DC Rise Real Estate made purchasing my first home a very seamless process. Amanda Baker was especially great as she helped me navigate the entire home buying process and was always able to provide expert intuition as well as answer all of my questions. I would recommend DC Rise Real Estate and Amanda to anyone in our local area who is looking to buy or sell a home!

We were going thru heck with our old agents to sell our house, let them go, hired Courtney n wala 35 days later it was sold. She also found us the perfect house that fit all our needs to buy. Courtney is honest, communicates well, and keeps you in the loop throughout the entire process. I told her she has the midas touch as everything she touches turns to sold! Thanks miss lady

Amanda Barker is the most spectacular real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with! Within 30 days of meeting with Amanda, I sold my house and bought another -- and closed on both the same day. My house was listed on a Friday afternoon, there was an open house on Sunday, and we had three offers, over asking price, on Sunday night. Her approach to the business is calm, savvy, and intelligent. I wish I had another house to sell so I could do it all over again. The experience was THAT good!

Selling a home can be a stressful process, but DC Rise Real Estate made it smooth and seamless from start to finish! Danielle's expertise in marketing the home was truly impressive — professional photos, a strong online presence, and strategic pricing brought in great interest right away. Danielle had our best interests in mind at all times.

Throughout the entire process, the team was communicative and proactive. When we got to the closing stage, the Transaction Coordinator Jessi was absolutely fantastic—keeping everything on track, answering all of our questions promptly, and ensuring a hassle-free experience.

We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend DC Rise Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. They are professional, knowledgeable, and truly care about their clients. Thank you for making this such a positive experience!

DC Rise Real Estate - I wanted to take a moment to share how happy my siblings and I are that we chose to go with Joanne to sell our Dad's Lake Carroll home recently. While performing my due diligence in choosing our realtor, I met with 3 realtors including Joanne. After meeting with Joanne, there was no doubt that she was going to be my/our choice. (I met with Joanne last or there would not have been 3 meetings with realtors)

Joanne was GREAT! She was so nice and helpful. She went above and beyond what we could have possibly hoped for! She made a couple of trips out at my request to check on a couple of things during the week as I was not going to be able to get out until the weekend. Joanne and her husband cleared some debris off of the driveway that I was going to take care of once I got out there. We were having some trouble with the lawn mower and Joanne offered to have her husband trailer their mower to the house to take care of it. Fortunately we were able to get our mower going and didn't need to take Joanne up on her very generous offer. Knowing that our family had limited access to the house during the week, Joanne would tidy the house up prior to showings. What a blessing!

Our buyer had an FHA loan that required some additional work be done to the house prior to the sale. Peeling paint and some deck restoration. While my brother and I were out taking care of this, Joanne stopped by with some goodies. What a sweetheart! We were so surprised, but in retrospect, we shouldn't have been surprised at all. That kind gesture just seems to be typical Joanne!

In closing, we were truly blessed to have Joanne on our team for the sale of the Lake Carroll house. We had just lost our Dad and Joanne made a very difficult situation much easier to deal with. We have another family member that owns a home at Lake Carroll and is looking to sell in the near future. They have met with the same realtors as I/we did, including Joanne. I have told them that they need to go with Joanne based on our experience. So, fingers crossed...

Thank you to your entire team for your service during the sale process...

Danielle and the agency were incredible to work with, not only to see homes on the market - but rather to consult on all aspects of the Territory, Home Buying process, assets/amenities of the properties and overall services within the area. Danielle was constantly going the extra mile to research and hunt down answers/details in expedited fashion - as well as providing comps throughout all milestones of the engagement. Additionally, Danielle was exceptional in providing both recommendations and pre-market signals on new, up-and-coming properties to prepare for super early viewing and evaluation. I would recommend Danielle to anyone looking for real-estate, whether primary residence or rental/2nd home, to work with Danielle, she is fantastic!

Danielle approached us about selling our second home in The Galena Territory which we had no intention of doing. She persisted and demonstrated what the home was worth and what it could potentially sell for. Her Group did excellent marketing and home photography and the house ended up selling above listing price the day before it was to go on market! Her Group was very professional and maintained excellent communications with us throughout the process. We highly recommend Danielle and her wonderful staff of professionals.
