When Opportunity Knocks, are you answering?

"This was my first time working with Erica on a purchase transaction and it’s been a pleasure. She is a strong communicator and negotiator who strives for 100% client satisfaction. I hope to work with her again very soon!"

"I really enjoyed working with you (Charlynn) on our closing with the client. You (Charlynn) and Beth did everything necessary to make it happen on the date we originally planned, which can be unusual for more complex transactions. Just wanted you to know how pleased I was with the closing."

"Erica and Elizabeth of the Straatmann Group are amazing professionals. We worked closely together over the past few months assisting a mutual client with a challenging move and sell. Erica meticulously searched for the right fit for her client - proving that her focus is always on meeting the need of her clients. Ultimately, we were the perfect match and were able to successfully navigate the client to a successful sell while working together as a team to maintain client confidence. We would not hesitate to send our referrals to such a caring and knowledgeable group of people.

"After unsuccessfully trying to sell our home back in 2022 with another company, Jim and Charlynn visited us and told us that they could and would sell our home. We loved the way that they would aggressively check with us knowing that we were hesitant on trying to sell again. They were persistent and told us that their specialty was selling “unsold homes”, after realizing how much of a “go-getter” they were we knew they were the right agents to re-list our home. We appreciate the professionalism with which they handled every step of the process. It really made this time around much easier. In fact, our home set a new record of the highest sell price in the neighborhood.

We especially loved the way that we felt heard. They really always made sure we all were on the same page. They are very intuitive and it was as almost they could read our minds as far as the details of our home and what we thought made it special, what we wanted and needed to do, and the move itself

Their energy and personal care is amazing! The entire time we knew they were working for US, not themselves. We have and will continue personally recommending them and their team to friends, family and our former neighbors. If you’re considering buying, selling or both please consider them! If not, please pass their info to someone you know that is!

"Charlynn, Jim, and team are truly second to none. The Straatmann Group guided me and my wife through finding and purchasing our first home, and we could not be happier with the experience from day one. We never felt like “just another client,” as the team constantly provided personalized care, and were extremely patient as we changed some search parameters and requirements throughout the process. They have amazing industry knowledge and outstanding work ethic, as well as the underrated ability to simply get things done. The Straatmann Group is VERY highly recommended, and we will absolutely be repeat clients in the future!

"Well…what can I say about The Straatmann Group! We met this group last year during the Parade of Homes as we were visiting one of the builders in the area. We actually stumbled upon them as they were walking out and Charlynn introduced herself along with her husband Jim. Some time passed after we first met them, but we thought of them when we decided to actively pursue the process of buying a home. From the moment we reached out to them, they worked as a team and never stopped working for us! We met with them and they allowed us to tell them what we were looking for, gave us realistic expectations, and truly cared about our needs and wants and working as hard as they possibly could for us. They also connected us to an awesome Mortgage Lender and once we did the application, it was like they tag-teamed for us and worked to get us the best loan and best home! We had a lot of ups and downs during the process, the market wasn’t really fair to us, but The Straatmann Group never ceased to reassure us that they would find us the perfect home! Because of the market, we also had a lot of ups and downs with available properties and possible offers but I remember Charlynn specifically giving me a pep talk (as I cried on her shoulder) and telling me “We will get through this, don’t you worry!” And that we did! It was a point in our process where my husband and I were at our wits end and were ready to give up. We told The Straatmann Group that we wanted to start from scratch and come up with another game plan. But did they stop working?? NOOO!! We actually received a call from them TWO days later letting us know that they were up late, keeping tabs on homes and one popped up that they felt was going to be a great fit for us. So they got up the next day and went to see the property for us, and told us to come by to check it out. The VERY next day, we put in an offer! And the rest is history! Throughout the entire process, The Straatmann Group not only were professional, efficient, realistic, and helpful, but they were caring, thoughtful, understanding, and patient with us. They also taught us a lot of things that we would have never received from the average realtor. I am SO grateful that we connected with them! We call Charlynn and Jim our Realtor Parents because they were very serious about our home-buying process and what we should do, but also caring and loving towards us, and we couldn’t ask for anything more! We told them that they are STUCK with us for life, so whenever we are ready to purchase another home, sell our home, or just have a cookout, we will always call them for it all! Thank you, guys, for being such great realtors, but most of all, being great friends!! Thank you so much for all that you have done for us and…for who you are!! We could NOT have done this without you!

"The Straatmann Group did a fantastic job. Over-the-top professionalism and we were very pleased with how they were so attentive and walked us through everything."

"Gave up after 6 months, getting left and right phone calls from different agents who wanted to put the house back on the market but along came a nice hand written card from Jim and Charlynn. Wasn’t sure if I should respond to the card because I had a friend in mind to use. Their handwritten card caught my attention so I decided to just thank them for taking the time to write and send the nice card. Next thing you know, the next day they came knocking at my door to introduce themselves. Met with them and felt the connection compared to the previous agents. Jim and Charlynn kept us informed throughout the process. They made it seamless! House sold within a month! Highly recommend!! Thank you again, Jim and Charlynn. Great job well Done!!"

"After a very unhappy experience with a realtor in trying to sell my home, I partnered with Jim and Charlynn Straatmann to sell my property. Each of these individuals greatly impressed me with their professionalism and personal and caring attention. No detail in advertising my home and aggressively following up with potential buyers was spared. No one could have done more to market my home and to walk me through the process. Jim and Charlynn contacted me every few days and were immediately available when I called or texted. I highly recommend the Straatmann Group to anyone wishing to sell their home. Jim and Charlynn made the sale of my home conclude successfully, and they have been a blessing to me.

"The Straatmann group made this transaction smooth and seamless. From the time that we listed the house for sale, they set a timeline of things to be done for each day and the house sold faster than any house I have ever owned. Their level of professionalism stands out above the crowd. We highly recommend the Straatmann Group if you are looking to buy or sell a home"

"WOW! Charlynn & Jim are the best! They brought our house to contract in 33 days. They are professional, knowledgeable, state-of-the-art realtors with true “Southern Charm.” Additionally, they were there to answer every question, provided weekly update reports, provided moral support on all levels, and helpful input for all types of service vendors. Their planning and attention to every detail led to the smoothest closing we’ve ever experienced. We would definitely use them again…would and have recommended them to other buyers and sellers."

"Our family wants to extend our appreciation to both of you. You guys were great throughout our process and made it as seamless as can be. We wanted a Realtor that was able to stay on top of things and we were not disappointed at all. We loved how you were able to track the price range that buyers were targeting to help us realize the best price point possible to move our home, so it didn’t sit on the market. You compliment each other as a Team effort and your hearts are what make your dedication even more appreciated. Thank you both again and of course, if I hear of anyone needing your services I will surely mention your names.

"They treated my home like it was theirs. There was more to preparing a home for sale than I knew, but they made the process so easy. They were always right there and I had no worries because they helped me every step of the way. From making sure that the house was in top shape, to reviewing the many offers we had. What I loved the most was, they put me first, it was not all about hurrying up let’s sell the home, it was about making sure it was done right. They really take pride in their name and in their work. They pitch in and help do the things they know will get your home sold and make sure you get the most for your home. They take the time to make sure you are knowledgeable in every step and they will not do anything without sitting you down and giving you the pros and the cons so you can make an informed decision. I am a single female so everything that needed to be done was up to me, and with my heavy work schedule, I couldn’t do it all. Charlynn and Jim had the connections and resources to help when I needed it. Above all, when I say Honest and Sincere I mean it, they are. Because they make sure that everything is done right and in order. I want to say thank you to Jim and Charlynn! If you are looking for True Professionals and not just someone looking for a paycheck, This Is Your Team."

"We had taken a chance on Jim and Charlynn Straatmann to list our home after they knocked on our door and introduced themselves as realtors with Keller Williams. To make a long story short, signing with Jim and Charlynn was the best decision we could have made choosing a Realtor. We made an appointment to sit down with them one night and after hearing how they did things compared to other realtors we knew we had to list with them. After the meeting a few days later our pictures of the home were taken and the house was measured. The house was then listed, and the sign was in the front yard not even 24hrs later we had a showing and they contacted us that they needed to come over and talk about something with us. When we met they wanted to sit down and talk about an offer that was just made on our home. Not less than 48hrs on the market we had a contract on our home. Thanks to the chance we took on Jim and Charlynn, The Straatmann Group at Keller Williams, our home is now SOLD.
