Working with John was a great experience. Communication was excellent. He expedited all processes from initial walk through to closing. House was sold in two days with a higher offer than asking price. Would give John 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!!!

Thanks to John's availability around the clock and any day of the week, I was able to find my perfect house in a rough market. My wife and I were looking for a house as first-time home buyer. John was very honest in telling us when a house was not the one, and telling us to keep looking, as you can imagine as first-time home buyers we wanted to jump at every house with a fresh paint job. Luckily, we listened to John's advice every time and he was able to find us the perfect house we wanted. John did whatever it took to make sure he got us in the house we wanted, which included a Friday night meeting around 7-8 pm. John knows many loaners as well and was able to get us set up with a perfect mortgage loaner. We will be recommending John and Sheryl to anyone who may be looking.

John and Sheryl are fantastic relationship builders and trusted realtors. This is our second home in last two years where our realtors were our "eyes and ears" in viewing homes virtually. They helped us find a gem (with an in-ground pool!) ! Friendly and great customer service. They had a wealth of local knowledge in helping us find first-class service providers. The closing only meant the deal was done but the work of John and Sheryl continued as they helped us settle in, checked in on us and ensured we were happy Illinois home owners. HIGHLY AND STRONGLY RECOMMEND!

I really appreciated everything that John & Sheryl did to get my house sold! And in less than a week! There were a couple of hiccups but John reassured me that it would be alright. Bring a single lady and making huge decisions on selling and moving out of state is huge! So to have the reassurance, made a world of difference for me! Thank you so much John & Sheryl!!! ❤️

I'm very glad to give John and Sheryl my highest recommendation. John helped my buy my house in Rockford over 11 years ago when I moved here, and he and Sheryl helped me sell it again 11 years later. Both times, they were patient with my questions and always willing to communicate when I needed to get in touch. They did a great job of walking me through the paperwork of both buying and selling -- really, I doubt they could have been any more helpful. Thanks, John & Sheryl!

John and Sheryl are always a pleasure to work with. They are professional, knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, and patient.
We had been looking for a home for over two years and finally found the “ needle in the haystack”!
We quickly had to prepare to sell not only one, but two homes all within a 30 day window! John and Sheryl were prompt and thorough during this process, and were able to sell both of our properties within days of putting them on the market.
The process was seamless, even when we hit a few road blocks. John was quick to help provide us with his educated recommendations and possible solutions.

Thank you so much for always going above and beyond!

John and Sheryl are amazing to work with! I would not have survived the home buying process without them. Both are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and go above and beyond to help their clients! I am forever grateful for John’s patience and expertise. I do not intend on moving again anytime soon but if I do- John and Sheryl will be the only realtors I work with!

Background - I was seller for a single-family property that needed to move quickly, without cutting any corners. My last home sale was in the 1990’s.
I interviewed several realtors and signed on with John and Sheryl because of their approach to a home sale (i.e., their product) and their reputation for successful sales.

They came on board for an appropriate fee and did a superb job throughout the listing and selling process. The listing resulted in multiple offers being presented; all were above listing price and all were from qualified buyers. After selecting an offer, their experience and network helped me work through the few minor items to be completed before closing. The closing occurred on schedule and in a timely manner, to the satisfaction of all parties.

I recommend John and Sheryl to a home owner or buyer wishing to create a successful sale or purchase.

John and Sheryl Peterson were a true pleasure to work with in finding a new home in the Rockford area. Initially, we asked John to help us find a new home very quickly as we needed to relocate to Rockford with very little notice. John moved quick, found us several properties to visit, and made every accommodation for our very tight schedule. When it became clear that we just weren't finding the one we wanted, John provided some very sage advice and helped us find a short term rental instead. We continued to work with John while in the rental - and he very patiently worked with us over several months to eventually find the home that was perfect for us. John and Sheryl have tremendous insight into the stateline real estate market, they are extremely ethical, and they will put tremendous effort and care into helping you succeed in your real estate goals. Whether you are buying or selling, you can't go wrong in hiring John and Sheryl!

I strongly recommend John and Sheryl for your realty needs! I had a great experience working with them to buy a home in 2016. I looked at many homes before I found my dream place; the Peterson’s were patient and helpful. Six years later, it was time to move and it was an easy decision to call them to list my house. They were extremely knowledgeable about the market and were available for my many questions. They connected me to the perfect buyer. Selling a home is a lot of work but it seemed like a breeze with John and Sheryl by my side!

John & Sheryl are the best! They go above & beyond to get you the sale. I moved out of the area before selling; they were willing to arrange all the inspections & were quick & efficient with offers & paperwork. But outside of their professionalism, they are really genuine and kind people.

John is very personable & professional. He helped my wife & I find a great condo in a good community. He knew the local market and was always responsive when we had a question. One of his greatest strenghths was to give his opinion on various details such as flooring, carpet etc.
