Re: Tom Verhelst

"When listing our home in Fergus Falls, we were aware that the housing market was facing difficulties and that selling our home would be a challenge. With that in mind, we chose Tom, knowing that he was one of the best real estate agents in our area and would best serve our needs. When our home sold, both of us left the Century 21 office agreeing that we'd picked the right agent to sell our home. We would not hesitate to recommend Tom Verhelst to anyone that is in the market for buying or selling real estate."

Jody and Leisha Coleman

Re: Tom Verhelst

"Tom Verhelst with CENTURY 21® helped us with our move into town. He was very knowledgeable about the housing market and about the town we moved to. Tom was very professional and sincere in helping us find just the right house for us. We couldn't have found a nicer person to help with our transition into town. Tom wasn't there just to make the sale, he's been there afterwards to answer additional questions. We recommend Tom and CENTURY 21®..."

Bill and Donna Ice

Re: Tom Verhelst

"Tom was excellent to work with. He was always professional, reachable, and resourceful. He didn't drop the ball. He dealt with problems that occurred several months after the closing of my new home."

Terry Loven

Re: Tom Verhelst

"I want to thank you for the outstanding service you provided our family throughout our recent move to Fergus Falls. Every stop of the way you were helpful, friendly and professional. I appreciated your availability to show us homes our first day in town on very short notice. Your knowledge of the real estate market and the Fergus Falls community was very helpful in choosing a home and also made the transition into the community easier for our family. Your attention to detail throughout the process was also evident and made the transaction much easier for us. Your experience and customer orientation shine through in the many details of this transaction. Post sale, you have continued to be available and responsive to a variety of calls and we greatly appreciate your help. In summary, we could not have been more pleased with your help throughout this process. I would be proud to recommend you to others who are in need of real estate services in the future. I am looking forward to beginning my new role at Lake Region Health Care Services and hope to see you around the community."

Peter and Ann Jacobson

Re: Tom Verhelst

"Once again I'd like to thank you for all your help. From the very first day we met you, we've felt comfortable working with you. You were always extremely helpful and always did everything necessary to make this a smooth process for us. You took the time to communicate with us every step of the way. We always felt like we knew what was going on. You understand your market, property values, pricing and found just the right buyer for our house, and in record time! We would definitely work with you again and would recommend you to anyone who wants to have a positive selling or buying real estate experience. I have bought and sold many properties, but have never had one work this smoothly and this quickly, thanks to you."

Thanks again!

Teresa Temreull

Re: Tom Verhelst

"I have had the pleasure to be associated with Tom Verhelst for approximately the last 9 years. I consider Tom to be one of our top realtors handling our Real Estate Owned (REO) properties in the State of Minnesota. Over the years I have come to rely on Tom's expertise and advice in the real estate market to minimize our losses on selling our REOs. My experience with Tom is that he is a highly detailed orientated person, timely in submitting paperwork/purchase agreements, and highly reliable. Tom has sold several "tough" properties for Minnesota Housing Finance Agency in a timely manner. If you or your organization are looking for a reliable, trustworthy realtor, I strongly recommend Tom Verhelst."

Hal H. Rossi, Portfolio Management/Quality Control Minnesota Housing Finance Agency

Re: Tom Verhelst

"Initially, we did not know Tom very well - we chose to list with him because he has a wonderful reputation. We knew that buyers who were looking at homes in our price market would likely contact Tom and Century 21. Tom is professional, detail oriented, and great with follow-up communications after a showing. We felt throughout the entire process we knew exactly what potential buyers thought of our home. Tom was honest and direct in his communication with us - which we truly appreciated. After working with Tom, we can honestly say, we know exactly why he has such a great reputation - we would list with him again!"

Carrie Brimhall

Re: Tom Verhelst

"We are happy to be back in Fergus Falls and in our new home. We want to thank you for your essential role in bringing this about. From that initial phone call over 18 months ago until the present, you have always been most helpful, cheerful and generous with your time in all of our dealings. We feel that you've gone beyond the call of duty in all that you've done for us. Because of our distance and health, we relied on you to do many "extras" that we were unable to do. You never made us feel as if we were expecting or asking too much of you. We truly appreciate your hard work as well as the spirit in which you did it."

MaryAnn and Jim McDonald

Re: Tom Verhelst

"During the process of selling our homes, Tom kept us informed weekly on the status of our homes as well as the status of the real estate market in the area. He helped us make tough decisions and definitely protected our interests. His quick response time and professionalism is a wonderful quality that many Realtors do not possess. Not only was Tom wonderful to work with, but the entire staff at Century 21 Vista was helpful including Erin Neumann who handled our closing. Her expertise helped us handle list minute items that always seem to pop up prior to the closing."

J.Eddy and Judy Edwards

"I've never met my Century 21 agent in person. Our communication has been by phone and e-mail. Jon Drews was very helpful and prompt in his helping me and my sons, who researched the property before I made an offer.

Re: Karen Zell

I would like to extend a sincere "thank you" for your efforts in getting the Wadena home sold! Thanks for all your assistance and advice. You went above and beyond any normal expectations to assist with this sale and it is much appreciated. Karen, you were wonderful to work with.

Fr Dale Lagodinski, St Johnâ€™s Church â€“ Wahpeton, ND

Re: Connie Caspers

â€œPlease know how wonderful our home buying experience has been with Connie Caspers as our REALTOR®â€¦She has been the most pleasant, helpful and encouraging coach for us as we searched for our retirement home in Minnesota. She returned my first phone call on a holiday weekend from her home to make arrangements to meet with us the very next day. She had carefully prepared listing information on several homes for us to see and guided us through information regarding the lake area and the nuances of lake living. Even after we returned to our home in Colorado, she walked us through preparations for an offer and kept us up to date daily on its progress with the sellers. She has promptly sent us additional listings by email of other properties in the area that fit our list of wants and needs throughout the winter months keeping us updated on potential properties for sale. Connie has given us well more than we ever expected from a real estate agent. Her caring service to us has been the best weâ€™ve experienced in many years of home buying and selling!â€

Re: Connie Caspers

"Connie - thank you for your care and comfort during this process. This $1,000 check is for you and your husband to enjoy a weekend somewhere".
