well. We again had a very satisfying experience. 

Testimonial

It's been 20 years since we've bought a house, so we were a little rusty on the process of buying. We were so lucky to be referred to Gayle. She was extremely helpful with finding the right property and also excellent at focusing on our particular needs. We were looking to find a property in Brookings while still living in Texas, so that presented unique challenges to seeing properties in a timely fashion , Gayle worked with us to make sure all of our questions were answered and we felt that we had good knowledge of each property we viewed. Her knowledge about the area really helped with our search. We will definitely seek her help again should we decide to buy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their home search.

Testimonial

Shane did an amazing job of providing us with everything we needed for our house search. Given the market, we wanted someone who knew what it would take for us to get into our home.

 

Working with Shane was one of the easiest and best thing we did in this process. We would recommend working with Shane to anyone. The Brookings home team is a great group and does things the right way to provide people with the best information to make a decision.

I felt he was very knowledgeable and had excellent marketing skills. Thank you Shane!

Testimonial

Gayle Chapel and the home team made the selling of our beloved home almost painless!

We felt well represented with advertising on social media and offline as well. The virtual walk-through feature is great! We received solid advice about pricing the property, and sold above our asking price.  We liked that time was allowed for several showings and an open house. We also liked seeing the feedback from buyers' agents after each showing. The entire process and transaction went smoothly, even though we were already several states away.  We loved the extras, like being insured before the sale and having a cleaning service provided.

Gayle went the extra mile and checked out the home when a question came up about the operation of the gas stove and fireplace.

She handled our questions and those of prospective buyers thoroughly.

The home team worked together to give us an excellent experience.

Impressed by the marketing plan, the online presence, and the reputation of the home team. Liked that community service is a part of their business model.

Top notch service!

Testimonial

Shane always made sure all questions were answered and was willing to check on whatever we wanted to know.

Testimonial

Gayle came highly recommended. Gayle had several offers for us to consider in a short time period. We were out of the country so the sale took a while to close. I don’t recall all of the ways Gayle promoted the house, but she quickly had many showings and therefore several bonifide offers. Gayle has to deal with us being two time zones away, selling a rental property managed by a third party. We’d never sold a house before with a realtor so it was an entirely educational and painless process. When we met Gayle, we had high expectations and she never, ever disappointed us. Gayle was a problem solver as we met obstacles to the sale. She educated us on the process. She walked us through issues as the arised. She was understanding of our situation, out of town landlords of an empty house. She was proficient. We look forward to meeting her in person when we get to SD this summer, depending on Covid-19. Gayle is highly professional and honest, two traits that cannot be taught. We would be very happy to have her sell a home for us again. Elaine and Toby Kaufman. Los Angeles

Testimonial

Shane Andersen was great to work with. He sat down with us and listened to our needs and concerns and gave us helpful advice. He seemed genuinely interested in helping us not just to benefit himself but to assist us with our needs. We were selling at a difficult time of year. With Christmas and New Year's quickly approaching Shane advised us to wait to list our condo until after the holidays which we felt was wise so we waited those two weeks to list it. However, we got hit with a blizzard during our open house held shortly after we listed our home. But Shane remained encouraging and optimistic and communicated well throughout.

Once he had an offer in hand he worked diligently with us and the buyer to "seal the deal" once again understanding not only the timing commitment we had on our end but also the financial expectations. We no longer live in the area but if we still lived there and had a home to sell, we would consider asking Shane to assist us again.

Testimonial

We weren’t familiar with any agents in town and Gayle Chapel was recommended to us by two different friends. We’re very glad we chose her to help us. Gayle is very friendly and easy to work with. She helped us think through each property to determine if it would fit with what we were looking for. Her knowledge and experience make her a great choice. Scott & Julie Christie, Harrisburg

Testimonial

Janean Caugherty was a real asset as I went through the looking and buying process. She was knowledge of the area, Brookings services, and home repairs in general. As a first time home buyer this was priceless and helped me feel knowledgeable and comfortable with the choices I made. She was very practical and honest in her knowledge and suggestions. When there was a negative aspect to a home, Janean was upfront about the challenges these could present as well as solutions to the problem. Can't say enough how helpful her general knowledge and insight was! 

Testimonial

Janean Caugherty did an awesome job helping us find and purchase a property. She was patient, understanding, and if she didn't know an answer to our questions she knew who to contact that could. I would highly encourage my friends and family to work with her and the Associates at Century 21. 

Testimonial

I would just like to put my input in on this recent selling of our son, Thomas Skelton's home.  It went up for sale in July and when I let Shane know of the true situation that had occurred to Thomas he took the selling of his home with the most sincere outlook for Thomas.  You see our son had nothing to bring to the table cash wise or assets and we his parents are financially taking care of all of his financial needs. We basically became practically broke after clearing our savings and checking and any other ways to get money without refinancing our home.  Bankruptcy or foreclosure was the only option that we had to take care of his home.  Shane was not willing to let that happen to Thomas and did everything he could to sell the home.  Not only did Shane and the buyer's broker sacrifice so much to sell the home, Shane actually got Thomas a profit!!  Where Shane's heart is,  still brings tears to my eyes today that there is actually such a caring realtor that put his client's needs first.  Please don't think I'm weird but if I ever get out to South Dakota again your office is the first place I would like to stop so that I could give these to brokers the biggest hugs ever!!  I truly believe that God works miracles every day and when speaking with Shane he is definitely one of them!  

Testimonial
