Kirsten guided us through every step of the home-buying process with remarkable patience and a positive attitude. Her communication skills are outstanding; she always kept us informed and promptly addressed any questions or concerns that arose. What impressed us the most was Kirsten's proactive approach; she anticipated potential challenges and had solutions ready, making the entire process smooth. Her commitment to ensuring our satisfaction was evident, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and confident in our decisions. Thanks to Kirsten's expertise and dedication, we are now happily settled in our new home, and we owe a significant part of our joy to her.

"Recently my wife and I had the wonderful opportunity and experience working with Kirsten Oehl on the purchase of a home in the Oneonta, NY area. From the initial showing all the way through to closing, and then beyond, Kirsten was truly outstanding. She is the epitome of being client focused and she goes above and beyond in every step of the buying process. Kirsten was always quick to answer all our questions, she provided us with valuable information, perspective and guidance throughout the overall process, including recommendations for a local lender (that was also truly outstanding). At all times we felt that Kirsten had our best interest in mind and it really showed, as our buying process was efficient, on budget and always on schedule. Post closing, Kirsten has provided us with valuable information on the area, the house and her continued support as we settled in was truly remarkable. We highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction, you will not regret it. Thank you for everything Kirsten!"

"Rebecca helped us sell our first home/rental property. She was always available when we needed her and able to answer our questions. She was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and made it easy selling our home. I recommend doing business with Oneonta Realty!"

"I don't feel comfortable dealing with them"

"When searching for a realtor, I heard a few horror stories: One person was lied to, another felt ripped off, and a last’s experience was so bad that he got a refund. Therefore, I knew I had to do my due diligence. I checked websites and reviews for dozens of realtors and put together a top five list. Cricket Keto was first meeting I set up, and she made such a great impression that I decided to go with her without even meeting another realtor. From the start, I was impressed with how Cricket balanced a down-to-earth friendliness and an effective professionalism. Throughout the entire process, she communicated well. I could generally expect a response within a day and often within the hour. Even when she went “on vacation” (technically an emergency trip), she got back to me quickly and efficiently. As the home-buying experience went on, I was happy to discover that her experience, knowledge, and savvy was exceptional. She always provided excellent answers, and often with pin-point accuracy. For example, when negotiating for a six figure home, her estimation was only a few hundred dollars off of the appraisal, and she predicted exactly what the seller’s negotiating team would do down to the dollar. Cricket’s experience with and close attention to the local market is fantastic. She would easily inform us when a house that fit our criteria went on sale, why certain homes were a certain price, and the pros and cons for specific listings. Our home-buying experience was rocky, so Cricket had ample opportunity to demonstrate her skills. At least thrice, when I expressed a concern, Cricket had either already solved the problem or was very close to a resolution. At least once, when a surprise expense arose, she negotiated a reduced fee, and then arranged for someone else to pay for the service. In additional to her personal skills, Cricket’s professional references also served us well. When I vetted her referrals, they passed with flying colors, and our experience with them was wonderful. For example, Patti Canner, the lawyer Cricket referred us to, caught a small problem that everyone else had missed that could have cost us huge amounts of money and headaches further down the line. While I prefer to keep professional reviews professional, I would be remiss if I did not emphasize what a wonderful person Cricket is. While waiting for seller’s agents for a showing or everyone to gather for a contract signing, I had the opportunity to chat with Cricket and exchange stories. Thanks to our talks, I noticed that Cricket loves her work and her town and that she is legitimately grateful for her clients. In conclusion, Cricket Keto is a skilled and experienced realtor who works hard on her clients’ behalf. By working with her, we saved time and money, and we obtained a wonderful home that we hope to enjoy for many years to come."
