Tom Bauscher, Freeport, Il
The sale of my home went seamlessly well. Curt kept me updated on all matters with the sale.
He even did some of the work that the inspector required to be done. Thank you Curt for your being a key factor in selling my home so quickly.

Paul Shippy, Pecatonica, IL
Curt did an excellent job with the entire process. He gave us tips to help get the property ready and helped us to understand what to expect during the process from pre-list to showings to offers and the inspection period. He helped to manage our expectations and prepared us to hurdles that may come up. Curt did an excellent job of communicating every step of the way.

Curt Knapp was a great agent to work with for the sale of our house. He took the time and made suggestions as to what we needed to do to get the best possible sale price. Also important to me was he is a good Christian man, and I felt he was very honest and could be trusted. My sister purchased a home via Curt and she was very satisfied with him as well. I would recommend Curt to anyone looking to sell OR purchase a home.-

Seth Jensen Nicole Spahn Roscoe, IL
Curt Knapp is our realtor for life! He guided us through the purchase of our new home in an extremely difficult market and helped us find the home of our dreams. We are repeat customers as he also helped sell my home in the past. Curt's honesty and integrity helped us feel confident in making the best decision for our family. Curt was patient and deticated to helping us find the home that was right for us. We had many obstacles to overcome with it being a sellers market, issues with inspections, attorneys, and corporate sellers. He always kept us in the loop with new listings and important information even if it were after hours or he was on vacation. Curt has continued to be a great source of knowledge and information whether that be a phone call, newsletter, or a Christmas card even after closing. We truly have felt blessed to have his knowledge and guidance throughout the process.
