Testimonials

Ed and Ashley Stroud with Stroud and Associates were amazing to work with buying and selling our home. We had an initial meeting to sell our home where we discussed pricing comparables, staging and our overall expectations of selling our home. From the moment we listed our home everything was perfect. Whenever we had a showing, we always got feedback from the potential buyer and realtor, which is very helpful in making changes to get your house sold. Ashley helped with the staging and decluttering of our home as well. They had a fantastic photographer come in and take photos of our home. When we got an offer on our home, they worked to make sure that we also got the best offer. When our house went through inspections and needed a couple of things fixed, they also had recommendations for places to get that done in a timely manner. 
When it came to buying a new home, their team was incredible on that end too. Whenever we wanted to see a home, we got to see it almost immediately. Their knowledge of the St. Joe market is unbeatable. They truly care about their clients, I never felt pressured to buy a certain home and there were times that when we got excited about a home, Ashley would be quick to point out something that maybe we didn't see that would have been a problem in the future. I truly appreciated that. 

I feel like Stroud and Associates is also your "one stop shop" for buying/selling. If you need a storage unit, they have those available on site. They also are are attached to a mortgage company who we used, who was also amazing!
I can't recommend Stroud and Associates enough. I tell all of my friends who are looking to sell their home. Their services are professional and personal and I believe they are leaps and bounds above any other realtors in this market. Their practices are up to date, full of technology and can't be beaten.

We bought a new house before our current house was even on the market. When the perfect house pops up, you jump on it! We were currently in the middle of remodeling a few things in our old house and I called up Ed and Ashley and asked for their recommendations on what else we should do before we put it on the market.  They had great suggestions and we listened. The process was so smooth and easy and we all agreed on a listing price right off the bat.  The day it was listed, we said our prayers and I was in contact with Ashley throughout the day. After only 8 hours of our house being on the market, we had a full price offer! Tears of joy immediately followed! The selling of the house was flawless and quick. Everything went smoothly and we couldn't be happier! Thanks to them, we are in our dream home and a wonderful little family is taking care of our old home that meant so much to us also. Thank you, Ed and Ashley!

"I brought my needs to Jennifer in our initial phone call, and she claimed she could meet them, understanding that other brokers had not met the standard. She excelled, helping me purchase a strong investment."
Ted Arehart
"Where to start. This home was my mother’s place. Her dream home. She became very ill with vascular dementia and after living in my home to care for her, the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make was to place her in a nursing facility. The second toughest was realizing she wasn’t coming out of this and placing her “dream home” on the market. Susan and Keith came to her home, met with us and provided information about the market, info about Stroud and Associates, and genuinely cared about the predicament my brothers, my wife and family, had been put into. I felt like Susan and Keith were on our side and I didn’t need to worry. Susan always kept in contact. That is the key to a partnership. I woke up this morning feeling relieved that this chapter had concluded. Although very sad, Susan and Keith made it easy. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and a very special thank you to Susan, Keith, Ashley, and all others I didn’t mention who were involved in making this happen. Now, if I only lived closer, I’d be working with you all!"

[She] also was able to provide very proficient and amazing people to work with, closing and moving into a VA loan home in less than 3 weeks[...] was crazy and amazing. She was so accommodating to schedules and the [number] of places we were able to see when we were in KC was awesome. She kept our goal in mind [throughout] the entire process.

Jenn and her team [were] amazing.

[She] had great communication. [She] worked to get us into our home as soon as possible.

Jen was great. [I] could not have asked for a better realtor.

Someone who knew the area. We also needed someone who was available when we were and understanding of crazy schedules. We also needed someone who was personable and had us as a number one priority."

"The entire Stroud & Associates Keller Williams team was professional, proactive, and responsive. We had an excellent experience. We really liked the use of technology and modern sales features. Our listing was posted online very quickly with state of the art photography. All of our paperwork was sent electronically with option for electronic signatures which made the process efficient. Additionally, they assisted us in finding and coordinating contractors to make required repairs. We were very satisfied with our home sale experience, and I would highly recommend Ed and his team."
M. Skinner
"We were a bit concerned because our entire transaction from initial listing to closing needed to be handled long distance. However, Stroud & Associates-Keller Williams's entire team made us very comfortable and confident in the proceedings. We received very timely communication and assistance throughout. As with most real estate transactions we encountered a couple of issues along the way, but their office immediately jumped into action and very quickly helped us with the resolution of each item.

As a result, we actually closed two weeks earlier than originally expected.

Overall, a truly exceptional experience! We would highly recommend Stroud & Associates-Keller Williams!"

Jason Callaway
"I've had to opportunity to work with Stroud & Associates on the buying and selling sides. Each time, the staff has been incredibly professional, attentive, and caring throughout the process.

From my first showing when looking for a property Chuck and Jackson made a great first impression and continued to care about my needs as a buyer through the entire process.

During my transactions, I also worked with Stacy and Lisa from the office and they were very prompt, efficient, and accessible during both processes.

Lastly, I was able to work with Mr. Stroud on the selling of my property. He understood my situation and did his best to get the results we needed.

If I'm ever in need of realtor business, they're my go-to group/company. I would highly recommend all my friends and family to work with the St. Joseph Stroud and Associates group. Salt of the earth, honest, genuine people."
Monica Compton
"As a group, we started out to sell our mothers home in Mission, Kansas ourselves. It was not so much of a task and we felt comfortable to do it. However, as life became busy and we needed to move the house quicker it was decided to review offers from broker agents.

We looked at a few other agents who had called several times. We listened to their pitches and reviewed their websites. One stood out as the agent for us, Stroud & Associates Keller Williams seemed the most complete, and understandable. They listened to what we wanted, made suggestions and moved very quickly once we agreed to work with them.

The staff at Stroud's agency was very efficient and remained in contact daily. They explained the process, the next step and the why's of everything. They were very accommodating with late hours based on our availability and helpful with pieces to consider and ideas as offers were made.

The home sold within a few days and was closed within a few weeks. We are very happy with the ease of the process and would recommend Stroud & Associates to anyone in the area looking for a home or selling their own."

"Stroud and Associates helped us buy our new house and sell our old house and the process was easy and smooth. Their quick responses to our questions and attentiveness were spectacular. Our house sold the first day on the market and their recommendations of what to do to our house before listing it were spot on. They are very knowledgeable and we appreciate all their help!"
Melissa Pfister
"The process was quick and easy. I made a call, Ed came out, gave me a quick rundown of the process and things to expect.

Within the first week, I had over 10 showings and within ten days I had a buyer.

The agent who showed the house to the buyer was one of their very own.

Moving and selling a home is stressful, using Stroud and Associates Keller Williams helped to limit some of the natural stresses that you may encounter during the process."

"For us, this was truly a flawless experience! From the beginning to the end. All of your staff were professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and friendly. As a seller, and a buyer at the same time, the organization that your staff had was fantastic and kept us on track.

Lisa and Stacy are true assets to your business, in our opinion. Their timeliness and attentiveness to our concerns and individual needs were amazing and still have me talking about your business, a month after our purchase! Ed was down to business when he helped us get our house on the market. He helped us select a realistic price for our house to get the right people in there looking. Jackson was great to work with and understood what our needs were and worked with the seller's realtor to make sure we were in a great position going into our new home. Thank you, Stroud & Associates, for making what could have been a nightmare into a dream!"

Sam V
"Just moving to the area from out of state made buying a little difficult.

I spoke with Stroud & Associates Keller Williams before I ever left Oregon and for 7 months I had a "personal' guide.

KM is probably my connection to the buying process. KM was more than helpful and would go great lengths to accommodate me. She returned my calls promptly and would even call me periodically from August to January to keep us both updated. I explained to KM what I needed as a buyer and she teamed me with yet another exceptional Stroud & Associates Keller Williams team member, CD, who sold us our house!!

Thank you, KM, LA, CD, and all team members we did not have the privilege to meet.

Every staff member treated us like family. Very fine folks to deal with."
Cindy Hymes
"I can honestly say that we were very concerned when we first set out to buy a home! We had heard tons of stories about how difficult it was!. How there was a lot of back and forth between trying to get showings and get bids put through! People had been manipulated by sellers and buyers agents! Just all around bad experiences. I am happy that we went with Stroud & Associates Keller Williams! Everything was straight up front. Nothing went on behind our backs. We were involved the whole way through and they made it easy. Felt like it took forever but it went better than buying a car! I couldn't be happier with the people we worked with!"
Eric Hall
"Very professional broker and handled my needs successfully.

Office staff terrific to work with. Ed a little hard to get in touch with, but Stacy and Lisa always there to help bridge any questions with fast responses. They are wonderful office personnel.

Always helpful and listened to any questions or concerns I had. [They] did a very professional job of keeping me posted at all times with the listing and sale of my property. Will use next time, if listing another property."
Sheila

Helping me under everything and walking through the steps with me. Also being available at any time for questions I might have really helped also. Since I basically had no idea what I was doing.
