RE/MAX Traders Unlimited had been recommended to me by several people. I had heard amazing things and knew there was no one else I would rather work with to buy my first home!

The Kolbus Home Team and Alex Slane were excellent to work with from start to finish. Alex was extremely professional, knowledgable, and was always quick to respond at all hours of the day. She truly is a phenomenal communicator! Her attention to detail helped make my first time buying a home effortless. I wouldn't want to work with any other agent. Alex Slane and the Kolbus Home Team has my highest recommendation!

I really Enjoyed working with this broker. They made purchasing a home for the first time seem effortless. They knew exactly what they were doing and knew how to handle any situation.

Jeff Bailey, Peoria, a seller from Dunlap, IL
We recently sold our home with Wendy and the Kolbus Home Team. Our experience was fantastic from the initial meeting to the closing. Wendy and the Kolbus Home Team were extremely valuable in helping us prepare our home to go on the market. Wendy was always there with an immediate response to our questions. The local knowledge of the Kolbus Home Team was valuable in determining an appropriate price for our home and Wendy was fantastic in assisting us with the negotiation of multiple offers. Wendy and the Kolbus Home Team were so efficient that we had a signed contract within 48 hours of listing our home. The Team continued to be there for us throughout the inspection process and were instrumental in guiding us through the final stages leading to the closing. The Kolbus Home Team even took care of cancelling/transferring all of our utilities, etc from the home we sold to our new home. We are so grateful for Wendy and the Kolbus Home Team for making a normally stressful process one that was executed from start to finish beyond our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Wendy and the Team!

Offered valuable help in explaining entire process of selling our home. Superb job in handling negotiations.

Rachelle Cravens, Creve Couer, a buyer from Peoria, IL
Would not have gotten through this without Misty, she was amazing.

Carol Castagna, Peoria, IL, a buyer from Dunlap, IL
We had known Wendy Kolbus from our neighborhood and also my husband had worked for Traders Realty at one time.

Laura and Carter Chapman, a seller from Peoria, IL
Wendy has helped us in the past on finding homes for us. We ultimately purchased our home without realtors and went through real estate attorneys as that is what the seller wanted to do and the house was bought from a family friend who approached us. As a result of our relationship with Wendy, we chose her to help us sell our house and she was wonderful. We will use her again if we ever look to purchase another property.

I would mark excellent on any and all values and attributes of Wendy. She is wonderful in every aspect.

Kathy Rooney Peoria to Texas, a seller from Peoria, IL

Mindy Bachmann , a seller from Peoria, IL

Wendy and her team are professional and knowledgeable! We highly recommend them!

Theresa Hardesty, Peoria IL, a seller from Peoria, IL
My experience with Wendy Kolbus and the Kolbus Home Team team was 100% positive. Wendy is professional and knowledgeable and I enjoyed working with her. She returns calls promptly and is generous with her time. My house sold in a mere 5 days for just slightly under the list price. I highly recommend her.

Simone L. Peoria, a seller from Peoria, IL
We had a great professional experience from the Kolbus Home Team. The fact that we were out town during the necessary negotiations with the buyer and signing of the required paperwork did not lessen the experience. Misty really simplified and streamlined the process from beginning to end with her great communication skills and use of modern day technology we were able to sell our home! We highly recommend the Kolbus Home Team.

Jonah Moore, Peoria , a buyer from Dunlap, IL
Wendy Kolbus is excellent! I had specific criteria that is hard to find, and Wendy did not give up on helping me find the perfect home. Would not hesitate to recommend to family, friends and business associates.

Clare and Barbara Burke, Peoria, IL, a seller from Peoria, IL
We received several calls as late as 8 p.m. so we knew that she was working past regular working hours. Great commitment!
She was always upbeat in a really tough real estate market.

Shirlee Bowman, Peoria, a seller from Peoria, IL
I never could have made it through the experience of selling my home, if Misty Phelps had not been there to help me through the experience. We had some difficult situations arise during the process. Misty was always there to advise me.. She is professional, and she knows so much about what needs to be done. She went way out of her way to help me. She would come over to go over things with me. She always kept me informed of what was happening. I would recommend Misty & the Kolbus Team to anyone.

Ken Niekamp, a seller from Dunlap, IL
I heard from a friend that Wendy Kolbus was an excellent agent and that I should give her a chance to sell my property. Boy am I glad I chose her. She was so on top of things and went the extra mile as they say to please me and to sell my property. Highly recommend her and her team.

The sale of my property moved quickly as Wendy Kolbus was available at all times to answer prospective buyers questions. She personally spent time at my property while various contractors did needed repairs per buyers request. The Sales Contract Dates agenda that she created to make sure the buyers, lenders and I stayed on course to get to closing on schedule was impressive and much appreciated.

In all the categories listed above I wish there was another column that stated Super Duper Excellent as I would pick that in all areas to rate Wendy

Wendy did everything for me and was always available to me when needed

Very professional from start to finish. Excellent communications with me on everything.

Richard D Harvey, East Peoria, IL, a buyer from East Peoria, IL

The Kolbus Team is the best of the best in the Peoria area!

Ally Cole, a buyer from Peoria, IL
If there is a broker team you are looking for that will put you and your familys needs first, this if your team. They sold our house for us in 90 days and spent countless hours researching homes and showing us possibilities to meet all our specific needs. We could not have been happier with Wendy and Jeff. Professional, personable and hard working. If your on the market for excellent brokers, they will not disappoint!
