Our Clients Say It Best
“Throughout my home-buying process, Jodi and Brent were incredibly communicative. They both promptly answered my calls and emails, keeping me informed about every development. Their ability to clearly explain complex contract and loan details was particularly helpful. So glad I went through this process with them and Educators Advantage!”
“Brent continues to be the best partner when buying a home. He is very prompt with answering questions, says things in simple terms that are easy to understand, works hard to give you the options that are going to work for you, and overall makes a stressful situation as positive as possible. His whole team works quickly as well and are a delight to work with.”
“2024 was an amazing year for us and Team Hjorth was a huge part of it! They quickly sold our homes and found us the perfect home for us in an extremely tight market! The timing of everything could not have worked out any better, and we are grateful to Team Hjorth for their approach and expertise. We highly recommend Team Hjorth to anyone that would like to buy or sell a home that meets all their needs.”
“Jodi went above and beyond to help us sell our home. She helped me find folks to do repairs, paint, clean, and even sent a very talented stager to make our home look even better!! She answered my calls promptly, and came over at the drop of the hat more than once!! We could not be more grateful for Jodi and her entire team!! They are definitely every home sellers dream team!!!”
“Nannette is absolutely extraordinary! She listened closely to our desires and put in a tremendous amount of work to pinpoint particular communities and neighborhoods where we might find our forever home. After finding the perfect place, she continued to provide support by suggesting others who could help us close – and continued to follow-up to ensure the entire process went smoothly. We could not have asked for a better experience our real estate agent!”
“I had an excellent experience with Brent! He is a very talented, organized, responsive and helpful loan officer. He made the lending process understandable and easy to navigate. As a first time home buyer, I could not have imagined that getting the mortgage could be this easy. I highly recommend Brent to anyone who is seeking a mortgage because he is absolutely the perfect partner for that experience!”
“We absolutely loved working with Jodi. She helped us get our dream house as first time home owners! She did a great job communicating with us throughout the process and answering all of our first time home owner questions. We were able to go from first talks with her to moving into our new home in under 2 months! We would recommend Jodi to anyone looking for an agent, and will!”
“Brent helped out greatly during our buying a house process. We had issues with another lender and Brent came to the rescue. He helped us with the loan application process from begining to end. He communicated with us constantly even answered after hours questions. Thank you Brent!”
“Jodi and her team are incredible! They are efficient, professional and do what they say! We highly recommend them. They came to us with a complete marketing plan and executed it to perfection. They also provided us with a list of movers and handymen which helped make our closing easier.”
“Brent’s knowledge and expertise regarding our loan as well as his commitment to providing information during the process made for a great experience with Mutual Omaha. His accessibility of time, attentiveness to our needs, willingness to assist us and promptness in closing the loan were exceptional. This is by far the best mortgage lending experience we’ve ever experienced!”
