The handling of this sale was superb. This sale was the fifth property that we have purchased or built and eventually sold, and was handled the best by far. My opinion of Jon Loquist couldn't be higher, and regard him a true professional. You are very fortunate to have him as an employee.
Mr. & Mrs. Verne Vlach - Wataga, Illinois
Bryan goes out of his way to see that you look at everything and eventually get what you want in your home. We lived out of town, downstate, and he made all transactions easier for us. Bryan and Mel Foster go out of their way to please you!

Diane held open house, staged our property, was very professional, and had a great attitude in general. She did a great job and I would highly recommend her.
Mr. & Mrs. Mark Bazely - Coal Valley, Illinois
Maria was awesome and extremely helpful in keeping our nerves calm. She has a real go-getter attitude. We would recommend Maria to friends and family.
Mr. & Mrs. Craig Kuriger - Geneseo, Illinois
Betsy kept us informed as to progress. She is a fantastic listener and is very good at quieting customer fears. We built a new house and, as it turned out, we put our old house on the market just as the housing market and economy fell apart. In spite of this, Betsy still managed to get our old house sold at a fair price. She arranged for all inspections, repairs, etc. Betsy setup meetings with the contractor on the new house, loans, closings, etc. All we had to do was show up on time.
Sheryl Briggs - Rock Island, Illinois
Carol is excellent. So knowledgeable about the market, what to check when looking at a property and who to contact for a second opinion. She always calls back or follows-up on everything. Stays in touch, is always on top of new listings. Just excellent! You are lucky to have Carol as a representative of your company.
Angela Kuster - Silvis, Illinois
I couldn't have purchase my town home without Mel Foster Co. It was my first time home buying experience. Wayne walked me through the whole buying process. He was very honest, helpful and sincerely had my best interests in mind. It was a great experience and I love my new home. Thank you Mel Foster Co.
Jason Dankart - Davenport, Iowa
Rick made buying, looking for a home a fun experience. Never once did he try to pressure me into a home. If I didn't want one home we would move on and look at another. Rick answered every question I had. I have bought 4 houses with 4 different Realtors and I will not every use anybody but Rick Schwanz again. Rick is a true asset to Mel Foster Co. Wonderful job!
Chuck & Toni Ann Ames - Davenport, Iowa
We are an Army family. We had just a few days in town from out of state t find a home. The Realtor we lined up had a family emergency and we were on our own. Thankfully we called on a home listed by Jacque. We had a great experience. Jacque was very accessible since we were working from Georgia with some time spent traveling abroad. We felt she was on our team and ready to go from the first phone call.
Mr. & Mrs. Gerardo Bojorquez - Davenport, Iowa
Dennis made us feel as if we were his only clients and focused his attention to the sale and purchase of our homes. Dennis was a great help and we will absolutely refer him to all who are seeking help with his services. If we sell or buy again . . . Dennis Bell will be our Agent!!!

Josh was an absolute delight to work with. He made himself available to us whenever we needed something. He made buying our first home an easy and enjoyable experience. We will use/recommend Josh in the future.
Cyrus Zargar & Shirin Hoseini - Davenport, Iowa
Rick is simply the best Realtor we've ever dealt with . . . he is amazing! Rick was a god-send for us. He has helped us with absolutely everything. You are in good hands with RIck. We were new to the Quad Cities, but Rick was friendly and willing to answer our every question and request. We feel that we can always count on Rick in the future.
Andrew & Sheena Wilkins - Silvis, Illinois
We will definitely use Marc for an agent in the future! He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He worked with us on our schedule very well and was just a true pleasure to work with every step of the way! We definitely recommend Marc to anyone that asks!
Associate: Marc Engels - Kimberly Road Office
Mr. & Mrs. Tony Erps - Walcott, Iowa
This is the 3rd time we have worked with Chris in buying and selling and he has done an excellent job every time. Chris goes the extra mile to do everything he can to make his clients happy and easy for them. Chris helped me get in touch with a moving company to make the move less stressful. On closing day, Chris helped getting the last few items out of the house and vacuumed so the house would be ready for the new family to move in after the closing.
Mr. & Mrs. Matthew Warner - Galesburg, Illinois
Chuck Ross and the Mel Foster Co. were tremendous in helping us sell our house!!! It sold at the FIRST SHOWING! Chuck was so wonderful to work with and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!!
Gordon Holmgren - Galesburg, Illinois
Charlie knew what we were looking for and kept us informed as to what was available. We didn't have to look at property that would never interest us. Also when we wanted to see a property, it was arranged very timely, not sometime in the future. When we called, we could reach him. Our purchase was complex, but Charlie explained and assisted with all the needed to be done to expedite the sale.
Michelle Elmendorf - Moline, Illinois
Paula Nabb was amazing and so helpful. I will not do business with anyone else, she became like one of the family and made my 1st house purchase an excellent experience!

Mr. & Mrs. James Hans - Rock Falls, Illinois
Oh my, if it went any faster and smoother, we'd be dizzy. This was made so easy and fast, it just seemed to be almost impossible. Our new house closing was suppose to be 6-8 weeks, but we needed to be out of our rental in 4 weeks or less. Because of our banker, Mel Foster and most of all the persistence of Kristy Pipes, she made all of our dreams come true in awesome timing of 3 weeks! Thanks Mel Foster and Kristy, you really did make the difference for our new lives in OUR NEW HOME!!!!
Denise Henderkott - Bettendorf, Iowa
Mr. Hatler was very generous with his time and gave us ideas on how to sell the house. He was easy to get in touch with. He was very informative since I had never sold a house before. Terry was great. We got an offer on the house within 48 hours!
Mr. & Mrs. Charles Forsythe - Kewanee, Illinois
Peggy Tossell is a miracle worker! The two short weeks we had our house on the market were eased by both the company and the realtor. She was always in contact with us and did everything possible to sell our house at the price we needed. She could not have done anything better!
Mr. & Mrs. Tom Likely - Bettendorf, Iowa
Jim always kept in touch regarding an open house and followed up after the open with the information we were interested in. Jim was knowledgeable and willing to check out anything we wanted. Jim has a pleasant personality and very positive attitude. You also have a great and up-to-date website - it is great!
Mr. & Mrs. Dale Petesch - Bettendorf, Iowa
Dave was highly recommended by co-workers at the Rock Island Arsenal. Dave picked me up at the Residence Inn for 1 1/2 months while looking for houses to buy. He supplied us with information on the area, school districts, and history of houses so we could make our final decision possible. I had many dealings with Realtors in many parts of the country and Dave far surpasses all of them. He provides great service, patience, and knowledge.
Stephanie Maxwell
The home we found was "For Sale By Owner." John met with the owner and they agreed to work with him. I would not have felt comfortable making this purchase without him as my agent to represent me. Being a first time home buyer, I valued all of his guidance and knowledge. Within 24 hours of viewing the home on the weekend, we were able to make an offer and have it be accepted. We closed 18 days after the offer. Now that's Service! Without John, that would never have happened!

Mr. Chris Sabino - Bettendorf, Iowa
Matt Wood was very helpful after I had some problems with a Realtor at a different real estate company. He stepped in right away after one phone call and started finding houses for me. The relaxed business partnership was just what I needed during what can be a stressful time.

JoAnn Abels - Forreston, Illinois
Pam is a very caring lady and professional. She was very helpful in everything. She got the job done very quickly - only 2 WEEKS and it was SOLD.
Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Christy - Rock Island, Illinois
Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Cullins - Cape Coral, Florida
My husband and I used Mel Foster two other times and both times our house sold very quickly. With today's economy, Mel Foster proved even in these tough times they still rose above and beyond and the house sold very quickly. Our first one sold in two weeks and the last one sold in four weeks. Anybody who wants their house sold should use Mel Foster!!!!
Theresa Oliger - Rock Island, Illinois
I never would have imagined that with my small budget, I would find a REALTOR who would spend 3 hours every Saturday with me to help me find the perfect house. Donna probably showed me 40+ houses and I couldn't spend more than $100,000. I felt like she always made me a priority.
James Leahy - Rock Island, Illinois
Chuck was so friendly and helpful. He explained everything well. When showing houses he pointed out things we never thought of or knew about. Chuck was very good at finding houses we would like. He was not pushy like some agents can be and I really felt like he cared about finding us, a home we would love and could afford. We'll use Chuck again to buy/sell.
Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Brocka - Davenport, Iowa
Scott Kelling handles your transaction like it's his own. You won't find a better agent anywhere. He's dedicated, thorough and extremely responsive. He's the living proof of 'Making It Happen!' Scott has handled 3 recent purchases for us and he's working on a fourth. We'll definitely be back for more.
Mr. Eric Rodriguez - Bettendorf, Iowa
Thanks Mel Foster. I am happy with the home I purchased. Keep up the good work. Both Kristi and Lynsey did a great job for me.
Associates: Kristi McFate & Lynsey Engels - I-74 Office
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.
Mr. & Mrs. Mark Ulseth - Bloomington, Indiana
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!
Mr. & Mrs. Matt Kwacala - Galesburg, Illinois
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.
Associate: Cindy Flaherty - Galesburg Office
Mr. & Mrs. Jason Butler - Davenport, Iowa
Pam is "Outstanding". She helped us find financing through Quad City Bank. Mel Foster did make it happen - when Ruhl & Ruhl didn't!
Melissa Clemons - Bettendorf, Iowa
Amie can use my testimonial for her business. She goes above and beyond in assisting in the staging of your house and marketing the property to the community and to other real estate agents. Amie's dedication in helping me sell my house was above my expectations.
Love Young - East Moline, Illinois
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!
Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Birr - Muscatine, Iowa
Harry should be nominated for some kind of patience award. We must have gone through 100 homes with him and he was excited and pleased to go through each one of them. He gave us his honest opinion but didn't push it upon us either. Harry also traveled to Muscatine multiple times to help us find our house. He was able to provide us with a wealth of information and also people to talk with to get more information or inspections done. I would recommend him to anyone!
Tony Jones - Eldridge, Iowa
We had never built a home before and Chris was very helpful throughout the whole process. He was friendly and quickly answered any and all questions. I would recommend Chris to family and friends!
Ms. Melissa Hirst - Rock Island, Illinois
Pat was great to work with. I could not have asked for a better agent. She made my first home purchase easy and enjoyable. Thanks Pat. Thank you for all your help and support!
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.
Ms. Sara Gabbard - East Moline, Illinois
All stereotypes, myths, and previous bad experiences with realtors were dispelled by my association with Ginger. She helped guide, but never pushed as I continually revised my needs and wishes. Her patience was infinite!
Dennis & Candace Neal - Cambridge, Illinois
Ms. Robin McGuire - Eldridge, Iowa
Tom was extremely helpful with my move from another state, especially in orienting me to the area. His assistance made a stressful situation much easier. Tom was friendly, professional,and stayed on top of everything. He always kept me informed of what was happening and followed through on everything he said.
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.

Scott kept in touch with us for 3 years and mailed us new listings. When we made the decision to build he knew us! With luck and Wanda Evins and Scott our house sold in 10 days!
Mr. & Mrs. James Winger - McCordsville, Indiana
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. Goldermann 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!
Mr. & Mrs. Gregory Ashby - Eldridge, Iowa
Dave goes the extra mile. We have known Dave for a few years and not only respect him for his knowledge of the market and homes but for his personal integrity, honesty and work ethic. He truly is an asset to Mel Foster Co.
Mr. & Mrs. Brent Gentry - Atkinson, Illinois
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. He stayed with us for over a year to find our dream home and then sell our old house. I wouldn't trust anyone else but Mel Foster Co. and Jim Spence.

Mr. & Mrs. Tom Glenn - Bettendorf, Iowa
Monte was great! I felt like he genuinely 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!

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."
