Paula Blinkinsop - Davenport, Iowa
We realize that many of our friends prefer to not list their homes with a real estate company, but we credit Don Marple and Mel Foster Co. with selling our home in less than a week! With so much at stake, we believe in hiring a "professional" to do the job.

Kelly made the whole process so easy. She helped us set a fair price and our house sold in 4 days for full asking price! It was a great experience and we would highly recommend Kelly and Mel Foster to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Debbie Dittmann - Davenport, Iowa
I normally would've sold my house 'By Owner' for money purposes. But because I had to move so quickly and to another country, I needed a Realtor. This is my first experience using a Realtor and Pat was worth the money spent - her service and help was so wonderful, I will never go FSBO again!

I am an attorney, so naturally I am inherently suspicious of real estate agents. However, Cindy has completely changed my mind about good agents. She was always friendly and knowledgeable, and was never pushy. She worked hard for us and earned every cent of her commission. I will recommend her to anybody I know who is looking to buy a home and she is a great asset to your company.

Pam is "Outstanding". She helped us find financing through Quad City Bank. Mel Foster did make it happen - when Ruhl & Ruhl didn't!

Carol was really on our side with our best interests at heart. MF Co. sold our house in a short amount of time and season where others are stuck and scared, wondering if and when they will sell their home in a shaky market. Our Realtor really came through for us. We really appreciate Carol and the job she did for us.

Even though Cathy wasn't 100% sure if we were qualified to purchase a home, she still treated us like first class clients and even found us financing. Cathy Gardiner is not only patient but also diligent, helpful, kind and should be the poster child for Mel Foster and what an agent should be. You never know who will become a buyer. Thanks Cathy for not prejudging!

Buying and selling a home/condo can be stressful. Mel Foster and John Loquist made the transition smooth and easy. Jon coordinated showings to fit into our schedule. We felt respected and in good hands. I would definitely use Jon Loquist and Mel Foster Co. in the future.

Mr. & Mrs. Bobby Batchelor - DeKalb, Texas
Mrs. Franks was extremely patient and thorough in explaining the contract and related documents. Diana Franks is a knowledgeable real estate professional. She is very friendly and a joy to deal with. My house was a small, older home in the $90K to $100K range. However, I believe that Mrs. Franks treated me as well as clients selling property for many times that amount. She was awesome.

This deal was close to falling through a number of times but Don's determination and follow through "made it happen." He gave us excellent service. This was an unusual property that required a lot of research with regard to some vacant lots that were part of the deal. Don took it all in stride and went the extra distance to ensure both buyers and sellers would be happy with the deal.

I was wtih Mel Foster and Jim Spense for 2 years. Through those 2 years, he took his time to find what we needed and where we needed it. He made selling our home a breeze, and buying the new one a dream come true. Jim Spence and Mel Foster know how to do it, and do it right, and to do what was best for us.

It has been our pleasure to work with Tim Martin. We were assigned to Mel Foster and Tim through my husband's relocation when we moved to the Quad Cities. Prior to our first meeting with Tim, we sent him some ideas of what we were looking for in a prospective home. We were not disappointed, each house hunting outing with Tim was very productive. Tim's attention to detail and follow-through, his knowledge of the market, background in house construction, great listening and observation skills helped give him the ability to help us select a home reflective of our lifestyle and one that was a great value for our money. Tim is a tough negotiator and worked hard to serve our best interest. He was always available for questions, even after the cloing. He is a real professional, and we highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a Realtor. On a personal note, Tim is very pleasant and he has a great sense of humor. He always gave us as much time as we needed, we never felt like we were being rushed. We consider ourselves fortunate to have been paired with Tim, and we enjoyed working with him.

Ms. Sandra DeMay - Rock Island, Illinois
I thought I would never own my own home again. I don't think I would have one now if Don Klingler had not worked with me and he never gave up. I cannot tell all the little things, the many conversations - he spent so much time when I was a little buyer. He always treated me with respect and care. I am overwhelmed with all that was done to see me into my home. Don is Mel Foster to me.

Deb was incredibly helpful in finding us the house we were looking for and within our budget. She also helped welcome us to the area, with phone numbers of schools, utilities, . . .etc. She also kept us aware of different carnivals, festivals, parades, and other local activities coming up (especially for the kids). Most importantly, she did not try to push houses or prices on us we clearly did not want. And when we couldn't find what we were looking for, she kept her eyes open and continued to help us for the better part of two years off and on. Thanks Deb.

We were in Indiana when our home was on the market. Theresa handled ALL my dirty work such as radon and roof estimates. She even staged my empty house. She earned every penny. With the market currently in the state it is, you have to be a good agent to sell a house and still walk away with profit. Mrs. Golderman did this. She never gave up and never let me give up. I felt 100% at ease with my future in her hands and she treated me as GOLD. Thank you again!

To make it easier for us, Jim went through everything and answered every question and kept in great contact throughout everything. We received service above and beyond Jim's job.

Mr. & Mrs. Tom Glenn - Bettendorf, Iowa
Monte was great! I felt like he geniunely cared for us and for selling our home. He did all he could to promote the sale of our home via open houses and REALTOR lunches. Even though he had many listings at once, I never felt like ours was sitting on the back burner. He had faith in our home even when we didn't. It was nice to have him on our side. He gave us great feed back and always kept the line of communication open. We were proud to have him as our REALTOR and I consider him a friend. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Mr. & Mrs. Carlos Castro - Monmouth, Illinois
Our REALTOR went above and beyond through every phase of our purchase. Judy Gordam has got to be one of your best agents. She is so friendly, so knowledgeable, so very professional, it was a sheer pleasure to have her as our agent. Julie could be reached all the time - home, office, even when she was on the road - she could be reached. She did alot of extra footwork for us because we live out-out-town from where we purchased this new home. We greatly appreciate all her hard work and extra efforts. We appreciate Mrs. Gorham as a person, also, she have become a dear friend and we think she is very, very special.

Mr. Spence went above and beyond. He was my second REALTOR in buying a house this time around. I let the first one go due to her lack of professionalism and she made me uneasy. Mr. Spence made up for it and was truly a joy to work with.

This could've been a difficult process, but it wasn't. Bob Moberg was very professional and helpful. The house sold was my grandmothers. There were alot of memories there but it also needed ALOT of work. Bob made the process unpainful and fast. The house sold in 5 WEEKS, we were very happy.

Mr. & Mrs. Keith Patty - Geneseo, Illinois
Kathryn is very professional. She made us feel confident in Mel Foster because she greeted us with an impeccable air of good taste. She is warm, genuine, and friendly, but she also knows the area and market. She lead us through the process of purchasing our first home with grace and never made us feel we were outside our comfort zone. She listened to us and heard what we wanted. If Kathryn is representative of Mel Foster Co., we look forward to working with the company again.

The virtual tour made the difference - a great selling tool. There was a great deal of assistance after we moved and before closing. There is enough to worry about when you need to move out-of-state without having to stress about the details of selling your house. The professionals at Mel Foster Co. take out the stress and almost made it "fun." We had a great "dream team."
